About this audiobook
When your worst fear comes true.Someone is watching Kaycee Raye. But who will believe her? Everyone knows she’s a little crazy. Kaycee’s popular syndicated newspaper column pokes fun at her own paranoia and multiple fears. The police in her small town are well aware she makes money writing of her experiences. Worse yet, she has no proof of the threats. Pictures of a dead man mysteriously appear in her home—then vanish before police arrive. Multisensory images flood Kaycee’s mind. Where is all this coming from?Maybe she is going over the edge. High action and psychological suspense collide in this story of terror, twists, and desperate faith. The startling questions surrounding Kaycee pile high. Her descent to answers may prove more than she can survive.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5As we expect from this best-selling author, Exposure is an interesting and tense mystery /crime drama. The character Kaycee Raye is overwhelmed with fear every minute of every day of her life, and as the reader, I couldn’t help but feel that fear with her all through the book. There were twists and turns in the story along the way, but in the end, all of it comes together until it is proven that even paranoids can have real enemies. I had no clue ahead of time to the twists in the storyline and the surprise added to my enjoyment of the book. Again Zondervan publishes a wonderful fiction book that demonstrates people who struggle with doubts and fears, but rely on their faith to get them through.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Great book with an interesting twist.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A fast-paced suspenseful read, but I was disappointed that some of the mysterious happenings weren't accounted for at the end.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I picked up this book as a fluke (it was free). After I started reading it I realized (based on publisher not content) that the Ms. Collins is classified as a Christian Suspense writer - not something I would normally pick up. I was wonderfully suprised, the book was amazing. It was so gripping that I could not put it down. The references to prayer and faith fit naturally into the story. I will definitely read other works written by this author

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5“Feed your faith and your fears will starve to death“- from Brandilyn Collins newest novel “Exposure“.What can make paranoid columnist Kaycee Raye confront her many irrational fears of, well, you name it – just about everything?A missing child named Hannah.As long as there are no events in Kaycee Raye’s life that propel her to deal with her own devasting fears, she was content to abide them, even make a living as a columnist conmiserating with the world her own devastations from day to day.But then Hannah, Kaycee’s young friend, decides to run away and sets off for Kaycee’s house and gets abducted in the night. A uncommon event in the small town of Wilmore, Kentucky.Forced to face the knowledge that her own fears may have resulted in Hannahs’ diappearance, Kaycee begins to gather courage as she assists in the police investigation to find Hannah.A seemingly unrelated parallel story is woven throughout the story of Kaycee and her tormentors. It is the story of Martin Giodonna, a hard working bank employee with a wife and a sick child, who agrees to assist the Mafia in a bank heist. In the after effects of the bank robbery, Martin’s wife Lorraine, and their daughter Tammy flee for their lives after Martin is shot dead in their home.Kaycee is certain that she is being watched, tormented, and pursued. She is. She is having disturbing dreams, discovering blood stained items in her car, watching photos disappear in her hands, seeing images on her computer and receiving terrifying notes that read “We see you.”What is pursuing Kaycee? This is the heart of Brandilyn Collins trademarked ‘Seatbelt Suspense’. You will enjoy the read as you attempt to the discover the villian.Throughout the story, Kaycee’s faith is revealed as these events build forcing her to use her faith to battle the source of her lifelong paranoia.I enjoyed this book immensely as I discovered why the first few words were “Perfect Love cast out all fear“.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My husband was away on a business trip recently, and there’s a rule of nature that says things will always break when he’s away. Light bulbs I can fix; blocked drains; computers that refuse to switch on. I’m really fairly independent. But come night-time, I walk round every room in the house, checking every electrical socket to make sure no plugs are falling out and no wiring’s getting warm. I check the cooker, double-check, run my hands over the top. I lock and relock the windows and doors, and look in the garage to see if the car’s okay. Then I listen to every creak and groan, the plumbing’s moan, the drips from the roof, the patter of critters in the yard.When I started reading Exposure, by Brandilyn Collins, I felt right at home. The protagonist, Kaycee, knows all about the fears of an empty house. She battles them by writing a humorous column in the paper, and I’m jealous; I want her job. But then things start to happen, little things with big impact and no evidence left behind. Maybe they’re just images from Kaycee’s subconscious mind. And maybe they don’t matter, because someone Kaycee cares for might turn out to be in real danger. Or maybe…Kaycee’s still checking windows and doors, closing curtains, and jumping at sounds that the house spins around her. And I’m jumping too. Jumping more when she sees “it” again.But hey! My husband’s home. I don’t need my night-time rituals. Still, Ms. Collins conveys Kaycee’s feelings so powerfully I find myself checking electrical outlets again. But I don’t switch out the light; I have to keep reading to the end.Exposure is a very satisfying novel. The twists and turns move naturally, leading the reader to guess and not quite guess, doubt and not quite doubt, till an ending that brings all the different threads together. Do people’s worst fears always happen? I have to believe they don’t, though I’m sure they sometimes do. And Ms. Collins’ novel reminds me that there’s ways to cope, and someone out there will hold my hand too if my world falls apart.I don’t want Kaycee’s job after all. Her column reads way better written by her. Read the book and I’m sure you’ll agree.
