Customer Reviews

This item NOT in package.

In this package were The Wedding (which I ordered) and a book titled 1-2-3 Magic Effective Discipline for Children 2-12 (which I did NOT order). Please send Cape Refuge---the book I ordered and paid for. Thank you.

Fantastic series!

I really cannot see more than the below have said. Great book! And the series keeps up the suspensefulness to the end.

The Cape Refuge Series

When I find out about a good series, I try to read them in order but it's time consuming to find the order in which they're written. So, I'm going to provide that for anyone else who's interested. Read the Cape Refuge Series in this order: Cape Refuge Southern Storm Rivers Edge Breaker's Reef This is an excellent series of stories following characters you'll soon realize you care deeply about. Truly an enjoyable experience.

I could hardly put it down!

Well, I've been reading Terri Blackstock's books for several years now, first the Sun Coast series then the Newpointe 911 series. After reading Cape Refuge, I think I may have to bump Sue Grafton from the top of my favorite contemporary authors list. Blackstock is a consistent winner. The characters in this book are all well developed, even the minor ones. The pacing is great. It doesn't suffer from that "plod along for 200+ pages then hurry up and solve the crime" problem that many modern mysteries do. I really can't recommend this book, and Blackstock, highly enough. If you like Christian mysteries, start reading this woman's work!

A Gripping Whodunnit!

Well, after deciding I needed to expand my repertoire of authors that I read, I happened to see Ms. Blackstock on a talk show--and she discussed briefly this new book. I had heard of her previous pseudonyms, used in the secular market, but never read her--they were romance. This book sounded perfect, and I was not disappointed! The characters are well developed, the storyline moves at a good pace, and as the reader approaches the end...you can't wait to find out...whodunnit? And what a twist! I read this over the span of 24 hours--I had to sleep and take care of my little ones, you know--and boy, was it satisfying! And I see it's Book 1 of a new series! Well, now I need to go back and read her Newpointe 911 series, as I wait for the next installment of Cape Refuge! If you like suspense, mystery and a "clean" read, you won't be disappointed with this one!

Captivating

Author Terri Blackstock once again displayes her supurb talent with this well written fast-paced suspenseful narrative. Her down-to-earth realistic characters capture your heart as they struggle with the unexpected and brutal murder of Thelma and Wayne Owens. The drama and dialogue in "Cape Refuge" will keep you reading long after midnight. This hard-to-put-down Christian novel will turn you into a Blackstock fan. "Cape Refuge" a memorable novel.Beverly J Scott author of Righteous Revenge

Surpassing Greatness

I first became hooked on Terri Blackstock when I read the "Newpointe 911" series. After that, I read her previous series, "SunCoast Chronicles". They were all great (Newpointe being far better), and this new series will have no problem living up to her name.I found the characters in Cape Refuge to be quite engaging. Unlike some previous books, this one didn't throw you at the bad guy right away. Some major plot twists keep you guessing for a while. (You may think it's this person, but then this person, but wait that person is lying...maybe...)A very awesome read and highly recommended.
