A review by bookbowerbird
The Spider and Her Demons by sydney khoo

3.0

This had plenty going for it - urban fantasy in unvarnished western Sydney, a second gen immigrant who’s half girl, part spider[demon], all heart. Another girl with alexithymia and… a whole lot of something else. A lot of fighting your figurative demons when you have to mask your true self and when the way your adults love you is not the way you hoped they’d show it.

But then there was never any backstory nor plot progression beyond the two girls’s found friendship. Maybe there’s going to be the usual YA sequel, idk, but there wasn’t enough in this segment for me.

Cute cover though! :)
