Aftermath — my most recent read by Terri Blackstock — was just as gripping as it claims to be.

I particularly liked the romance as I especially enjoy books that are mostly suspense with a little bit of romance. It took up very little of the book, literally only a few pages, but was adorable and well-developed.

I will say that I had a suspicion — which turned out to be correct — of who the perpetrators of the bombing would be not long into reading the story.

While I enjoyed the book overall, there was one thing I did not like: Taylor. She drove me crazy. I think it was intended for the readers to have compassion on her, and in a way I do, but let’s just be honest, she is straight up insane. She needed to be checked into a mental facility (and be prosecuted for almost killing two men!). I could be wrong, but I don’t believe her OCD diagnosis was correctly used to explain her mental health issues either. I think her symptoms started out as OCD when she was a teenager and spiraled into something much worse after the bombing; probably more like schizophrenia and manic depression.

Well, anyway, enough of my rant but I just thought I would include my thoughts on this. I actually have more issues with the book but I think this review has dragged on long enough. Despite it’s flaws, Aftermath is a good book. It’s worth a read, it just might not be the best book you’ve ever read. 3.25 stars.

God bless,
