A Shadow Cast in Dust

Webworld #1

by Ben Johnson

The ancient order of the web spinners is changing. An old friend returns brandishing a curious silver knife, and Stewart Zanderson is drawn into a strange world of wonder and deceit. The ensuing bloody scene sets Detective Clementine Figgins on his tail, and into a case she could never explain. But the boy, escaped from the dreaded warehouse, now has the knife. And running from his captors through the canyons of San Diego with his new friends and special dog, he ties everything together. People fight. Some die. The ancient order will change, but who will rise when the dust settles?

[Wes · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting take on urban fantasy. Good characters and story-line. There are times you can tell this is a debut novel, a few minor things that are just a little rough around the edges, but overall a pretty enjoyable book. I will be reading the sequel, so that says a lot!
