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?
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Holy balls batman! I didn’t see that coming! The end to A Merciful Truth blew my ever loving mind! I thought I knew for sure who the antagonist was in this story, but low and behold, I didn’t know who he truly was, and when I found out… I was speechless and shocked and dismayed!
A Merciful Truth has a little slower than most of Kendra’s books but the slow build eventually lit a fire and took off! I had some bad feelings about a few characters that I loved and I was super nervous for things to come about, but thank goodness they didn’t play out the way I thought they would.
There are some open plot lines that lead us into the next book, and I can’t wait to see where Mercy’s relationship with her family goes. I want those fences mended and bridges to be built again, but at the same time, I don’t trust some of them as far as I can throw them. In fact, I down right despise Mercy’s father.
Truman is the perfect match for Mercy, he just knows when to push her and when to hold back, they are so wonderful together! I can’t wait to see where the rest of this series leads!
