House of Mercy by Erin Healy


Choices.  Consequences.  Mercy.  These are the topics that Erin Healy tackles in her fourth solo novel, and it may be her most powerful yet.  As the story begins, we meet Beth Borzoi, a girl who dreams of becoming a vet, and who believes she may have healing powers.  Her family operates a ranch, the Blazing B, that gives second chances to its tenants.  But Beth makes a choice that could bring it all to an end.  She, like all of us, tries to mend things on her own, but instead she causes a downward spiral that seems to have no end in sight.  To save the ranch, she must find her grandfather, a man she’s never met, and on her journey, she has an unusual companion to guide her way.

                As is with Erin Healy’s other novels, and her co-authored stories, she keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.  House of Mercy is suspenseful and fast-paced, and also spiritually challenging and supernatural.  And as all the good writers do, she leaves you scratching your head at the end.

                I would definitely recommend House of Mercy, as well as Healy’s three other novels, and I would rate this story as 4 out of 5 stars.

                I was provided this book by Thomas Nelson publishers and their Booksneeze program in exchange for my honest review.
