Summary

Annie Pederson has lived her life in the shadow of tragedy。 Her sister was kidnapped off a dock one day while they were playing。 Her father never forgave her for failing to stop it—even though she was only eight at the time。 Her first love deserted her for an orthopedic residency。 She quickly married his best friend and they were happy—until he and her parents were all killed in the same accident。

Now Annie is doing her best to keep all the different parts of her life afloat: her job as a park ranger， where she’s never stopped looking for evidence of her sister’s fate; the Tremolo Inn and Marina， which her parents owned her whole life and she can’t bear to see fail now that they’re gone; and her eight-year-old daughter， Kylie， who’s quickly losing memories of her father。

When Annie’s first love， Jon， returns to town， she tries her best to hide from him—she knows that story only ends in heartbreak—but avoiding him becomes impossible when she finds herself the victim of escalating incidents。 Her home is broken into and her belongings riffled through。 Her daughter’s things are destroyed。 An arson attack consumes a beautiful pavilion her father built。 A sniper’s bullet takes out a tire on her car。 Why is she being targeted？ And what secrets is some unknown enemy so desperate to keep hidden？

Thanks so much NetGalley and Thomas Nelson。 I really like Coble's books， and this one did not disappoint。 Annie's sister disappeared when they were children。 Now she's a widowed law enforcement officer and mom to an 8 year old。 A body surfaces and old memories return。I liked this book because of the mystery aspects of the storyline， as well as the character development。 Some novels miss that part， and I think having good characters brings so much to the story。 Can't wait to read the rest of the Thanks so much NetGalley and Thomas Nelson。 I really like Coble's books， and this one did not disappoint。 Annie's sister disappeared when they were children。 Now she's a widowed law enforcement officer and mom to an 8 year old。 A body surfaces and old memories return。I liked this book because of the mystery aspects of the storyline， as well as the character development。 Some novels miss that part， and I think having good characters brings so much to the story。 Can't wait to read the rest of the series！ 。。。more

Edge of Dusk by Colleen Coble is an action packed suspense。 It is part one in a three part series。 There is closure but not complete closure to keep you wanting more in the next couple books。 Annie’s sister went missing when their were kids and she has blamed herself ever since。 Now the mother of an 8 year old。 She lost her husband and parents in a recent boating accident。 I struggled with her decision to marry her fiancé’s best friend soon after they broke up。 And that she had any doubt at all Edge of Dusk by Colleen Coble is an action packed suspense。 It is part one in a three part series。 There is closure but not complete closure to keep you wanting more in the next couple books。 Annie’s sister went missing when their were kids and she has blamed herself ever since。 Now the mother of an 8 year old。 She lost her husband and parents in a recent boating accident。 I struggled with her decision to marry her fiancé’s best friend soon after they broke up。 And that she had any doubt at all as to whether her ex fiancé was involved in the teen girls disappearance。 Annie’s ex fiancé is back in town to fix up and sell their family home。 He and Annie re-establish their friendship。My favorite part of the book was Annie dealing with finding out her daughter had celiac disease。 The author shared a lot of great information and eating tips and encouragement。 My second favorite part of the book was revisiting Rock Harbor and some of our favorite characters from that series。 I received this book from Netgalley。 I was not required to write a positive review。You can see my full review at More Than a Review dot com where I rate the level of sex， violence， language and drug/alcohol use in books。 。。。more

This was a fast paced book。 It was also hard to put down！It has lots of surprises in it and I can’t wait to see what happens next。 I loved it！Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy

I always look forward to Colleen Coble's new book releases， and I was especially excited for this one since her last release ended up being one of my all time favorites by her。 Unfortunately， this one ended up not being exactly what I was expecting， and although I did still enjoy certain parts of it， it's not a new favorite， and it's not one I ended up loving。I struggled to connect with any of the characters throughout the story， and I thought they all behaved quite juvenile and immature， and it I always look forward to Colleen Coble's new book releases， and I was especially excited for this one since her last release ended up being one of my all time favorites by her。 Unfortunately， this one ended up not being exactly what I was expecting， and although I did still enjoy certain parts of it， it's not a new favorite， and it's not one I ended up loving。I struggled to connect with any of the characters throughout the story， and I thought they all behaved quite juvenile and immature， and it was often hard to read about。 Kylie's behavior didn't seem to be typical of a child her age， and I thought she desperately needed therapy， and proper discipline， instead of the pandering that Annie was constantly giving to her。 I understand she was devastated by the loss of her father and grandparents， but she seemed to get away with whatever she wanted， including treating any and everyone badly that she didn't personally care for。I thought it was an interesting plot point that both Jon and Kylie have celiac disease， as the author was able to bring attention to the struggles involved for anyone who's been diagnosed with this disease。 However， the information on it went on and on， and I thought way more attention to this detail was given than was truly necessary to the plot。 Including stressing over and over again which gluten free brands were the best for Annie to be buying for Kylie。I'm someone who has read a lot of suspense novels over the years， especially Christian suspense， and I have to be honest that the content of this one really ended up bothering me。 It was a lot darker than I was initially expecting， and while the faith element was there， it wasn't strong enough to combat all of the darkness that plays a big part in the mystery。 I wanted a lot more Jesus to balance out all of the darkness， and I don't feel I got that。I did enjoy the setting， the bigger mystery that's set up for the rest of the series， and as always， I really enjoyed Colleen Coble's immersive writing style。 However， I wish more answers had been explained properly in the conclusion， and I felt everything wrapped up much too quickly。Final Rating: 3/5。I'm definitely intrigued enough to keep reading on with the rest of the series， but I hope I end up enjoying the second title more than I did this one。Thanks so much to Thomas Nelson for allowing me to advance read and review this one！I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary advance reader copy of this novel from the publisher （Thomas Nelson） via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。 I was not required to give a positive review。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Jennie Webb ，

Another good story from Rock Harbor！ The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's another one of those stories where boy and girl were in love， one goes off to the big city， the other stays behind， etc。 I guess I've just been reading too many of those lately。。。 The mystery is great！ It's got lots of suspense。 Definitely some of the creepy factor！ And it includes helpful information for those with celiac disease。Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for the advance e-copy！ Th Another good story from Rock Harbor！ The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's another one of those stories where boy and girl were in love， one goes off to the big city， the other stays behind， etc。 I guess I've just been reading too many of those lately。。。 The mystery is great！ It's got lots of suspense。 Definitely some of the creepy factor！ And it includes helpful information for those with celiac disease。Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for the advance e-copy！ The opinions expressed are entirely my own。 。。。more

Started as a pretty run of the mill suspense mystery until the second half， when I started getting whacked over the head with religion。 And how-to tips for eating gluten-free。

Colleen Coble brings excitement， anxiousness， and action to the first book in the Annie Pederson series， Edge of Dusk。 This is a romantic suspense novel with a subtle Christian fiction tone set in in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in and around the village of Rock Harbor。Annie’s five-year-old sister Laura was kidnapped when Annie was nine。 Annie has never forgiven herself for letting it happen and neither did her father。 Annie is now 33 and has an eight-year-old daughter， Kylie。 Her husband Colleen Coble brings excitement， anxiousness， and action to the first book in the Annie Pederson series， Edge of Dusk。 This is a romantic suspense novel with a subtle Christian fiction tone set in in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in and around the village of Rock Harbor。Annie’s five-year-old sister Laura was kidnapped when Annie was nine。 Annie has never forgiven herself for letting it happen and neither did her father。 Annie is now 33 and has an eight-year-old daughter， Kylie。 Her husband and parents were killed in a boating accident two years ago。 She is now a law enforcement ranger。 Additionally， she runs the Tremolo Resort and Marina。 When she finds a dead body floating in Lake Superior， she begins working with the sheriff’s office to solve the crime。 At the same time， her old boyfriend， Jon Dustan， returns after being away for nine years。 His presence inflames some of the locals。 He was linked to a cold case before he left for his orthopedic residency。 Can things get any more complex？ Absolutely！The author does a great job of characterization。 Annie Pederson is a likeable character with grit and determination。 However， her grief and self-recrimination over Laura’s kidnapping and Jon leaving her have had a deep effect on her spirit。 Kylie is usually sweet but seems to have an unnatural dislike of Jon the minute she meets him。 Many of the other characters have depth and either put readers on guard or invite them to learn more about them。 Others needed a little more development， especially Taylor Moore。This story has a multi-layered plot with several mysteries and some twists and turns as well as a few surprises along the way。 It starts with a prologue set twenty-four years ago when Laura was kidnapped and then jumps to current times and a multitude of investigations and current case follow-ups。 Additionally， Jon asks Annie to help him clear his name on the cold case。 With the investigations heating up， Annie starts getting threats。 Which case is causing someone to feel threatened and can Annie solve it before she winds up dead or injured？The world-building is excellent。 From the woods to the small towns to Lake Superior， readers are enveloped in the atmosphere of the Upper Peninsula。 With lies， secrets， mysteries， and action， I couldn’t wait to read what was going to happen next。 Themes include jealousy， friendship， misunderstanding， family， grief， anger management， murder， romance， kidnapping， and much more。 While the main mysteries are wrapped up， there are several loose threads at the end of the novel that will make for excellent storylines in future novels。Overall， this book was engaging， atmospheric， and suspenseful。 It did a great job of keeping me hooked and having compassion for the characters through their struggles。 This was an excellent start to what I hope will be a long series。 I’m looking forward to reading more from this author。Thomas Nelson—FICTION and Colleen Coble provided a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley。 This is my honest review。 I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and are not biased in any way。 Publication date is currently set for July 12， 2022。 This review was originally posted at Mystery and Suspense Magazine。 。。。more

（2。5 stars）I picked up Edge of Dusk as a thriller/crime novel without knowing anything more than the publisher's blurb， and never having read anything by Colleen Coble before。 It is my view that this book would be better described as a Christian romance novel where an estranged couple work to solve a set of intersecting mysteries in the course of rekindling their personal relationship。 Coble has two very clear agendas in this book—Christianity and gluten-free diets—that are not mentioned in the （2。5 stars）I picked up Edge of Dusk as a thriller/crime novel without knowing anything more than the publisher's blurb， and never having read anything by Colleen Coble before。 It is my view that this book would be better described as a Christian romance novel where an estranged couple work to solve a set of intersecting mysteries in the course of rekindling their personal relationship。 Coble has two very clear agendas in this book—Christianity and gluten-free diets—that are not mentioned in the book's publicity。 They are repeated ad nauseum throughout the novel to the point where I wanted to yell， "I literally do not care what sort of bread your your turkey sandwiches are made on"。 These agendas get in the way of the novel being a thriller/crime novel。 The religious agenda requires belief and foreknowledge （no sex before marriage， bible content） from the reader to be in any way interesting: "[s]he was no Naomi like in the bible。" With these agendas being advanced so repeatedly， I think it would be more honest for them to be captured in the publisher's blurb （indeed this novel might really appeal to Christians and people struggling with finding out they are gluten-free）。 For me personally， both agenda's impacted upon character building: "His character and faith were the most important parts of him。 He pulled out his phone and searched for the verse he thought he remembered。 He found it in Hebrews。。。" There sure were a lot of thought bubbles about God: "Was God leading him to this point？" So most of the time the novel felt tedious， with the author needing to constantly tell us what the characters were thinking all the time， rather than showing it through their actions。 This led to me getting the impression the author thought I was dumb， needed constant reminding about very banal characteristics of people who I struggled to relate to。 The characters were also mostly caught up in each other rather than the mystery I came for， so I encourage it to be marketed to romance readers more than crime ones: "God brought me back to you and Kylie。 We have a lot of wrinkles to figure out， but I'll but here for all of it with you。"The only bit of Edge of Dusk that I personally found interesting was the Finnish connection to the Lake Superior area （apparently from a wave of immigration in the 1800s） evidenced by Finnish terms littered throughout the novel。 This might have been better explained for a non-North American audience （at least as well as the gluten-free diet was） to make this a better standalone book。 With thanks to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for sending me a copy to read。 。。。more

The Edge of Dusk is a roller coaster ride！ I’m not usually a big fan of romance， but this was more of a thriller with a bit of love mixed in。This story starts with a bang， as Annie Pederson was just 9 years old when her 5-year-old sister Laura was kidnapped one evening while they were dockside listening for the eerie call of loons。 A hooded figure in a broad grabbed her little sister Laura。 Annie wax knocked out and she never saw Laura again。 。 Now， twenty-four years later， Annie is a Law Enforc The Edge of Dusk is a roller coaster ride！ I’m not usually a big fan of romance， but this was more of a thriller with a bit of love mixed in。This story starts with a bang， as Annie Pederson was just 9 years old when her 5-year-old sister Laura was kidnapped one evening while they were dockside listening for the eerie call of loons。 A hooded figure in a broad grabbed her little sister Laura。 Annie wax knocked out and she never saw Laura again。 。 Now， twenty-four years later， Annie is a Law Enforcement Ranger for the wilderness preserve areas in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula with a young daughter of her own。 She still feels responsible for the loss of her little sister。 Today， Annie has recently lost both her husband and parents to a boating accident。 Now， she divides her time between her job and running her parents’ marina and campsites and mothering。 She has little time for herself。Former resident Jon Dunstan has returned to Rock Harbor to oversee his father’s affairs after a recent debilitating stroke。 He is hoping to arrange for repairs needed to get the homestead sold， get his Dad settled and return to his thriving practice as an orthopedic surgeon in the city。 Upon arrival at the old cottage， he realizes that it needs more work than he can manage， and realizes he’ll be needing to oversee things for a while。 He also hopes to reunite with Annie。 After all， he and Annie had once been engaged to be married before a major disagreement ended the relationship， with him leaving town for his residency。 Soon after， Annie marries his best friend， Nate and they have a child named Kylie。 Still Jon’s torch for Annie glows brightly。Meanwhile， a camper has gone missing， his campsite found destroyed。 then， Annie finds a body， with an obvious gunshot wound to the head， floating in the water near her pier。 After notifying the proper authorities， and retrieving his body， they learn that he is the missing camper。 It seems that there is a killer on the peninsula。 Intriguingly enough， the last time Jon Dunstan was in town， two teenage girls went missing， and were never found。 Still some of the residents cast suspicion Jon’s way and this new murder spades fuel to the fire。 You see， Jon not very welcomed in Rock Harbor。 He arrives in a hot little red Jaguars further highlighting his ostentatiousness。 As the investigation heats up， eyes are back on Jon， who insists that he’s innocent， as he struggles to re-connect and repair his relationship with Annie。 But someone on the peninsula is determined to prove otherwise。 One night the pavilion on Annie’s property is torched and a threatening note is left warning Annie to stop investigating or else。 Annie’s character and given the rather abrupt ending， I think readers will see more of her in future novels。 I felt like Kylie’s babysitter Taylor needed more development。 But maybe Coble kept the character vague for good reason。 Thus book has a #1 after the title meaning I think we will learn more about those we met in The Edge of Dusk in the sequels。 To me there were a lot of louse end the author didn’t resolve which I won’t spell as it would contain spoilers。 。。。more

Coble’s books have always hooked me within the first couple pages and this was no different。The layers of mystery seemed overwhelming at times， but not in a bad way。 I had a hard time putting this book down because I wanted to find out if what I was piecing together in my mind was how it would turn out。 The main characters are pretty likable - there were only a few times where I wanted to shake them and tell them to just tell the truth to each other。 I’m giving this 4 stars because Coble’s writi Coble’s books have always hooked me within the first couple pages and this was no different。The layers of mystery seemed overwhelming at times， but not in a bad way。 I had a hard time putting this book down because I wanted to find out if what I was piecing together in my mind was how it would turn out。 The main characters are pretty likable - there were only a few times where I wanted to shake them and tell them to just tell the truth to each other。 I’m giving this 4 stars because Coble’s writing style is very readable and the story is compelling。 However， there was at least one plot item that wasn’t wrapped up and the story seemed to abruptly end。 If this is the beginning of a series then the ending was decent。 If it’s meant to be a stand-alone， I wish there was an epilogue to further tie up the storyline。 I would recommend this to someone who enjoys a suspenseful storyline with a side of drama/romance。 。。。more

Another great suspense read by Colleen Coble。 You really can’t go wrong with her books and this one was no exception。 I don’t know if this is technically part of her Rock Harbor series， but it was set there。 Mother and daughter Annie and Kylie are being targeted by someone connected to Annie’s past and dead bodies keep turning up。 This will keep you on the edge of your seat。

Edge of Dusk takes us back to Rock Harbor， Michigan （where Colleen Coble’s Rock Harbor Novels are set）。 Law Enforcement Ranger Annie Pederson is struggling to maintain her Tremolo Marina and Cabin Resort after the deaths of her parents and husband。 Struggling to keep it up and running while still doing her job with the Kitchigami Wilderness Preserve， Annie is also trying to raise an eight year old daughter， Kylie， who is still reeling from the loss of her father。 The last complication Annie need Edge of Dusk takes us back to Rock Harbor， Michigan （where Colleen Coble’s Rock Harbor Novels are set）。 Law Enforcement Ranger Annie Pederson is struggling to maintain her Tremolo Marina and Cabin Resort after the deaths of her parents and husband。 Struggling to keep it up and running while still doing her job with the Kitchigami Wilderness Preserve， Annie is also trying to raise an eight year old daughter， Kylie， who is still reeling from the loss of her father。 The last complication Annie needs now is the return of Jon Dunstan， her former fiancé。 Jon has returned to make repairs to his father’s lake cabin before selling it， but seeing Annie again makes him realize that without closure， he’ll never be able to move forward in his life。 When the discovery of two bodies in a remote cabin， the bodies of two girls who went missing nine years ago， once again casts suspicion on Jon， he recruits Annie to help him clear his name and find the real killer。 But when the investigation puts Annie and Kylie in danger， will the decade old murder remain a cold case or will Jon be able to rescue the woman he once left behind and clear his name？I was so glad to see that Edge of Dusk was set back in Rock Harbor。 I really enjoyed the Rock Harbor Novels， and it was a pleasure to be taken back there for Edge of Dusk and what I hope will be another Rock Harbor series。 Edge of Dusk is full of action and mystery。 Annie and Jon are characters who are easy to like。 Annie has a complicated back story， and reuniting with Jon comes with additional complications。 The character of Taylor adds an interesting twist to the story， and I hope that we will get more insight into her in a future book。 Overall， I enjoyed reading Edge of Dusk， and I look forward to more Rock Harbor books in the future。 *I received a complimentary copy of this book。 Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own。 。。。more

Colleen Coble is BACK with a SERIES set in ROCK HARBOR！！！！ Can you tell I'm excited？ Add to that the fact that I could not put this book down with all the mystery and suspense， and you know we have a good book。 I loved going back to Rock Harbor and， even though Bree and Kade aren't the MCs anymore， they still feature prominently。 And honestly， it is time for someone new。 I'm glad everyone from before is around to interact with Annie Pedersen。 Annie witnessed and experienced the traumatic abducti Colleen Coble is BACK with a SERIES set in ROCK HARBOR！！！！ Can you tell I'm excited？ Add to that the fact that I could not put this book down with all the mystery and suspense， and you know we have a good book。 I loved going back to Rock Harbor and， even though Bree and Kade aren't the MCs anymore， they still feature prominently。 And honestly， it is time for someone new。 I'm glad everyone from before is around to interact with Annie Pedersen。 Annie witnessed and experienced the traumatic abduction of her sister at a young age and it has been a driving and defining force in her life ever since。 A single mom after even more tragedy， she is trying to keep the family business alive， work as a park ranger， and be there for her nine-year-old daughter， Kylie。 When her husband's best friend - and her ex-fiance - returns to town， the past has to be dealt with in more ways than one。This was a good intro to a new series。 I enjoyed getting to know Annie and Kylie and Jon。 With this book not being a stand-alone， we are building a larger storyline， but this book did have it's own case of a couple of missing girls from many years before。 I suspected from the earliest moments about Kylie and I also had suspicions about Taylor too。 I did not see the identity of the villain（s）。 What's interesting about all of this， is that we have similar things going on， but not one person can have done it all。 I have some suspicions but will have to wait to see if things go the way I'm thinking。I will eagerly await the next book in this series！Many thanks to NetGalley for a copy of this book。 All opinions are my own and a favorable review was not required。 。。。more

I loved returning to Rock Harbor in Colleen Coble’s latest novel。 The setting is richly detailed。 The characters three dimensional with cares and joys。 And the layers of mystery are richly drawn。

Colleen Coble definitely knows how to write suspense！ There is certainly a lot of it in this book。 Annie's sister is kidnapped at the beginning。 Then fast forward to when she is an adult。 There are campers attacked。 Annie has lost her parents and her husband。 There were girls kidnapped nine years ago。 There is a lot going on。。。。and who is doing it？ Her old boyfriend？ Someone new？ You are constantly kept guessing！ Great book！I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am voluntarily revie Colleen Coble definitely knows how to write suspense！ There is certainly a lot of it in this book。 Annie's sister is kidnapped at the beginning。 Then fast forward to when she is an adult。 There are campers attacked。 Annie has lost her parents and her husband。 There were girls kidnapped nine years ago。 There is a lot going on。。。。and who is doing it？ Her old boyfriend？ Someone new？ You are constantly kept guessing！ Great book！I received an advanced reader copy of this book and am voluntarily reviewing it。 。。。more

This book is so good！ I get excited every time I see that she has written another book！ I started reading her books a few years ago and I am amazed at how much better her books are now！ I always think about taking it slow， but before I realize， I have read the entire book in just a few hours。 I believe this is the first book in a series。 But， none of them keep you hanging。Thank you so much， NetGalley for giving me this book to read and review！ I cannot wait for the next one！

I am a big Colleen Coble fan ~ this is my seventeenth novel by her。This is Book #1 in the Annie Pederson series。Annie is a thirty-three year old law enforcement ranger and the Manager of the Tremolo Resort and Marina in Rock Harbor ~ which she inherited when her parents died。 （Note: If you are a Colleen Coble fan you know that her “Rock Harbor” was a great series！ Annie and her eight-year old daughter Kylie live alone as Annie’s husband died in a suspicious boating accident。Colleen Coble doe I am a big Colleen Coble fan ~ this is my seventeenth novel by her。This is Book #1 in the Annie Pederson series。Annie is a thirty-three year old law enforcement ranger and the Manager of the Tremolo Resort and Marina in Rock Harbor ~ which she inherited when her parents died。 （Note: If you are a Colleen Coble fan you know that her “Rock Harbor” was a great series！ Annie and her eight-year old daughter Kylie live alone as Annie’s husband died in a suspicious boating accident。Colleen Coble doesn’t disappoint she comes through with a twist！Now I have to wait for Book #2 in the Annie Pederson series！！BTW: I loved all the gluten free options。 I have a serious wheat allergy which most people don’t understand however， since ‘gluten free’ is also ‘wheat free’ folks ‘get it’ when I ask for gluten free！Want to thank NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for this eGalley。 This file has been made available to me before publication in an early form for an honest professional review。 Publishing Release Date scheduled for July 12， 2022。 。。。more

This is a suspenseful read with a satisfying romantic story。 I loved the setting of the upper Peninsula on Lake Superior。 I struggled a bit with the protagonist; she is in law enforcement， yet she is constantly getting rescued by the romantic lead。 This book is aimed at christian readers， but the spirituality is subtly woven into the plot， and readers of all faiths will enjoy it。

A new series by Colleen Coble starts with "A Edge of Dusk" and thanks to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson I was able to read it early。 This one leaves you wanting more。 I enjoyed this one， but it did take a bit to get into the story。 Once I got into the story， I couldn't put it down。 Now I can't wait to get to the next one。 I do wish that some of the story didn't wait until the end to find out。 But leaving it to the end will get you ready for the next book。 This series， I think would be great to have A new series by Colleen Coble starts with "A Edge of Dusk" and thanks to Netgalley and Thomas Nelson I was able to read it early。 This one leaves you wanting more。 I enjoyed this one， but it did take a bit to get into the story。 Once I got into the story， I couldn't put it down。 Now I can't wait to get to the next one。 I do wish that some of the story didn't wait until the end to find out。 But leaving it to the end will get you ready for the next book。 This series， I think would be great to have the whole series to read at one time。 #AEdgeofDusk #NetGalley #ThomasNelson 。。。more
