Customer Reviews

Love this Series

It is a breath of fresh air to be able to enjoy a book for the story line without fear of being forced to read trash. I could not put this series down until finished. I immediately purchased all books in the Newpointe 911 series and once again hooked!

Love this series!

Terri writes very suspenseful novels that really hold your attention. Couldn’t put this down! Love the Owen girls and how passionately they live their lives. Start with Cape Refuge to begin from the beginning. You will not be disappointed.

Praise for book 2

I love books in series. Whenever I finish a book that I have enjoyed, I want more. I like the way that Blackstock introduces a few more characters in each book and gives you a chance to get to know them before the next book. Her characters are believable and I admire their "humanness" (if that's a word). She does a very good job of working the scripture theme into the books without jamming it down your throat. Her books give me a reason to pause and reflect. Good job, Terri! Book 2 is a hit with me.

Awesome!

I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, Cape Refuge, and was looking forward to reading this book. I must say that I was not disappointed! In fact, Terri Blackstock created a true masterpiece! I was another reader who couldn't put it down, staying up until all hours of the night to finish it. I have recommended this series to several people and have gotten interest from many of them. I have found this series to be a great witnessing tool! Wow, just a fantastic book!!

Great second book of her Cape Refuge series

SOUTHERN STORM is the second book of Terri Blackstock's "Cape Refuge" series. Blackstock is a renowned Christian writer who offers her books free to any readers not happy with her talent. During a storm on Cape Refuge, Cade, the police chief, runs over a strange man. The autopsy reveals that the man had been shot before he was run over. Within hours Cade disappears and Blair, good friend and town librarian, seems to be the only person in town worried. Blackstock entices readers with her action-packed plots, her warm natural characters and her realistic dialogue. As Blair uses her stubborn persistence to locate Cade, she is slowly drawn toward the God she wasn't always sure existed. Terri Blackstock is a gifted writer and SOUTHERN STORM is a sure best-seller.Beverly J Scott author of "Righteous Revenge" and "Ruth Fever."

A Great Blackstock Classic

I read this book and found myself having a hard time putting it down. Terri Blackstock clearly has a knack for the whodunit, but what separates her from others is that she so carefully weaves in the faith element. In Southern Storm, as in her other works, the transformation in the lives of Karen, Sadie, and Blair are as important if not greater than finding the murderer and rescuing Cade. I strongly recommend her books because they satisfy the reader's urge for great literature and yet he leaves feeling spiritually refreshed--as if it is not just a wasted excercise. What also is refreshing and encouraging is the way Terri deals with grown-up issues and tough life situations with grace rather than judgmentalism. In Southern Storm, you get the idea that these are real people dealing with real issues and real fears. Even the strongest Christians battle doubt and discouragment and even question the will of God. The reader feels kinship with the heroes and heroines who identify with everyday life struggles. If you're hooked on reading, but would rather part with trashy romance novels, look no further than Terri Blackstock. It will be an experience you'll not soon forget.

Wow, just when I thought Terri wrote her best!

I read this book in two nights. It would have been one but I had to go to work the next day. Terri did some real changes to her plot writing on this one, and added more twits then the windiest road. The second half was so intense your heart skips a beat and your palms get sweaty. I suggest wearing gloves on the second half. j/k. I highly recommend this book! But only if you read Cape Refuge, you will be lost otherwise. The worst part of this is that I have to wait a couple of months for the next in the series.
