Book Review: Mercy by Elizabeth Knox

 

Book Description

Death came for me, but he had other plans.

Meghan

I was never one to believe much in fate, but all of that changed when I was sharing a hospital room with Tor.

I was hit over the head by a clubwh*re rat who tried to kill me, and he was shot keeping the club kids safe. Who knew the two of us would create a bond within those hospital walls?

Certainly not me.

Tor was the President's son, and he was a couple of years younger than me. I shouldn't have flirted with him, but I did, and one thing led to another.

But, after nearly dying, I knew I wanted a life away from the club. I didn't want to put my life at risk ever again, and the club understood that.

Things got complicated when I fell for Tor, and leaving him would mean ripping my heart into shreds. I never expected him to follow me and fight for our love, but at the end of the day I couldn't go back, and he wouldn't leave.

***Mercy is the prequel to USA Today Bestselling author, Elizabeth Knox's Raiders of Valhalla MC: New Blood. It is set at the end of the original series, right as Savage ends. This is part one of a two part story between Meghan and Tor. The second story is titled Manic, and is where they will officially get their HEA.

Please note, this is intended for mature audiences only and might have some triggering subjects. 

My Review

Meghan and Tor both belong to a motorcycle club and while I like MC stories at times, this one had too many things about it that I didn't like. The biggest thing I didn't like was the fact that this motorcycle club had club wh*res. They seemed like they were treated like the clubs property and when one of the women attacks Meghan and almost kills her, she doesn't want to come back to the clubhouse. But the members and other women kind of push her to come back. 

Meghan has secrets, secrets that she tries to run away from but it doesn't work and she should have been truthful with Tor and his father is she really wanted to be with him. But instead she says nothing, which was a bad move that comes back to bite her in the butt. 

This book ends in a cliffhanger but I knew that it would from the description. This is a prequel for Manic where Tor and Meghan get their HEA. I have not read that book and after reading this one, I doubt I will. 

I didn't like Meghan. She lies by omission because she's scared of her past but that's not a good enough excuse for me. Maybe I'm not up enough on the whole MC culture but the others that I've read didn't have MC wh*res. They had girlfriends and old ladies/wives. I like that better. I don't want to read a MC story where there are club wh*res, I found that distasteful. The fact the men are ok with passing around the women don't put these guys in a good light for me either. But that's just me. 

I had good hopes for this one but it fell flat for me. 

I give this book 1 out of 5 stars.
