DOWNFALL, book three in the Intervention series by Terri
Blackstock was riveting.
The Intervention series continues with the Covington
family.
Barbara has moved her family to Atlanta for two
reasons. One – to put some distance
between her daughter, Emily and her druggie friends. Two – so she can be closer to Detective Kent
Harlan, the man she’s following in love with.
Emily is two years sober and has slowly put her life back
together. She’s in college and working
at a recovery center, but her mother continues to walk on eggshells around her,
afraid she’s going to relapse.
Lance, Emily’s teenage brother, is struggling at his new
school. Treated as an outcast, he wishes
they never would’ve moved. His only
friend is April, a girl he’s smitten with.
But when he finds out she’s dabbling in drugs, he’s angered and
frustrated.
Barbara and Kent’s relationship continues to progress, but
with all the drama in Barbara’s life, Kent doesn’t want to put too much
pressure on her.
What follows is the twists and turns that bring all these scenarios
together. Emily is being stalked by
someone who wants her dead. Lance is
doing all he can to protect April from drugs and the guy who is supplying her
with them. Kent works a case that could
have ties to Emily’s problems. And
Barbara is struggling to keep her family together.
DOWNFALL is the perfect culmination to the Intervention
series. I loved that the Covington
family is center throughout the series. With
each book you learn just a little bit more about what makes them tick. They are a family passionately in love with
and protective of each other, but the trials and tribulations they face
continue to test their bonds. I can’t
say much without giving plotlines away.
So, I will just say that it was a fascinating, suspenseful, driven
series that is worth investing in the whole set.
