Great Page-Turner!!! November 6, 2008
In the 2nd novel from the Kanner Lake series, the author once again snagged my interest in the first chapter, and kept me from being able to put the book down. I don't want to give away the story...but Brandilyn skillfully gives the reader insight into just enough of the killer's mind and thoughts to keep you totally guessing, be sitting on the edge of your seat, and holding your breath as you read through the story.
It is interesting and exciting reading...and again...she also has christian truths woven into the rich tapestry of the story.
Excellent reading!
Just a bit creepy..... June 26, 2008
Violet Dawn was pretty predictable, Coral Moon was not. The murderer is well concealed until the last minute and that makes this book, very, very good.
The town of Kanner Lake has begun to settle down and return to its old routine. They're out of the headlines and back to be the sleepy little small town its residents love. But are things really as they appear, or is there an evil lurking in town?
A well loved citizen brutally murdered and left in Leslie's car. A second woman strangled and left on the street outside Leslie's home. A dead man's spirit seen and his hair found on both bodies. What is going on? Are Leslie's articles covering a proposal to build a controversial hotel to blame or has someone's past come back from the dead to haunt them?
Wonderfully suspenseful comes easily to mind. Collins has written quite a gripping mystery with Coral Moon. Mixing supernatural elements with reality, she's created a story that's both believable and mind bending. She's done a great job of not revealing who's really to blame while at the same time keeping everyone as a suspect. Additionally, Collins has written characters that are interesting and keep you wanting to find out more of their lives.
While the story is a murder mystery and most of what happens can be explained through what we know and see, I very much like that Collins has left some things beyond our understanding. She gives great insight into the spiritual realm and its reaches, but also is clear in letting the reader know, we don't have all the answers.
Collin strongly emphasizes Jesus' presence and power in defeating evil. Spiritual warfare books are extremely popular right now and while Coral Moon takes some of the ideas presented in many books, it goes a bit further and portrays a more concrete form for demons. Combining it with senesces, she has created a book both gripping and deeply spiritual .
 great follow up to a new series... March 29, 2008
This book is the second of great new series (Kanner lake) I really love this book also. This suspense was intense but took a little longer getting there, than the first book, but once it got there...there was no PULLING YOU BACK!!!
Don't Read On A Dark and Stormy Night- Totally Amazing! December 5, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
Leslie Brymes, reporter for the Kanner Lake Times has dreams of going national. Hoping her coverage of actress Edna San's murder last year would raise her to the stardom she dreams of. But when she awakens one morning to find seventy something year old Vesta Johnson, a woman loved by all murdered and put in her car she has second thoughts about being a reporter.
Police Chief Vince Edwards is at a lost as to who would murder Vesta. But all clues point to one person and that is impossible, that person being Henry Johnson, Vesta's late husband who passed away fourteen months ago! But what of the eerie feelings he has experienced? And even Leslie feels an evil presence is trying to kill her.
With a police department of only five men and with the Idaho State Police looking for clues at the crime scene Vince must figure this out, does he have a serial killer on his hands, a ghost or a one time murder? But what of the note found pinned on Vesta's chest? Vince is racing against time will the murderer strike again and what does Leslie have to do with all of this?
Leslie feels that she can't trust anyone but has to find out if in someway Vesta's murder is her fault. The second body appears and the notes begin to appear what does all this have to do with the new proposed hotel? And what about the teenager that calls Leslie with information that Leslie has to pursue? What of the evil that seems to have fallen on Kenner Lake? After all the twists and turns the climax will have you seating on the edge of your seat.
If you love mystery, intrigue and suspense than hold onto your seat as author Brandilyn Collins gives you a glimpse of the unseen realm of demonic forces and how God places prayer on the hearts of His people even those who question who He is and has everyone looking to the pastor for guidance.
Coral Moon is the second book of the author's new series, the first being Violet Dawn all revolve around the sleepy little Town of Kenner Lake. Brandilyn Collins has a way with words so much so that you find yourself not being able to put down this awesome page turner. The characters jump right off the page at you, characters or people you feel you know and become entangled in their lives.
If you're new to Brandilyn Collins as this reviewer is you'll find yourself wanting to read all ten of her other 3 series of books, while waiting in anticipation as to what is in store next for the people of Kenner Lake in the third book Crimson Eve. Word of advice don't read Coral Moon alone on a dark and stormy night!

1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In Coral Moon Collins brings us a fascinating tale laced with supernatural chills and gut wrenching suspense. Leslies Brymes, reporter for The Kanner Lake Times, has her world turned upside down when she discovers a dead body in her car. Suddenly, a typical workday turns into a nightmare for Leslie and the other citizens of Kanner Lake. Police Chief Vince Edwards searches diligently for the culprit, only to be floored when his best suspect turns out to be the dead husband of the victim. As the truth is slowly uncovered, the citizens of Kanner Lake are faced with a dark truth and their faith will be challenged at every revealing turn.
Brandilyn Collin's Kanner Lake Series is hands down her best work. The fictional town of Kanner Lake is a delightful creation, full of cleverly crafted characters that are quirky, loveable, and memorable. From the twisting and turning plots to the shocking revelations, Collins proves she is a master of the suspense genre. Each story in the series is vastly different and yet all are equally entertaining and riveting. Embedded in the suspenseful storylines we find nuggets of hope and faith that are both insightful and encouraging. This series is highly recommended for fans of suspense thrillers and mystery.
