"Always Watching by Brandilyn and Amberly Collins is the first in The Rayne Tour series. The mother and daughter authors write about a mother and daughter in the midst of a terrifying murder mystery. Sixteen year old Shaley O'Connor is the daughter of Rayne, a top rock star, and along with a large crew they are touring the US. Shaley has learned to make the best of life on the road, especially by bonding with Tom, her mother's makeup artist. But her world suddenly spins out of control when she finds Tom's body in a dressing room, and the search for his murderer turns up secrets that Rayne would rather keep hidden. Someone is stalking Shaley, and there's far more to this murder than meets the eye. The authors keep the pages turning briskly with a plot full of twists and turns; I think my jaw dropped on every other page. They've created a realistic teenage girl in Shaley. She alternately loves and hates her mother, stresses about her body image, and wants security more than anything in her life. I don't think she'll be finding any of that soon in the ongoing series; the authors have set up lots of subplots and mysteries that will keep Shaley running for a long time."

" Nice mystery. Good for youth but enjoyable for adults as well. "

" This was a free book from Kindle - and now I know why...the end is a cliffhanger! If you dont want to buy the second book - dont read the first :) "

" Disappointing story. Wouldn't recommend. "
— Linda, 1/11/2014 -
" Blergh! Did NOT like this book. A lot of "tell not show." There were several themes running through the book with no cohesion. Meh. Glad it was free; but a waste of my time. "

" I don't appreciate books that pretend to be something other than what they are. If I had checked, prior to reading, that this book was published by Zondervan, I would not have started it. When one character starts discussing her Christian beliefs, I first thought, perhaps, this is just character development. However, as the book progressed, I realized that the story is a thin disguise at trying to sway young girls to a deep belief in Jesus as God and Savior. Although I have no problems with that belief, I do have a problem with a book aimed at young people of all faiths trying to push any singular religious belief on the reader. Ethically, the cataloging should at least have shown Christian books. "

" Mother/daughter writing team, more to come.But I won't be reading any more! Wanted to stop about half way through, but did manage to finish it. "

" a good clean teen mystery "
— Janet, 9/12/2013 -
" Good young adult story. The only downside is that it just stops - doesn't end. In order to discover the real ending you must read the rest of the trilogy. Since this was a Kindle freebie and the other two are pretty pricey - it wasn't that good. "
— Carol, 9/9/2013 -
" I read this straight through in one sitting! It is a page turner that keeps you guessing until the end. I can't wait to read the next book! "
— Sara, 7/7/2013 -
" Another great book from this author. "
— Jini, 7/2/2013 -
" This was written by a mother/ daughter team. It was a bit too young adult for my liking. It was part 1 of 3, and honestly could have put all parts into 1 nice sized novel and still would have worked for a young adult book with some fine tuning. Writing was very simple. "
— Tracy, 4/30/2013 -
" This is a book I won at this site and am just starting to read it. So far it is interesting. "

" it was really creepy...the beginning wasn't that good but i couldn't put it down near the end. can't wait to read the next one! "
— Elizabeth, 10/28/2011 -
" Not a bad book...I picked it up free on the Amazon Kindle Store. It leaves you at a cliffhanger so you have to get the next book to find out the end of the story. Time will tell if I make that investment... "
— Tina, 10/27/2011 -
" not my favorite read of the summer, but some of my students might appreciate this title... "
— Mrs.b, 8/6/2011 -
" They died because of her? Or everyone that loves her is bound to die, two and counting... "
