Romance Suspense
Cain Killion wants only to help others, but with his
background and strange ability, people look at him as if
they are prepared to defend themselves. He is connected to
blood and uses that to find killers. This damaged man will
do anything when he finds he is once again SAVING MERCY. Years ago Mercy Ledger survived a serial killer but instead of
of finding peace she is continually treated as if she is
mentally ill. A brave nurse and Cain rescue her and in doing
so they find more than one type of evil is in the world.
Sometimes those believed to be mentally unbalanced are
really the only sane people and the good are the crazies. SAVING MERCY is frightening, thrilling and in it's own way
a sweet romance. Whenever two people who are troubled can
find solace and love, it's a good read. Cain is the son of
a serial killer, who was training him to follow in his
footsteps, but he escaped his hold and is now an F.B.I.
consultant. He uses the victims blood to get into the head
of the killer. Kind of creepy but it works for him and this
book. Mercy has had a hard life and with the "help" of a
crazed psychologist she has been trapped in a psych ward
under his "care." Being rescued by the son of the man who
destroyed her life, might seem totally wrong but this turns
out to be the best thing that could happen to Mercy. The atmosphere of the whole book is tense (really serial
killer on the loose, what do you expect) but author Abbie
Roads does manage to bring some light and warmth to two
people who desperately need it. I especially liked the fact
that the good doctor got his and that the book did end on a
very positive note. You will have to read to find out what
happens as I can't say more. If you love dark, edgy, slightly crazy storylines, with a
couple who are survivors and perfectly matched for each
other and most off all ... you don't mind sleeping with a
nightlight, then SAVING MERCY is perfect for you.
SUMMARY
First in a chilling new paranormal romantic suspense
series from award-winning author Abbie Roads He's found her at last Cain Killion knows himself to be a damaged man, his only
saving grace the extrasensory connection to blood that he
uses to catch murderers. His latest case takes a macabre
turn when he discovers a familiar and haunting symbol
linking the crime to his own horrific past-and only one
woman could know what it means. Only to lose her to a nightmare Mercy Ledger is brave, resilient, beautiful-and in terrible
danger. The moment he sees Mercy, Cain knows he's the one
who can save her. He also knows he's beyond redemption. But
the lines between good and evil blur and the only thing
clear to Cain and Mercy is that they belong together. Love
is the antidote for blood-but is their bond strong enough to
overcome the evil that stalks them?
