With the spider cult in disarray and the monstrous Vant'therax seeking to capture the Warren children by any means necessary, the brood will have to turn to an estranged friend to evade capture. The new leader of NIDUS, however, may prove to be more than anyone bargained for.

[Heather Hayden · Rating 5 out of 5]

This sequel to The Spider Children is as thrilling and chilling as the first book! Spins and Mark are trapped on a terrifying, alien world where they must fight to stay alive. Meanwhile, back home, Spins's siblings are doing their best to stay ahead of NIDUS, the shadowy organization that's after them. Thankfully, they have the help of a clever (and crackshot) detective named Annika. But even her abilities might not be enough to keep them safe...

Once again, Lander has delivered a rich tale full of intrigue, magic, and the stuff of nightmares. If you enjoy paranormal and occult horror, this series is for you.

I liked this book! It had a very strong start and kept me reading. You get more insights and backstory on many parts of the story (I'm trying to avoid spoilers in the review), which is very interesting and exciting. A few parts felt like they could have been a bit shorter, but other than that I enjoyed reading this one more than the first book and would definitely recommend it.

Great Read

I just finished the first two books of the trilogy and I loved them! This is not something I would usually read but the title caught my eye and I liked the premise of the story. It has humor, horror, funny moments and a little romance. I'm going to start on book 3 right now.
