A MERCIFUL PROMISE. Kendra Elliott. ...Mercy.Kilpatrick book 6
Mercy FBI agent just been told she would be going undercover to an illegal arms buying militia group..The last time, she almost lost her life.No time to prepare or let anyone know. There were children involved, so she finally agreed. Truman is busy dealing with dead bodies, then a case brings him the news of where Mercy is at. Powerful, tense plot, one loves Truman and Mercy. The final book in this series will not disappoint the readers it captures you to the end. Another great series by this author,

Have Mercy! What an awesome book. I am sad to see this series end, but it ended with a bang. I think Netflix should pick this up and make an original movie, or a show based on Mercy. I was so scared and felt the panic of being trapped with a terrorist militia. And, who wouldn't wish for the kind of love and connection Mercy and Truman have. Great story with lots of suspense and action. It was over to quick. I definitely would of loved to read the back story on all of the players and how they ended up on the compound, if it had been part of the book. Definitely worth reading.

I liked the first couple of books on this series much better. In this last book of the series, I found the relationship between Truman and Mercy too over-the-top. This one was more romance than suspense, so not something I normally read, making out just okay for me.

I started this title without reading the previous two and found myself confused, so I read them before continuing. This isn't a series you can read out of order.

Thank you to the publisher and Net Galley for the advanced copy.

A Merciful Promise is my first foray into this series and for much of the book, I felt like I was coming in on a story already in progress. And I guess to a degree I was, as this is the last book in this series but connected to two other series. I felt like I was missing a lot and sometimes I wish new books in a series came with a cheat sheet of pertinent details from previous books.
There isn’t a lot of back story other than passing references to last spring. I assume this means the previous book.
Mercy seems like an interesting character. The daughter of “preppers” and always ready to “get out of dodge”. There was a falling out with her family when she was a teenager and she was ostracised. Mercy worked her way to FBI agent and a year prior to this book, returned home to solve the mystery of “preppers” being murdered. She met and fell in love with Police Chief Truman.
Mercy is sent undercover to a world she is adjacently familiar with by way of her prepper history. To infiltrate a reclusive group of people suspected of killing ATF officers and stealing weapons. Mercy is barely given any time to prepare, but when she hears there are children there, she can’t resist.
Meanwhile, Truman is dealing with some seemingly random execution type murders. I suspect they may connect to what Mercy is doing.
The end of the book happens rapidly with most of the events happening from Truman’s POV. This is disappointing as a first-time reader of this series because Mercy’s prepper history intrigued me.
The HEA is saccharine, with all relationships tied with a nice bow of closure.
All in all, this book was enjoyable. The mystery kept me reading, even when I figured some of it out. There was a surprise twist near the end I didn’t see coming and that’s always a plus for me.

Mercy Kilpatrick is called to stand in for an ATF agent at a militia compound in the mountains, With almost no time to prepare, or get word to the other embedded agent about the change, Mercy has to leave, unable to share the truth of her mission with her family and unsure of how long she will be gone. Mercy quickly draws the attention of some of the higher up members of the militia, something she was warned against that may cost her life. Back home, Truman is working to find out who killed three men and left them in nothing but their underwear. Could his case be tied to Mercy’s?

This is the first Kendra Elliott book I have read and it is often difficult to start a series in the middle, or this case at the end, That was not an issue with this book. While I will definitely go back and read the books that preceded this story, it can easily stand on its own. A Merciful Promise is an engaging read with well developed characters and as the story ended I was surprised to feel disappointed to learn this was the final installment in the series. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys mysteries or crime solving books with strong female leads who do not wait around to be saved.

5* Unlike the In Death series, this ends at the right time, with a strong tale that...

...shows Mercy at her very, very best.

TBH, I was getting slightly tired of every single tale in the Mercy Kilpatrick series being about sovereign citizens and their weirdness that's pretty unfathomable to this Brit, and I think that had the author continued in the same vein, I'd have started eye-rolling and losing interest. In this book, Mercy goes out on a high and starts another high - her wedding, her family found and reunited again, and the new family she's about to start with Truman.

The tale was incredibly well done, though I did think that the SC leader, Pete, kind of exited without enough fanfare and bloodshed, but there was a decent amount of storyline to be told, and the author did really well with it. I would have liked some more ends tied up with the residents of Mercy and Truman's little town, such as what happens to Britta and whether Cade and Kaylie are still a couple or not, and whether Ollie has a chance with her, and about Isaac and what life is like for him now without his mother, following the events of book 5. Things just felt a little too unended, I think...

But, as the author says, Mercy and Truman may well be popping up in related tales, as apparently is the case with a couple of the medical personnel in book 5, so I think there'll be more of Kendra Elliot books in my future.

Kendra Elliot finishes her Mercy Killpatrick series with an adrenaline fueled bang that will leave you on the edge of your seat praying for a happily ever after for her and her little family. Mercy is chosen to go undercover with a group of peppers where there is a very real threat of a terrorist plot that might just be to much for Mercy to handle. Whilst no one is told exactly where she will be going, they do know that there will be no contact, which is very hard on all of them, especially Mercy and Truman. Bodies keep turning up all over Trumans town, and he is trying to stay busy, until his case brings him to Mercys and that's when he discovers where she really is. It's brilliant and terrifying, satisfying and epic and it truly is the perfect ending to Mercy and her eccentric family and friends and I truly hope we see them again soon. Just a little visit will do nicely!

Sad to see this series end. Not my favorite because little interaction with Mercy and Truman (or the rest of the family). Still good and a satisfactory ending.

This is t he 6th and final book in this series. This is one of my all time favorite authors and I love all of her series. I hate to see this series come to an end. The book is full of danger, romance, emotions, and wonderful characters. I highly recommend this book to any mystery series

This is the final book in the Mercy Kilpatrick series. It can be read as a stand-alone but will benefit the reader to be read as a part of the series.

Mercy finds herself undercover, alone, and with no means of communication. The militia group she’s infiltrated is suspected of dealing arms and conspiring against the Government. They do not take lightly to outsiders and punish those who break the rules, severely. Truman is beside himself when he finds out Mercy’s assignment has went sideways and he finds himself willing to do whatever it takes to find his fiancé.

Kendra Elliot ends the series with an emotional, action packed narrative. As usual, her characters are wrought with depth and the plot line is primarily character driven. In this installment, the crime/police procedural takes a minor back seat to the emotional aspect of the characters as Elliot leads the foretelling of their futures and wraps up the storyline of the series. 4 stars.

Thank you to #NetGalley and #MontlakeRomance for this ARC of #AMercifulPromise

I am sad this series has come to an end. The characters are great. The story lines have been exciting and thought provoking! A great romance and action series to dive into.

I love the Mercy series. This doesn't fail in offering intrigue and action. Mercy goes undercover in a cult, Truman has to survive not knowing what is happening to Mercy. A must read

I have been very fortunate to find authors who excel at their craft in all of the genres that I read. One of my favorites in romantic suspense is this author, Kendra Elliot. I have read all of her books, and each one I download or buy is like a Christmas present...pretty wrapping and a wonderful gift inside!

A Merciful Promise is the latest, and possibly the last, in the Mercy Kilpatrick series set in rural Oregon. Each book has been an absolute pleasure to read, and this one is no different. To recap for anyone who has not read the first books, Mercy is an FBI special agent based in the bureau's Portland office. A case brings her back to the small town of Eagle's Nest where she was born and raised, the youngest daughter in a family of preppers- people who are prepared, at any moment, for the government to collapse and anarchy and chaos to take over the world. Mercy is involved with several high profile cases, and as she solves crimes she is also working at making amends with her family and trying to bridge the years that she was gone. She has fallen in love with the police chief of Eagle's Nest, Truman Daly and they are planning their wedding.

This story opens with Mercy being tapped to infiltrate a militia compound deep in the Oregon wilderness, a compound whose members follow their leader almost blindly. Rumors are heard that something big is about to go down, but no one knows what. Mercy is hesitant, but realizes she is the person best qualified to do the job. Cut off from the world, with no backup, can she determine the plan that is being hatched, stop it, and survive?

While Mercy is gone, strange things start happening near Eagle's Nest. Truman struggles to understand why bodies are appearing in the country around his town. Nude males, shot execution style, with no identification have been dumped. Working together with the county sherriff's department, Truman tries to put the pieces together.

I love these characters, and I love this series. Kendra Elliot has written another one that will go on my shelf!

A Merciful Promise is Book #6 in the Mercy Kilpatrick series. Kendra Elliot has not let me down yet! I loved it.

Full review to be published online in late June.

A MERCIFUL PROMISE is the sixth book in the riveting ‘Mercy Thomas’ series; and apparently the final installment to the series. Mercy has been borrowed from her FBI unit by the ATF to help in a deep undercover assignment. They are investigating the group as possibly being behind a hijacking of a weapons transfer, and there is a possibility that the group may be planning a terrorist attack. The paramilitary group doesn’t allow outside contact, so Mercy will be completely hidden away from the outside world. In the meantime, Mercy's boyfriend, police chief Truman Daly, is investigating a series of murders where men are being shot execution style and the bodies dumped in his jurisdiction.

A MERCIFUL PROMISE is another great read by Kendra Elliot. If it is indeed the end if the series. It is a fitting one. Recommended read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Bookouture for allowing me to read this arc.
A Merciful Promise is the 6th and final in the series.
What a way to end the series. Kendra Elliot you definitely kept the best till last!
Mercy is sent in undercover to join another agent and infiltrate a militia style group or cult! She's not allowed contact with anyone outside the group and has no way of doing so!
Mercy's and her fiance Truman's wedding is due to take place in the coming months.
Meanwhile Truman is dealing with unexplained murders. Could they be related to Mercy's case??
An action packed and fast paced story right to the end.
I'm sad to see the end of the Mercy and Truman storyline, but again I say "What An Ending"! And I'm definitely looking forward to the next and exciting new surprise from the so, so talented Kendra Elliot.

Ok you guys I love this book so much! If you are a Mercy fan you will love this book! If you haven't read this series yet, start at the exchange and read it it's not long and you do NOT want to miss this series in order. And do NOT read spoilers.

I know I'm should give you editorial on this book but I can't it's just that good and I don't want to miss or suspect any of it. You can read the blurb if you want an idea. I'm just going to say don't miss this one!

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This last book in the Mercy Kilpatrick series is a thrilling and satisfying end to a great series. It is an action packed story full of tension, danger, suspense, intrigue and emotion. Mercy is a survivor. In this story both her physical and mental survival skills are severely challenged and Truman has to face the anxiety and agony of not knowing if the women he loves is alive or dead. The authors vivid writing makes you feel the emotions the characters are going through and you experience the desperation, fear, despair and love right along with them. Even though this is a fitting end to a well written series, I will still really miss Mercy and her cobbled together family.

I'm sad that the end of the Mercy Kilpatrick series is here! This was my first set of series I have read by Kendra Elliot and it has led to me digging in to her other books.

In a Merciful Promise, Mercy goes undercover at the very last minute into a militia amassing guns. These are dangerous men and Mercy soon finds herself in an extremely dangerous and vulnerable situation with no way to communicate to the FBI.

Truman himself stays busy while Mercy is away, but that doesn't ease the loneliness he feels without her or the worry he has when he encounters several murders that could all tie in with what Mercy is investigating.

Once again, I love the suspense and drama of the writing. Kendra Elliot has a way of drawing you into the story and rooting for the minor characters along with the MCs.

While this is the end of the Mercy series, we are treated with her wedding that was amazing! As well- teased that she may be included as a minor appearance in future books.

I received an ARC copy of this book from the Publisher via Netgalley and voluntarily leaving my review.

This is the last book in this series and it was a great journey getting to know Mercy Kirkpatrick.

When Mercy is ask to infiltrate a militia group she unable to tell anyone what she doing.

As she goes deeper she find the leader of the group as cruel a violent person who doesn't hesitant take to use violence to control over the group. As she finds that she can't communicate she has to stay a step ahead to keep herself alive.

Her fiance Truman has his hand full when 3 bodies found in various locations in his county as he investigate you start to wonder if both case are related I won't spoiled but you have to read it your self.

This is a great satisfying end to this book series.
