Publisher's summary

The murder of Krista Carmichael’s 14-year-old sister by an online predator has shaken her faith and made her question God’s justice and protection. Desperate to find the killer, she creates an online persona to bait the predator. But when the stalker turns his sights on her, will Krista be able to control the outcome?

Ryan Adkins started the social network GrapeVyne in his college dorm and has grown it into a billion-dollar corporation. But he never expected it to become a stalking ground for online predators. One of them lives in his town and has killed two girls and attacked a third. When Ryan meets Krista, the murders become more than a news story to him, and everything is on the line.

Joining forces, he and Krista set out to stop the killer. But when hunters pursue a hunter, the tables can easily turn. Only God can protect them now.

enlightening

I wanted to listen! Fascinating story.
I learned more about Internet safety in a way that made me want to be more careful about what I share on social media.

Exciting!

Great, exciting story. The narration was pretty good as well. I'll be listening to more of her books.

A must read for today's tech savy generation.

How much info is out there about you? Is someone watching you becasue you gave them all the information they need to find you? A young 14 year old girl is killed when all the killer needs to do is read her social network page and find out all he needs to know.
Her sister is determined to stop the computer company from allowing all personal information to be available to just anyone.
Whose responsibility is it... the company, or the ones using the network? You decide.

Great story

I have favorite authors and Terri Blackstock is one of them. You get truly involved with this story and characters

One of My Favorites So Far!

Good storyline and great reading. This really kept my attention. I recommend this for casual, fun audio.

Excitement packaged in mystery with a social issue

What made the experience of listening to Predator the most enjoyable?

Great narration, believable character inflection, short chapters, nice twists, pleasant narrative voice.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Predator?

Revelation of the predator or maybe the death of the predator by dogs --nice touch.

Have you listened to any of Cassandra Campbell’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, this is the first --but I thought it was perfectly done, especially that a female portrayed men and women so credibly without emoting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, Maybe three settings due to time constraints. We purchased it to listen to in the car as we made two different long trips.

Any additional comments?

Great moral message for our time. Important warning for vulnerable people. Naivete, either from a refusal to learn or from just being young can be deadly. The best defense from this type of predator is to never tred on his territory. These creeps are strong, mean, heartless, and usually sociopathic or schizophrenic. If a young woman or man is caught in a predator's web, they usually pay with their lives, and always with their innocence.

Great story.

This was a very suspenseful story, although maybe a little predictable. The auther managed to combine Christianity into the story and still make it good with out preaching. I recommend this story as a clean suspense with out some of the vulgerness other stories in the same style might have.

Great story!

We didn’t want to stop listening! My husband and I started listening in the car and then we couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen and had to listen in the house too!

great Christian writer

I loved this book I just discovered Terry Blackstock and I love how she puts scripture in all her novels I will read all of her books I finished Miracles before Predator and it was incredible

Very Good

Very good audio book, well written, good read. Great while driving! Good plot, realistic story.
