When 15-year-old Lance Covington finds an abandoned baby in the backseat of a car, he knows she's the newborn daughter of a meth addict he's been trying to help. But when police arrest him for kidnapping, Lance is thrust into a criminal world of baby trafficking and drug abuse.
His mother, Barbara, looks for help from Kent Harlan - the man whom she secretly, reluctantly loves and who once helped rescue her daughter from a mess of her own. Kent flies to her aid and begins the impossible work of getting Lance out of trouble, protecting a baby who has no home, and finding help for a teenage mother hiding behind her lies. In this latest novel of suspense and family loyalty, bestselling author Terri Blackstock offers a harrowing look at drug addiction, human trafficking, and the devastating choices that can change lives forever.

"Vicious Cycle"
Terri Blackstock does it again! Her books are always great listens. Plenty of action, adventure, a kind of can't put it down book, with a what would Jesus do, added to it!!! She is by far my favorite author!
"It truly is a "Vicious Cycle""
Blackstock is a very talented writer, and I recommend her books to all I know.
It showed that people need to be responsible for their actions.
She has a way of bringing the characters to life.
This is a very tough subject and I was pleased that Blackstock didn't portray the characters as victims. We as a society need to realize what our actions do to others and take responsibility for them.
"Not a Bedtime Story"
Blackstock has her characters back from Intervention. Lance is such a good guy that you sure don't want bad things to happen to him, but he gets himself entangled with evil while trying to do good. Depending on God is evident in this story. It is dark and suspensful. Don't listen to it before bedtime or you'll be dreaming. . . Good read.
"Vicious Cycle: An Intervention Novel"
I had read the first book in this series (Intervention) and so I was already intrigued by the series. As always Terri is good at drawing you into her stories. She is a wonderful Christian mystery writer who has a way of keeping you on the edge of your seat.
Looking forward to her next book. Cassandra is a fantastic reader who brings the drama into her reading...
