You have spider legs. You have fangs and venom. And you've never thought your own obscurity odd?
Seventeen-year-old Spinneretta Warren doesn't just have a bizarre name. She's got eight spider legs to back it up, along with fangs, venom, and a pair of siblings as unusual as she is. But apart from the odd stare, nobody in Grantwood, California seems to care that Spinneretta and her family are human-spider hybrids.
But when her ninth cousin (and self-proclaimed magician) Mark shows up at their door, Spinneretta finds herself falling head over heels into the mysteries of the Warren family. Convinced that something sinister is moving behind the scenes in Grantwood, Mark begins investigating the truth of the spider children's origins. But Spinneretta is skeptical there's any great secret to be found. Besides, she's perfectly happy with her mundane life, hanging out with her friends and dreaming about an internship at the Golmont Corporation.
That is, until Spinneretta's younger sister is nearly kidnapped and the Warrens' lives take a sharp turn for the extraordinary.
With Mark intent on exposing the dark secrets surrounding Grantwood, and an obscure legend that's just a bit too compelling to ignore, Spinneretta finds herself forced to face a web of lies that has surrounded her family for decades.
A slow-burn upper YA urban science fantasy epic for fans of conspiracies, cosmic horror, and cute spider girls who just want to live a normal life.
