Mercy Killers by Lisa Reardon

Mercy Killers isn’t connected to any hospital drama. It involves mercy killing, yes, in the hands of an innocent mind named PT who is surrounded by low lives he calls family trapped in a very unfortunate  world of depression and jadedness. But it's a story of brotherhood more than anything stretched beyond very abnormal circumstances...very. It’s a story unconventional friendships and unfashionable retribution. Sadly, this narrates people with their attempts to lead a normal life and then failing miserably at it. 

This book is sort of depressing. You’ll be reading dysfunctional characters that are beyond hope of saving. You’re introduced to them as they want something that they can’t have, having that courageous go at it, but only failing miserably. You’ll read about this mercy killer who offers refuge to some, but adds burden to his own brother.  It’s a showcase of love in all the wrong places.

The storytelling is simple, but I warn you that it’s not a happy one. You’ll be frustrated and you will question the character’s actions. It's real, but not entirely poetic. It’s one of those stories of contemporary tragedy that could happen at the corner block of any rough neighborhood.

Read this when you’re flying high and super happy. It's one of those books that puts things back on the ground.
