Rating: Summary: Another Winner for Blackstock Review: The Newpointe 911 series is just what I needed. Intelligent, fast paced thrillers from a Christian author. Who would've "thunk" it. I was searching for books that I could read and not have to skip whole passages, pages or even chapters to avoid explicit violence, sex and language. To find that and not have to sacrifice the type of plot lines and genre of reading that I enjoy was indeed a blessing. In this, the fourth of the series, we find bad girl, Issie Mattreaux, fighting her attraction to the town's pastor, Nick Foster. And, Nick is fighting just as hard. However, the Lord just keeps bringing them together. Their relationship in itself is enough to make you want to read the book, but add on a mystery set in a small town in Louisiana and revolving around the firefighters, cops, and rescue units and you have a recipe for a winner. The book also makes a strong statement on the effects of peer pressure and how kids can be lead astray. It also doesn't wimp out and make the ending one that is always perfect in the eyes of the world. However, it does show how bad things happen to good people and how good can come out of it. The only downside is that the next book isn't out yet. But, you can always re-read the first three books in the series, "Private Justice", "Word of Honor" and "Shadow of Doubt".
Rating: Summary: Trial By Fire Review: This book is going to blow you away. How does Terri Blackstock do it? I started reading the whole set and couldn't put them down. She captivates the reader constantly on the edge but also a wholesome setting. I really appreciated that there wasn't any foul language and in good taste without it sounding cheesy or corny. The whole set is really good! I highly reccommend them!
Rating: Summary: Loved it! Review: This book, the last in Blackstock's Newpoint 911 series is fabulous as all of the previous in the series were! She is an amazing writer and I recommend this book to anyone! I would also recommend: The Second Chances Series & The Sun Coast Chronicles Series both by Terri Blackstock. GREAT READS!:)
Rating: Summary: Still trying to figure out if I like it... Review: While I consider this average reading, especially with it's predictability factor...I have still found myself finishing the series. Obviously something draws me back to it. I do like TB's afterword thoughts and appreciate her faith, but as for being a challenging and mysterious read with turns and twists, none of this they are...But, still must support the effort...
