Finding Mercy: A Novel (Mercy Medallion Trilogy Book 2)

Enjoyed the second book in the Mercy Medallion Series. Mercy tried every which way to getaway from Elijah but in the end she needed him. She finally finds something out about her past and it leads her to Georgia. She finds her stepmother and half siblings. They call her Charlotte they show love to her at first. She gets Elijah to stay because she feels he is the one that she really knows. He stays but has plans to leave. He falls in love with her as he is around her. In the midst of this he gets shot by accident. Charlotte takes care of him. The bounty hunters come after her during this time as well. Elijah saves her once again. It is also found out that ELIJAH is with the Union. That upsets the family Elijah leaves to get the bounty off of Charlotte head. During his absence Charlotte sees the injustice to the blacks tries to fix it. Gets in trouble with Klu Klux Clan by way of her own kin who wanted to get rid of her. She also finds out that she owns the plantation not her stepmom. SHE boots her would be family off. Has trouble again with the Klan Elijah and some of the townspeople show up and help all is saved. Elijah and Charlotte story ends how it should.

Characters: I love books that have complicated characters. If you've read the previous novel, you know that Mercy is pretty complex. Suffering amnesia she has no idea who she truly is. But in this book, we learn who she was before her injury, and it was a very different person than who she is throughout the course of this series. There are quite a few other characters who end up being different than what they appear as well. It is the people that populate this book that really kept my interest.Storyline: I found the storyline in this book to be a bit, well, choppy. At times I was completely engrossed with the book. Other times I found myself a bit bored-primarily in the first part of the book. After about the mid-point, things started to really pick up and get interesting.My Thoughts: I enjoyed the book. I wish the action was spread out a bit more through the story, but when things were happening I enjoyed every page. Finding Mercy was the perfect sequel to follow the first book. We learn about Mercy's past just as she does and at the end of this book, we aren't really wondering too much more. I am curious what the third book in this series will be, however. The series title references that it is a trilogy and this book seems to be a pretty good conclusion to the first book. Hopefully, the third book will be just as exciting as these two have been.

Unlike other reviewers, I'd not read the first book in this series so had no idea what to expect. I'll admit that part of the reason I purchased the book was the fact that it was co-written by Michael Landon, Jr. and I was (as I'm sure other readers were) a fan of his famous father. I also enjoy fiction set in that time period (Civil War) so.....it was a given, I'd want to read the book. I wasn't disappointed - although, I wish I'd read the first book before this one. The fact that I hadn't didn't detract from this book, though. I enjoyed the storyline, the characters were well developed and if there were editing errors (one of my particular dislikes) I was so wrapped up in the story that I didn't notice. I do intend to get the first book book - sometime - read it, and then re-read this one. I don't notice a third book, but hope that another will be forthcoming. I'd love to know how this story "wraps up:". Seeral questions still need answe ring and I'd like them "wrapped up".

I read the first book and couldn't wait for the second book to come out. The first book left you on the edge... I was almost sorry I didn't wait until the whole series was written before reading...that way I could read one right after the other!I chose the first book simply because it sounded interesting. I will say it grabs you from the start. This sequel was ever buy as good at keeping you on the edge.I do think the characters and their relationships could have been developed more deeply. In truth, this book could have been twice as long!The only other observation I have is that the authors must have dropped their finger on a map to pick Darien. While they were accurate about being burned during the war by Negro Union soldiers, very little of what they describe as Darien sounds like Darien.. I know because I lived and taught there for close to ten years. However, that's a minor thing and doesn't detract from the story. I hope others will read this book it's an easy read and wonderfully written!

LOVED IT! Can't wait for the third book in this series. This was one of those books that was so good, it makes me wish I had waited until I could read all three in a row. Instead, it will just give me an excuse to reread the first two when the third is finally released. So, why did I love this story so much? It had a lot of suspense, intrigue, betrayal, (yet) loyalty and love. Without giving too much away, I found myself wanting one particular person to go away, only to learn to love this character a lot by the end. Mercy's character is quite complex. For someone with amnesia, she is sometimes too trusting. Luckily she has some people with good character looking out for her. Some things this book made me realize: 1. Some of the difficulties facing the slaves when they gained their freedom, such as their illiteracy and the amount of people who cheated them. 2. Family isn't always blood. The people who are your true family can sometimes look, act, and be totally different than you - yet they are the ones who love you the most.

Brilliant just couldnt put it down

Well written enjoyed it

Very good story

Le gusto mucho a mi hija alolescente, tiene romance, intriga, suspenso es una forma divertida de transportarse en la historia, aprendes y te diviertes con la lectura. Muy adecuado pues los libros del autor son sanos y pueden leerlos los jóvenes sin ningún problema. Clasificación A como dirían en el cine, para todo público.

This book reveals the effects of pride, hatred, prejudice and greed - on people and a nation. How devastating the effects can be. How great small acts of restitution and doing right can be. A truly inspiring read. To be strong and do good whenever, wherever we can
