Summary:
Following in her absentee father's footsteps in a law enforcement career, US Marshal Mercy Brennan has just recovered from being shot in the line of duty. And, unbeknownst to her, her father's recent reappearance in her life has put her in the sights of St. Louis's most powerful gang. Her boss assigns Deputy US Marshal Mark St. Laurent--Mercy's ex-boyfriend--to get her out of town until her safety can be guaranteed.
Unaware of the extent her boss and Mark have been keeping her in the dark, it isn't until a freak ice storm strands 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 to put them in great danger. Can they survive long enough for help to arrive--if help is even coming at all?
My Thoughts:
Although this seems to be the typical police/mystery/gang book, I actually enjoyed it more than I thought I would, even though this isn't the genre I typically read.
Mercy is known as "Frosty the Snow Cop" because of her inability to open up to people in her life, which is why she broke up with Mark, and why she never forgave her father for leaving her family alone. Shortly after having lunch with her father, who tried to apologise for not being there for her when she needed it, Mercy finds out that her father was killed by a gang--and that he was killed for a piece of evidence to catch this gang. When the gang didn't find the evidence from her father, they started to target her, thinking that they would find it since she was his daughter. This forces her to go into hiding, which didn't actually do any good, since the gang found them stranded from a storm...
Although I did somewhat enjoy this book, I wouldn't be interested in reading the rest of this series whenever it comes out.
My Rating: 3 stars
