If I Run by Terri Blackstock Book Review

Casey Cox’s DNA is all over the crime scene. There’s no use talking to police; they have failed her abysmally before. She has to flee before she’s arrested .  or worse. The truth doesn’t matter anymore.

But what is the truth? That’s the question haunting Dylan Roberts, the war-weary veteran hired to find Casey. PTSD has marked him damaged goods, but bringing Casey back can redeem him. Though the crime scene seems to tell the whole story, details of the murder aren’t adding up. Casey Cox doesn’t fit the profile of a killer. But are Dylan’s skewed perceptions keeping him from being objective? If she isn’t guilty, why did she run?

Unraveling her past and the evidence that condemns her will take more time than he has, but as Dylan’s damaged soul intersects with hers, he is faced with two choices. The girl who occupies his every thought is a psychopathic killer . . . or a selfless hero. And the truth could be the most deadly weapon yet.


 

My thoughts:
 

What a wonderful book. It’s always so hard to find a good Christian suspense book that is well written. Terri Blackstock does it with such skill that keeps you going back for more of her books.

This time I think the author has out done herself. I loved, “If I Run”. I think it’s her best yet. Not only do I think this is her best but, the style of writing is completely different than any of her other books she has written. She wrote the story from a first person pretense going back and forth from the main characters Casey and Dylan. I have read books in this style before but, it didn’t work in my opinion and I was disappointed.

Terri made it feel as if you are the character and all the action going on. The plot, suspense, characters, and the surrounding just hit the mark right on. Lots of twist and turns and you didn’t know what to expect next. I was hooked from the first page and read the book in two days. I could have easily finished it in a day but, life happens and a mom has to take care of family.

This is defiantly one of my top favorite books. The ending is a complete cliff hanger. I hate cliff hanger as it makes me wait for the next book to come out. As far as cliff hangers go it was not what I expected considering all the events that lead up to the last page.

Terri thank you for an amazing story-you have outdid yourself. I can’t wait for the next story in this sequel. This book is due to be released on February 18, 2016
