Product DescriptionPolice Chief Cade disappears after hitting and killing a man with his car. Without a trace, without a note, without taking his car or clothes or money, he left. When a witness says he saw Cade into a blue Buick with a woman before her disappearance, the newspapers report that Cade left town to be with her. Blair knows he has no meaning for CADE to leave without word for any reason. The dead man was identified, and it quickly becomes clear that the woman was seen with Cade was the wife of the deceased. Newspapers are beginning to ask hard questions. Cape Refuge has been police chief for having an affair with this woman? Did he intentionally killed her husband, then make it look like an accident? When the police department receives a handwritten note from Cade that he ran away to marry a woman he has kept secret, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. But Blair notices his unusual signature: Matt Cade. Cade never goes by his first name, last year. . . More>>

I have not finished this book, but I am an avid reader and Terri Blackstock is like his other books, very suspensful and leave you only want to read. Which reminds me, I need to come down here, this book is waiting for you. Rating: 5 / 5
Blackstock creates a well-layered plot and tension animated character. Unfortunately, it often repeats phrases which initially descriptive, he had to look away to avoid laughing, become repetitive. I have not counted how many times this type of expression occurred in the book, but it was frequent. The repetition of descriptive phrases can be written predictable and frankly boring. The result is a “flat” story on character development. These are missed opportunities to add depth and sens.Elle does not fully develop scenes, either. It certainly could with his inventive plot! I was disappointed with the conflict that had built since the first sentence of the book was not the suspense it deserves. A fight with the protagonist could be exciting. Unfortunately, it does not progress to this stage, but becomes almost ennuyeux.Lorsque Gilbert Morris’ “Dani Ross Mystery” series are not conventional (avoiding the first book), they are much better read than the storm in the South. Rating: 2 / 5
Well, I did not think was possible, but Terri Blackstock has done out of his previous book, Cape Refuge. This second series will hold your interest from the first few pages-uns.Lorsque the Chief of Police of Cape Refuge, Matthew Cade, is expected to divert traffic around a fallen power line in the middle of a storm his day did not end as he wishes.

This book should come with a warning – “Do not pick up unless you can read cover to the” Revised by Katharine L. Kroeker, author of “Too Much for a Life: How to stay positive despite a physical disability Rating: 5 / 5
Warning: If you are a fan of Blackstock, please do not blast me for this review, I am too! But this book made me so frustrated that I had to force myself to finish it. Blair has not become more friendly since the first book and it is a problem because it is the main character. Indeed: there are no sympathetic characters in this book. This book seems to be driven plot that the characters are forced to commit any action if it appears in nature or not. I do not understand why Owen sisters live, even in Cape Refuge, everyone in town is mean and aristocrat. All the cops or agent in the book is a fool. Morgan is so passive, she spends most of his time either unaware of what is happening around her and sobbed. Blair is so aggressive, it is actually a woman that only God could love (hey, I have days like that too, but Blair seems to be stuck in a rut). It tramples on everyone and they yield to it, even when it makes no sense. I like the idea of Hanover House and Cape Refuge, but I’m not going to finish this series. I can not. Too many improbabilities and the power of Jesus’ message was lost. That said, I loved Newpoint 911, Sun Coast Chronicles, and many other books Blackstock, but this series is not worth your time. Rating: 2 / 5
The first book was a bit slow to start I think especially to introduce the characters. I liked the second book better because the first page, you entered history. I could not go to bed until I finished the last page. I can not wait for the next book in the series comes out which hopefully will not be too long. Rating: 5 / 5
