IF I RUN . . . Riveting Inspirational Suspense from Terri Blackstock

Casey Cox is running for her life . . . and she didn’t do it.

But those who did aren’t about to take the fall.

Casey has had to deal with more tragedy than one person should have to endure.  First, she finds her father hanging by the neck in the dining room.  Then her best friend Brian, who was investigating the “alleged suicide” on her behalf, is brutally murdered.  And Casey’s DNA is all over the crime scene.

Dylan Roberts, a recently discharged Army CID investigator diagnosed with PTSD, is also interested in Brian’s death.  They practically grew up together.  The police force is limited in what it can investigate, due to budgetary concerns.  And Brian’s family wants answers.  With nothing but time on his hands, and a longing for justice in his heart, Brian takes up the investigation on the family’s behalf. 

What initially began as a cross-country manhunt slowly evolves into a full-blown investigation, and for each answer that Dylan finds, more questions emerge.  And by the time the questions are all answered, the definition of “justice” has taken on a surprising aspect.

Just when you think you’ve got Terri Blackstock “pegged,” she’ll pull the rug right out from underneath ya!

The writing style and format of IF I RUN is unlike anything I’ve come across . .  .but it works!  As the story “weaves” its way back and forth between the two main characters, you will find yourself “woven in” as well.  And putting the book down after you’ve started reading? 

Good luck with that.

If I Run Terri Blackstock

ANNABEL LEE by Mike Nappa . . . Suspenseful Fiction At Its Best!

“Uncle Truck keeps a German shepherd on his farm that’ll eat human fingers if you feed’em to it just right.”

When a work of fiction opens like that, you really only have one option – you have to find out “what happens next.”

Annabel Lee is an “educated girl,” caught up in the maelstrom of special operations conducted by clandestine agencies whose titles are spelled out by letters in the alphabet.  And she is the possessor of a secret so guarded that even she doesn’t know what it is.

To share any more with you would spoil the surprises that abound.  Get the book.  Read it.  And then spend the next two to three weeks letting the possibilities roll around inside your head.  I know I did.

Step Out On THIN ICE by Irene Hannon

Irene Hannon has penned a suspenseful tale that will leave you delightfully wrung out and strung out . . . in a good way!  Make sure you have plenty of stuff to snack on . . .and put on that extra pot of coffee.  Because once you step out on THIN ICE, it's too late to change your mind. 

Christy Reed has known her share of grief, pain and loss.  Robbed of the opportunity to compete for an Olympic medal, Christy then faced the double tragedy of losing her parents in a car accident and her sister to a house fire.

Or did she?  A nondescript envelope re-opens old wounds, and forces Christy to once again summon up every ounce of strength and energy she possesses in order to deal with the matters at hand.

Fortunately . . . Christy is not alone.

FBI Special Agent Lance McGregor, a former Delta Force operator, is assigned to reopen the case, but he's coming up with more questions than answers. If Ginny Reed is still alive--who is the woman buried in her grave? Where is Ginny? And what does the kidnapper want with Christy?  Is she merely collateral damage . . . or the focus of the kidnapper's rage?

Written in Irene Hannon's oh-so-familiar style, THIN ICE fairly crackles with tension as Special Agent McGregor and Christy Reed seek answers to the questions that have been placed before them.  The hero and heroine are genuinely human, and the villain is genuinely evil!  You've been warned!

And for the romantic at heart, it should be comforting to know that there is more than one fire burning!


5 stars for edge-of-your seat tension and mystery!
