Giveaway - If I Live

The lovely people at Smith Publicity have made it possible for me to do a giveaway!  Here's what their press release says about the book:

If I Live

by Terri Blackstock

The sensational conclusion to the USA Today Bestselling If I Run Trilogy...

The hunt is almost over!  On March 6th, join fugitive Casey Cox in her final heart-stopping chase for justice.

"Blackstock's entire If I Run series is intense and riveting, but this final installment may be the best of all three." -RT Book Reviews (top pick)

"In Blackstock's stirring conclusion to her If I Run trilogy [...], readers will find much to like." - Publishers Weekly

"If I Live is a grabber from page one, delivering an exhilarating mix of chase, mystery, and spiritual truth.  Longtime Blackstock fans will be delighted, and new Blackstock fans will be made." - James Scott Bell, bestselling author of the Mike Romeo thrillers

This spring, New York Times best-selling author Terri Blackstock will delight longtime fans and new readers alike with the highly anticipated conclusion to her USA Today bestselling If I Run trilogy, If I Live - set for release on March 6, 2018 with Zondervan/HarperCollins. 

In 2016's If I Run, readers were introduced to Casey Cox - a troubled young woman on the lam, fleeing prosecution for a murder she didn't commit - and Dylan Roberts, a war-weary veteran hired to find her.  An evocative cat-and-mouse thriller, If I Run's complex, wounded characters jumped off the page and into readers' hearts - and left them anxious to find out what would happen next.

In 2017's If I'm Found, Casey - still on the run and having taken on a new identity - began to piece together the conspiracy that's put her on the brink of spending the rest of her life behind bars (or worse...she's certain the crooked cops who have framed her would kill her before letting her see the inside of a jail cell).  Meanwhile, Dylan - struggling with PTSD and survivor's guilt after living through IED explosions in Afghanistan and Iraq - began to confirm some suspicions of his own about the Louisiana PD, embarking on a dangerous game of double agent that put him - and Casey - in greater peril than he could've foreseen.

Now, with If I Live, Blackstock sends Casey on one last heart-stopping chase to clear her name and bring her enemies to justice.  An edge-of-your-seat thriller told in alternating viewpoints of Casey, Dylan, and corrupt cop Gordon Keegan, If I Live draws Casey and Dylan closer to one another as they amass the evidence needed to convict Keegan and his colleague, Sy Rollins.  But the clock is ticking on both Casey and Dylan's lives, and exposing the real villains turns out to be more complicated than they knew.

Will one life have to be sacrificed to protect the other?  Or will Casey and Dylan joining forces bring them a happier-ever-after than either could've possibly imagined?

"Casey Cox is one of my favorite characters I've ever created," says Blackstock.  "She's complex and simple at the same time.  I'm known for writing novels with Christian themes, but in the If I Run series, when Casey's life becomes complicated, she resorts to lies and even crime to survive.  Dylan is a wounded warrior with PTSD.  It's shocking how many of our war veterans are coming home with this invisible wound.  Christianity gives Dylan a foundation he can stand on, but it doesn't automatically cancel out his suffering."

"I love writing about flawed characters in crisis, and showing how the crisis can sometimes be the blessing," Blackstock continues.  "I always hope that my books are entertaining, but I also hope that the If I Run series will touch PTSD victims, their families, and those who feel alone or isolated for whatever reason.  It always helps to see your story told."

A heart-pounding page-turner full of unexpected surprises that even the savviest of suspense readers won't see coming, If I Live sees Blackstock at the top of her game as a contemporary novelist - and makes for a sensationally satisfying conclusion to this must-read series.
