My Thoughts on Spider to the Fly by J.H. Markert –
From the chilling moment Ellie Isles sees her own face mirrored on one of the Spider’s victims, she’s pulled into a murder case that feels disturbingly personal. What begins as fascination quickly spirals into obsession as she works to uncover the truth behind a string of unsolved killings. With each new victim she helps identify, the stakes climb higher—until her own therapist is arrested, and the investigation takes a deeper, dark and unexpected turn.
I HATE SPIDERS AND OH MY GOD. This tale had my skin crawling. The atmosphere is so creepy and intense!
The tension and suspense was truly something else! The way the author paces the storylines, jumping between Ellie’s investigation and the task force, makes you wait for answers, and it’s absolute torture. I wanted to scream at the characters to hurry, but in the best, edge-of-your-seat kind of way.
My Favorite Passages from Spider to the Fly –
“Do you know what’s worse than hating your monsters.”
“No,” Amber said.
“Learning the truth about how your monsters were made,” he said, lowering the gun slightly.
Ever since he’d stuck the needle in her neck out on Cochee Road, and whatever was in the syringe went into her bloodstream, she’d felt loopy, her thoughts scattered and jumbled and crawling over one another for air.
Like spiders in his jar.
