Ms. Collins' first two novels, Eyes of Elisha & Dread Champion, featured Chelsea Adams, a Christian whom God speaks to through visions.

Brandilyn's Hidden Faces Series' heroin is a forensic artist named Annie. Collins brings these two ladies together in her suspense novel, Web of Lies.

Chelsea gets a vision from God, a frightening scene~someone locked in a dark room filled with spiders.

She feels a burden to contact forensic artist Annie to draw the face she saw in this vision. The women's lives interweave and the roller-coaster ride begins.

This story is told in an unusal manner, third person from Chelsea's point of view, first person from Annie's. A strong and believable faith message is ever present as both heroins seek God for His guidance and help.

I had recently read Collins', Dead of Night, so I fully expected the ending of Web of Lies to have a twist I didn't see coming, and Brandilyn did not disappoint. Her writing is tight, and the story is full of twists, turns and surprises.

I recommend Web of Lies to mystery, suspense and thriller lovers.

    You left out the third perspective, the bad guy's done in bold!

    I read the ARC in two days!

    Chelsea and Annie are my favorite characters. I hope Brandilyn does other books with them working together!

    You're right! I enjoyed the antagonist's pov in her last 2 books. (The only ones I've read so far). Thanks Bonnie. Yeah, she's a fast read. I think I zip through her books in a few days and I'm a slow reader. Her writing is just so tight.
