House of Mercy is a story of, well mercy. The main character Bethesda (or Beth for short) makes a terrible mistake that she cannot undo and throughout the story must face the consequences of her actions. A law-suit is filed against her, her family is going to lose their ranch (the Blazing B), and the family is being torn apart.
In another city called Burnt Rock a man named Garner has suffered the loss of his daughter for 25 years. Even though he has a new life in Burnt Rock the thoughts of his daughter haunt him.
The two stories collide after the death of Beth's father and her encounter with a friend called Mercy. She travels to the town in search of her grandfather Garner Remke who she has never met with the hopes that he can save the Blazing B.
I thought the story was very well written, and it kept me engaged the whole time. I constantly wanted to know what was going to happen next. It took me less than three days to finish the book because I wanted to know how the characters struggles were going to work out. I enjoyed the breakdown of what mercy is throughout the storym, and also the aspects of love and family that ran throughout the book.
Although the story was good I felt like there were a few loose ends that were not tied up. I do not know if the author intends to write a sequel or not, but I had a few questions about the saddle, Nova's story and the history of a man named Jacob.
I thouroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anybody who enjoys a good suspense novel.
