Publisher's summary

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal best seller

A missing woman leads the alpha heroes on their boldest mission yet in New York Times best-selling author Susan Stoker’s searing Mountain Mercenaries novel.

It’s been 10 years since Rex’s wife, Raven, disappeared from a Vegas casino. Never losing hope, he even formed the Mountain Mercenaries to help find her - and other missing wives, sisters, and children. Now Rex and his fearless team are following a lead to Lima, Peru, where the rescue operation is greater than they imagined.

A day at a time. That’s been Raven’s motto for a decade. Once held captive by an elusive sex trafficker, she has an indomitable will to survive. But Raven’s not ready to leave Peru. She can’t. Not yet. Because her liberation from the barrios comes with devastating consequences. One wrong move and all hope will be lost to an unimaginable hell.

For the Mountain Mercenaries, the stakes have been raised. The threats are escalating. But Rex hasn’t searched this long, risked so much, and come this far to lose Raven all over again.

Awesome!!!!

I love all Stoker books but of the books that have come out since Shelter for Penelope this is my favorite. Holy smokes. Without giving too much away, it is slightly different with so much of the book taking place away from home and the road to togetherness isn’t smooth at all despite finding each other early on but soo worth the rough ride. I always hate when a series ends but this was a great series finisher letting us in on years later for Raven & Dave but also clueing in to the fact that the other mercenaries and families are thriving. Well done!!! Loved it. When I started this series this book was not listed as coming soon so I wasn’t sure we’d get Rex’s story. I’m SO glad we did!

Great ending to this series!

I have been looking forward to this book since the preview at the end of ‘Zara’...and was not disappointed!! Lots of bad guys and drama but the Mountain Mercenaries came through in the end and Rex/Dave finally got his wife back! The extended epilogue put a neat bow on the series. Narrator’s work on all of the characters helped to make this a series ending to remember.

FINALLY!

While the running time of 10hrs. and 21 mins was a little long, this book was good. The subject matter (sex trafficking) was totally disgusting & we know that it does happen. I liked this one because unlike other books on this subject the trafficker met a little justice & the people responsible for giving it to him didn't whine or feel bad about it, SEX TRAFFICKERS OF WOMEN & CHILDREN DESERVE NO SYMPHATHY!

Best book ever! Period.

I love Susan stokers books but I think she out did herself with this story on every level. Do yourself a favor and read the series in order then settle in fir this final book and just experience every emotion humans have inside them. Enjoy every moment. Then hug someone in your life and love them more. Yes, it’s that good. Thank you for the privilege of reading, listening to this story. I’m humbled and in awe.

Loved this series!

This series was so amazing. I loved every story and I’m sad that it’s coming to an end. I was so curious to hear Rex’s story and I was not disappointed. This book was beautiful and I loved every minute of it! Will continue to read more books by Susan Stoker! Stella did this series justice with her narration and I hope to hear more from her in the future.

Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic story and conclusion for the series!

This was a fantastic read! It really dives into the depth of our characters this time around and the horrible things that happen in the sex trafficking world and how hard it is to find missing loved ones and get them out. This story drew me in from beginning to end and I loved watching good prevail and while one day at time isn’t easy it can get you through until help comes or things get better. This was a fantastic ending to the series and while I am sad to be leaving these characters, I’m happy to see them all with their happily ever after.
