A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I am a stay at home mother of two wonderful girls. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Finding Mercy (Mercy Medallion Trilogy #2) - Michael Landon, Jr. & Cindy Kelley

This is the second book in the series.  The first one was called Traces of Mercy.  It left me with a major cliffhanger, so I had to read the next one.  I recommend reading the first one before picking this one up, so you won't be lost with what's going on.

Mercy has run away from Elijah and Isaac and is being hunted down by bounty hunters. She's still determined to discover who she really is and doesn't want to put them in danger.  They aren't giving up, though, and end up rescuing her from a dangerous situation.  While at a fort, Mercy sees a portrait that seems familiar, and it gives her a lead that helps her finally discover who she really is.

Finding her family is more confusing than Mercy anticipated.  When she begins to see that she was a much different person before the amnesia, she questions who she really is. Her family is running a plantation with strong feelings about the North, so they decide to keep Elijah's loyalties a secret.  A tragic accident ends up forcing him to stay, and ultimately, revealing his identity to the family.  Once that happens, Mercy, now Charlotte, starts to wonder if she can fit in with her family at all.  With the threat of the bounty hunters still very real, she can't relax and there's other dangers as well.

This was a good book.  The end wrapped up things nicely, which was confusing to me. The series title says it's a trilogy, so I expected another cliffhanger, but it wasn't there. You could read these two and feel perfectly content to stop there.  As of now, I haven't seen anything to suggest a third book, but I'll be keeping an eye out anyway.  Good Book!
