The problem with Shem, Mahrree--with everyone, Perrin concluded--was that they couldn't see what he did. Shem said his mind was confusing him. Mahrree said it was nightmares. His children said nothing. But he knew the truth: he was surrounded by Guarders, masquerading as cats.Perrin is right: the Guarders are closing in. But on the edges of the forests another army is assembling, wearing green and brown mottled clothing.Because they have plans of their own for the wounded falcon in the barn.Book 4 in the "Forest at the Edge" series: Part fantasy, part adventure, part humor, part romance, part mystery all equates to a wholly entertaining and unique family saga. You've never read anything quite like this before.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended!

I enjoy checking out new authors' work and was attracted to this series due to the great reviews and the fact that three out of the five books were free at the time. That prompted me to buy the other two for a couple dollars each as I figured it was great opportunity to take a chance on a series I was unfamiliar with.

I was truly amazed at the character development. I felt I knew every character. The author illustrated everything--suspense, excitement, happiness, sadness--running the gamut of emotions that really made me feel them. Reading all five books in order really painted a more complete, in-depth picture. I'm so glad I got all five at once because once I was finished with one book, I couldn't wait to move on to the next. I fell in love with the family, their extended family, and the utopian lifestyle. If only we still lived like that. I wanted to leave my life, as great as it is, and jump into that utopia.

I can't wait until book 6 is finished. At this point I'd likely pay just about anything for it, they are truly that good!

Halfway through the series and I'm totally involved. I don't want to put it down for a minute. Having been held captive in a closed environment for generations with no knowledge of the world beyond their borders the truth is being discovered and some are escaping.

“There are many in the world who feel disaffected by it. It no longer reflects their beliefs or hopes. They’re alone and lost, and looking for something more. The Creator plants in all of us a seed of hope. Some people let it die. Some deliberately crush it. Some let others destroy it. But there are those who protect it and help it grow. They know something more is out there and they look for it.”
The fourth book in this series answers many questions, and still manages to leave the bigger picture (or destination) shrouded in mystery. The parallels drawn between today’s society and the one in the story are astonishing and impressive. The narrative explores a darker and even more emotional undertone, and the writing, again, is absolutely brilliant.

I have now read the first four books in this series, and plan to read the rest of them. I love the world Trish Mercer has built, very appealing, and just the right amount of similarity and exotic difference from our own. The characters are all carefully drawn, and their inner and outer conflicts handled with suspense and sensitivity. The characters, even the villains, are human and real, and the main characters are people we can all relate to and by the end of the first book, I felt like I had made some new friends. Descriptions are adequate, not overdone. I found all the books hard to put down, and look forward to reading more from Ms. Mercer. I am hoping to introduce this series to my granddaughter, who is very much into young adult fantasy and dystopian novels.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most awesome series!

FUN read!!!!! Heads up to those of you who have a Kindle... An LDS author named Trish Mercer has all of her 4 books free for Kindle users, & they're awesome! She is writing a long series (the pic shows her latest), & they are SO fun, yet deal with things we're seeing in the last days... government tyranny & bullying, anti-Christianity & the importance of having the Creator in our lives, apathy & mindlessness of the masses, men's hearts failing them... those kinds of things. Fun, fun read, but done in such a way that teens & older are woken up as to what's happening in our world today... It's awesome, & I'm so eager for the next one to come out! These are so good that I want my kids & husband to read them, so I've ordered them in regular book form!

Took ages to get to the point. Clicked through the pages just put it boredom. Average book - not sure what others saw in this.

This is not a stand alone book. You must start at the beginning with The Forest At The Edge of the World or you will miss so much! Also plan huge chunks of time for reading. While the books are not all edge of your seat action and drama, Trish Mercer develops characters that you literally fall in love with and have to remind yourself that these are only book characters, not your friends, and that their lives will be there after the dishes are done or you wake up in the morning. I found myself laughing, crying, grieving, worrying and basking in victories with the characters. Mrs. Mercer is truly exceptional at creating stories that span years yet keeping the readers interested and without the smut that is so common nowadays. I can't wait for the next book!
