Title of Book: Southern Storm Click on the title in order to purchase your copy or view product details. By Terri Blackstock “He didn’t make it…He had multiple injuries,” the surgeon said. “A very serious head injury, and the gunshot wound through his torso.” Cade stared at him blankly for a moment. “No, there was no gunshot…He was walking and he came out in front of me--.” The surgeon shook his head. “He was shot, all right. Maybe that’s why he stumbled out in front of you.” “You mean, he was already shot, trying to wave down help? And I came along and ran him down?” Southern Storm, by Terri Blackstock, is the second in the Cape Refuge Series. Southern Storm starts with the hero, Cade, running down a pedestrian. Shocked and grief stricken, Cade is suddenly under scrutiny from every direction. There are people who say it wasn’t an accident. And when Cade is seen talking with the widow of the man he killed, and then Cade disappears, the town where he is the highly respected Chief of Police, turns on him. Only a handful of friends stick by him. The rumor is, he killed the man and ran off with his widow. Blair knows Cade’s decency and defends him, even when it costs her her job as the town’s librarian. Blair is the type of heroine I love the most. She is courageous and tough. She sticks her neck out, even after it becomes clear there are people willing to chop her head off. There are babies missing from area hospitals, uncooperative FBI agents and a hostile, suspicious City Council. The book has the usual red tape hampering the cops from searching where Blair knows they need to search. A lot of that is fairly predicable. What lifts Southern Storm above the norm is Blair’s fierce loyalty to a man she could be falling in love with, and her willingness to risk everything to save him. Southern Storm moves fast as Cade fights for his life against ruthless villains, and Blair races against time to find him and save him before the bad guys point all the evidence toward the missing policeman and arrange to have his body turn up. Southern Storm is one of the newer style of Inspirational novels that are beginning to appear. It doesn’t shy away from action and tough issues, but Blackstock grounds her novel in Christian characters and avoids the graphic sex and coarse language that permeates so much of modern fiction. I’d rate Southern Storm Worth Reading Plus. Reprinted from the Lyons Mirror-Sun |
