Have You Ever Made A Mistake That Keeps Coming Back To Haunt You?

On the run from her ex-boyfriend’s powerful criminal family, Sara Jones hides in Billings, Montana. When she receives a mysterious package containing a hidden spider, people around her start dying from poisonous spider bites and she fears that the family has found her. Is it possible to escape their reach?

˃˃˃ From its gut-grabbing prologue to its explosive conclusion, Goss’s debut story gives new meaning to the phrase “a blood-curdling adventure.”

Life takes an even more bizarre turn when Sara seems to be not only immune to the spider venom, but also surrounded by a sinister group of people using spiders to incapacitate their prey. Even her new boyfriend starts acting suspiciously. Who can she trust?

To make matters worse Sara's twenty-fifth birthday approaches, and her dark heritage begins to emerge. She is forced to make a life-or-death decision. And somehow, she must find a way to deal with the crime family.

˃˃˃ An Imaginative Fantasy-Thriller That Will Stimulate Your Senses

Goss immerses the reader in a gripping tale in which spiders are trained to kill. To some, the story may seem far-fetched, and cult members eating the flesh of cadavers may seem abhorrent, but Dracula set that table long ago. Tegen Cave is sure to thrill anyone predisposed to the fantasy genre.

I do not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing free books from publishers & authors. Therefore, I am under no obligation to write a positive review, only an honest one.

Warning: This book contains descriptive accounts of extremely graphic adult content (racial hatred), violence, or expletive language &/or uncensored sexually explicit material (minor/adult verbal, psychological, emotional, physical & sexual abuse, pornography, kidnapping/prostitution of a human trafficking (slavery) for sexual exploitation) which is only suitable for mature readers. It may be offensive or have potential adverse psychological effects on the reader. If you are especially sensitive to this type of material, it is strongly advised not to read any further.

An awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very professionally written crime thriller book. It was quite easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great description list of unique characters, settings, facts etc. to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. There is no doubt in my mind this is an extremely easy rating of 5 stars.

Reading novels about fantasy, romance which are shrouded in mystery is always an exciting time for me, I always find myself wanting more and more of the story and this book wasn't different. It was pulsating right from the start, filled with fun, adventure, mystery and so on. I've read it thrice already and I'm sure I'll still read it a few more times lol, each time I read it the experience is even better.

Whenever I read a good book there is nothing I love more than passing it on to others to read and enjoy, I'm not stingy lol. If you're contemplating getting this book, go ahead it's a really good book.
The author did a fantastic job on this book, the writing was of a high literary quality and the characters can be related with, he made it so realistic which is one of the reasons I really enjoyed reading this book, right from the first page the pace of the book was steadily built and the pace and tempo increased as it went on, it got to a point I was so hooked I couldn't stop till I finished reading it. An all round complete and interesting book about fantasy, romance and mystery which I strongly recommend and I'll proudly give four out of five stars.

Sara Jones is on the run. She’s discovered her boyfriend, Conner, is part of a nefarious crime family – the Crossett’s - who deal in human trafficking, pornography, and murder. She has in her possession a ledger which documents these illegal acts and knows that if they find her, her life won’t be worth a plug nickel. She leaves with no specific destination in mind, but when she boards a bus leaving Houston, she, curiously, meets an elderly women who tells her about a wonderful place – Billings, Montana and Sara decides to make that her final stop. She rents a room at the Towne Hotel and meets another visitor – Brett, a petroleum engineer, who says he is there on business. They strike up a friendship and Sara, who has secured a job at an accounting firm, decides to look for an apartment. Everything seems to be going smoothly until she meets with a real estate agent in her room who mysteriously succumbs to a deadly spider bite. Paramedics are summoned to take the agent away, but she never arrives at any hospital. Where did they take her? And, why?

Thus, begins Sara’s journey into a world populated by deadly spiders and a possible cult surrounding them. Who can she trust? Is Brett really just a businessman or is he something more? Does her ex-boyfriend, Conner, really love her or is he just trying to get his hands on the incriminating evidence she took when she ran? And, who is the stranger with the dark, piercing eyes that Sara finds to be oddly familiar?

The Tegen Cave by Inge-Lise Goss is a roller-coaster ride of a novel. Just when you think you have things figured out, author Goss tosses another monkey-wrench into the mix, leaving the reader begging for more. A real page-turner peopled with interesting and complex characters, The Tegen Cave is highly recommended for lovers of paranormal mystery/thrillers, supernatural suspense, and dark fiction.

Let me start off by saying if you are not a fan of spiders this book is not going to be your cup of tea. I truly fell into this story, it has a very unique story line and characters. Sara realizes her boyfriend, Conner, is not everything she thought he was. While traveling after leaving him she meets Brett. Brett introduces her into a whole new world, one that's packed full of spiders. I usually don't read book descriptions and am glad when I get a rare gem like this one. It will break up the monotony of your reading library. Yes it has romance, danger and paranormal beings, but boy are they unique in this book!! Great read, I will be looking forward to more books by this author.

Now, I am terrified of spiders. Can't stand them. But don't let this put you off. I simply glided over the word and ignored it. Having said that I really wish she had chosen a bug, any bug but that one. But I can honestly say I absolutely loved this book.
The storyline was like nothing I have ever read before. It was fantastic. The story and the characters were again, incredibly well written. There were no editing mistakes that I could see and no spelling or words missing etc.
I fell in love with the characters. I was willing her to leave Connor and stay with Brett then it all went topsy turvy. I twas unbelievable. For me a good book is one that you just don't want to put down, and trust me when I say I really hated working while I was reading this book. Major inconvenience.
it has to be said I would be very surprised if a big publisher didn't pick this book up because it really does deserve it.
Read this book, gloss over the spidery bit if you don't like them, but it is fantastic and a must read. I cannot wait until the next in the series.

4.0 out of 5 stars An Intriguing Read!

A friend recommended this book, so I thought I would give it a try.

Sara Jones is a wonderful character, who is on the run from her boyfriend's family. I really liked her attitude, but wanted to shake some sense into her too, as she made a few questionable decisions. However, it's her immunity to a venomous spider that has me intrigued.

This is an unusual horror/suspense that kept me hooked from the first page! The story is told from Sara's point of view and is a roller coaster ride of suspense and mystery. There is also a bit of horror in the form of spiders. Luckily, I am not squeamish about spiders. In fact, I rather admire them; they perform an important role in the food chain. If there were no spiders, we would be totally overrun by insects!
The author of this book has used arachnids to great effect. The suspense and mystery surrounding these deadly foes was masterfully written. There are several twists and turns in the story, which kept me guessing, and a fair few surprises too. However, there are a few issues I have with the storyline. The paranormal aspect was intriguing, but I was a bit disappointed with the lack of detail of the transformation process, and what it actually means to be a Tegan for Sara personally. I was also a bit confused with Sara's actions - running from her boyfriend, but then going back with him, even though the rest of his family didn't like her - and also having a new boyfriend at the same time. Another issue I had was the revenge/vigilante aspect. I am not a fan of this type of action whether you are a real person, or a character in a book. However, since the people involved were scumbags of the first order, I suppose I can see why though! The ending was satisfying and left me happy.

Inge-Lise Goss has written an intriguing horror full of mystery and suspense. I am curious to see what this author comes up with in the future.

I do not recommend this book to younger readers due to some violence and scenes of a sensual nature that, although are not explicit, are rather hot, and to readers who have arachnophobia or of a nervous disposition. However, I recommend this book if you love horror/suspense genres. - Lynn Worton

5.0 out of 5 stars Paranormal, suspense story with a lot of spiders

I received a copy of this book from the author.

Right from the prologue this story had me captured. I found myself wondering what was going on with the blue-eyed man and what spiders have got to do with it all.

This is not a spoiler alert but a spider alert. If you don’t like them and even the word sends you in a spin then this book is not for you.

That would be a great shame as you’d be missing out on an amazing book that is full of intrigue.

Sara Jones is on the run from her boyfriend and his criminal family.

This book is so well written with such good descriptions of the places and events that I could be a fly on the wall watching what is happening.

Having read the book, I now am looking forward to the next in the series. I want to find out what happens to Sara and whether she has managed to rid herself of Conner and his family.
