Edge of Mercy by C. C. Marks is a fast-paced, well-written, exciting story that I could barely put down. The story is so compelling that I’m already immersed in the second of the series, Heart of Mercy.From the first page, the author throws the reader into the action as our heroine Charlotte (pretending to be a boy named Charlie) hunkers down for another night amidst the shrieks and pounding from the zombie-like Draghouls outside the walls of an isolated community of surviving humans.  I haven’t read any other zombie-themed books, but I am a fan of The Walking Dead, and there are striking similarities between the infection that causes the “turning” of humans and the way the disease spreads. Nonetheless, Edge of Mercy is a unique story about a young woman’s fight to survive in a world gone mad.Edge of Mercy is told from Charlie’s point of view in a voice that rings strong and true. Charlie is smart and impulsive and her courage grows as she learns more about the people in the community and their terrible secrets.Fans of the Hunger Games and The Walking Dead will love this book.
