My Review:
Devious Web is a wonderful debut for talented author, Shelley Grandy. I do have to admit that it took a couple of chapters in to get into it. It started off rather slow but suddenly it was non stop from there. I enjoyed reading this thrilling piece of fiction that often kept me on the edge of my seat. There were a lot of twists and turns that I found to be unpredictable. I was often wondering what could possibly happen next from scene to scene. Just when I felt I had the mystery solved something else occurs and had to make another guess. Overall, I thought it was a great suspense filled novel and was honored to have the opportunity to give it a read.
I had the pleasure in listening to the audio version of Devious Web. I enjoyed hearing the narrator, Justin Smallbridge. Their performance and voice really brought this novel and scenes to life. It waw a perfect addition to the book. I did not want to press stop and wanted to continue to listen on.
I am going to give Devious Web four and a half stars. I believe that readers who love book genres of suspense and thriller fiction. I would be interested in reading more from Shelley Grandy in the future.
I received a audio version of Shelley Grandy's Devious Web from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
