After suffering a tragedy no man should endure, Walter Conrad has given away everything and lost everything he once prized. He gets through each day the best way he knows how, and many characters come and go throughout Terminally Human that are all tied together, in the end, to Walter. Jason Reinders has dug deep into the mind of a man who had his priorities rearranged and found out all too late that he was wrong. One mistake cost him everything.

Walter is a homeless man who was a successful CEO and had enjoyed luxury money could buy. Throughout the narrative, readers learn through flashbacks about Walter’s life before he was homeless when he lived with his wife and daughter. The dichotomy of Walter’s then and now personas is striking, and readers will wish they could reach through the book and shake Walter to convince him that he’s making the incorrect choices in life.

A young girl is murdered, and a crazy cat lady, Ms. Rowe, entertains her amused neighbors with her leashed felines. Hank and Benny are scam artists that find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation, one of them succumbing to retaliation in the process. Billy is Walter’s former employer whom he fired in the heat of the moment. Billy’s home life isn’t anything he would wish on anyone, and his issues with Walter send him on a rampage, bringing revenge to Walter in a terrifying manner.

Terminally Human displays the intricate details of the life of a homeless man who finds meaning in the simplicity of living off of the streets. In his mind, he has a place to sleep, he is warm, and for the most part he can find food. Jason Reinders shows periods of Walter’s own troubled childhood and what made him the man he became in adulthood, proving that he wasn’t always the selfish man he became. 

The psyche is on display in this heart-wrenching, suspenseful novel filled with love, loss, and revenge, following multiple characters on a journey that all come together in the end in various situations. Jason’s ability to hold them together and allow the connection to blossom is expert, and the dramatic plot is simply a backdrop to his storytelling ability. His imagery and buildup are just enough to get the reader’s blood pumping in preparation for the intense action. Terminally Human is an in-depth novel to which everyone can relate.

A woman’s past haunts her for her entire adult life, and she attempts to avenge the violence bestowed on her in Coney Island at the hands of Charles. His violent reaction to unwanted news about a pregnancy sets the course for Grace’s life as she leaves broken families behind in the early 1900s, avenging her way from one husband to the next carrying a barren body and soul. Spider Webs chronicles the journey of a few men who seek revenge on the woman who stole their loved ones decades earlier. Jason Reinders fashions a novel out of pain and sadness, transforming a reader’s guilt into ultimate submission to the victims’ justice in a suspenseful web of twists and turns.

Decades after Grace’s attack, readers find her emotionless upon learning about the death of her husband. Jason immerses readers into her history, and the mystery of her present state is left to speculation and will unravel throughout the rest of the novel. The anger readers will feel about what was done to Grace will start to disappear as the narrative unfolds and reveals even more victims in her past.

John, the sheriff in a small town, is indulging in narcotic ecstasy when he is summoned to deal with a robbery-turned-hostage situation in town. It goes awry, and he’s praised for killing the convict, avenging a little girl’s murder when it was really his gun that accidentally sealed her fate. John leaves town and his position as sheriff and sets off into the wilderness to find his sister-in-law, Grace, with retaliation on his mind.

A change in Grace’s character many years later presents an interesting turn of events where locals suspect her to be responsible for her husband’s death, which appears to be an accident. Grace doesn’t waste any time finding a new love interest in Delbert Cooper. A group of men stumble upon the skeletons of more than one person on Grace’s former farm, and the speculation mounts with fear for her final lover quickly becoming justified.

Readers will piece together the puzzle about Grace and her continuous quest for satisfaction for the abuse that she suffered at Charles’ hands, all the while hoping that what they’re learning about her just isn’t true. Jason Reinders’ ability to present multiple characters in each chapter and then tie them together in the end is unmatched. Spider Webs will enrage readers but also pull at their heartstrings, allowing that little bit of sympathy to eke out in the final scene. A woman’s life is wasted, all because of one night and one man…and she spends the rest of her life making sure it doesn’t happen again.
