3.5

This was definitely a series that kept me on the edge of my seat. SO much went down. 

I will say that this series is pretty violent, especially this one. There were a few parts I skipped (I was listening on audiobook) because I found them too disturbing, mostly the villain/Keegan’s POV. That’s why my rating is lower. Also suspense just isn’t my go-to genre. 
That being said, this series was definitely gripping! There were tons of twist and turns. I did enjoy it for the most part, especially the faith content. I also really liked Dylan and Casey!

Overall, this was a gripping book and series! It touched on some heavy topics and there was quite a bit of violence but all in all, it was a good series and out of my comfort zone.

If I live is the final book in the trilogy of the If I Run series. Casey Cox is found and arrested after Dylan's apartment building catches on fire. He persuades Chief Gates to let him finish his job of apprehending Casey. The chief initially gives his permission, but then changes his mind and allows Keegan to bring Casey back. Casey's faith started to grow in If I'm Found, and she comes to understand that Jesus had been with her every step of her journey. She spends much time in prayer which brings her a peace that she doesn't understand. Justice prevails and love prevails. 

The story was okay. I found it very challenging to get into this particular book. I didn't understand why the story couldn't have been told in two books in stead of three. The story was predictable and while the ending was satisfying it wasn't enough to compensate for the slow start or the need to suspend belief.
