Coral Moon319 pages
From the Back Cover The figure remained still as stone. Leslie couldn’t even detect a breath. Spider fingers teased the back of her neck. Leslie’s feet rooted to the pavement. She dropped her gaze to the driveway, seeking … what? Spatters of blood? Footprints? She saw nothing. Honed through her recent coverage of crime scene evidence, the testimony at last month’s trial, the reporter in Leslie spewed warnings: Notice everything, touch nothing. Leslie Williams hurries out to her car on a typical workday morning—and discovers a dead body inside. Why was the corpse left for her to find? And what is the meaning of the message pinned to its chest? In Coral Moon, the senseless murder of a beloved Kanner Lake citizen spirals the small Idaho town into a terrifying glimpse of spiritual forces beyond our world. What appears true seems impossible. Or is it?
I loved this book. It was very good and very suspenseful. Supernatural elements make it different from anything else by this author (at least the ones I have read). I love Brandilyn Collins. The chapters are short (which I like because I tend to read in short spurts), she gradually reveals the identity of the killer through flashbacks, the characters seem real and you genuinely care about them.

From the back cover: Realtor Carla Radling shows and "English gentleman" a lakeside estate- and finds herself facing a gun.
Who has hired this assassin to kill her, and why?
Forced on the run, Carla must uncover the scathing secrets of her past.
Secrets that could destroy some very powerful people.
I think this was my favorite book in the series. I read it in one day. It literally keeps you on the edge of your seat the entire time. Ms. Collins' tagline "Don't Forget to Breathe" is a fitting description for this book.

From the back cover:
On a beautiful Saturday morning the nationally read “Scenes and Beans” bloggers gather at Java Joint for a special celebration. Chaos erupts when three gunmen burst in and take them all hostage. One person is shot and dumped outside.
Police Chief Vince Edwards must negotiate with the desperate trio. The gunmen insist on communicating through the “comments” section of the blog—so all the world can hear their story. What they demand, Vince can’t possibly provide. But if he doesn’t, over a dozen beloved Kanner Lake citizens will die …
This was my least favorite book in the series.
I think part of the reason is because I didn't give it my full attention.
I read it during Hurricane Gustav.
Needless to say, I was somewhat pre-occupied while reading it.
It was a good story line, and I'm sure it is a good book if you read it under normal circumstances. :-)
