—James Scott Bell, bestselling author of the Mike Romeo thrillers
“Emotions, tensions, and suspense all run high in this fast-paced, edge-of‐your‐seat thriller.”
—RT Book Reviews, 41/2 stars, TOP PICK! for If I’m Found
“Crisp dialogue and unexpected twists make this compulsive reading, and a final chapter cliffhanger leaves things poised for a sequel.”
—Publishers Weekly for If I Run
“A fast-paced, thoroughly mesmerizing thriller . . . An enthralling read with an entirely unexpected conclusion makes the reader question if a sequel could be in the works.”
—NY Journal of Books for If I Run
“Few writers do mystery/suspense better than Terri Blackstock, so I leaped at the opportunity to read her latest . . . Needless to say, when Book Two comes out, there will be no ‘if’ about it. I’ll run to get in line.”
—Love & Faith in Fiction for If I Run
“If I Run is a gripping suspense novel. Both of the central characters are very appealing, engaging the reader . . . The tension is palpable throughout and doesn’t let up until the very end . . . Highly recommended.”
—Mysterious Reviews
“A story rich with texture and suspense, this family murder mystery unfolds with fast pacing, a creepy clown murder suspect, and threatening blog visitor to boot.”
—Publishers Weekly for Truth Stained Lies
