Mercy and Cain Killion are connected. Connected by the deranged, sadistic Killer Killion, Cain's father and tormentor, and Mercy's worst nightmare. Twenty years ago, Mercy 's family was killed by Killion and she miraculously lived. But the horror isn't over for her yet.

Abbie Roads sets forth a well paced, well written thriller with Saving Mercy. Her characters are complex with a touch of the mystical as they confront evil in the form of a man. Mercy is a strong, determined survivor. She has an inner strength that manifests itself through an early warning system her mind created. Cain, having been raised by Killion to become a killer, instead turns his abilities to helping save instead of destroy. While broken inside, this character has a deep well resilience that keeps him pushing forward. The interaction between Cain and Mercy and Cain and Mac (Cain's adopted father) are touching and well executed. Ms. Roads wrote her leads excellently giving them toughness and vulnerabilities that made then relatable and real.

Ms. Roads deftly weaves a thrilling tale of cat and mouse as she adds suspects and clues along the way. The crimes scenes are graphic enough to tell the story without being overdone and gory. Ms. Roads adroitly leads the reader through the maze of suspense which leads to an exhilarating finale. A really great start to a series and a very well done debut from this author. I look forward to reader more from her.

I am going to preface this review with this fun tidbit. I had NO idea what I had gotten myself into when I agreed to read this book. I chose to read this book based off the cover and title. I have NEVER read anything by Abbie Roads before, nor did I read the synopsis. That being said, Abbie Roads will be on my one-click list going forward!

I loved this book like crazy! It got my heart beating and even made me check the locks on the doors a few extra times every night! The characters are fantastic and I have high hopes for books two!

Saving Mercy is the first book in the Fatal Truth series By Abbie Roads. It is listed as a Paranormal Romantic Suspense. I do want to address that just a quick minute because some of you will say, "I don't read paranormal." Stop. The paranormal influence is very minute that you won't even mind it. The abilities that the main characters have are woven in so naturally that you won't have time to really analyze this fact. Not once while reading did I think, "This is so far out there."

Cain Killion is the son of a murderer. Just by looks alone, people are reminded of his father, Adam, at every turn, making his life even more difficult. He was fortunate to be taken under the wing of Mac, who then raised Cain after his father went to prison. With his DNA, who could guarantee he wouldn't turn into a killer as well? But Mac had faith and saved the boys life, raising him as his own. Cain has a unique ability due to his father's influence that Mac, who works for the FBI, can't deny could help with his cases and gives Cain an outlet for his abilities.

Mercy is one of Adam Killion's victims, except she survived, if you call being holed up in an institution surviving. With her own abilities guiding her through life, she has been able to avoid quite a bit of danger, until one day when her life is thrust back into chaos.

The FBI has a new case dropped in their laps that pulls Cain and Mercy together in the most unlikely of ways. Depending on one another means survival, but it's one of the last things either is comfortable with. They will need to overcome their personal hang-ups if they want to solve this case and inevitably survive in the end.

Hoooo boy! I’m not sure how Ms. Roads does it, but I’m still amazed by her capacity to write the most heartfelt, innocent and beautiful love stories woven into the darkest, most twisted, disturbingly gory plot lines.

I’m not entirely sure how to classify Saving Mercy. It is definitely a paranormal suspense and has some dark aspects. The amount of blood and gore almost makes me want to say horror too.

Cain and Mercy share a traumatic past, while not exactly the same, the horrors they’ve survived have one link in common. One that not only has been haunting them ever since, but that resulted in them developing some type of psychic abilities.

Cain reminded me a bit of Dexter Morgan, he has a love/hate relationship with blood and how his ability works. He is convinced he’s a monster who’s going to be pushed into snapping someday. Even when using his ability to help the FBI solve murders takes a great toll on him, not only physically but emotionally and psychically too, he can’t see any good in himself.

Cain was a broken man, that he survived his childhood and still maintained the capacity to feel was just plain amazing. He was incredibly caring in spite of the many issues he had, and the way he fought against what he feared was his nature was awe inspiring. My heart went to him time and again, I just wanted to hug him.

Mercy was also an incredibly strong character. The fact that she was alive was a testament to her force of will, and how she battled against the external forces threatening her sanity was incredible. That she could still love, forgive and function was a small miracle.

I really connected to both her and Cain. I felt their pain, their struggles and their love for each other. This also means my heart was broken time and again when the issues they had to overcome seemed to be too much for them to handle.

With the suspense and mystery that will keep you turning the pages, the connection and chemistry between Cain and Mercy and that perfect balance between horrifically disturbing shit and the loveliest of love stories, Saving Mercy is a very engaging read. Though I’m still thinking that I wouldn’t want to be in Ms. Roads mind’s world… like, ever.

Saving Mercy was by far the most gruesome romantic suspense book that I have ever read. To say that there was a lot of blood would be an understatement. There was blood everywhere. Blood was literally the main theme of the book. Blood relations, painting in blood, and to make things even more disturbing, the hero Cain Killion is able to get into the mind of any killer by covering his body in victims’ blood. It was beyond disgusting and just plain old nasty.

Cain Killion is an FBI consultant who uses his unique ability for good in order to make up for the heinous crimes committed by his biological father Adam Killion, who is in prison for killing the Ledger Family 20 years ago when Cain was only ten. The twist in all of this is that Adam left the youngest of the Ledger family alive although he did attempt to slash her throat. Her name is Mercy and for the past two years, she has been wrongfully imprisoned in a mental institution. When symbols from a current murder scene point Cain in Mercy’s direction for answers, he ends up breaking her out of the institution and discovering that he and Mercy have an attraction to each other that can’t be denied. In addition, Mercy has been mentally and physically abused by her doctor all of this time. In fact, the doctor is so obsessed with her that he goes looking for her and Cain. But that’s not all of it. As the FBI’s investigation into a possible disciple of Adam Killion continues, Cain puts the pieces together and what he finds out will shake him to the core and bring him to the breaking point.

The psychological implications of Saving Mercy are disturbing. The level of violence and bloodletting will make your skin crawl. I don’t even see how it was possible to weave a romance into all of this brutality. It was very difficult to enjoy the parts of the book that were clearly intended to be hot and steamy when all I could think about was when was the next blood scene going to occur. Honestly, I don’t know if I could stomach another book like this one.

SAVING MERCY is the first instalment in Abbie Roads’s contemporary, adult FATAL TRUTH paranormal, romantic suspense series. This is FBI profiler Cain Killion, and Mercy Ledger’s story line.

NOTE: SAVING MERCY contains scenes of graphic violence, blood shed and murder, and may not be appropriate for all readers.

Told from several third person points of view including Cain and Mercy SAVING MERCY focuses on Cain Killion, the son of a serial killer, and Mercy Ledger-one of Cain’s father’s victims -a woman who survived but finds herself victimized over and over again. Twenty years earlier Mercy’s entire family was brutally slaughtered by Adam Killion and in the ensuing years, Mercy has struggled to find her place in society until the day she found herself locked in a mental institution against her will. Enter Cain Killion, Adam Killion’s son, and the man who will fall in love with one of his father’s victims. What ensues are Cain’s attempts to save Mercy from a potential copy –cat killer; a stalker who uses Mercy for his own perverted pleasure; and the fall out from a killer’s need for power and control.

Cain Killion has the ability to ‘read’ blood-a killer’s thought and ideas whenever he touches the blood of one of the victims. His psychic abilities leave our hero in a world of hurt and pain, and not without some difficult side effects he’d rather not endure but as an FBI profiler Cain’s ‘powers’ can be used as a positive when on the hunt for the criminally responsible, making amends for his father’s past. His connection to Mercy Ledger comes on the twentieth anniversary of her family’s murders, and a string of killings linking directly back to Mercy and Cain find our couple on the run, not knowing whom to trust or where next to turn. The overwhelming darkness and demons continue to ride Cain Killion-a man whose own father destroyed everything he touched. Mercy is not without some psychic abilities of her own, and together they will form a powerful team but not before Mercy is targeted by someone from her past.

SAVING MERCY is an intense, tragic and alarming look at one man’s ability to destroy everything in his path. There are moments of passion and romance, atrocious violence and abhorrent acts, betrayal, redemption and vindication. The premise is suspenseful and disturbing; the characters are broken, destructive and tormented; the romance is fated, profound and heartbreaking. SAVING MERCY is a dark, deadly, fiery and tense story; a well written psychological thriller about a tortured hero, and the woman with whom he will fall in love.

SAVING MERCY is frightening, thrilling and in it's own way a sweet romance. Whenever two people who are troubled can find solace and love, it's a good read. Cain is the son of a serial killer, who was training him to follow in his footsteps, but he escaped his hold and is now an F.B.I. consultant. He uses the victims blood to get into the head of the killer. Kind of creepy but it works for him and this book. Mercy has had a hard life and with the "help" of a crazed psychologist she has been trapped in a psych ward under his "care." Being rescued by the son of the man who destroyed her life, might seem totally wrong but this turns out to be the best thing that could happen to Mercy.

The atmosphere of the whole book is tense (really serial killer on the loose, what do you expect) but author Abbie Roads does manage to bring some light and warmth to two people who desperately need it. I especially liked the fact that the good doctor got his and that the book did end on a very positive note. You will have to read to find out what happens as I can't say more.

If you love dark, edgy, slightly crazy storylines, with a couple who are survivors and perfectly matched for each other and most off all ... you don't mind sleeping with a nightlight, then SAVING MERCY is perfect for you.

Saving Mercy delivers in the thriller aspect to the max, the tone perfect, the plot well thought out. Although it is a romance, it is also ironic that the romantic aspect seemed rush and often times feels like it impedes the momentum of the story. By the middle of the story Mercy and Cain's romance feels more tacked on rather than the main point of the book. Nevertheless, Saving Mercy will have readers feeling the heart pounding suspense and dark tones of how it feels to be hunted and scared out of your wits!

My first thought is "Wow. I didn't see that coming!"
Cain Killion, the Hero of the story is the son of a serial killer. He has a special "gift". He can read the details of traumatic events, usually murder, by immersing himself in the fresh blood left at the scene of the crime. He works as a Special Profiler for the FBI. Our first encounter with Cain is when he is re-visiting a murder of a family. We learn that he is connected to the murderer, a person who apparently has copied his father's methods and style.
The Heroine of the story, Mercy Ledger, is the surviving victim of Cain's father . She was hospitalized in the Center of Balance and Wellness, a mental institution. She is under the "care" of a rather nefarious psychiatrist, Dr. Payne, and escapes when Cain comes to see her.
The plot has many surprises, and twists and turns which capture the interest. There is a relationship between Cain and Mercy, and there is a happy ending for them.
Abby Roads successfully creates an alternate reality where the existence of special gifts are not denied, even if they are not exactly accepted. There is character development, an action driven plot which makes sense, and most side stories are neatly wrapped up.

I was enthralled from the start! Saving Mercy totally had me questioning my sanity…see this book is 320 pages of twisted, graphic, gruesome, crazy, dark, sexy, emotional, edge of your seat romantic suspense with a touch of paranormal thrown in and I LOVED IT! Yes, I said SEXY and that’s one reason why I’m questioning my sanity. The hero, Cain, has a special unconventional ability to help solve murders. This ability was triggered by a horrific childhood experiences that have left him a broken man, a man who feels like he is a monster.

Mercy, oh dear Mercy, she’s got one of the saddest background stories ever. Actually Mercy and Cain’s background stories are equally horrific and interwoven with each other in different ways as a result of something that occurred twenty years ago.

Mercy and Cain are two broken souls who should never work, but they do in the most beautiful, albeit twisted, way. Their chemistry is undeniable; their bond indestructible, their present path is full of pain, heartache, deviousness all orchestrated by an insidious, sinister puppet-master, the identity of who I never saw coming. As I write this review I continue to question my sanity because with as twisted and gruesome as it is I love Cain and Mercy’s story and I cannot wait to see how much more twisted Abbie Roads can get.

Cain could still feel the desperate energy of the dying and almost the echoes of their screams . Cain hated the sight of the blood but here he was standing in another murder house. Mac was also there and he was the senior special agent for the FBI on this case. Mac was Cain’s adopted dad and still acted like even if Cain was thirty and a grown man. Cain hated this but he knew no one else had the history Cain did or could do what Cain could do no one else could give the information Cain could. . Even if he wanted to run he always stayed. Cain’s “ profiles” were more accurate and detailed then a normal profiler could achieve. In most cases his profiles lead the law right to the perpetrator. He was Killer Killian’s Kid- Triple K as the media dubbed him. Cain needed to be around blood and death. He was the spawn of a serial killer and had the predisposition to be a killing machine like his father. One of the ways Cain found to curb the ugly urges was to force himself to be at the murder scenes. The worst part Cain would never say is sometimes he enjoyed himself. The family: parents and daughter had been killed in the house. The blood sent him back to when he was very much his father’s son back to when blood covered his skin - so wrong yet so soothing at times. Blood was a pleasure and pain to Cain; a gift and a curse. Blood opened a doorway into the minds and bodies of those who found bliss in brutally ending life. Cain became the killer and saw what the killer saw, did what the killer did, and felt what the killer felt. A dull thumping started behind Cain’s eyes that always happened after he saw the images the thumping would end up in a migraine. The look on Max’s face when he asked Cain if he was back reminded Cain of when Max found him he had been covered in nose mucus, blood and shame. Cain felt he had never been a kid more a monster than anything as far as Cain was concerned . Cain had several scars on his body and they were all put there on his body by his father . But there was a girl and her name was Mercy Ledger who had been age ten when Killian had killed her family had cut her throat also and yet somehow she had survived. Mercy had made a mark on the wall at her home and now that same mark had been on a painting done in blood before he painted over it but Cain had seen it. Mercy had been cut twenty years ago. But Mercy hadn’t made the mark this time she had been locked up in the Center Of Balance And Wellness for the past few years. Cain had been checking on Mercy for the last twenty years . She had been Killian’s only survivor. The dark days with his father Cain had been forced to work with Killian at the same Center Of Balance And Wellness and had started at the age of five as his father had been the night janitor. While working there Cain had met and got close to a night nurse named Liz and she had been the only person to ever show Cain any kindness at the time. Liz had stayed in Cain’s life and was one of the few people Cain considered a friend and the closest thing he had ever had to a mother. Mercy could now recognize bad intentions every since that night with KIillion. Cain went to the Center to talk to Mercy about the meaning of that symbol and Liz brought mercy out in a wheelchair but Mercy was totally out of it. Liz told Cain he had to take Mercy away from the there before Dr. Payne destroyed her. Cain took mercy to a cabin he rented that no one knew about and he paid extra for no questions asked. No one knew of this place and could relate it to Cain in any way.
I loved this story as much as you can love this type of story. It was so intense I didn't’ want to put it down and i had no problem with my interest lagging. This had me on the end of my chair a lot and I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. I was hooked at the very beginning and stayed that way until the last page had been read. The plot was absolutely stupendous and the book was consuming and I didn’t want to put it down. For Mercy and Cain’s life to be so entwined and truly messed up by the same man was mind boggling. I am also glad Cain when realized Max truly loved him as a son with unconditional love and then to have Mercy. This is definitely one of my new favorites. I don’t want to give anymore of the story away so I will simply say I highly recommend you read this book I don’t believe you will regret it if you are into murder mysteries with a lot of violence type books this is absolutely excellent.

This is my first Abbie Roads book and I have to say that I was surprised at how much I liked it. While I like to think that I'm a suspense/triller person, I haven't really read that genre in the past couple of years. So when I saw the blog for this, I couldn't resist.

I was absolutely emerged into the story and I honestly had no idea where it would go. Just when I thought it would be one way, we were thrown a different twist.

I really loved both Cain and Mercy. Each of them have a traumatic past that stumps their continued mental growth. Their past is dark, gritty and unfathomable. Yet, they somehow end up together in a place where they make it work.

Overall, I really enjoyed this start to a new series and I can't wait to get my hands on more. If you are looking for a psychological romantic suspense, this is absolutely for you!

Iam a huge fan of Abbie Roads books so when I heard about Saving Mercy I was thrilled and I cracked open this book as soon as I possible could and OMG was it amazing !!!

In this book we follow Cain and Mercy and these two already have a complicated past because of how they are linked , Cain is the son of a serial killer and Mercy is the only victim of his farther killings that is alive ,I honestly sat there for a few minutes thinking to my self how are these two people going to react to each other now that all this time has passed lol . However on the anniversary of his fathers killings something happens that cases him to have to look back at his fathers crimes due to a symbol and this is really where the story really takes off. Cain has this fascinating and at the same time terrifying talent that is linked to blood and he has this hate/ love relationship with but he needs it to solves these crimes , it was fascinating seeing how he dealt with his powers.Mercy on the other hand at the beginning of this story is being held against her will in an asylum, so its safe to say that we do not meet either of these characters in the best happiest places .Honestly one of my favorite moments in this story is when Cain Kidnaps Mercy from the asylum and I know that sounds weird lol but trust me you will understand when you read this book .The love story in this book was just perfect , if I had to describe it in it three words they would be sexy ,captivating and intense . This story was so so good!!! , it just constantly kept me at the edge of my seat. I could go on and on about how fascinating this book was .

Saving Mercy is sexy , thrilling , addicting , dark Paranormal romance . In my opinion I think Abbie Roads is a master at writing these dark romances and I cannot wait to get hands on her next novel . If you love all these things in your books you should definitely get a copy.

First in a chilling new paranormal romantic suspense series from award-winning author Abbie Roads

He's found her at last
Cain Killion knows himself to be a damaged man, his only saving grace the extrasensory connection to blood that he uses to catch murderers. His latest case takes a macabre turn when he discovers a familiar and haunting symbol linking the crime to his own horrific past-and only one woman could know what it means.

Only to lose her to a nightmare
Mercy Ledger is brave, resilient, beautiful-and in terrible danger. The moment he sees Mercy, Cain knows he's the one who can save her. He also knows he's beyond redemption. But the lines between good and evil blur and the only thing clear to Cain and Mercy is that they belong together. Love is the antidote for blood-but is their bond strong enough to overcome the evil that stalks them?

Review:

A truly unique and inventive story!

I was originally drawn in by the blurb and interesting cover, but the story was so well written and exciting that it kept me on the edge of my seat until the end. It felt like an episode of Criminal Minds on steroids.

In this story Cain and Mercy have been so affected by Cain's serial killer father, him being groomed to kill and Mercy his victim he let live. I thought having Cain and Mercy actually getting powers of a sort from their experiences with Killion. Mercy and Cain are such tortured characters, but so strong and fighters, I really like that about them. Of course, there are bad guys galore in this story, that keep Mercy and Cain in danger and watching over each other and me guessing who is behind the killings. The romance between the two is sweet and touching.

Great romantic suspense!

I’m going to be extremely blunt – Saving Mercy is going to grab you by the scruff of your neck and hold you firmly in place from first page to last. You’ll squirm, you’ll fight, you’ll be enthralled and then you will be right there on the pages with Cain and Mercy. This story will hit parts of several genres in all the right places, Thriller, Mystery, Paranormal, Suspense, Romance and perhaps even Horror. Yet they will blend so smoothly that you will find yourself in a world that seems perfectly sane and logical amidst the chaos going on. It’s a unique world with intriguing characters and villains.

Cain is the son of a serial killer. He’s been broken, not only by his father but by his actions, the guilt that lives within and the need to redeem himself even if he did nothing wrong. He now works with the FBI using his extremely unique manner of getting into the minds of killers – almost too easily.

Mercy is the only surviving victim of Cain’s father’s killing spree. She’s been contained in a mental institution but not getting any help, instead she is abused, traumatized daily. Cain will be her rescuer and together they will track down a killer – and perhaps heal each other along the way.

There is no way to describe Saving Mercy that will get across to you the depth of emotions, the twists and turns of the plot, the supernatural ability of Cain and his love-hate for it, or even the saving love that will bring both Cain and Mercy back from the edge into the safety of each other. It’s a story that really needs to be experienced, and I’d strongly urge you to read this one. If you enjoy Criminal Minds then this story will blow you away.

Saving Mercy is a story that I’ll read again to pick up those small tidbits that I missed the first time around. These days I don’t have a lot of time for re-reads – but I’ll make the time for this story. That alone should give you an idea of what an amazing tale this one is. Now I’ll be waiting for the next story in this series – and I have no idea where that one will take me, but I’m sure it’s gonna be quite the ride.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

This was a really great book, and as mentioned in many previous reviews if you can't stand reading about or hearing about blood, this book is NOT for you. Cain was born in blood and lived his life with blood almost controlling him. Mercy was a strong and resilient woman. They both lived horrifying, disturbed lives and went through tragedies alone and together. Hopefully together, they can heal their tortured souls. This was an intense and very thrilling read. It has a touch of paranormal (psychic touches) but by no means would I classify it as one, I think that will keep people away who don't enjoy paranormal reads. It is in my opinion, a mix of suspense, thriller and of course romance. I really enjoyed the twist at the end. I cannot wait to read more in "Fatal Truth Series" by Abbie Roads. Great Job Abbie and Thanks to NetGalley as I was given an ARC Copy from NetGalley. I was not compensated for either a positive or a negative review. I Reviewed this book with my own honest opinions.

Abbie Roads delivers a twisted psychological thriller. From the beginning we are thrown head first into a gritty and dark world. A world full of mystery, danger, tragedy, and dare I say it, hope.
Cain Killion, son of Killer Killion, is a consultant for the FBI. He's tried to turn his nightmare of a childhood into something that can help others. The torment he faced as a child has forever altered his life, causing him to fear that perhaps, deep down inside, he's more like his father than anyone should ever be.
Mercy Ledger is the girl who lived. The one who survived Killion. After years of trying to live her life, she finds herself thrust back into the dark. Though the physical and emotional scars have never fully healed, they are once again forced to the forefront and Mercy must trust in someone she never expected.
Will light ever be able to grow out of darkness?
I was in awe of these incredibly brave and resilient characters. They've both been through so much devastation and trauma and to see them finding a way to move past it, to use it for the better, was inspiring. While the paranormal aspect made this book a bit far fetched, it also made it unique and all the more intriguing. I loved it! Cain and Mercy's abilities added a different dimension to the story. I really enjoyed both of them and found them quite endearing. I loved the relationship between them too. This unlikely duo found something in one another that they desperately needed and I got completely caught up in it.
Saving Mercy was a rollercoaster ride with its ups and downs. With its heartbreaking loss, romance, nerve-wracking suspense, action, and raw violence, I couldn't put it down.

'Saving Mercy' by Abbie Roads is book One in the "Fatal Truth" series. This is the story of Cain and Mercy. This is a bloody, exciting, drama filled book...so its a little more than just a romance story.
Mercy was one of Cain's father victims that actually survived..but barley. After some time she did end up in a mental hospital that one Dr pretty much torture her. Until Nurse Liz gets her out and into Cain's safe handling. Cain was subjected to the murders of his father and now has issue with closeness even those who are trying to show they care like Mac the FBI agent who took him in when he was young. Even Liz has tried to be a mother to him but he can't get close to anyone until Mercy. Cain has been keeping tabs on Mercy but at first didn't want to take her in doe to his issue with emotion. In addition, he has a love/hate with blood and crime scene. But they slowly start to help each other get through their past. But they also have to get through the danger that they are now in.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC of Saving Mercy by Abbie Roads that I read and reviewed.
This book was the first in a new series and it was pretty good. I was surprised by who the killer was and did not see it coming at all. Some aspects of the book were a bit out there like how Cain covered himself in blood from crime scenes to be able to see what happened. For me that was kind of strange but oh well.
I however, did like the romance between Cain and Mercy even though that was a strange pairing as well. The son of the the serial killer who looks just like his dad that killed her entire family, but hey if they can make it anyone can.
I am not going to get into the book much more due to spoilers but the series does show promise and I am giving the first book Saving Mercy four out of five stars.
