Ace of Spiders

By Stefan Mohamed

Stanly is frustrated. Having set himself up as London’s protector, he’s finding that the everyday practicalities of superheroism are challenging at best, and downright tedious at worst. So it’s almost a relief when an attempt is made on his life and Stanly finds himself rushing headlong into a twisted adventure, with enemies new and old coming out of the woodwork. However, even with his friends and his ever-increasing power behind him, he may have bitten off more than he can chew this time. The monsters are coming … and nothing will ever be the same!

Reviews for Ace of Spiders

[booksonshelves · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

After discovering his superpowers at the age of 16, Stanly is now frustrated at the reality of day-to-day living, even for someone who can fly there’s not a lot happening and he craves adventure and excitement. Oh my does he get some! Old enemies mix with new enemies mix with Stanly’s own shortcomings and frustrations to create an explosive mix of plot twists and revelations that had me gasping in shock, or running to hide behind the sofa.I reluctantly read the last few chapters, not wanting to leave the Bitter Sixteen world so soon, not wanting the ending I could see was coming. At the last few lines I felt like I was abandoning Stanly to an uncertain future. The strength of the book lies, not only in Stanly’s immensely likeable personality despite his failings, but in Stefan Mohamed’s ability to draw you in to a complex and fast paced but entirely believable world of monsters, superpowers, and sarcastic teenagers.If you haven’t read Bitter Sixteen, do it, and then grab Ace of Spiders off the shelf as quickly as you can – you won’t regret it.
