PRAISE FOR BRANDILYN COLLINS’
KANNER LAKE SERIES

 

CRIMSON EVE

 

“Collins tops herself by creating a suspenseful, nonstop thrill ride.… Truly the best CF suspense title so far this year; this book deserves a place in all collections.”

— Library Journal
, starred review

 

“…teeth-chattering, mind-freezing prose.
Crimson Eve
is Collins at her very best.… The pacing is so intense there was little opportunity to rest. Collins crafts an unparalleled cat-and-mouse game wrought with mystery and surprise.”


TitleTrakk.com

 

“The excitement starts on page one and doesn’t stop until the shocking end… [Crimson Eve] is fast-paced and thrilling.”

Romantic Times

 

“The action starts with a bang, with an attempt on Carla’s life, and the pace doesn’t let up until this fabulous racehorse of a story crosses the finish line… Collins’s fast-paced and intriguing plot line is sensitively combined with diary entries of Carla’s past heartaches. Crimson Eve will be a welcome addition to the libraries of Christian suspense fans.”

Christian Retailing

 

VIOLET DAWN

 

“What a ride! Collins is a high-caliber writer. [She] spices her seatbelt suspense with a dash of humor and heart-wrenching predicaments. Don’t forget to breathe.”

Novel Reviews

 

“… features a sympathetic heroine and uses flashbacks effectively to set up this tale about child abuse and its long-term impact. With several suspense titles under her belt (
Brink of Death, Stain of Guilt, Web of Lies
), Collins knows how to weave faith into a rich tale. Possible crossover appeal for fans of Mary Higgins Clark.”

— Library Journal

 

“Skillfully written… Imaginative style and exquisite suspense.”

1340mag.com

 

“… a roller-coaster ride with incredible heights and violent spiral twists that leave you quaking as it slows to a stop.”

— North Idaho Lifestyle

 

“Collins expertly melds flashbacks with present-day events to provide a smooth yet deliciously intense flow.”

— RT BookClub

 

“Collins’s skill in handling multiple points of view and time shifts, which flow easily together and advance the plot… interesting details of police procedure and crime scene investigation… a promising and entertaining beginning to the Kanner Lake Series.”

Publisher’s Weekly

 

CORAL MOON

 

“Thrilling.… Leave the light on when you read this one.… Readers will enjoy spending time with the well-rounded characters in Kanner Lake. This is a fun read with almost no down time, one of those rare books you hurry through, almost breathlessly, to find out what happens.”

— Spokane Living

 

“A chilling mystery. Not one to be read alone at night.”

— RT BookClub
, four stars
