IN SERENA'S WEB

Serena Jameson, beautiful, brilliant, and determined, has her eye on handsome industrialist Brian Ashford. When Serena's life is in danger, Brian is drafted by Serena's father, a genius inventor, to take her across the country until he can identify who is behind the threat. The plotline is not rescued by Emily Zeller's narration. Zeller's childlike and often-rushed portrayal of Serena is more irritating than entertaining. Also, there’s little differentiation between Serena and hero Brian, who isn't very heroic and appears to be more the good friend than the romantic interest throughout most of the book.
