About the author
Amanda Feyerbend
33 books16 followersAmanda Feyerbend—pronounced Fire-bend—grew up loving mysteries. As a child one of her favorite book series was The Boxcar Children. She would delve into their mysteries and imagine herself working alongside the gang. As she grew, Amanda usually found herself drawn to books with an overall mystery theme, whether the genre was Sci-fi, Fantasy, or Horror. She also loves watching police procedural movies and television shows.
Though her major in college was Biology, Amanda minored in film studies after an amazing high school literature class where she and her classmates made a short film mimicking the style used in the movie Memento. In a film writing class, she finished plotting out a two-year-old screenplay that she’d started after a car accident left her bedridden for a few months.
That screenplay—titled Endless Evil—gathered dust for several years until, in 2013, her coworker and best friend suggested she turn it into a novel. Amanda followed her advice and self-published Endless Evil in February of 2014. She immediately began the follow-up novel, White River, and published it that same year in August.
Since then she’s released two other books in The Pruitt County Mysteries and her first standalone novel, The Ideal Woman, was released in August of 2017.
Amanda grew up in Georgia and is currently in the process of renovating her childhood home with plans to live there. She’s had a menagerie of pets, and currently resides with two rambunctious tomcats who have no problem distracting Amanda from her writing for a cuddle session or playtime. Kimbrel was named after the former Atlanta Braves closing pitcher. She planned to name her second kitty Bosher after the Atlanta Falcons punter, but the name his foster mom gave him, Lupin, stuck.

Complex and thrilling!
Liz is assigned a triple murder but she is surrounded by lies, deceit and a 'community', with something to hide.
Can she uncover the secrets before another life is taken?
Thrilling, I loved it!

I received an ARC and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
This story begins with Liz leaving the courthouse after testifying on a case. She is heading home when she talks to her boyfriend. After getting off the phone, she receives a call from her boss and told that she and her partner needed to handle a case involving an OIS along with a killing. Upon arriving the learn that another agent is handling the OIs. They go into the sheriff's department where they meet Det. Milford. The group then went to the crime scene to get an idea of what happened.
The next day they begin their investigation even though they knew that the person involve in the OIS was the killer. After talking with members of the community, they felt something was off. It seems that a lot of the people belong to "Ehud's Glory" a church community which once described seemed to be a cult. The pastor even inserted himself into the interviews relating to his church members. Eventually the investigation led to that community.
As they closed the case and were heading back to their headquarters, an event happened that changed everything.
To learn what that event was, what involvement the cult had, why the killing happened and how it all ended, then you need to read this book. The ending is one that you wouldn't expect.
