Purchase options and add-ons

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

Raised by a family of survivalists, FBI agent Mercy Kilpatrick can take on any challenge―even the hostile reception to her homecoming. But she's not the only one causing chaos in the rural community of Eagle's Nest, Oregon. At first believed to be teenage pranks, a series of fires takes a deadly turn with the murder of two sheriff's deputies. Now, along with Police Chief Truman Daly, Mercy is on the hunt for an arsonist turned killer.

Still shunned by her family and members of the community, Mercy must keep her ear close to the ground to pick up any leads. And it's not long before she hears rumors of the area's growing antigovernment militia movement. If the arsonist is among their ranks, Mercy is determined to smoke the culprit out. But when her investigation uncovers a shocking secret, will this hunt for a madman turn into her own trial by fire?

A local militia and arsonists heat things up

Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2020

Verified Purchase

This was a good follow up from Book 1. Mercy has reconciled with some of her family and things are settling down after the dramatic events that were thrown at readers at the end of the first book. Quick note: while you don't have to read A Merciful Death to enjoy this one, I'd recommend it as characters, etc. are only briefly explained and more detail and background are given from the start of the series. Mercy is tentatively dating Truman, Eagle Nest's police chief, and her Niece, Kaylie, has moved in with her which is presenting its own challenges. A series of local fires lit by arsonists are investigated by the local police and when a murdered man turns up at one of the crime scenes, Mercy is called in to take over. When her investigation points her towards a group with connections to anti-government militia, things heat up quickly.

This was a solid second book in this series. The two cases being looked into by Truman and Mercy kept the book moving along nicely with good build up and suspense scattered throughout the story. I really like the relationship between Truman and Mercy and the fact that it's present, but doesn't take over the case. I read a review that said there were too many sex details in this book. I have no idea what book they read, because I don't think it was this one. My predominate genre of choice is romance and I actually would have preferred a bit more steam between Mercy and Truman so I'm clueless as to how someone could think this book had too much. Maybe their occasional kissing was too explicit? The heated looks Truman gives Mercy a couple of times too far past a PG rating? No idea, but unfair to the author.

Anyway, I digress. The prepper and anti-government, survivalist lifestyle continues in this book and I continue to enjoy this aspect included by the author, including Mercy's attachment to it. The investigation leads to a local group that knows their rights and doesn't welcome any government interference. With no way to get inside the compound, things are taken out of their control when someone close to Mercy is taken and their life potentially at risk.

I also like the human aspect the author takes time to include and build upon in this series. Once again, Mercy was trying to build bridges with her family. I found this a bit frustrating at times, especially with her father, who continues to be a giant jerk. Mercy was also pretty quick to forgive her family and be the better person considering most of them still kowtow to her dad. I took a star off because I found the ending a bit over the top and too out of left field to be realistic. Some aspects were also a bit sloppy in regard to how trained professionals would act with a few bits uncomfortably chucked in for extra drama. Overall, though, it was a good read that I didn't put down and I'll continue with the series.

Great book!!!

*** 4.5 stars ***

What a great continuation of Mercy Kilpatrick's story. I can relate to her fear that people will always leave her in the end because of the abandonment of her family. She built high walls around her heart and hopes that she never has to feel the pain that she did and continues to by her family's abandonment. She feels that if she lets anyone gets close to her that they too will abandon her. Fear of Abandonment is a horrible feeling and affects the person in a way that is at times all-consuming. I completely understand that she has trust issues. I love the way she is determined!!! And stubborn!!! She doesn't let the little inconveniences slow her down and she sure as hell doesn't let the big ones!!! She uses them as a driving force!!! Failure is not an option!!! Something else I can totally relate to. At first I didn't know exactly how I felt about her but after this book I find myself really liking her!!! Maybe because I have a lot in common with her but I also think it's because she is a great character. Flawed. But aren't we all??? I appreciate that she honored Levi's last wishes and took Kaylie in. And is trying so hard to give her what she needs and guard her. She has an open mind and that is what all teenagers need. She doesn't completely freaked out when she discovers Kaylie's late night activities and tries to understand. I like that she talked to her about it getting her point across while making Kaylie as an equal. And I really love that she did not forbid Kaylie from seeing Cade.
She's open-minded while still being objective. And speaking of Cade he's great!!! I had my doubts at first but they will dissolved over time. I was so worried for him in the end and wanted to kill Owen for saying what he did that resulted in Cades kidnapping and beating at the end. How he could do that if something I cannot understand.

Truman is a great man!!! Yes he has a demons as we all do but he works hard to overcome them. And that in and of itself is hard to do. He has a great cop and gives me hope that there are still good cops out there. So many are corrupted and it's nice to know that good ones still exist. Even if he is fictional. He loves mercy and wants her to open up to him but in no way does he push her. That man has the patient of a saint!!! What I like the most about this book is that it brings to light the dangers that law enforcement face when on the job. They put their lives on the line and often killed by the distorted thoughts of sick people. A truth that is hard to absorb.

Tom McDonald he is on a level of crazy that most cult leaders are. And in the end that is what he was —a cult leader. Brainwashing people with similar ideas. He has a nasty man. But the biggest shock about him in the entire book is when we find out who he is. I was like holy s***!!! I absolutely did not see that one coming. However what I did see coming was the fact that Mercy's father knew all along. I do not in any way like him. It will take a lot and I mean a lot to change my mind. I'm glad that Marcy finally realized she couldn't change her father but was no longer going to allow him to stand between her and the rest of her family.

I am extremely glad that Owen finally came to his damn senses in the end. I wanted to hit him so many times. I'm excited to see where his and Mercy's relationship goes from here. This book was really good as with all of Kendra's books. I have now officially read all of her books and am impatiently waiting for the next book. January seems so far away. However I know that when the next book is released it will be worth the wait!!! If you are looking for a good mystery suspense thriller the definitely check out Kendra Elliot!!! Her story lines are original and keep you interested!!!
