BOOK REVIEW | Amber Morn
I’m looking at my stacks of books (the read pile) and thinking, I need to get some book reviews posted. I have a habit of reading and then writing reviews in one sitting. I also tend to write my reviews by hand and then transfer them to the blog. Uhm, I see making better use of my Alphasmart in the future.
I’m also always reading at least 2 or more books at the same time. So, I’m determined NOT to start another book until I finish this set I have going. Should be easy, but there are so many around me I want to read. LOL!
Amber Morn
by Brandilynn Collins
Amber Morn is the fourth and final book in the Kanner Lake series. In this novel, the infamous Scenes and Beans bloggers (yes, there is a real blog) are center stage. The members of this town have been through a lot in the past few months, resulting in the loss of one innocent life after another (read previous books). Finally, it seems this group will be able to breathe easier again, putting the past behind them. They have gathered at the Bailey Truit’s Java Joint coffee shop to support their favorite science fiction writer, Ted Dawson, as he signs his book contract. In the midst of their celebration, the unthinkable happens and yet again more lives could be lost.
Three gunmen enter the Java Joint with a well-laid out plan. The father, Kent Wicksell, and his two sons are desperate to get someone’s attention by any means necessary. They intend to get their youngest son and brother released from prison. If their demands are not met, people were going to start dying. More people.
When the Wicksell men seized control of the coffee shop, one of the gunmen shoot an off-duty police officer. With one of his men down, Police Chief Vince, and his staff are racing against the clock to negotiate with three ticking time bombs.
I recently joined Brandilynn Collins Fan page on Facebook.com. She asked the question, “Which book is your favorite?” I still have a hard time choosing one favorite out of the four Kanner Lake books. I do have to say Amber Morn was the most dramatic and action-packed. There were quite a few characters (points of views) to read, but Collins expertly made sure each individual voice shined through even when there were several conversations going on in the coffee shop. This is an author who grows and grows with each of her signature “Seatbelt Suspense” novels.
I will be posting my review of her stand-alone novel, Dark Pursuit, soon. This book was released November 2008. It was a bit different reading a novel from Brandilyn that wasn’t a part of a series, but she didn’t disappoint.
Here is a listing of all my book reviews for the Kanner Lake Series.
- Crimson Eve – Book Three
- Coral Moon – Book Two
- Violet Dawn – Book One
