Review: Aftermath

Aftermath by Terri Blackstock
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

Reading a Terri Blackstock novel is like drinking your favourite hot drink on a cold day or wearing your favourite jeans.

This was another enjoyable suspense. The action packed start, the twists and turns and the likeable characters who also has depth added to this story. Dustin, who was framed and fighting for his freedom and also from the mistakes he made in the past, was a relatable male lead. I enjoyed Jamie and how she fights for Dustin where everyone else just wants to condemn him.

Fans of Terri Blackstock will not be disappointed. And if you prefer your suspense with a light dash of romance, this will be right up your alley.

The audiobook was also very enjoyable and well performed.

Terri Blackstock is a New York Times best-seller, with over seven million books sold worldwide.. She has had over thirty years of success as a novelist.

Terri spent the first twelve years of her life traveling in a U.S. Air Force family. She lived in nine states and attended the first four years of school in The Netherlands. Because she was a perpetual “new kid,” her imagination became her closest friend. That, she believes, was the biggest factor in her becoming a novelist. She sold her first novel at the age of twenty-five, and has had a successful career ever since.

In 1994 Terri was writing romance novels under two pseudonyms for publishers such as HarperCollins, Harlequin, Dell and Silhouette, when a spiritual awakening prompted her to switch gears. At the time, she was reading more suspense than romance, and felt drawn to write thrillers about ordinary people in grave danger. Her newly awakened faith wove its way into the tapestry of her suspense novels, offering hope instead of despair. Her goal is to entertain with page-turning plots, while challenging her readers to think and grow. She hopes to remind them that they’re valued by God and that their trials have a purpose.
