"Last Breath" by Brandilyn Collins & Amberly Collins



About this book:

  “With his last breath, a dying man whispered four stunning words into Shaley O’Connor’s ear. Shaley is reeling after two murders on the Rayne concert tour. But she has no time to rest. If the dying man’s claim is right, the danger is far from over. Shaley’s quest for the truth leads to the mysterious and wrenching past of her mother and father. Could what happened to them so many years ago threaten Shaley’s life now?”

My personal Rating-
Counting right on from where the first book left off, “Last Breath” had me on the edge of my seat. I did enjoy this book more than #1 due to no killings, but there was still some intense moments in this one. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the ending, I do wish there was more Spiritual Content, but for a smaller book, there was a decent amount.


See y’all on Friday with a new review!
