A review by ashliesydel
Mercer by Ruby Vincent
3.0
I had to take a few days before writing my actual review. I also peeked other's reviews to make sure I was not the odd man out.
The overall story line, the organized crime, the ledger, and the Merchants individual hardships was good. I really liked the diversity, the creativity, the raw power and shocking kills.
At first I didn't love Addy until her true nature and intentions were unveiled. Once she stopped pretending I thought she was bad ass. Gia for me went from bad ass to annoying. However in this book they both were just acting out of character and making dumb ass decisions.
Addy wtf. Your mom is trash, it was a struggle to read their bullshit. I feel like the author knew that this the mom storyline was garbage and tried to rationalize it but it was just a waste of space.
Mercer's story is still a mystery. I would have rather had a 5th book than for him to be short changed the way he was. The ending was rushed, exhausting, and unbelievable. I felt like it was cartoonish and visions of Batman's Gotham took over while reading. It was beyond ridiculous.
I was not satisfied with the ending to the series. With that said it's still a good series and I am glad there is a spin off, hopefully that will help fill in some of the missing pieces.
