Unpredictable Webs

By: Darlene Quinn

Narrated by: Karin Allers

Unpredictable Webs picks up the Webs series five years after Marnie is reunited with her birth family.

About to turn sixteen, Marnie Taylor is rebellious - fighting often with her mother, Ashleigh - and jealous of her more even-tempered and popular twin sister, Callie. Lonely, Marnie finds a compassionate listener in Brad, whom she meets online. Spinning a web of lies to throw her parents off, Marnie arranges an in-person meet-up with Brad. But she realizes too late that she has been targeted in a sinister scheme for ransom.

Quinn's vivid cast of characters returns in this high-tension, stand-alone sequel. Though their actions are plausible, none of them behaves as others might predict in this tale that discloses the darker behaviors people are capable of. Cougar Viviana De Mornay takes Chicago's fashion world and "Italian Stallion" Gino Cabello by storm. Tony Wainwright, who has paid his dues for a past crime and appears to have turned his life around, is catapulted to the top of the list of suspects.

PI Ross Pocino is on the scene with his surprising insights into criminal behavior, and Paige Toddman's mother, Helen, seems to grow younger every day. While some mothers can unintentionally do unspeakable harm to their children, Ashleigh's "steel magnolia" efforts to wrest her daughter from her captor redeem the sacredness of that role.

Modern take on a classic story

Stories about young girls getting lured into dangerous situations have been around for a while, but this story gives it a modern twist, and that's my favorite thing about it. Suspenseful, well-written and great narration make this story a good one. It's better to listen to this story when you can give it your full focus because there are details you won't want to miss.

A little slow moving

The story line progressed a little slow for me, but once it got going it was okay. I have to say, though, that I did not like the narrator's performance. Her voices were too fake and sounded forced.

Unpredictable

I am leaving a 4 star but a 3.75 is more like what I felt. I have listened to Webs of Fate and rated that book 4 and felt that was correct. This story was a little long in parts for me and I was just not as focused as I had been in the other book. That said I thought Karin Allers the narrator did another wonderful job of bringing this book to life. I was gifted this book by Audiobook BOOM and have left a honest review.

Kidnapped

This is the fourth book in the Web series and the third one that I have read and thoroughly enjoyed it. There was enough back story along with the fact that I had read two Web series previously that I didn't get confused on who was who. The characters in this close knit family are well written and likable. When one of the twins gets kidnapped the strength of the family and their friends standing together in a crisis is refreshing.

This is book 4 in the web series. I missed out on the first two books, but did listen to book 3. This gave me an advantage of having met a great number of the characters previously. This book picks up several years later when the twins are almost sixteen. That being said the listener gets to experience the growing pains and teenage angst that comes with it. The multiple families and businesses all have their own drama happening. There are plenty of twists and turns in this slow moving drama. Make a big pot of coffee and keep it close because it's hard to put this one down.




The narration was well done. The characters were well portrayed. Karin Allers does have a couple character voices that are a bit grating, but seem to fit the characters.
