Obsession by Patricia Bradley


 Obsession is the second in the Natchez Trace Park Rangers series. This book captured my interest from the beginning. The heroine Emma Winters has a stalker but I don't think she ever realized the danger she was in. She was formerly involved with Sam Ryker but broke off with him ten years earlier when her twin brother went missing. She holds on to the hope that her brother is still alive. Around 75 percent into the book I thought I knew who was the stalker but I was wrong. There are some twists in turns in this book that keeps it interesting and suspenseful. I only got three hours of sleep one night because I wanted to finish this book. 

Aftermath by Terri Blackstock


I always jump at the chance to read a Terri Blackstock novel. An explosion happens at a concert. Taylor was there when it happened. She survived. Her friends did not and she has survivor's guilt. Complicating the problem is that the fact that she has OCD. Dustin Webb is immediately picked up after an anonymous tip that he may be responsible. He calls his friend Jaime Powell a childhood friend who is a criminal defense attorney. He had some rough times as a teenager getting into trouble but has since cleaned up his act, became a Christian and runs a successful business with his partner, Travis.

I has suspicions when reading the book as to who one of the culprits was and I was right. There are still some twists in the book that I did not see coming.

Fans of Terri Blackstock suspense novels will enjoy this book.

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Expected publication is May 11, 2021.
