IN MY OPINION
In Aftermath, Terri Blackstock gives readers an intense suspense that could easily be a headline in today’s news.
Taylor is at a concert and political rally with her two friends when it is interrupted by a devastating explosion. Throughout the book, we follow Taylor and her struggle with survivor’s guilt and PTSD.
And while we know Dustin isn’t guilty, only his childhood friend Jamie seems to believe him. As the two work together to prove his innocence, we unearth the discoveries as they do. We also get to know Travis, Dustin’s friend and business partner who is struggling with his wife’s illness.
With these four storylines running throughout the book, the tension remains high and the plot intriguing. Blackstock doesn’t avoid touching on difficult subjects, from the nature of the crime to the after-effects Taylor experiences and the difficulties Dustin and Travis are dealing in saying goodbye to someone they love.
The romance thread is light in this one and doesn’t really come together until the last couple of chapters, but I enjoyed the history Dustin and Jamie share. And the last fifty pages of this story tighten the plot, ups the pace, and puts the final pieces of the puzzle together.
