The Hounds of Zeus MC #5

The Spyder's Web

Rate this book
He's a Gryphon with a scarred heart. She’s a successful florist who’s being targeted. When their pasts collide, will either one survive?

Jude “Spyder” Sterling puts on a good front, but he uses humor to hide his pain. When he meets a cute female at Dominion, the BDSM club he frequents, Jude feels he’s found his mate. But someone is targeting his sweet florist, and it’s all he can do to keep her safe.

Charlotte Fanning has everything she ever dreamed of. When she meets a biker who’s into rope play, Charlotte realizes she could have even more. Before their first date, someone comes after Charlotte, and she finds Jude is so much more than tattoos and long hair. He’s a protector with a heart of gold and some scary-ass friends. And secrets. But he’s not the only one.

Charlotte is perfect for Jude. Or so he thought. When the past catches up to him, he can’t shake the feeling Charlotte’s presence at the club was no coincidence. As a Hound of Zeus, he took a vow to protect humans. But who’s going to protect him?

The Spyder’s Web is written to be read as a standalone, but many readers prefer to read the series in order. The Hounds of Zeus MC is a spin-off/crossover of The Stone Society Series and might contain spoilers.

About the author

Faith Gibson

51 books577 followers
Faith Gibson's love of books started early on. So much so that she decided to write her own stories. When a college professor told her she had a gift, she took him at his word and put pen to paper (because back then, there were no computers. Shh, we don't mention her age.)

Her love of all things paranormal mixed with crazy dreams led to her first series, The Stone Society, about Gargoyle shifters in search of their mates while protecting humanity from unhinged beasts known as The Unholy. The Hounds of Zeus MC series was born from one of their own being a mate of a Gargoyle. The Rebel Moon Shifters are the next generation, all the kids from the first two series.

Faith also abbles in MM worlds and contemporary suspense, but her first and forever love is fantasy.

When Faith isn’t hard at work on her next story, she can be found reading, cooking, playing in the dirt (planting stuff) or playing with her staffy pup, all while listening to hard rock music.

This couple could not have been a better match.
I loved ever second of it. There was tragedy in both of their past.
They endeared hardships in the past but in the end it was how things were suppose to go.
Excellent story.

The Spyder's Web ( The Hounds of Zeus Book MC 5) by Faith Gibson.  This is the story of Jude (Spyder) Sterling. A soul who has been tormented by the murder of his sister. Even after all this time the sound of a gun causes a panic attack. With the club still out trying to find the Ministry and the mercenary work Jude needs to work through his issue. Charlotte is worried about her cousin. After a tragedy her cousin has never been the same and now with this strange guy in her life, Charlotte is really concerned.  Following the guy she finds her and her friend at a BDSM club. Charlotte and Jude's path cross. He is a Shibari master and during one of his scenes he catches the eye of Charlotte. With an instant attraction, Charlotte ends up reaching out to him when it looks like she has had a break in. From their the story takes off.  Another good story from this author. She never disappoints. Her character development is par none. People I don't care about, I end up falling in love with by the last page. We the readers were also treated to several added twist in this story.  Didn't see that coming. All I can think about is another spin off book series.  Yay!!!!!! I can get more of this author. I hope they are her next book. You will have to read this book in order to know who they are. You will know them when you read it. Enjoy! A 4 star read for me.

Spyder and Charlotte

Spyder and two other Hounds are Masters at a BDSM club. Not my thing, but the book isn't getting down and dirty in it either. It starts with Charlotte trying to help her cousin who has a history of picking bad boyfriends. She thinks Elise has done it again, and is tailing the guy to find out. What she finds is the club. Not good for ultra religious Elise. Or the fact the guy's got a wife and 2 kids. But the plot thickens. Somebody starts stalking Charlotte. Breaks in her apartment and business. Lucky for her, she caught Spyder's eye at the club and swapped phone#s. And she used it when she got broken into. She has Hound protection when she's run off the road and the idiot with the gun shows up. Other than what happened at the club, is all the Ministry again. Abraham this time. There is back story for Charlotte's family tied into the whole thing too. Great read.

Charlotte has a good business going but she is trying 2 help her cousin whether she likes it or not. Her and her best friend show up after following this asshole and finds out it's a strip club but it's a very unique place cause it's bdsm 2 with different areas of teaching diff things. But when the asshole in question starts shit with her and softer comes 2 the rescue. After things start going strangely they find out that someone is trying 2 kill her but they will protect her no matter what. There's a few surprises about himself and her best friend but in the end it all works out and she will do everything until she realizes just who is spider and her connection 2 her past. That brings them either closer 2get her or apart. Which one works better 4 them? It is awesome 2 find out asap!!

This is Jude's story. He has been haunted by his sister's murder for years unable to quell his anger or put her to rest. Working with the Hounds has been his saving grace as they really understand him. He meets the one and she is absolutely perfect for him and fits well with the women of the Hounds. This is an excellent story. Ms. Gibson had done a terrific job with this story and the entire series. In this story she shows the beauty of Shibari. The series is well worth a read (or two).

Faith Gibson adds book 5, The Spyder’s Web, to her amazing Hounds of Zeus MC series.

Gibson has a talent for adding heart to, what is usually, a rough group of humans. Of course, these are not!

I have enjoyably read each of the books in this series.
Start with Waging War!

You can read this by itself but you will truly understand what a fabulous author Faith is by starting the series and following it all the way through. So much pleasure. You will get tied up in it ;)

Love the title and it is just a tease

I loved this book. This time it is not a Lazlo but one of the other hounds. Spyders past is a common theme currently in the 🇺🇸. When a girl who peaks his interest runs into a little trouble he not only does he realize he needs help. He also realizes he needs this adventurous, kind, brave and fun loving woman to complete his world. They both have obstacles to over come but they do get their HEA in the end. I cannot wait for the next book.

Beautiful

It seems odd to call a tough MC biker, beautiful, but that is exactly who Spyder/Jude is. He is dedicated to those he loves and is not afraid to show it.
The protection of Charlotte is astounding from the very beginning.
He is part of the BDSM lifestyle with his shibari. I really enjoyed reading this book. It made my crave my own "Jude".
This book is on the lighter side of the BDSM scale so I believe that a lot of people will fall for this main character.

Fantastic!!

I have loved every book in this series! Jude's trauma from his sister's death, Charlotte's immense loss in life. These two paid their dues and deserved their HEA. I can't wait to see how these couple's families grow while dodging the Ministry and navigating all the adventures yet to come their way!

Couldn't connect.

I'm a huge Faith Gibson fan. Usually her stories pull me right in. I struggled with this one a bit. And not for the BDSM storyline. Just couldn't connect with Spyder or Charlotte. The story felt rushed and incomplete. This will not stop my reading her other books though. I'll continue to support her work

Faith Gibson does shifters like no other! From the Stone Society to the Hounds of Zeus, the unique stories keep you reading late into the night, or neglecting pesky things like work or house cleaning. This book hints that there may be other shifter series to come and I'm so ready for it!

The Spyder's Web

This book keeps you on tenterhooks because you can't figure out who it is that is trying to kill Charlotte. There are little secrets and big secrets slowly revealed that keep you saying " just one more chapter."
I would recommend this book to those who appreciate a little spice with their mystery.

So good, I couldn't put it down. Loved the story, the tortured soul of Jude with the bright, light of Charlotte, great combination. Quite the interesting twists in the middle of the book, will follow those for the next few books I'm sure. Had to look up some new terms, all good, loved the interactions with all the extenuating cast of characters. Really well written.

Faith never ceases to amaze me with her talent of intertwining the grit with beauty. Like all her books it pulls you in and you can’t put it down. If you haven’t read her other series you must! She has an uncanny way of pulling you in so you can’t let go. A must read!

Loved this book

This is a great addition to a great series. Someone is trying to kill Charlotte. She has no idea who and turns to Jude for help. Jude knows that Charlotte is the mate he has been looking for and will do anything to ensure she is safe. A must read.

Great action and romance

The story is incredibly detailed. You may be a bit lost if you read as a stand- alone. It’s best to read with the series. Lots of surprises and mystery. Great chemistry between the characters. Overall a great read.

A haunting paranormal romance read

Charlotte, a florist, calls Spyder, a Hounds of Zeus MC elite member, when she was gathering information on her cousin’s boyfriend. As the story progresses danger creates a call for help, their connection burns brightly, and secrets kept could break them before enemies do. The Spyder’s Web by Faith Gibson is a haunting paranormal romance read with great characters, hidden enemies, and tangled pasts. There are plenty of Hounds left to see find their mates and I can’t wait to see them fall.

I received a free copy of the book from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

Jude & Charlie

I fell in love with these two very quickly. What a great couple they make. I very much like their dynamic and how they treat each. He is so loving and caring and through their endeavors I liked how you meet old and new characters alike. Thumbs up and looking forward to the next book.

Very well written, nicely edited and nice flow to the story.
