"The Bloodshed Of The Betrayed (The Mercy Chronicles) by A. L. Slade is an assured, gripping, and stylish fantasy read; [the] totally mind-blowing angelic fantasy you've been needing... This is a novel that will thrill you like the page-turner it is but stick with you for a long time afterward. It's not every day a debut novel by an author you'd never heard of before derails your entire afternoon with its brilliance. But when my review copy of The Bloodshed Of The Betrayed (The Mercy Chronicles) arrived, that's exactly what it did. In fact, it arrowed upward to reach a pretty high position on my list of best fantasy novels ever."

"The romance is a pure joy to read and reconfirmed my belief that love is love. The addictive plot moves at a great pace with unexpected twists. The world-building along with the emotional narration makes The Bloodshed of the Betrayed an unputdownable read... If you're looking for a diverse fantasy with depth, pick up The Bloodshed of the Betrayed. If you're looking for a fantasy adventure you won't be able to put down, pick up The Bloodshed of the Betrayed. Highly recommend!"

"This book is nothing like anything I have read before, no uncanny resemblance [to] any other great work of fantasy, not one. This story is completely new and different in many ways... The book is a sure page-turner and [an] emotional roller coaster. I will recommend this book to everyone because I don't have any reasons why a person will not love this."

"From the start, the author [presents] this story in a twisted way that [has] everyone wanting to read till the end... The book's flow is so smooth and the author's descriptive story-telling style makes it more creative beyond imagination."
