MY REVIEW:

Final Touch is the chilling third and final book in the Rayne Tour series. In the first two books, Shaley O’Connor, daughter of a rock star, encountered danger and even murder while touring with her mother. In this final installment, Shaley finds herself in the most desperate situation of her life with no help in sight. As she faces an unthinkable future with an evil man who thinks he is a prophet of God, Shaley can depend only on herself and the Lord to deliver her to safety.

The story moves at the usual intense pace expected in books by the Collins ladies. Characters are well fleshed out with some focus on several secondary people. This one kept me turning pages until I reached the last one. Recommended for mature teens and young adults – and any other adult who enjoys suspense.
