This is the fourth and final installment in the Kanner Lake Series by Brandilyn Collins. The story moves back to Kanner Lake whereas the third story, Crimson Eve, took place elsewhere, but involved one of the Kanner Lake residents. The author does what she has in every other book in the series and that is she creates lots of suspense, tension and action.

The Kanner Lake gang is all gathered at the Java Joint for coffee, pastries, and to see one of their own sign a contract with a publishing company to publish two books. The S-man starts signing, but abruptly stops as three men enter the coffee shop armed with guns. Someone from Kanner Lake is shot right away and the body drug outside with a note addressed to Chief Vince Edwards. Therein begins a hostage situation with those occupants of Java Joint unable to leave or communicate with anyone outside the shop.

Chief Edwards has recently taken hostage negotiation classes and they will certainly be needed now. He must balance keeping things calm, keeping the hostages safe and keeping the hostage takers from hurting anyone. More law enforcement personnel are brought in to help with negotiations. The local church is full of prayer warriors, praying out loud or on their knees or silently with arms uplifted for the safety of all the hostages. The news media becomes involved and the tension escalates. Will the hostages be released without injury? Can the town of Kanner Lake and its' people survive yet another killing? The town has endured so much in the two years.

Be warned! Once you start reading this, you won't be able to stop. The pulse-pounding tension will keep you riveted in your seat and your fingers flipping the pages quickly. I'm sorry the series is at an end, but I plan on reading the author's other series. I came to really enjoy the characters throughout this series and to see their spiritual growth in difficult circumstances was so encouraging. Also, to see their relationships develop and deepen between the Kanner Lake residents was satisfying as well as the wonderful feeling of family that becomes more evident with each book in the series. Thank you Brandilyn for such an enjoyable ride on your rollercoaster of suspense! It was fantastic!!

The best of the four book series. Complete suspense keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Wow, what a series! I have finished the book Amber Morn, which is the fourth and final book in the Kanner Lake Series by Brandilyn Collins. Brandilyn is known for her trademark Seatbelt Suspense and once again with Amber Morn she did not disappoint.This was a fantastic ending to the series. It was thoroughly engaging and very dramatic. All of the main characters, as well as some minor ones were featured throughout. All of the Java Joint regulars gather for a celebration, but are stopped before they really even get going, becoming hostages in a nightmare experience. The drama is intense, with a surprising twist at the very end. There are lots of twists and turns which are always a plus. I really enjoyed this book and am a bit saddened to see the series come to an end.

I'm so sad that this is the last book in the Kanner Lake series. The good folks of this town have become friends. But if the series has to end, this book did it in a magnificant way.

How do you follow three excellent suspense novels? If you're Brandilyn Collins, you kick things up a few notches and release Amber Morn.Action-filled from the opening pages, the final installment of the Kanner Lake Series grabs the reader and just won't let go. This is the ultimate example of a book you don't want to put down, and it's a blast to read.
