(Romantic Times )

From the Back Cover
The noises, faint, fleeting, whispered into her consciousness like wraiths passing in the night.

Twelve-year-old Erin Willit opened her eyes to darkness lit only by the dim green nightlight near her closet door and the faint glow of a street lamp through her front window. She felt her forehead wrinkle, the fingers of one hand curl as she tried to discern what had awakened her.

Something was not right . . .

Annie Kingston moves to Grove Landing for safety and quiet—and comes face to face with evil.

When neighbor Lisa Willet is killed by an intruder in her home, Sheriff’s detectives are left with little evidence. Lisa’s daughter, Erin, saw the killer, but she’s too traumatized to give a description. The detectives grow desperate.

Because of her background in art, Annie is asked to question Erin and draw a composite. But Annie knows little about forensic art or the sensitive interview process. A nonbeliever, she finds herself begging God for help. What if her lack of experience leads Erin astray? The detectives could end up searching for a face that doesn’t exist.

Leaving the real killer free to stalk the neighborhood . . .

This book will keep you jumpin!!!
I finished "Brink of Death" in about 3 days, had to sleep some of the time.....
The whole book was so great but the last 140 pages had me
jumpin(g)through sentences so fast that I had to go back and re-read the paragraphs over again.
This is the kind of book I just love and hate at the same time. Love because it is so darn good and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Hate, because it is so good that I read it to fast and it is over, gone, done POOF!!! , and I don't want it to be over. Oh yes, something else. You brought the Lord throughout the whole book so beautifully that as Annie was fighting him and reaching out to him at the same time, you could identify with her easily.
I can hardly wait for the next one. I am utterly amazed at the skill and talent you have to put something like that together. Thank you.

New Series Gets a Grip
From the opening scene in BRINK OF DEATH you know you're in good hands. You're also in for a ride - one that thrusts you into the world of Annie Kingston - single mom, former courtroom artist, and a woman about to live a nightmare.

Told in Annie's engaging first person point of view (except for the prologue and the scattered scenes following the villain in third person), there are no wasted words. Every chapter leads you seamlessly into the next. Tight, suspenseful, and peppered with compelling details about forensic art, BRINK OF DEATH will keep you up waaaaaay past your bedtime. And the good news is it's book #1 in the Hidden Faces series (#2, STAIN OF GUILT available October 2004).

Without compromising the thrills, Brandilyn keeps her story clean, which is something Christian readers will appreciate. But this is also a book you could give to friends or relatives with no concern about hitting them over the head with its religious message. We're gently led to think about God as we follow Annie's story.

Final word? The characters in BRINK OF DEATH are REAL (no cardboard stereotypes here), and this series will win Brandilyn many more loyal fans, myself included.

BRINK OF DEATH by Brandilyn Collins
Wow...Wow...Wow...If you're interested in serious edge of your seat, bite your fingernails to the nub, and flinch at every sound suspense, then here's your book. Surprising twists and turn will keep you up until the wee hours of the morning. Don't start reading this book after dark and definitely don't read it ALONE! Thanks, Brandilyn, for another winner! I am anxiously awaiting the second in the series as my fingernails grow back - just in time to chew them all off again, I'm sure.
