The Dark Web! Well what can I say? This author has done it again. This book is the bomb! I was gripped from the very first page. And such a twist at the end you would never guess where it would lead.
I Loved the 2 characters, They were both so very different and from totally opposite life styles but both equally as interesting. If it weren’t for the dark web these characters would have never interacted with each other. Which makes it so interesting. You are reading the story from 2 very different points of view. And it works really well in this book. Such a talented author.

Brian is messed up mentally. He’s never recovered from having his life change in the blink of an eye taking everything he loved away. I couldn’t help but feel for Brian right from the start of this book. You can feel how mentally unstable he is and I couldn’t help feeling sorry for everything he’s gone through. He’s spiralling in depression and suicidal thoughts and I think he’s really just looking for an out.

Megan is trying to turn her life around and even though she’s doing that in a slightly different way to how others would, you can’t knock her for trying. She’s had her own battles to fight but she seems a lot stronger than Brian does until her world gets rocked when she loses a loved one and she’s finds herself tempted to go back to where she started. When her and Brian connect it sends Megan’s life into a tailspin leaving her in danger and not knowing what to do.

I don’t know what I was expecting when I started this book but it wasn’t what I got. It was even better. This isn’t a hearts and flowers story. The characters are flawed, damaged people and their stories are unpredictable, raw and gritty with some unexpected twists thrown in.

This is my first book by this author and it definitely won’t be my last.

Wow! What did I just read?! This book ensnared me from the very first paragraph. The story of these two characters, Brian and Megan totally blew my mind. Both of their lives are dramatically different but they share one thing in common. They meet under unusual circumstances and their lives are forever changed in more ways than one. This story kept me on edge and constantly guessing! The details in this book were so clearly defined, I felt as if I was part of it. In a million years I would never have guessed the ending! You will need to read this story to find out all the details! This is a definite must read!

WOW JUST WOW!!

I was so shocked when I read this it actually rendered me speechless. The twists in the book I did not see coming DID NOT SEE COMING! (Shaking my head still) when I thought it was going one way it would go another.
I loved this book it had me hooked from start to finish and left me in shock I even re-read the last couple of chapters to just see if you could tell what the ending was going to be but nope this author stumped me (which is awesome) I love it when a book is far from predictable and The Dark Web is not predictable it definitely deserves 5 stars and my fingers are crossed for another book... yes readers it was that good!

This is a dark and twisted tale

Not for the faint-hearted, I found myself drawn straight in to the emotional charge of this story. It shows the dark and dangerous side of humanity that we would rather not see. I was riveted right up to the end, and a twist that I did not see coming.

so i bought this book on a whim because it intrigued me as soon as i picked it up. this is a dark and twisted story, if you are looking for a happy ending, you will not find it here.

im honestly not sure what i was expecting. the story was an easy read and kept me hooked from the first page.

it really does paint a picture of the dark depths of the internet and the twisted and unpredictable things that can derive from messing with it.

i did enjoy the read, but i didnt love it. the storyline was predictable, but yet still enticing nonetheless.

i do wish that certain scenes were more detailed and drawn out, particularly Brian’s beginning story with his family. like… his wife telling him not to text and drive out of fear they will have an accident like her brother… then literally getting into an accident and his whole family dying??? like what the, it was just was a bit quick and predictable

overall though, interesting read that demonstrates the corruption amongst us and consequences of messing with the internet!!

Wow oh wow I could not put this book down absolutely amazing got to be one of my favourite books of the year so far.

The two characters Brian and Megan/Chastity come from different backgrounds but are so similar in the what they are going through. Brian after loosing his wife and kids in a car accident two years ago goes on a downward spiral. Megan after becoming addicted to drugs and falling in with the wrong crowd gets kicked out of her parents and moves in with her drug dealer and gets introduced to the dark web where she works doing sexual request for money. They have one thing in common and this is the dark web.

This book keeps you on the edge of your seat right till the very end just when you think you know what's happening a twist comes along then bam another twist at the end. It's so dark and twisted I loved every second of reading it could not fault it. Pick this book up or any other book by C.A. Bell I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.

Ok so this was completely different from what i expected it to be.. i obviously knew it was about The Dark Web but the story was still not what i expected it was better!
It was also completely different from anything ive read before which is a bonus.
Both charcters are struggling through life doing what they can to get through every day... for different reasons... Brian is loaded with guilt and loss...Megan is trying to make enough money to stay drug free and off the streets when The Dark Web brings them together unexpectedly.
Fab easy to read story with a twist thrown in!

This book had me gripped from the start! Something different to my usual read but I was captivated and needed more. You get to see into both of the main characters lives and follow their emotional journeys! The dark web is a whole other world that brings their lives together with very unexpected outcomes. The twists and turns keep you hooked and you cannot put it down. Definitely in my top 10 reads. I love a storyline that is different but keeps you interested until the end. A Fantastic book 😊

Wow! I love it when you start a book and it sucks you straight in and full marks for Dark Web as it did just that . Megan does what she does to survive. And boy did she have some eye popping tasks. This story went a full 180 in where I was expecting it to head, and boy did I enjoy the ride!
