Unpredictable Webs: Book 4 of the Webs Series

Hot Web Series 'Wade's World' Enters Season Two with Unexpected

Marnie is rebellious and seeks friendship with a young man on the internet. She plans to sneak out and meet him at a coffee shop while with her family at an event held at the Palmer House Hotel downtown Chicago. Unfortunately, it becomes a case of mistaken identity and her sister Callie becomes the victim of a kidnapping by a monstrous couple and held captive for ransom on an old, dilapidated boat where she meets the young boy who has no idea what is happening to either of them. Now, Marnie will do whatever it takes to save her sister. I haven't read any of the other three previous books in the "Webs" Series--this was my introduction, but after reading this I wouldn't mind backtracking and reading the others.

This novel has a lot of chapters, but they are short and it is easy to find a place to stop so you can do normal daily activities, which I appreciated. From the beginning the story is really interesting and not like other novels. There is dimension and depth to the plot even at the first chapter.

I found that I I'm happy! I found that I fell in love with these characters effortlessly and it made me want to stick around to find out what happened with them. The mother in this story has real reactions.

She isn't a fluff character that seems to say "okay" and just accept everything at face value. I love it when characters speak more through their actions and reactions than they do through miles of dialogue. This author has done a brilliant job making you believe that what you are reading has actually happened. There is very little sexual innuendo in this book and the scenes aren't graphic in the slightest.

I thought it was wonderful that there were no sidelines into extreme sex that detracted from the story. It really bothers me when that happens and it doesn't seem to fit into the pace or plot of the story. This author kept her focus from the beginning and never shifted gears unexpectedly. The mystery element of this book was done supremely well. You can guess, but you can't quite grasp the entire story until the end.

The family bands together through drama and trauma and is really the heart of the story. I would recommend this book to anyone, a very good, very surprising read. Jan 18, Cathleen rated it really liked it. Marnie Taylor, the almost sixteen year old rebellious twin to Callie, had been abducted shortly after birth. At eight she is reunited with her birth family, but holds such strong ties to the woman she called mom.

Ashleigh and Conrad Taylor, the birth parents, wanting to be considerate to Marnie and the woman who cared and loved her for eight years allow liberal visitation. The wrong twin is kidnapped and from this point the reader is introduced to an interesting cast of characters. What I enjoyed the most is the short chapters. It was easy for me to finish a chapter and have a stopping point when I needed one. The plot and characters were varied and well created.

I plan on reading the first book in the series so I have the background behind some of the characters that are brought back in the second book. How can a hostile takeover of a department store be made into an interesting novel? This author has done her research well. She presents her characters with depth and passion. However, although there is passion, there is not the blatant sexuality that is often seen in daytime drama.

The sexual attractions are there in places, but are described as feelings. The actual sex is not graphically portrayed. This makes reading very easy for busy readers who have only small snatches of time available.

The novel is based on a true story and, as I said, the author has done her research well. I would recommend this book to those who like continuing dramas that are not filled with graphic sexual detail, but contain mystery, intrigue and satisfying endings. Listening on the edge of your seat! Unpredictable Webs audio is like listening on the edge of your seat, while speeding down the road breaking the speed limit. I enjoyed how skillfully Darlene takes readers and listeners from the main plot and manages to engross us in the many well balanced subplots leavin Listening on the edge of your seat!

I think this is my favorite book in the Web Series. The story is a fusion of suspense, family relationships, and retail business complications, with some well thought out plot twists and unpredictable outcomes. The narrator Karin Aller picks up verbal personality traits with skill allowing the listener to easily distinguish one character from another. If you have read any of the books in the Web Series, you know they are difficult to put down. I often delayed pushing the off button. Darlene Quinn takes us on an unpredictable journey as her twin daughter Marnie, who was kidnapped at birth is about to be kidnapped again.

At least that is the kidnappers plan. Entrenched in the high stakes and glamour of the fashion industry, Ashleigh Taylor must weave her way around saving not only her relationship with her daughter, but her entire family. The tale Darlene Quinn tells is beautifully written and reaches into the heart of families and their relationships with one another on many Darlene Quinn takes us on an unpredictable journey as her twin daughter Marnie, who was kidnapped at birth is about to be kidnapped again. The tale Darlene Quinn tells is beautifully written and reaches into the heart of families and their relationships with one another on many levels.

Her characters come alive on the page filled with hopes, desires and fears. My personal favorite character is Helen, an older woman who is just starting her journey into Alzheimer's. Helen keeps everyone on their toes as she wants to be a younger woman in dress and actions despite her age. I could identify with Helen. I want to still be young as well. I enjoyed every minute of it. This is the fourth book in the Web series and even though this is my first book of Darlene Quinn I really enjoyed it.

There was enough back story that I didn't get confused on who was who, and enough of a back story that I know I want to get the other books. The characters are well written and likable. I think what I liked the most was that the family was close.

Even though Marnie wants to live with her other family in Chicago and gets rebellious it is never malicious or hateful. When one of the This is the fourth book in the Web series and even though this is my first book of Darlene Quinn I really enjoyed it. When one of the twins gets kidnapped the strength of the family and their friends really shine through. It is refreshing to read of a family that stands together in a crisis and kids who truly love their parents. Darlene Quinn does it again! Delightfully wicked and exciting-those pages just keep turning! I felt like I had sat down to an exceptional meal prepared by a trusted celebrity chef!

Quinn has served up tried and true characters and stirred in some new faces to entice and entertain. A recipe for success. Her creation weaves exotic flavors together ranging from simple sweetness to vivid tartness - just right for an "unpredictable" serving of love, hate, crime and redemption. Each page builds on surpr Darlene Quinn does it again! Each page builds on surprise and suspense pleasing the reader's palate and leaving us full and satisfied.

I can hardly wait for your next course! Try it, you will like it! Really enjoyed this book from beginning to end, especially the "like" action of this drama. The set-up and action flow seamlessly throughout the narrative; and it is clear that Quinn has mastered the psychology and voice of each character. Liked the web references - each time a character tugs on that web, it reverberates with other characters in "unpredictable" ways. Liked the juxtaposition of the characters' glamorous lives vs the gritty underlying issues they have to face.

I had serious issues with rating this book. On some levels I felt it needed to be held around the four star mark, but on other ones I felt it required one.

After Several days, my Cable box was full, but I felt Inspired.

Oct 18, DubaiReader rated it it was ok Shelves: I finish this narrative with a sigh of relief, and while I hate leaving a negative review, my honest response to this audiobook was that it was hugely irritating to listen to on several fronts. Firstly, the narrator had a really annoying voice and was totally unable to do male voices, turning them into an awful screech. Secondly, the book itself was written in third person, but the characters kept announcing what they were thinking, which really didn't work for me. Either a book is in Irritating.

Either a book is in first person, or it isn't. In brief, a large department store has taken over an old favourite and split the loyalties of the stores' shoppers. Viviana De Mornay has moved her up-market clothing brand from one store to the umbrella organisation, and she has both a closing sale and a grand opening. Marnie Taylor, the kidnapped twin who we met in Twisted Webs, is now living with her true family, although she still has strong attachments to Erica, her 'mother' until she was eight.

She suddenly has an identical twin and a younger sister, as well as a life of luxury, after being brought up in a trailer park. Her wealth, however, makes her a target for another kidnapping and the frightening issue of on-line grooming is tackled. The kidnapping itself is over dramatised, along with a lot of the aforementioned expression of thoughts by a large number of the characters involved. Although this is the fourth book in the Webs series, I believe it is actually the second featuring this particular cast of characters and provides a sequel to book 2 in the series, Twisted Webs.

I found the cast of thousands in Twisted Webs, very confusing, and had to create a 'family tree' to work out who was who and how everyone was interrelated. I would imagine this would be quite a problem if you were coming to this book without having read the prequel.

I would therefore suggest that before deciding against this book, based on my review, prospective readers take a look at other reviews and make their own judgments. I promised to listen to this audiobook and leave an unbiased review, this I have done. Thanks to the publishers, the author and the narrator, for my audiobook copy. Jan 07, Ian Wood added it.

Unpredictable Webs (official trailer)

I rated this novel warty. After crashing and burning in an earlier novel in this series, I decided just to get to the actual story I'm supposed to be reading - which is this one. I was desperately hoping this would actually have entertainm This is the complete review as it appears at my blog devoted to reading, writing no 'rithmatic! In this novel, which is, unfortunately peopled with some characters from earlier novels in the series, fifteen-year-old Marnie Taylor hooks up online with "Brad" who turns out to be not Brad and solely interested in kidnapping and ransom - and it's not even the first kidnapping in the family's history.

See a Problem?

This ought to have promised a laugh if nothing else, but since it was pretty much like the previous one I read, it wasn't be much of anything else, I'm sorry to say. My problem with Quinn in this novel is summarized perfectly on p28, in the first paragraph in chapter 6: He's the epitome of stylish perfection.

There's little chance that young man is straight. How many kinds of wrong wrong wrong can you squeeze into seven lines? First comes the shameless and tediously snobbish name-dropping which to be fair isn't quite as bad here as it was earlier , then follows the insult to the Maud Frizon shoes which the name-dropping is supposedly championing! If they hurt her feet, why is she wearing them? Granted you can ascribe that one to the sad character represented by Viviana De Mornay, but even that aside Quinn manages to name-drop twice and then sequentially insult those same names!

We know this because a sentence including the clause "Viviana sighed and kicked off her pumps" would have been perfectly fine. Unpredictable Webs is, predictably, another waste of time given my poor experience with one of its predecessors. The predictably dishonest book blurb puts the online interaction and subsequent kidnapping of Marnie front and center, but after pages, nothing had happened save the shallow interactions of superficial characters who were already nauseatingly encountered in Webs of Power.

They offered me nothing to care for. Worse than this, we're never actually introduced to Marnie in any meaningful sense. I would therefore suggest that before deciding against this book, based on my review, prospective readers take a look at other reviews and make their own judgments. I promised to listen to this audiobook and leave an unbiased review, this I have done. Thanks to the publishers, the author and the narrator, for my audiobook copy. 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. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. I am leaving a 4 star but a 3. 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. 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. Is there anything you would change about this book?

Did Unpredictable Webs inspire you to do anything? No, the whiny, insolent Marnie drove me crazy. If you love lies, half-truths, romantic teases, twists and turns, and age-old stereotypes.. Darlene Quinn 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.

Publisher's Summary

The idea for the web series came to Teagen when he thought of portraying people of color in a classier light. The mainstream portrayal of ratchet reality shows and fist fights has been overdone, and Teagen thought of bringing some real diversity into the scene. Angela played by Christina M.
