While the Lambs Slept is a tense, gripping thriller that keeps readers on edge. When a church home group faces both personal demons and a lurking serial killer, the story dives into suspense, fear, and the resilience of ordinary people under extraordinary pressure. A fast-paced read that fans of suspense and psychological thrillers will enjoy.

I got to chapter 20 of this book, and couldn't put it down. I was up until 2:00am finishing the book. The suspense and pace of the book was great. The first thought I had about this book after I finished it was, the descriptions were fantastic. I was able to visualize everything so clearly, and I could feel pressure in the atmosphere from the storm section of the book. I felt the ending was left in such a way, that the author could totally write a squeal to this book. I came away believing from this book that the author is a extremely talented writer, and that each book they write will be better than the last. I felt once I hit chapter 20,the author really hit their stride and the dialog and descriptions were much crisper and tighter.

Very well written! I'm a sucker for thriller/mystery novels and found this book gripping me. The beginning is a little slow, but for good reason. The author does an amazing job describing each character and essentially outlining the details. Without spoiling anything for readers, all I can say is deep down I'm hoping for a sequel!
