FBI special agent
Mercy Kilpatrick has been waiting her whole life for disaster to strike.
A prepper since childhood, Mercy grew up living off the land—and off
the grid—in rural Eagle’s Nest, Oregon. Until a shocking tragedy tore
her family apart and forced her to leave home. Now a predator known as
the cave man is targeting the survivalists in her hometown, murdering
them in their homes, stealing huge numbers of weapons, and creating
federal suspicion of a possible domestic terrorism event. But the crime
scene details are eerily familiar to an unsolved mystery from Mercy’s
past.
Sent by the FBI to assist local law enforcement, Mercy
returns to Eagle’s Nest to face the family who shunned her while
maintaining the facade of a law-abiding citizen. There, she meets police
chief Truman Daly, whose uncle was the cave man’s latest victim. He
sees the survivalist side of her that she desperately tries to hide, but
if she lets him get close enough to learn her secret, she might not
survive the fallout…
Before I really delve into this review, I need to tell you that I'm in the minority with my feelings on this book. Almost 1800 people have read this book as of right this moment and it's rated at almost 4.5 stars. So my one star rating is ... not common.
After I finished this, I was a little surprised to find out that this was a romantic suspense. I mean, I must have known that at some point because I picked this book and romantic suspense is my favorite genre. But I completely forgot and this book didn't remind me with how it was written. I didn't get romance ... at all ... I mean there were parts ... but this wasn't the kind of romantic suspense that I'm used to, maybe.
Or I guess it could be the fact that this book couldn't keep my attention. That's not a good thing. I shouldn't look forward to putting the book down. And I did. A lot. Now this book wasn't badly written, it just read very dry to me. The conversations were extremely stiff and almost robotic. The further I got into the book, it wasn't just the conversations that I found dry. It became everything. And once that hit ... it was all downhill from there.
I didn't enjoy even one portion of this book. I didn't like Mercy or Truman and I couldn't have cared less what happened to them in the past or what was going to happen to them or if they were going to get together or what happened with the case that they were working on. This was just not a good fit for me this time.
