The final book in the series has Mercy Kilpatrick having to go undercover in a segregated community that borders on being a fanatical cult.

There are many things about being a survivalist that Mercy still embraces but how this leader runs his community and treats the women and children is the one of things Mercy despised about her upbringing. Having to play subservient is tough for the strong and independent FBI agent. And it's even tougher for her when she is just months away from marrying police chief Truman Daly whom she could not tell where she was going or how long she would be gone for.

I remember starting the first book in the series wary of a heroine like Mercy because of her background. But it only took till the end of that book to fall in love with her and her man Truman and the rest of the series. It's always sad when a series ends but it at least ends very satisfying. Looking forward to whatever comes next from this author.
