About this eBook

This gripping new thriller will leave you on the edge of your seat.

A devastating explosion.

Three best friends attend a concert. Only one makes it out alive.

A trunk full of evidence.

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.

An attorney who will risk it all for an old friend.

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 By Terri Blackstone It was a concert for a political rally that suddenly turned deadly. Guilt, accusations, and possible motive grip the media and into this fray an innocent man finds himself being framed for something he didn't do. With no one else he can trust he turns to the only person who has always believed in him - but is Jamie Powell up for the chaos that is about to come her way? Can she prove that Dustin Webb is as innocent as she knows him to be? Aftermath deals with everything that happens after an explosion that destroys the lives of so many. A survivor dealing with the feelings of losing her friends. A business partner whose partner is charged with a crime while dealing with his own personal crisis. An attorney facing the biggest case of her career. Aftermath takes the reader into the minds of several of the main character letting them see the world through their eyes, their feelings as they try to move on and reclaim their shattered lives. The action is intense and remains so throughout. The characters are well developed and one can easily connect with each of them on their own level and from where they are coming from. If you want to experience a range of emotions in your reading Terri Blackstone offers just such an experience. Aftermath is explosive and you don't want to miss it! I was provided a complimentary copy of this book with no expectations but that I offer my honest opinion - All thoughts expressed are my own.

Terri Blackstock has achieved the perfect blend of suspense, romance, faith, and mystery in Aftermath. She mixed all of those elements in with terrorism, revenge, mental illness, betrayal, forgiveness, and reconciliation in a book that kept me up late into the night, or more accurately, early into the morning.. The plot has twist and turns and flows smoothly; the dialogue is natural; and the pacing is perfection. I highly recommend this book and this author. I definitely plan on reading more of Terri Blackstock's work. I received a complimentary copy from NetGalley and have given my opinion of this well-written book.

This is my first Terri Blackstock book but it definitely won't be my last! It was absolutely fantastic! I wouldn't even classify it as too much of a romance but it was certainly a thriller! A definite roller coaster ride! My emotions were all over the place too. It's not just a simple case of find out who the bomber is - the main theme of the story. There are a few characters that Blackstock focuses on and as the story weaves in and out of their lives, the reader has a hard time putting the book down! I totally felt like I was right there with Jamie as she was trying to defend Dustin who is being set up for a bomb that kills many people, and then there's Travis who is Dustin's business partner who is distraught because his wife is dying of cancer, and also Taylor who survived the bombing and the "aftermath" it causes with all these people. I loved this book!
