"If I'm Found" by Terri Blackstock

I received this book for free from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

"If I’m Found" by Terri Blackstock is the second Christian Fiction thriller in a series (If I Run).  I love Terri Blackstock’s books because they depict the struggles and sin of real life. 

“If I’m Found” picks up immediately where the first book ends… with Casey fleeing from authorities after helping Laura Daly and her child to escape. The book follows their attempts to get evidence to exonerate Casey from Brent’s murder (the thing that started her running in the first book).  Casey is very resourceful and it is interesting read how she evades those searching for her.

Casey can’t turn off her desire to help others. Once again, she is almost caught and comes close to being murdered because of her need. At times, you want to yell at her to just stop and do what she needs to do to survive.

If you or someone you love suffers from PTSD, parts of this book may be hard to read. However, Ms. Blackstock writes of the disorder and ways to help those suffering. Hunting Casey and then assisting her gives Brent a purpose.

This book is Christian Fiction and the author discusses how to be saved and feel God speaking to you. She talks about prayers and how “none of those prayers go unheard. They might not be answered like you hope or think they should be.” “You might ask for a car, and God gives you a bicycle.” She also explains what it means to be “washed in the blood.” These passages are beautifully written.

I have read the first book in this series, too and can’t wait to read the next one to find out how Casey and Dylan are going to get enough evidence to finally put Keegan, Rollins and their buddies away! Notice the book covers when they are side by side as they make a cool larger picture. Truly enjoyed the note from the author. Read it and practice “intentional gratitude”!
