Vicious Cycle Intervention Book 2 Terri Blackstock 0025986250676 Books

I'm such a fan of Terri Blackstock, and this novel certainly didn't disappoint me! I read it out of order though, without realizing it. I can't wait to go back and read the first of the series.

Each of the characters in this book was well developed, layer after layer, in spite of the fact that I picked this up mid-series instead of reading book one first! Just like in real life, the author writes her characters to be so multifaceted, often even contradictory to themselves. I sometimes found myself thinking "that wouldn't happen!" (because I watch so much Law and Order that of course I know everything about the legal system, LOL) But from the standpoint of Barbara Covington and her son, Lance, the view was about as real as it could be. The desire to believe the best about someone you love who has been in the dragon's lair of addiction, but wrestling with distrust at the same time, is something I could very much relate to.

And from that same perspective, I think Emily and Jordan's struggle with addiction was just as real... The roller coaster of emotion, the desire to get clean, the feelings of despair and complete hopelessness... Horrifyingly realistic. Makes me glad I was never the one on that side of the monster's den.

The one thing that bugged me the most, if at all, was the romantic goofiness of Barbara and Kent. I understand the conflicting emotions, the wondering what the other is thinking, but Kent gave all new meaning to the word clueless. Barbara's feelings couldn't have been more obvious, and in some instances, she'd say things that (to me) were perfectly clear about what she wanted, and it would go completely over his head at the speed of light.

I can't say it's my favorite Blackstock book, but it kept me on the edge of my seat and ran me through the whole range of emotions.

Vicious Cycle Intervention Book 2 Terri Blackstock 0025986250676 Books Reviews

Jordan's mother has talked her into leaving the New Day rehabilitation center. Fifteen-year-old Jordan is an addict and about to be a mother. When Lance Covington decides to go try and talk her into coming back to New Day he gets into more trouble than he bargained for.

When he arrives at Jordan's home he finds that she has already had her baby(at home), she is high on drugs, and her mother and brother are getting ready to give Jordan's baby to a questionable looking couple. Jordan doesn't want to give her baby to them. She has already made plans to give her baby up for adoption to a Christian agency. Jordan locks herself in her room and climbs out the window. She stows her baby in Lance's car. When Lance drives away he is surprised to find the baby there.

Not knowing what to do and hoping that Jordan will come get her baby, he takes the baby to his home. In the meantime Jordan's mother and brother are furious with her and make her call the police and tell them that Lance has kidnapped her baby.

Not knowing what else to do Barbara Covington calls Kent from Atlanta to help her try and get Lance out of jail. Will they be able to talk Jordan into dropping the charges against Lance? Will Jordan be able to break the Vicious Cycle that has become her life and finally be able to do something for someone besides herself?

Vicious Cycle had me biting my nails! I seriously had to keep putting the book(my kindle) down to take a break from the intense suspense that permeates every page of the story. The second book in the Intervention series once again delves into drug addiction, but this time add human trafficking into the mix and it all adds up to one heart-pounding, intense read! I have to say that a couple of times I got frustrated with the characters. Just like in Intervention the characters seem to not want to do what they are told. Lance is told to stay home, he goes out. Barbara is told not to go looking for Jordan, she goes looking for Jordan. Emily is told to stay home away from her old drug stomping grounds, she goes right into the worst house of them all. As the reader I sat there wanting to yell at them "YOU WERE TOLD TO STAY HOME!" I know that those all add up to what makes the book a great read, but it sure gives me heart palpitations!
This book just builds on the previous one (Intervention) as more characters are introduced and we see things more from the perspective of Lance as he has his own trials and troubles helping a drug addicted friend. I was on the edge of my seat and found myself anticipating and eagerly looking for the next page with every twist and turn. The climatic conclusion had me reading faster with the action and kept me holding my breath to see what would happen. Loved this book.
