An Amazon Charts bestseller.
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.

From the halfway point on virtually every chapter had someone with “knees turned to jello” or instant acid reflux of some sort. That, combined with the bodice ripping style of writing about the…
2 1/2 I felt like this book was just ok. It was actually very depressing. The town was depressing, family that doesn’t act like family, the thing with the sister, the thing with the brother. I didn’t dislike Mercy, but I didn’t love her either. Her character just didn’t stand out. I don’t know how to explain it. Not standoffish but something. I guess it’s because of the way she was raised. I can understand that, but I still didn’t like it or warm up to her. Unfortunately, there was no loving in this…
