Description
New York Times bestselling suspense author Terri Blackstock explores complicated what if? questions in this thriller. What if you attended a concert with your best friends where a bomb exploded? What if all the evidence made it appear that you were a terrorist--but you knew you were innocent?
Three best friends attend a concert. Only one makes it out alive.
When police stop Dustin Webb with a warrant to search his trunk, he knows there's been a mistake. He's former military and owns a security firm. But he's horrified when the officers find explosives, and he can't fathom how they got there.
Criminal attorney Jamie Powell was Dustin's best friend growing up. They haven't spoken since he left for basic training, but she's the first person he thinks of when he's arrested. Jamie knows she's putting her career on the line by defending an accused terrorist, but she'd never abandon him. Someone is framing Dustin to take the fall for shocking acts of violence . . . but why?
Aftermath takes off on the very first page and keeps you glued to the edge of your seat all the way until the end with a plot that keeps you guessing, complex layers of friendship, a relentless quest for justice, the sting of betrayal, and a second-chance romance.
"A solid mystery with a romantic undercurrent. Subtle reminders of God's love are sprinkled throughout the story." --WORLD Magazine
"Blackstock keeps the suspense high throughout. Readers will have a tough time putting this nail-biter down." --Publishers Weekly

I love terri blackstock books! Aftermath is no exception. Terri's blackstock novel is the perfect mix of faith, romance and suspense. I was hooked from page 1. It is well written and has engaging characters. I drawn into this story and I couldn't put this one down. I can't wait to read the next terri blackstock book. Thanks netgalley for this arc!
Sue G, Reviewer
AFTERMATH is a legal thriller which shows TERRI BLACKSTOCK at her best. It is an exciting read with great characters and a strong Christian message in which we see God's grace and restoration, and His gift of second chances to those who follow Him.
When Dustin Webb is framed for the explosion at a concert and political rally. he calls a childhood friend, Jamie Powell, to defend him. She is a lawyer in a big firm and has to talk the partners into letting her take the case.
Taylor Reid is a young girl who survives the explosion and feels guilty for escaping when her two best friends did not make it.
Travis Grey is Dustin's best friend and a partner in their high powered security firm. He has his own problems with his wife, the mother of his two year old twin sons, who is in hospital dying of leukemia.
Two more characters we find in the mix are Avery, Jamie's daughter, and Dude, Dustin's boisterous and loving black Labrador.
The scene is set and you will have to read the book to find out more!
The story is fast paced and I guarantee it will keep you up until you have read the last page. I highly recommend Aftermath to anyone who enjoys a good romantic thriller.
I was given a free copy of the book by NetGalley from Thomas Nelson. The opinions in this review are completely my own.
