I really, really wanted to be scared to death by this book, but I wasn't, which is why it got a 4 instead of a 5. The cover made me really think that this was going to be a spine-tingling book that had you thinking the world was under attack by what you would think were spiders, but really it would be something more sinister or scarier. But it wasn't, it was spiders. They aren't normal spiders, but we don't quite know what they are yet.

I will say, this book did give me some heeby-jeebies and made me wonder if the itch on the back of my neck was really an itch or, maybe it was a spider. So in that respect, it did a great job of building in a creepy, suspenseful factor. I actually never thought someone could write a more suspenseful scene than the egg sack hatching in the lab. It had me at the edge of my seat ready to slam the book shut--just in case something were to jump out at me

This is definitely a book that sets up a series. You can tell by how much set up into the storyline was placed in this story. There were many, many characters introduced and the author does a great job of keeping you up to date on their individual story lines throughout the book. This draws you in and I really started to care what happened in each of their cases. I am excited to read the next in the series when it comes out and find out how the story continues.
