About I Dream of Spiders:
The move to the remote town of Quarry Hill, Pennsylvania was supposed to help Griffin McGuire start over and forget the two people who betrayed him. As a paramedic at the local hospital, he would still have to interact with people, but the rest of the time he could hole himself away in the secluded cabin he was renting. It was perfect. For the first time in over a year, he felt like he could finally breathe.
That was until he met her.
A woman who doesn’t know her own name or why she was covered in blood and standing in the middle of the road when he found her. Griffin knows he should contact the police, but something is preventing him from going to the authorities. It doesn’t take long for him to realize that he was correct in trusting his instincts. Every time she falls asleep, she dreams and another memory is unlocked. Memories that are horrific and make him want to protect and hide her from the world.

EXCERPT
I can’t keep doing this to him. He has a
life and most likely a girlfriend. Tomorrow I will leave. I will ask to borrow
some money and get far away from him. He has done enough. I will make it on my
own. I get out of bed and creep down the hall to tell him my plan. I expect to
find him in the kitchen, maybe needing a late-night snack, not the bathroom.
Because why wouldn’t he have just used the master bath? The sound of heavy
breathing snaps up my attention and I look toward the hall bathroom. The light isn’t
on but I hear a barely audible groan on the other side of the cracked door. I
push it open and watch the man I have fantasized about for the past few days
working his cock with one hand while he steadies himself by holding onto the
sink. I can’t stop staring. He is so big, so aroused…and so am I. I want him. I
want to be the one making him groan and pant. Without warning, he turns and our
eyes lock.
“Leave, Clare.” I can’t move. “Go back to
bed,” he commands, his tone desperate. His hand stills and he releases his
cock. “Please,” he utters, his voice gruff, as if he is in pain.
My feet unlock from the imaginary vise they
have been in and I step toward him. We don’t break eye contact, even when I
grip his cock and stroke him from root to tip. I’m not sure if I have ever done
this before or if I am even doing it correctly, but the way his breathing
hitches and his eyes flutter tell me that I am doing something right. I pump
him harder, swirling the wet tip with the pad of my thumb. His hips sway and
his pants become more erratic. I am seconds away from dropping to my knees when
he suddenly grabs my wrist.
“We can’t,” he says, his eyes boring into
mine.
“Why? Is it because of Corinne?” I ask. He
blinks several times and shakes his head. “Your girlfriend?”
“I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“But I thought…”
“Corinne’s my sister.”
He doesn’t have a girlfriend. Which
means...
He pries my fingers from his cock and tucks
himself back into his pants. He moves past me and steps out of the bathroom.
Like a fool, I follow him. “Oh. I get it now. You just don’t want me,” I say.
He stops and faces me. “Is that what you
think? That I don’t want you?”
“You stopped me…you said we can’t…”
“We can’t because you belong to someone
else. You remembered him today, caught a glimpse of the man you admitted
loving, and I’ll be damned if he is who you are thinking of as I sink into you.
I won’t share you. I’m not built that way.”
I feel like complete shit. Griffin is doing
the noble thing, protecting my virtue and his heart. I am such a bitch.
Dylan is important to me. I care for him.
Love him. But in what way? If it is a romantic type of love, then why didn’t I
feel guilty when I touched Griffin? Or when I think about him taking me,
claiming me? Griffin turns and walks to the living room. I pathetically escape
to the bedroom. I am no longer afraid of the nightmares that could plague me if
I even manage to fall asleep tonight. No, what I fear are the dreams I may have
of the man who has just protected me from myself.
REVIEW
I Dream of Spiders was my first book by Elle Keating, but I'm sure it won't be my last. Keating delivers a wonderfully suspenseful novel within the pages of this book, one that not only draws you in, but captivates even further with every flip of the page.
Griffin's struggling to move on with his life after dealing with some major stuff, He needs to hide himself away for a little while to work through his pain and anger and figure out what he's going to do next, so his friends cabin in the middle of nowhere seems like the perfect place to be, until he almost runs over a woman in the road kicking off quite the mystery.
The story takes us on a wandering path, learning more about Griffin and what he's been through while also trying to figure out what our mystery woman has been through, who she's running from, and what happened to her. The story is written with quite the mysterious tone, but gives little details here and there, allowing you to piece things together without offering up the whole answer so keeping you hooked from page to page.
I loved the interspersed POVs in this book, because it really helped me dig deeper into the story and learn these characters more.
With it's mysterious edge, an undeniable connection and attraction between these two characters and a story that will keep you guessing, I Dream Of Spiders will keep you guessing as you wait to find out if our mystery woman ever learns the truth and what will become of her and Griffin if and when she does.
I was provided an early copy of this book but this review and all thoughts are mine.
