Book Review: Vicious Cycle by Terri Blackstock


Vicious Cycle will have your attention from the first page!  This is book number two in the Intervention series.  I love reading a book that is hard to put down, and this book is just that!  Blackstock writes this book from the perspective of Lance, the 15-year old brother of Emily from Intervention  (Book 1).

Lance tries to help a pregnant, teenage meth addict and finds himself in a situation he never dreamed he would be in.  He discovers a newborn baby in the back of his car and knows that it belongs to Jordyn.  We follow the family through the snares of drug addiction and the harsh realities of crimes that go on in today's society such as baby trafficking.

We also are able to rejoice as Emily completes her year of drug rehab and gets to come home.  We see how hard it is for her to be released from her "safe place" and be back in society where drugs are so easy to come by.  Drug addiction truly is a vicious cycle.  It is only with God's help and putting 100% of our faith and trust in HIM that one can overcome the evils of today's world.   

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zondervan.  All opinions expressed about Vicious Cycle are my own.  I hope that you enjoy reading this book as much as I did!  I highly recommend this book to you and look forward to reading book three in this series!  :)
