Review: The Mercy of Demons (Underestimated Series Book 6) by Candice Wright

The Mercy of Demons The Mercy of Demons by Candice M. Wright
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amnesia Sucks

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This is the 6th book in a connected series of stand-alone stories, with an overarching plot. You don’t need to read the other books to understand this one, but it will certainly help you understand a few sections of the plot better if you do.

Mercy is a Kings of Carnage MC Princess. Her uncle Inigo is a member of the club and as her father died when she was very young her uncle stepped up to provide her with a father figure. As a result she spent a lot of time around the club. This is what pulls her into a bad situation with an enemy of the Club. Left for dead with amnesia it takes an act of faith to follow a clue and believe what the Club tells her.

To protect her she is sent to the Chaos Demons MC, where she will be hidden. She is assigned three protectors, one of which is Scope who is distinctly unhinged and decides that Mercy is ‘his’. The other two Kaz and Wizz get sucked into the situation to help dilute the Scope effect.

This book ties up a lot of loose threads of the story and as such, I feel like it tried to do a little too much. I also thought the whole amnesia part of the story was a little soap opera for my liking. It wasn’t really necessary to the plot except to provide a reason for Mercy’s original vulnerability when she’s a complete bad*ss. It also meant that the book was almost split into two halves, with me feeling a connection with Mercy before she remembered who she was and trying to connect in the same way with a brand new character who had history and knew herself and her capabilities. It made the story a little disjointed to me.

However, as always this author writes a story that sucks you in and characters that make you smile. There is so much filth you will need to fan yourself, so don’t read it in public if you blush easily.

I’ll be sad to see this series end, but the author writes at the end of the book that there will be spin-off books with side characters from this series, so that makes me happy.
