If I Live

I had heard good things about Terri Blackstock and so on an off chance, I picked up the first two books in this If I Run series. By the time I was half way through book two I was very glad to know I didn't have long to wait for this final book to be downloaded on my Kindle because I had on pre-order.If you enjoy a good clean thriller and action book you will not be disappointed. I may not sleep tonight but has been absolutely worth it!!

Just what I wanted...

great

4.5"Fried rice isn't worth dying for."Indeed. Casey Cox is an innocent fugitive, and she is on the run again. Disguising her appearance multiple times, Casey has managed to keep one step ahead of those who know that the truth will never set them free.Dylan Roberts, an investigator hired initially to apprehend Casey, has become her solitary confidante and friend; his life hanging precariously in the balance aside hers, while he tries to dodge corruption in the Shreveport, Louisiana police department and gather enough evidence to bring justice to all.Fans of Blackstock's first two books featuring Casey Cox and Dylan Roberts will be pleased to know that the conclusion to the now infamous "If I Run" series is just as climatic as it should be; terrifying, satisfying and gratifying.All things do work together for good. All things.

as expected

If I Live is the last of a trio of cliffhanger suspense thrillers by Terri Blackstock. I usually don't care for multiple points of view, but this author has used the tactic quite well, while also using present tense narration. I can't believe how much I loved this series! I highly recommend buying all three at once so there will be no gaps in the storyline. You can settle your blood pressure after finishing book three. Blackstock has outdone herself with this excellent series.

Wow Wow Wow - Terri Blackstock’s If I Run Series has been quite the wild ride right back to book 1 and I for one have really enjoyed it. From it’s tense beginnings through to the tension packed middle section as the tangled web of intrigue and suspense slowly unravelled itself to it incredibly satisfactory conclusion.Book 3 has a lot of story to get though with the ‘baddies’ always a bare breath away from our hero’s and Casey’s only hope is the very one who was chasing her down down os many books ago! But Dylan is now heart and soul behind Casey and determined to see her vindicated but more importantly - alive. And with this tales twists and turns that is not a sure bet whatsoever.This is a series I will happily dive into again to discover the nuances that I may have missed in the initial read through. I can’t recommend highly enough......if your heart can take the tension.I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher as part of the Thomas Nelson/ Zondervan Fiction Guild. I was not required to post a positive review and the views and opinions expressed are my own.

I really loved this series. If I Live was the third and final book of the If I Run series. Casey is on the run again. She was hungry and someone see's and recognizes her in a Chinese restaurant. She is slippery as an eel and is running free for now. Dylan is trying to help her and he knows that the policemen, Keegan and his buddies are framing her and killing people to hide their secrets. This book is the last of the series so things are exciting and coming to a head. I don't want to give up to much but Casey gets caught and Keegan gets her and Dylan is hunting them down to save her. You will just have to read it to find out what happens. Will the truth be told? Will Casey get free? Will Keegan pay for what he has done. This book is so worth reading.

A beautiful end to a wonderful story! Terri did a fantastic job of concluding the series and keeping fans counting down feverishly to release day :)

A brilliant conclusion to the trilogy. A gripping story line throughout the 3 books. Lovely Christian theme. Very well written, Terri Blackstock an excellent story teller.

Finally! I have been dying (pardon the ironic pun) to read this since it released earlier this year. This is one of the best romantic suspense series I have ever read. Each of the three books in this series has had me glued to its pages until the end, and in the case of the first two in the series, wailing at the fact that I had to wait a WHOLE YEAR for the next in the series. But in all honesty, it was worth the wait. I loved the way Casey and Dylan’s relationship developed across the series—so unusual in some ways, and yet totally believable. The constant cat-and-mouse game was addictive; I never knew what was going to happen next. And the villain—truly heinous, not merely a caricatured villain. One of few truly psychopathic villains I’ve encountered (which is probably a very good thing *shudders*)My heart is still trying to settle back to its normal pulse rate now that I’ve finished. This was an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the series.

Five stars! As with the first two books in this series, this was amazing! I began the day it was released - amidst my busy day - and still finished it the next morning.The action and suspense were excellent and she does the various POVs so well. We felt the emotions, strengths, and weaknesses of the main characters.Casey’s journey to knowing the Lord was something that was a beautiful thing to witness. Dylan’s journey to recommitting his life was also beautiful.I have to add that the Author’s Note at the end of the book needs to be read. It really speaks volumes. We all have some anger, frustration, and a sense of being overwhelmed with problems. No matter what, God is with us even through the darkest days.... if we let Him. This series is a challenge to us all to let go and trust God for guidance and His presence through all things.I highly recommend this series!!!

I read the whole series of “I Run”. It’s one of those that you can’t put down. I stayed up late more than one evening, but the lack of sleep was worth it. The story is very well-told, the good guys are heroes and totally human at the same time, the bad guys are formidable. The twists and turns are heart-stopping. There is a beautiful theme of God working in Casey’s life, and she discovers her precious value in the midst of adversity. What’s not to love?
