Book Review: Downfall by Terri Blackstock


Downfall, the third and final book in the Intervention Series, was my favorite of the three!  Once I started reading it, I didn't want to put it down.  The book was full of suspense and twists all the way to the end!  The Covington family has been through a lot of pain and trials in this series, but I love the way Blackstock opens the eyes of the reader to the reality of what drugs can do to a person and their family.  She writes these books as a mom who has personally experienced these same trials and emotions with her own daughter who had drug addictions.

Emily Covington and her younger brother discover a homemade bomb under her car one morning as she is leaving for school.  That same morning, the wife of someone she knows is murdered.  As she pieces things together, Emily finds herself racing the clock to save the lives of others and trying to track down the killer.  Because of her past with drug abuse, Emily's family has trouble trusting that she hasn't relapsed and brought this upon herself.  I love that the book ends with a wedding and happiness for the Covington family!

I received a copy of this book from Zondervan to read and review.  All opinions of this book are my own.  I highly recommend that you read this book and the rest of the of the series, too!  :)
