Summary: This one was even better than the first in the series
Review: The first book was a little slower in getting started mainly I think to introduce the characters. I really liked the second book better because right from the first page it got you into the story. I could not go to bed until I finished the last page. I can't wait until the next book in the series comes out which I hope won't be too long.

Summary: Intense and Riveting
Review: Unfortunately, I read this book before the first in the series, but still found it compelling and stayed up late a few nights, unable to put it down. Terry's characters are life-like in their struggles with faith and the difficulties that life throws at them. And like a dog thrown a bone that he can't get to, because a fence separates him from his desire, so Blair struggles between the facts and what she knows to be the truth about her friend, Cade, Police Chief of Cape Refuge, when he vanishes, leaving behind his vehicle. He was last seen with the wife of a man that he had run over and that had a bullet wound, and then died of his injuries. Cade's disappearance leaves the town confused and somewhat worried, until evidence points to him. Blair, one of the few who truly believes in his innocence, stubbornly pursues the truth about his disappearance, fearing for his life and struggles with doubts about the God, Cade believes in. Time is of the essence. But time is running out and she becomes desperate. Then his disappearance becomes even more complicated when he is accused of being involved in the disappearance of several babies. Can she trust God to deliver Cade? Will she listen to those who tell her to quit interfering and let the police do their work, even when she is in imminent danger? You'll have to read the book to find out. This will have you on the edge of your seat and is compelling to the very end.

Summary: This book should come with a warning!
Review: Well I didn't think it was possible, but Terri Blackstock has out done her previous book, Cape Refuge. This second in the series will hold your interest from the first few pages.
When Chief of Cape Refuge Police Department, Matthew Cade, is called to divert traffic around a downed power line in the middle of a storm, his day doesn't end the way he expects it to. With lightening bolts almost constant, and wind and rain coming down so hard umbrellas are useless, he cautiously makes his way through the pouring rain.
As he navigates traffic he notices a man standing on the opposite side of road, being splashed by the passing cars. He wonders why the man doesn't move. When cars don't clear the way for him, Cade decides to pass the car ahead. Carefully he pulls out in the southbound lane with traffic coming towards him, thankfully they pulled over to make way. As he passes the car he tries to see who is driving, when he turns his attention back to the road, it's too late to react, the man on the curb steps onto the road - right in front of Cade's car!
After the impact Cade rushes to the man's side, an ambulance is called and the man is rushed to hospital, where he later dies. The autopsy reveals the man had a gun shot wound. However that doesn't stop Cade from blaming himself for the man's death.
A day after the accident, Cade turns up missing! Has he disappeared to lick his wounds, or has something very sinister happened to him?
Sadie, Morgan and Jonathon's foster daughter is having a difficult time adjusting to school. The other kid's ignore her because of her past. When Trevor, a fellow student with his own shady past, shows an interest in Sadie, she can't resist. She is warned about his family and her guardians refuse to allow her to see Trevor.
Even though she is caught after sneaking out to attend a party with him, she secretly sneaks out again to attend a wedding with him.
Blair, Morgan's sister and a non-believer, is desperate to find Cade. The two have become very close after their parents' murder a few months earlier. Despite a written note, supposedly from Cade, Blair continues her search. She begins staking out the widow of the man who died after Cade's car hit him. Could this grieving widow have anything to do with Cade's disappearance?
After trying to get help from the Savannah police, Blair decides to take matter into her own hands. Even her sister can't stop her now. Will she uncover more than she thinks is behind those walls? And who is kidnapping all the newborn from surrounding hospitals?
This story has so many twists and turns you won't be able to put it down. This book should come with a warning - "Don't pick up, unless you can read it cover to cover!"
