April 11, 2007: If you like an easy read, a ghost story, a story of the paranormal and reincarnation, you're just getting started on this book. Great characters. Moriah, the kind of person you love to hate. The female Gollum that drives the story. A complex plot line that will confound the reader right up until the last page. Great for book groups who like to delve into the underlying theme of personal responsibility and predestination....or just have a great read of a super suspense.

February 17, 2007: The 'web' analogy drew me in. The cover was dark and moody, just as the title suggests. Better, is the story. Again, the tale is a thrilling mixture of murder, kidnapping, ESP and psychics all of which are captured in the title.....As the characters are snared in the web of the tale, so too was I, as a reader.
