Emerald Windows

I loved this book! I finished it in one day! This one was alot different from her other ones because it was not a suspense/murder mystery, but more of a love story. I predicted the ending from the very beginning, but it was still a quick enjoyable read. I would definatally recommend it!

This is an awesome book. I read Terri Blackstock's "Newpointe 911" series and enjoyed it immensly, and I also read her "Cape Refuge" series and loved it. I thought she could never possibly write anything better. Well, she wrote Emerald Windows, which I just recently read and it was a whole new spin that was very enjoyable. I liked the romantic, yet real enough to believe story line, and I love her description of every aspect of the story!

This book was my first foray into Christian since sometime in the early 80's. I read another reader's review that the scandal between the teacher and the student doesn't wash, and I was going to write in agreement of that but state other good qualities of the book. But then I had a thought. Okay, so the whole teacher/student thing was kind of soft-soaped, but the book itself is full of sexual tension, or for want of a better term, romantic tension. The tension between Brooke and Nick was probably stretched as tight in high school as it is when Brooke returns home. I could feel the sparks between them. They were seen at several places outside of school, in unusual circumstances, and they were observed by another student in a rather intimate, although purely artistic, moment. I could feel Brooke's reluctance; I could feel Nick's desire for resolution. If you like a good romantic STORY, and can do without the trappings of your common romance novel, you'll probably like this book. This is about LOVE, plain and simple.

TO tell you the truth when i picked up this book i was not sure what to expect. but when i got home the day after Christmas i cracked open. and it was likeso goodthat could not stop reading. the plot was very organised, the charactors were so real the one thing that i always look for in agood book is a good fast moving plot, sold charactors, and of course christian based. so if you so if your like and you can't wait to get your hands on a awesome book be sure to check out Emerald windows trust me you won't be disappointed with a good writer like Terri Blackstock you well be wanting more of her books and in enjoying to the fullest.

Terri has, once again, drawn depths of emotions from deep within me to the surface. From the deep anger directed at Abby Hemphill and her obnoxious attitude and constant torment of the stories main characters, to the deep profound message of Christ's love revealed with each new conflict and resolution, I couldn't stop until I had devoured each and and every word. The warmth of lost-love found was not wasted, or lost, on this reader. I look forward to more from Terri.
