Good book.
We never know what life is going to hand is. This is a story of what life hands to the characters and the way they handle it.

It annoys me when books with proselytizing themes don't warn about it on the cover or in the summary. The storyline was pretty good, but argh.
Despite some flaws, I enjoyed reading this book. One of the most glaring flaws, for me, was that one of the main characters--a young woman old enough to be living on her own--came across, mostly through her language, as an older teenager. I kept having to remind myself that she was older, which was distracting.
Another flaw, although I hesitate to use that word, was the religious/Christian secondary theme. (Caveat: Although I consider myself a Christian, I am not a church-going Christian. I am a spiritualist.) Although this author's handling of the religious/Christian aspect of this story is not as heavy-handed as Debbie Macomber (I no longer read her books for that reason), I still feel a little bit manipulated by the author's trying to influence my beliefs.

This was a very good book. I sat down and read right through it. It is a Christian based romantic thriller. It moves very quickly and holds your attention. Good story, good characters, a good read.
Aftermath has an explosive start and is filled with suspense from start to finish.
Trigger warnings: cancer, death of a spouse, OCD, and PTSD. While they are all represented realistically and contribute to the story's overall plot, I want the reader to know they are there.
The story is told mostly from three points of view: Taylor who is a witness, the accused, Dustin, and Jaime, the lawyer.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy Aftermath as much as I did. It has been sitting on my shelf to read for over three years. It is a story that sucks you in and you want to read until you are finished.
While the story flows seamlessly, two things prevent me from giving it a perfect rating. One I feel is unresolved and should have been touched on, and the second just felt too fast.
Overall, I recommend Aftermath to those who love suspense with a touch of romance.

The opening of the book had me hooked with an explosion in a performance hall. It detailed a girl who was with her two friends who had managed to escape. Her two friends wasn’t so lucky and she already had a mental disorder, now this led to having PTSD as well. She is in desperate need to seek vengeance on the person who killed her friends.
Dustin, a prior military man with knowledge of bombs, is being set up by someone when explosive devices was found in the trunk of his car.
Jaime, his childhood friend now attorney, will do everything she can to find out who is framing him.
Will they find out who is behind the act of terrorism before anyone else gets hurt?
This was a suspenseful story and if you enjoy crime mysteries this would be recommended to you. However, it didn’t hold my attention as much as I would have wished.

This wasn't my favorite. I just didn't connect with the characters.
