I picked up A Tangled Web by Ingrid McLaughin Taylor and I was not able to put it down until I got to the end. Even then I couldn't get it out of my mind. Ingrid has a way of making you want more. The idea of meeting someone on the internet and leaving all to meet them was something too close to home. I remember considering doing that myself at one time. Loneliness grabs you and you don't stop to consider that behind the well speaking christian may be something less than perfect. I could relate very well with April Stover. Kenny Colt, her so called christian man, was a character that made your skin crawl and you were never sure of the outcome even when April did get a second chance at love. Ingrid McLaughin Taylor is a fine writer and I highly recommend her books to anyone. She writes the kind of books I have been hoping to read. Full of suspense but not gore. Full of promising excitement and intrigue. Captivating tension in every chapter.
Suspense That Will Leave You Sleepless

A Tangled Web By Ingrid McLaughlin Taylor ISBN 1-60145-030-3 978-160145-030-2 I just closed the cover on a wild ride. A Tangled Web by Ingrid McLaughlin Taylor started out as a pleasant Sunday afternoon read. I worried about a woman dumping her life to chase after an overtly religious man whom she met in an internet chat room. Maybe I watched too many Judge Judy shows to have this sit comfortably with me. But, it seemed okay, not my kind of story, but okay. Once the starry-eyed April Stover arrived at the Oakwood community soon to be her home and she discovered Kenny Colt was not exactly all he said he was, April was determined to make the best of her situation until she realized what a psychopathic monster she had fallen prey to. That is just the beginning of this roller coaster ride of terror for April. Just when you think she's on the road to happiness and a secure future Kenny Colt hits your panic button again. Taylor grabs you, twists you, and spins you around in this fast paced, gut wrenching read. If she didn't pause for a few romantic interludes and conversations with her close friends Max and Patti, you would be exhausted before you extricated yourself from A Tangled Web. Taylor's masterful twist of the screws, suspense dappled with a young woman's search for true love as she matures from shy violet to independent woman makes this book a must read. By the time you have decided it's a soft Christian love story, you will not be able to put the book down until you finish it. Even while things on the surface seem to be running smoothly and April seems to have found what she has longed for, you feel the undertow, you feel a certain current pulling you under for the third time--you know it isn't over. You just are not prepared for what will happen next. Move over Stephen King, Ingrid McLaughlin Taylor has just made a bid for your crown, and she has given you her first run for the money. A non-stop thriller/chiller of a read I highly recommend. Superb job from a new author you'll want to watch for in the future. I predict she'll make a name for herself in the suspense/thriller genre very soon.
