• What an exciting murdermystery/thriller. Although this bookwas suppose to arrive last December it was well worth thewait and is an early reviewer's copy.The story is about a school for troubled teens where the sister of the main character, Jules, has been sent by courtorder. Not convinced her sister should be in a place like this, Jules begins to investigate the school, only todiscover several disturbing facts. One, a girl has beenmissing for over six months, and a teacher has been firedfor inappropriate sexual contact with one of the students.Then she receives a hysterical phone call from her sisterclaiming unusual dangerous activity is going on and to beg her to get her out of the place.Jules comes up with a plan to go undercover as a teacherat the school.......as a way to get her sister out. Before shearrives, 2 students are killed. Right after her arrival, a snow storm isolates the school, with a killer in their midst.Well written thriller and enough twists to keep you turning pages till the unexpected revelations at the end.

• set in an isolated school for troubled teens, this is another excellent book by lisa jackson. what i like most about her books is that they are real page turners. you have to keep reading because of the way she weaves her stories. it's the same with this book, the characters are interesting and you want to see what is going to happen to them.i would highly recommend this book.

• Lisa Jackson is an auto buy author for me and never disappoints. Without Mercy is no exception. The story itself was riveting, but one of the things I like about her writing are the characters she creates in her books. You will find that her heroes and heroines are never perfect, but flawed in many ways. Even the villains are not always pure evil. I am always trying to figure out "who done it" when reading murder/mysteries and sometimes I'm successful, but this time, I was so not expecting the ending. Great read!

• I have never had the pleasure of reading a Lisa Jackson novel before, but after this one I will be reading more. This book had me turning pages at lightening speed. I couldn't wait to know what was going to happen next. I liked the two main characters/narrators, Cooper and Jules, and was routing for them throughout the book to solve the mystery, stay alive, and fall in love. The final twist at the end blew me away. I knew it wasn't over yet, but boy I didn't see "that" coming. I will warn readers that there is some strong sexual language in the book, which while I didn't bother me, may bother others.
