Without Mercy Overview

Ever since her father was stabbed to death in a home invasion, Julia “Jules” Farentino has been plagued by nightmares. Her half-sister, Shaylee, now seventeen, has had her own difficulties since the tragedy, earning a rap sheet for drug use, theft, and vandalism. Still, when Jules learns of her mother’s decision to send Shay to an elite boarding school in Oregon, she’s skeptical. Blue Rock Academy has a reputation for turning wayward kids around — but one of its students went missing a few months earlier and her body has never been found.
On impulse, Jules applies for a teaching job at the Academy. Shortly before Jules arrives, a student is found hanged, another near death, and a hysterical Shay believes it’s murder. Then another girl is found dead. There’s no doubt something sinister is at hand. And Jules has become the next target of a bloodthirsty killer without limits, without remorse, without mercy…

Customer Reviews

If you read my past review on Lisa Jackson you will see I did NOT have much respect for her as a writer.. I have read most of her books and for the most part I did not like them... yes I know I should not read them then, but I LOVE to read especially mysteries so I buy names I know when they come out if nothing else is out! Plus sometimes she suprises me.. like this time.

This story is about a young woman named shay who gets sent away to a boarding school for troubled teens. Her Sister is very suspicious of the idea and his way out of his sister to come home from school, once adopted by a young woman missing from school, before listening. Apply for a teaching job to start school, she encounters an old flame, which incidentally are working undercover, and other murders.

The reason was that I liked this story, was to obtain quick, easy and the end was great. I love mysteries, where at the end surprised me and the whole history is your opinionhave it figured out, and you might, but the final twist is shocking. i read alot of mysteries and LOVE that i can usually figure it out before the end but this time i didnt.

I have to give credit where its due.. lisa jackson did very well this time!

the reason i am only giving 4 stars is because i have the same complaint i have had before with her that was not changed in this book. her overuse of the word "damn" is out of control. every page has the word about 4 times on it! and its not like she just says "damn it". its "hey did you see my damn panties anywhere" etc ... damn it all to hell, damn it all, damn this, damn that, damned etc etc.. its a little ridiculous. and it makes her books sound way to melodramatic. Also she has started using the word hell alot too. literally something bad happens and her character says "hell". if you found a dead body, or heard someone died would you say "hell" ??? No. i know its just a book but her overuse of the word damn is out of control. she needs a better editor.
