Review: Along Came a Spider
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 08 1, 2013
This is book #3 of the Transplanted Tales and the most current of the series. What can I say, book 3 follows the same formula as the previous ones and continues on with the similar story arc that started in Red with all the crimes and murders initiated by Sebile and Vlad, then continued on to Lavender and now to Trish. Little Miss Muffet was introduced in Reds story, to me she seemed like a timid science type who analyzed forensic evidence and honestly didn't appear all awesome like, even when we saw her in Lavender's story, she was taking a beating, but we did find out that she was totally in love (in a kind of creepy way) with Nicky Blue.In this book Trish is in now, way more active, bad ass and vulgar, a by-product of hanging with Red apparently. We do get a little peek into our previous couples lives, but this one focuses on Trish and her Nicky, and we find out why the spider frightened Miss Muffet away, and it actually gets kind of dark. The beginning is actually a little dark and suspenseful, until we get to the romance part, which is more than Red had but a little less than Lavender. I will be honest I wasn't as interested in this story as much as the other ones. Though we do introduce some interesting new villains, which I'm sure will be featured in future books, my interest seems to be in finding out who Gideon is. He is kind of an enigma, no one knows where he comes from and he is just someone you want to figure out. Honestly I hope the next book is about him, cause he's pretty freaking awesome.What should you expect from this book? Pretty much the same as the previous two, we have action, suspense, near death experiences and romance. This one is shorter than the previous ones and answers a few questions as well as tying up a few loose ends. However there are new loose ends that will need to be tied in the future.
