ABOUT THE BOOK<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nBarbara Covington has one more chance to save her daughter from a devastating addiction, by staging an intervention. But when eighteen-year-old Emily disappears on the way to drug treatment\u2014and her interventionist is found dead at the airport\u2014Barbara enters her darkest nightmare of all.<\/p>\n

Barbara and her son set out to find Emily before Detective Kent Harlan arrests her for a crime he is sure she committed. Fearing for Emily\u2019s life, Barbara maintains her daughter\u2019s innocence. But does she really know her anymore? Meanwhile, Kent has questions of his own. His gut tells him that this is a case of an addict killing for drugs, but as he gets to know Barbara, he begins to hope he\u2019s wrong about Emily.<\/p>\n

The panic level rises as the mysteries intensify: Did Emily\u2019s obsession with drugs lead her to commit murder\u2014or is she another victim of a cold-blooded killer?<\/p>\n

MY REVIEW:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Terri Blackstock’s books have been billed as Up All Night Fiction<\/strong><\/em>\u2122<\/strong> and I would agree that the description is perfect. I found myself staying awake until the wee hours because I couldn’t put Intervention<\/a> down – not even to sleep. Intervention<\/a> is everything a good suspense novel should be with well developed characters, a fast-moving plot, and even a hint of possible romance near the end.<\/p>\n

Intervention<\/a> is an intensely personal story fraught with emotion. Not only is Intervention<\/a> a riveting suspense with surprises around every corner but Blackstock gives the reader an intimate look at the inner thoughts of both Emily and her mother Barbara. The reader should gain a better understanding of the toll addiction takes on both addicts and the people who care about them – and the role faith can have in seeing them through the darkness. And just maybe that understanding might help prevent another loved one from the pain of addiction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
