You'll- Ignore- Everything- Else Suspense

If I Run by Terri Blackstock

  Casey Cox is running because she left lots of dna evidence at the   crime scene where her best friend was killed. She claims innocence but there is no chance that the truth will set her free.  Kill her?  Perhaps.
  
Dylan Roberts, friend of the murdered man, is hired to hunt Casey down.  As he gets closer, he learns more about Casey and begins to question what he has been told about her.  But why did she run if she isn’t the killer?

This book was very well-written.  The characters were well-drawn.  Blackstock fleshes out their personalities with innumerable details and made them feel like friends.  I found myself thinking about them after the book was done.

The plot kept me reading, especially the way she switched between Casey’s viewpoint and Dylan’s viewpoint.  I could tell that a collision was coming between the two of them, but was surprised at the outcome.

The relationship between this crime and Casey’s past added another layer of suspense.  The author slowly peeled back events revealing more details to pique the reader’s curiosity.


I loved this book and was very happy to learn that it is the first in a trilogy.  Blackstock leaves too many questions unanswered and doors opened to quit now!  Besides, I really liked Casey and wanted to know what the rest of her story was.  If you love suspense, you will relish this book.  I received a free copy for the publisher and this is my honest review.
