This was a very good book!!
I enjoyed every word.

[Retania Patterson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very interesting and addicting book. Great for listening.

[Sharon Hunter · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I have always enjoyed Mrs. Blackstock’s books and appreciated her desire to share “unconditional love” but did find the plot to drag out a bit long. I appreciate good Christian suspense and still recommend her books.

I think I might have read this book once before (before I started a Shelfari shelf) because I figured out who the culprit was long before it was revealed (earlier than usual--about halfway through the book). I still enjoyed the book though. I wish the book had split a little better in following the inner thoughts of Lynda and Jake/the spiritual journeys of each/their budding friendship and love and the Paige/Brianna/Keith storyline.

I like Terri Blackstock's books. She has a good blend of suspense/mystery/romance etc. in her storylines.

Jake and Linda struggle to recover physically, emotionally, and spiritually as they piece their lives back together after a disastrous plane crash, but with a killer on the loose they're in for a hard battle.

Blackstock provides a good, fast-paced plot with a continuous string of life-changing, and life-threatening, events. It did seem a bit depressing for awhile when one catastrophe after another batters these characters, but the author's Christian perspective sheds a definite ray of hope. I generally liked the characters and the way they were presented as neither too perfect nor too flawed. The ending seemed a little too "happily-ever-after" to be entirely believable, but it makes for a nice feel-good conclusion. Overall, I enjoyed this book and will probably read others in this series.
