Point Blank

by Diane M. Campbell

Penny Doyle needs to get far away—and fast. If only she could remember why. *** Occasional flashes of déjà vu do nothing to help fill the elusive memory gaps of Penny’s New Year’s Eve date with football star, Brock Harper. Something happened that night, though. Her bruises prove it. When investigators seek to question her about the disappearance of a fellow college coed who also attended the party, she realizes her urge to return home may not stem from mere homesickness, but rather, something far more desperate. *** In the face of rising accusations, will her dad be able to help? Maybe … if she can get home before it’s too late. *** Author In 2017, Point Blank received the American Christian Fiction Writers' Genesis Award for best suspense/thriller novel by a debuting author.

Got to sleep late. Woke up early.

I tapped out late last night from exhaustion, woke up, and then finished it before 7:30 a.m. today. As soon as a certain character came on the scene the story pulled me along with ease. I thought the author did a great job giving just enough information along the way to unfold the mystery while building the suspense. Nicely done - especially for a debut novel.

Full of suspense and non-stop action, Point Blank is a great book. The debut novel by Diane M. Campbell did not disappoint. Her characters were real, genuine, and interesting. A satisfying storyline with an unexpected plot twist kept me on the edge of me seat the whole time. I am definitely looking forward to more Diane Campbell books!

Suspenseful and Thoughtful

This book took me a bit to get into but I plowed through and I am so glad I did. I read the last 70% of the book nearly non-stop (sleep and then work demanded a break 😂). This book will keep you thinking on your toes and remind you of the importance of good solid relationships. I look forward to reading this authors next book.

Point Blank is a wonderful mystery that follows a college aged woman through a very difficult time. It is suspenseful and intriguing. Diane M. Campbell masterfully weaves the spiritual realm into the natural and scary happenings in the heroin's life. She thoroughly follows the perspective of all major characters in the story and leaves you wanting more. I hope she will produce a sequel!

This was such a great book. I couldn't put it down. From start to finish, it grips you. It's one of those books that leave an impression, and you never forget. The only complaint I have is that this is the only one. I wanted to binge read everything this author's written, but this is her only book. I hope she makes many more one day.

Loved this book! One of those "can't put it down" suspense, where you have to see what happens next. Also love how things mentioned early in the book are referenced and made clear later. Good depth. Makes you think about situations in your own life, and what God may be trying to tell you.

Riveting and suspenseful. I was instantly attached to the characters and found myself worrying for their emotional and physical safety. Great twists and unexpected moments throughout. A story that keeps you turning pages!

[Peggy Pierson]

OUTSTANDING!

This book drew me in one morning and before I knew it I had finished the whole book and it was time to make dinner. This type book is the best to have a story that made you not want to put it down.

[Lisa Hatfield]

What an intriguing way of winding all these stories together! Really stands up to the promise of "Penny Doyle is desperate to get far away - and fast. If only she could remember why." The tension builds and ... wow!

[Diane K]

Interesting story.

I enjoyed this story. Interesting and thought provoking. I believe angels are real and God can send one to you when you need help.

[Tammy Kennington]

Diane Campbell's debut novel grabbed me from the beginning. The characters, plot twists, and intrigue held my attention from the first page. I read the book within a few days and stayed up far later than I typically do just to finish a few more pages.

I can't wait for Ms. Campbell to release her next who-done-it.
