Another great book by Stacey!
This one was fantastic and I enjoyed it immensely.
I loved Mercy, as with all of Stacey’s female characters. Strong, wily, determined.
I loved Tom and the St. Claire’s girls.
I loved Jack as well too.
This was such a great book and I highly recommend it!

I love Stacey Lee's protagonists. And Mercy is no exception. She's intelligent, strong and funny. 

The plot is quite simple and not what I expected from the author given the great plot of Under a Painted Skype. 
This book is slow paced. The plot is simpler for the first half of the story. It was a bit too slow. There were some pretty funny parts but mostly almost boring. Mercy is, in my opinion, what keeps you hooked to the story. Her characterization is amazing and the secondary characters are very good too. 
The story picks up a lot in the second half of the book. There's more tension, more emotion. And the end killed me. I loved it. 

All in all, Outrun the Moon is another great book by a great author.
