Lyme Books Guide
Over the Edge: A Novel by Brandilyn Collins
This was the first full-length Lyme book that I read. In fact, I listened to the audio version of this thrilling medical mystery as I awaited the results of my Lyme tests.
“Wow!” I thought. “This author really knows what it’s like to have Lyme!” I later discovered she had battled the debilitating disease too.
I recommend it to readers who enjoy suspense or want to learn more about the Lyme wars or what it’s like to have Lyme. Click here for the Kindle, here for the paperback, and here for the audiobook.
