Review: This is the first book I have read of Sarah Rayne and to be honest it won't be the last. Although it started a bit slow for me it quickly developed into an eerie story with twists and turns everywhere. The atmosphere it creates when reading is electric and I found it hard to put down often reading it late at night which probably wasn't a good idea as I became all too aware of my surroundings and every little noise.
I did find the ending a bit anticlimactic with it kind of falling flat right at the last hurdle but having said that it was still an enjoyable read for a stormy night.
Quote: "The dangerous thing about spider light is that it hides things - things you never knew existed. But once you have seen those things, you can never afterwards forget them"
Overall Score: 3/5 Enjoyable read with exciting twists and turns.
