Is Dylan hunting Casey to prosecute her or protect her?

Casey Cox is still on the run, fleeing prosecution for a murder she didn’t commit. Dylan Roberts—her most relentless pursuer—is still on her trail, but his secret emails insist that he knows the truth and wants to help her. He’s let her escape before when he had her in his grasp, but trust doesn’t come easily.

As Casey works to collect evidence about the real murderers, she stumbles on another unbearable injustice: an abused child and a suicidal man who’s also been falsely accused. Casey risks her own safety to right this wrong and protect the little girl from her tormenters. But doing so is risky and just may result in her capture—and if she’s captured, she has no doubt she’ll be murdered before she ever steps foot in a jail.

In this riveting sequel to the USA Today bestseller If I Run, evil lurks, drawing Casey out of the shadows . . . but there is light shining in the darkness. Is Dylan a provision from the God who loves her, or another heartache yet to happen?

Book two in the series, I love how Blackstock reminds the reader what happened in the first book without rehashing the whole thing at once (a pet peeve of mine).

This book was a bit harder to read. The subplot is sickening, not because of how Blackstock writes it but by its very nature (child molestation). Blackstock actually handles it well, but my heart breaks with Casey and it’s still hard to read.

Kind of the flip side of that coin is the Christian content. Blackstock doesn’t hold back. There’s no doubt what she believes and she believes faith and God can impact a person’s life. If you don’t like Christian themes, you won’t like this book. If you do, she handles it beautifully.

Overall, it felt like it took longer to get into the meat of the story, but once it got going it was hard to put the book down. Now I can’t wait to find out how the series ends. Next time I’m in the mood for a suspense novel, I’ll definitely go back to Blackstock.
