*Recieved this as part of the Voracious Readers Only*
Let me start by saying I enjoy a good murder... mystery (I guess this could be considered that). I wasn't a fan of this. But, before I get into the negative stuff let me highlight some of the things the author did very well. Her writing style connects with the reader, really throwing them in the story. That's probably the reason I even started it. The characters are realilistic and plots twist incredible. It's well written and I probably would have rated it 5 stars if it was a different genre. (All me NOT the author).
Now the negative. (Sorry I really don't want to offend anyone). Yes, I've thought of some odd, painful ways to kill people, but not to the level this book goes to. Not gonna lie, I didn't finish it. I got over halfway before I was done. This book made me physically sick, and I have a pretty strong stomach. There is a lot of language and other explict content. I would never recomend this book. Plus, there's a cult thing that's just down right disturbing. I'm sorry Miss Yelich-Koth, this book isn't for me.

schmieg330's review
I got 16 pages in before I had enough of the author constantly reminding me of the main character's "nice, muscular body" that was "extremely attractive to nearly all women, and even some men."
The medical examiner is also apparently super hot, with a "China doll mouth" (kill me), but our main character wants nothing to do with her, because she's an "ice queen." Jesus f***ing Christ.

brittsbookclub's review against another edition
4.0
When a serial killer begins to kill again, at an even quicker pace than before, Detective Sean Trann feels as if there is a personal vendetta against him. The killer, Spider, begins to use the people closest to Sean as part of his game. Will Sean be able to figure out who Spider is and stop them in time to stop anymore killings and save those he loves? Spider’s Truth, written by Christa Yelich-Koth, is a psychological detective thriller that will keep you reading until the end.
I enjoyed this book and thought it was well written. There was always something happening so it kept me interested from beginning to end! Christa Yelich-Koth created strong characters, and I especially enjoyed the strong female characters included in this book. Spider’s Truth kept the action coming from beginning to end and included all the twists and turns expected from a thriller.
If you like detective thrillers, go ahead and give this book a try!
