3.5 stars. Although I love Mercy's story, this was not my most favorite of the series. I thought I would actually like it best since the story centers mostly on Mercy and Adam, but I found that I missed many of the supporting characters like Warren and Ben and even Stefan. They were in the beginning and end of the story, but this book was mostly about Mercy and Adam and about the history of Mercy's father. I am looking forward to the next in the series though.
