Curse of Arachnaman follows the events in the first three books in the Masks series. Eric is settling down into a near-normal existence. He’s learning to cope with a different kind of closet -- being kept from talking freely about his relationship with Calais and the other superheroes -- as well as an increasingly protective mother, his sister’s new squeaky-clean boyfriend, and a bingo-obsessed best friend.
Eric also learns that, sometimes, being an asset to the forces of good means simply being himself. In the meantime, Vintage City is under siege from a new threat, one which is proving to be much more dangerous than all of the other supervillains the heroes have faced combined. Good people find themselves at the mercy of an angry lunatic who will stop at nothing to purge the city of what he sees to be undesirable elements.

I'm glad to see Thorne revisiting his "Masks" crowd. Things are going much better between Eric and Peter. Eric is finding a place among the heroes even though he doesn't have any super powers himself. A new villain rises, of course, and the team has to fight to protect the poor, innocent citizens from Arachnaman. If you like the "Masks" trilogy, you'll like this one, too. It's a little more dark as far as the villain goes than the previous ones, but still extremely entertaining. Highly recommend it to the YA audience.Product details

Curse of Arachnaman eBook Hayden Thorne Reviews
Little superheroes are growing... but they have still to respect curfew and take out the garbage.
After last books adventures, Eric is trying to have a normal life, at least as normal it can be if your boyfriend is a superhero. The fact that Eric is gay is not part of the problem, his family is accepting him and he is growing up self-confident and loved... the main problem is that Peter, the boyfriend, want to "wait" for the right moment, and Eric is tired to do his own laundry to hide all those towels...
While in the previous three books Eric had to grow pretty fast and beforehand, here he is almost going back; his mother is pretty vigil, he has no pocket money to spend as he wants and he basically has to study since his own boyfriend doesn't want to go out during the week and also in the weekend he is pretty busy. Basically Eric has to behave as a good boy since he has no way to be bad, even if he would like much so.
In this story, Eric is not directly involved in all the superhero adventures of his friends, and I think that he is very much bored; he searches in any way to "waste" time, he even arrives to buy a journal, a real paper and ink journal, believing that he will have a lot of things to write, and discovering that, in the end, is life is pretty ordinary, and that he prefers to spend time fantasizing about his boyfriend. He also tries to find a job in the local LGBT bookstore, again, I think more to find a way to spend his time than for a real need of money; he even fancies the idea to do a supporting action for the small business, to soon realize that he is only a kid, not a superhero, and as a kid he prefers to enjoy his carefree way of life.
I really enjoy all the attempt of Eric to convince Peter that it was time for them to loose their virginity, and Peter apparently dullness, that I instead think is hiding his firm belief that they are still too young. As Eric in the previous book rushed beforehand in his search of adventure, now he is doing it again with their sexuality; Peter understands that and he is able to stop Eric when it's time, without letting him understand that he is doing so. After all, Eric has the coolest boyfriend of the school, and by league, he is so himself.
Curse of Arachnaman has less the "fantasy" feeling of the previous books (something that in the third book was pretty heavy) and it's more a sweet coming of age story about two young boys in love.
I thought it was the last in the series, but fortunately it's not.
In this installment, Eric is returning to his normal life after the ordeal with The Trill. He has a lot of homework to do before going to school again, and he spends a lot of time alone, since he receives his education by the Sentries and he rarely meets his friends. His superhero boyfriend and friends are always out and about saving Vintage City. Eric fights with his mom for some extra time with Peter and with his sister, because of her prospective boyfriend, who Eric finds creepy and old-fashioned.
The plot touched many things and it's less about the superhero action and more about Eric, a sort of summary of everything which transpired before Eric's feelings of inadequacy but also his trying to remedy to his lacking social skills; his loneliness, but his looking for a job or for something to do, while not holding this against his friends; his problems with homework, but finding the will to complete his tests. It's as if we're seeing him grow up - even in his horniness - with that peculiar illusion of teenagers who think everything revolves around them.
The best quality of this series is that it takes place in a fantasy world, but it's extremely grounded because it chooses to let us see it through the eyes of an ordinary boy. Eric's struggles feel real. It helps that he's so likable and he's incredibly funny.
Very enjoyable.
