DISTORTION by Terri Blackstock

Typical Terri Blackstock.  From the very first page the story line grips you.  It starts out with Bob and Juliet Cole gassing up their car and then heading to the U haul place to return the U haul they used to help Juliet's sister, Holly, move.  While Juliet is waiting in their car for her husband Bob to return the U haul truck and the keys, a white Camaro eases into the U haul parking lot, and shoots her husband as she is watching it unfold before her eyes.  From the first chapter of this book, till the very end, there is so many twists and turns.  Juliet finds out her husband is really not the man she knew.  That he was leading a double life.  I found it hard sometimes to keep track of the characters, but that is reader failure on my part.  I do have to say that I just found it really hard to understand how a woman/wife can just have no clue about their finances.  That all finances were totally controlled by her husband, Bob.  I understand that there are marriages where this works out for them and it is an equal agreement.  Maybe one spouse is not good with accounting and recognizes it.  This is the only spot in Terri's book I had a hard time with.  Juliet was totally and completely blindsided by this double life of her husbands.  Beyond this, being my own personal take on this book, I would give this book a total thumbs up.  It really reveals to you how easy it is, through the need of money, recognition, etc., to be wholly taken in by the greed of this world.  Makes you think and re-evaluate your own life to see where your own priorities lie.

This review is my own review as a Book-look Blogger.  In no way have I been paid or urged to give a good review of this book.  This review is totally my own.
