Mercy Brennan followed in her father’s footsteps in a law enforcement career, but she has no interest in any other connection to him. A U.S. Marshal in St. Louis, Missouri, she’s assigned to a joint task force with the St. Louis PD that puts her back into contact with her father and in the sights of St. Louis’s most powerful gang.
When the gang has reason to believe Mercy has possession of some highly sensitive and incriminating information, her boss assigns Mark St. Laurent–a Deputy U.S. Marshal and Mercy’s ex-boyfriend–to get her out of town until they can guarantee her safety.
Initially unaware of the danger she’s in and uncomfortable working with Mark, Mercy’s frustration escalates when she discovers the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her in the dark. It isn’t until a freak ice storm hits, stranding them at a remote location and out of contact with the district office, that the full severity of their situation becomes clear.
As the storm worsens, the forces of nature combine with a deadly enemy closing in to put their lives at imminent risk. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive–if help is even coming at all?
My Review
If you are looking for a great suspenseful, inspirational fiction book, you’ve got to read Fatal Frost. This book really puts you in the middle of the action. The characters are very realistic in their struggles and strengths. I love how Mercy struggles with her past. She has not had an easy life, yet she is fiercely protective of her friend Tally. It shows that even though her life hasn’t been easy, she is loyal and doesn’t give up. Mark, her ex-boyfriend, hasn’t given up on Mercy in spite of the fact that when he became a Christian, she pushed him away.
When Mercy needs protection from a drug cartel, Mark and Tally help formulate a plan to get Mercy out of harm’s way. She has no idea that she is in trouble though and thinks they are going to protect a witness. A freak storm causes them to wreck the car and become in more danger than they expected.
This book will definitely keep you guessing! I recommend it to all of you inspirational suspense book lovers.
