Heat Level: Medium
This one is still painful. In fact I put off reading the end for about a week. I still love the characters and while this plot is interesting and progresses the overarching plot, it is unfortunately overshadowed by the events for me personally. I still ended up bumping it up half a star though.

This one hurts a bit when I read it with the events that happen toward the end. I do love the support that Mercy gets from multiple sources around her though. She feels alone, but realizes she's far from it. Another good installment in the series. I am enjoying this reread more than I thought I would.
