Beyond the Shadows
Gone by Dark by Christy Barritt:
Ten years ago, Charity White’s best friend, Andrea, was abducted as they walked home from school. A decade later, when Charity receives a mysterious letter that promises answers, she returns to North Carolina in search of closure. With the help of her new neighbor, Police Officer Joshua Haven, Charity begins to track down mysterious clues concerning her friend’s abduction. They soon discover that they must work together or both of them will be swallowed by the looming darkness.
The Unrelenting Tide by Lynnette Bonner:
Widowed former-Hollywood-actress Devynne Lang has been living a quiet life in the San Juan Islands of the Pacific Northwest. For years, she's hoped her fabricated death would keep her identity safe from the public, and more to the point, from the stalker who forced her into hiding. But strange things have been happening around her place and this time, with a daughter to protect, she can’t afford one mistake – even if it means letting Carcen Lang get close enough to help.
The End Came with a Kiss by John Michael Hileman:
When the world died, my wife died with it. She became like the rest—a beautiful zombie, acting out a scene from our past, over and over again. But I know she is alive inside that dead body. She's been trying to tell me, trying to show me—and I won't stop until I save her. I won't stop until I save them all.
Saving Grace by Lesley Ann McDaniel:
When an obsessive fan forces opera singer Tracy Fontaine to change her name to Grace Addison and go into hiding in a small Montana town, the last thing she wants is to get to know the locals. Now, not one but two men have worked their way into her daily routine, much to the chagrin of a jealous local girl, who insists on prying into Grace’s past and stirring up deadly trouble. Will Grace find love in Madison Falls…or will her stalker find her?
When Night Comes by Dan Walsh:
Jack Turner comes back to his alma mater to give a series of lectures for his old history professor. Within days, he starts having bizarre experiences at night. Like he’s traveling back in time, experiencing the epic events in his lectures firsthand. Several college students suddenly start dying in their sleep. The Professor who’d invited Jack begins acting edgy and strange. And there’s this beautiful brunette in the back row. Every time he looks at her, she’s smiling at him. She looks vaguely familiar.
Battered Justice by Linda Bradley White:
FBI Special Agent Jake Tucker works hard to be an excellent investigator and a great dad. Having Cass McKenna as his partner helps. An investigation into a shooting leads them to a shadowy trail of crime connected with a casino--and the battered body of Jake's ex-wife. Jake is sure Tam's new husband, a powerful state senator, killed her. But Lady Justice can be battered, too. Soon Jake and Cass find themselves in the fight of their lives.

Good filler
I got this even though I had already read one of the books, but it was on sale, so I went ahead and got it. As usual with a compilation, there were books that were good and books that were ok. I do highly recommend this last one by Linda White! It kept me reading into the night just to find out what happened. Great writing, great suspense.

I was looking for Christian mystery Fiction. Although the first two stories fit the bill, the others did not. Disappointed, so it took me longer to get through the set. In fact, I basically skipped the fourth story altogether.

My Thoughts
Some stories were great. Others were disappointing. Would I recommend. Yes
The good ones out weighed the ones I didn't care for.

"Battered Justice" by Linda J. White is an absolutely stunning suspense, with no weaknesses and many, many strengths!
FBI Special Agents Jake Tucker and Cass McKenna have a unique partnership; together they have lived through tremendous loss and have survived extreme circumstances; both professionally and personally. When assigned to solve a shooting incident involving a fellow federal agent, Jake and Cass uncover fragile threads of criminal activity which implicate a powerful state senator, who just happens to be married to Jake's ex-wife. Gambling, domestic violence, attempted assaults, custody disputes, drug infested street gangs, and ultimately murder dramatically converge; giving this story the five star rating that it so richly deserves.
Combining this great story with those of Christy Barritt, Lynette Bonner and others, makes this collection a virtual treasure trove for Christian suspense enthusiasts!

I love the book Gone By Dark by Christy Barritt. The main character Charity lives with guilt day in and day out for a whole decade of when she and her very best friend Andrea decided to take a short cut through the woods on their way home from school one day. Andrea got kidnapped and has never been seen or heard from since that day. Charity just can't let go of the hurt, worry, the missing her heart feels for her friend. Until, she gets a letter luring her back to North Carolina to come and find out the information about it all. But is it the truth? An officer friend she meets along the way and the only person she learns to trust even a little helps her fight to through the dark, woods of her worst nightmare.....once again to hopefully find the truth and perhaps her best friend Andrea. Or atleast some closure to what happened to her ten years ago.

This review is for Saving Grace by Lesley Ann McDaniel. Grace is hiding from her life in NY in a small town named Madison Falls. You are swept away into her life with many twists and turns that keep you guessing about what is going to happen next. The characters are believable and the plot is well written. I love the small town characters and the warm feelings it evokes. This is my first book by Lesley, but will not be my last. Her writing style reminds me of Colleen Coble. If you love mystery, suspense, romance, and Faith then this is the book for you. I will read the rest of the books in this collection.
I received a copy from the author for an honest review and I have done that.

Wow! A great suspense and mystery by Christy Barritt! This second book of Carolina Moon is one of Christy's best novels! I enjoyed reading this mystery and it was soooo hard to put down. The whole time I was reading I was trying to figure out what happened to Andrea and why Charity was called back to Hertford. I loved how Charity grew as a person and became stronger and braver in the book. A very wonderful message about leaning on God and loved ones and how your perception of how people see you can be wrong.
I also read When Night Comes by Dan Walsh. A very exciting read also.

Well written
Throughout the Book are good descriptions that make you feel you're part of the scene. Good use of hobbies to connect with the characters.

Mixed review
Some of the books in this set were good, one was so bad I couldn't get past the 2nd chapter. The last book was the crown jewel and I will be reading more by that author.

Nice collection
Like many collections it is hard to rate as a bundle. I could not force myself to read the Walsh story, but really enjoyed the others.

July 16, 2016For 99 cents, this is well worth it even just for the Hileman book! I'm rating all the books separately as I read them, but getting this 99 cent set is a great deal!
