Always Watching: The Rayne Tour
by Brandilyn & Amberly Collins
Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2009, 215 pp., paperback.

Renowned suspense author Brandilyn Collins has teamed up with her daughter Amberly for The Rayne Tour youth fiction two-book series. Inspired by their love of going to concerts, they wrote the books from the perspective of Shaley O'Connor, the sixteen-year-old daughter of rock star Rayne. While she enjoys aspects of touring, life is hard for a teen separated from her friends. She also struggles with the fact that she's never known her father.

Life on the road takes a terrible turn when one of the support team members is murdered backstage in San Jose. Then it gets worse when the killer appears to be after Shaley and the paparazzi can't get enough of the story.

The Rayne Tour series will appeal to high school students. Don't miss the interview my daughter and I had with Brandilyn and Amberly.
