Great All-around Guide for Constructed Wetlands.......2002-11-12
This book has become an invaluable reference around our office...for the engineers, landscape architect and directors. The book covers a range of useful topics, from design basics (including relevant modeling formulas), pricing estimates, integration information for planners, citizens and regulators, wetland ecology background notes, landscaping ideas and wonderful examples of systems that the authors themselves have designed and installed.
The book highlights the benefits of wetlands often overlooked or undervalued in other engineering-oriented texts - wildlife habitat creation, aesthetics, water recharge, etc.
Since the book was writen by a landscape architect and an engineer, two visionary pioneers in their fields, it covers a lot of useful ground.
Book Description

Great Book.......2007-02-18
Great book and easy read...I couldn't put it down! I love her entire collection.
Mystery.......2007-02-16
This is the fourth book in the Cape Refuge mystery series and completes the story in a satisfactory and fulfilling way. Terri Blackstock is true to her readers, she doesn't "fool" any of us while at the same being able to slip in that quirk or surprise fact toward the ending that keeps the reader turning pages. The Cape Refuge characters are warm, smart and human!!! I have read all four of the Cape Refuge series and recommend them highly; they have a Christian slant that is light and does not preach or come on heavy-handed but is very today.
Breaker's Reef.......2006-11-10
This book was one of the best books that I have read in awhile. The whole series by Terri Blackstock is excellent. This is the kind of book you can't wait to find out the end but, you hate to finish reading it.
My 14 year old daughter also read it too and loved it. If you are a fan of mysteries and also of romance you should pick this one and the whole series up.
Absolutely loved it!.......2006-09-07
I read this entire series and I absolutely loved it. Moved at a perfect pace and I enjoyed the characters. I am a big fan of Terri's novels.

Bring on the Red Herrings!.......2006-06-21
I think this is the most satisfying mystery from Teri Blackstock yet. Without giving away the ending let me just hint that I was totally fooled by the Red Herrings in this mystery. As good as the story line is I agree with other reviewers that the characters drive this story (as in all good novels). The thread of restoration is strong throughout the story and the bond of parent and child is powerful. This is an excellent ending to a very good series.

A Fantastic Journey to Hidden Dimensions.......2001-08-16
I couldn't agree more with the previous review. This book is a rare jewel. It is far more poetic than factual, and many of the statements and assertions it contains will irritate and infuriate the skeptic and the cynic. On the other hand, this is the real deal...this book does a superb job of crystallizing the intangible spiritual forces and dimensions that make Rhedae such an unforgettable flower of eternity. It is a haunting and ultimately nonverbal book, and I'd have to say it's one of my all-time favorites. Every page is packed with awesome and nebulous mysteries. You'll either give it five stars or you'll think it's the worst piece of gibberish you've ever seen....sheer poetry from beginning to end. Vive le Cardou!
A BIG Piece of the Rennes Puzzle..........1999-03-16
Too bad ALL of the "Rennes-les-Chateau Addicts" don't have this book... they might then have a CLUE!
This is a MARVELOUS compendium of arcane lore, compared and listed alongside details of that most interesting mystery of Southern France which makes clear the absolute ANCIENT nature of it, and makes irrelevant all the silly conjectures about the "Tomb of God" or the "Horse of God" or buried "treasure" of the 3 dimensional ilk.
Ms. Van Buren's conclusions are VERY deep and complex, but entirely in keeping with the demonstrated complexity of this phenomenon. It has proven over and over again to "shift and move" with the assumptions and expectations of the "seeker," showing us that there is not a simple nor cut-and-dried answer as so many expect to find. It is TRULY an alchemical work...
The SERIOUS Rennes-les-Chateau and "Shepherds of Arcadia" aficionado cannot afford to NOT buy this book!
Book Description
Police Chief Cade disappears after hitting and killing a man with his car. Without a trace, without a note, without taking clothes or his car or money, he is gone. When a witness says she saw Cade getting into a blue Buick with a woman before his disappearance, the newspapers report that Cade left town to be with her. Blair knows it doesn’t make sense for Cade to leave without word for any reason. The dead man is identified, and it soon becomes clear that the woman Cade was seen with was the wife of the dead man. Newspapers begin to ask hard questions. Was the Cape Refuge Chief of Police having an affair with this woman? Did he deliberately kill her husband, then make it look like an accident? When the police department receives a handwritten note from Cade that he has run off to get married to a woman he’s kept secret, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. But Blair notices his unusual signature: Matt Cade. Cade never goes by his first name, and he especially never calls himself “Matt.” She thinks it’s a signal from him that the contents of the note are false. Meanwhile, around the south, there are news reports about babies being kidnapped from area hospitals. When a ransom call comes to Hanover House from the baby’s kidnapper, they are all shocked to see that the phone it is traced to is Cade’s cell phone. Is he involved in the babies’ disappearance? Is that why he’s disappeared?

Disappointing series by otherwise wonderful author.......2006-04-03
Warning: if you are a Blackstock fan, please don't blast me for this review; I am too! But this book made me so frustrated I had to force myself to finish it. Blair has not become any more likeable since the first book, and that's a problem considering she's the main character. Truth be told: there are no likeable characters in this book. This book seems to be so plot driven that the characters are forced to commit every action whether it seems in their nature or not. I don't understand why the Owen sisters even live in Cape Refuge, everyone in town is mean and stuck-up. Every cop or agent in the book is an imbecile. Morgan is so passive she spends most of her time either oblivious to what's going on around her or sobbing. Blair is so aggressive, she truly is a woman only God could love (hey, I have days like that too, but Blair seems to be stuck in a rut). She runs roughshod over everyone and they give in to her, even when it doesn't make sense. I love the idea of Hanover House and Cape Refuge, but I won't be finishing this series. I can't. Too many implausibilities and the power of the message of Jesus was lost. That said, I loved Newpointe 911, Sun Coast Chronicles, and many other books by Blackstock, but this series just isn't worth your time.
Praise for book 2.......2006-02-20
I love books in series. Whenever I finish a book that I have enjoyed, I want more. I like the way that Blackstock introduces a few more characters in each book and gives you a chance to get to know them before the next book. Her characters are believable and I admire their "humanness" (if that's a word). She does a very good job of working the scripture theme into the books without jamming it down your throat. Her books give me a reason to pause and reflect. Good job, Terri! Book 2 is a hit with me.
Loved Loved Loved.......2005-10-30
I could not put this book down. I think I hold the record for reading through this novel so quickly. I love the series Mrs. Terri Blackstock has written.

Can you ask for more?.......2005-09-06
TERRI BLACKSTOCK creates the atmosphere for a fabulous second book by the last chapter of Cape Refuge. On impulse, I couldn't wait to go to the library and check out the second. Blaire and Cade are back with a romance slowly starting to unfold. But, one problem, Blaire's not a Christian.
The story begins with Cade running over a pedestrian that decides he needs to just hop in the road. But, the secret of this pedestrian will take Blaire and Cade on a scary journey. Cade disappears, and when a letter comes back saying Cade is married and is happy, Blaire can't believe it. This is the basis of the fact of a real relationship unfolding. SO, she sets out to find him, and its her courage that saves his life.
But, an ending that will leave you smiling, is the icing of the cake that Blackstock presents.
Book Description

River's Edge.......2007-02-16
This is the third book in the Cape Refuge series by Terri Blackstock. My daughter gave me the first two ooks in the series, and they were so good, I had to have the other two. Very well written murder mystery with a background in Christian life and living. Just proves that stories of this nature can be written without all the blood and gore and still stir the reader's interest, and I went on to to read the fourth in the Cape Refuge series. I read all four of the books within three weeks' time. They are real page turners.
Christian mystery.......2006-11-10
It's so nice and pleasant to find an author whose characters aren't jumping from one bed to another and committing audultery. The language was refreshing--I've always said you can always express your thoughts through unobjectionable words.
Another Winner.......2005-09-17
Terri Blackstock is a master at Christian suspence and RIVER'S EDGE (Third in the Cape Refuge series)is an outstanding masterpiece. Blackstock gives her readers a suspence filled narrative that will hold them captive from suspect to suspect through to the unexpected suprise ending. Blackstock has a knack at weaving GOD into her action-packed plots. She is a talented novelist and she deserves a permanent place on the best seller list.

CAPE REFUGE SERIES.......2005-07-19
I read these back to back and they were all so hard to put down. You never know who the killer is until the very end, and when you find out you are totally suprised.
Another great work by Terri Blackstock.......2005-03-06
"River's Edge," the third entry in the four-volume "Cape Refuge" series by Terri Blackstock, is yet another example that this unique author somehow continues to improve with each book. This is especially impressive considering that all of Ms. Blackstock's novels are outstanding. Her superb writing style; her creative plots of mystery, and compelling insight into human relations; her ability to integrate, so skillfully, her strong convictions in the Christian faith... all of these attributes, and more, make her works special. Very special. --RON HOWE (a.k.a. Toby Martin II)
