The blurb for this book made it sound very interesting-the not quite human, trying to hide her secret supernatural power to manipulate minds and suppress her desire to use it to her own advantage. It sounds like a dark urban fantasy book that will be full of ass kicking by our heroine as she faces dark forces around and within her. Great! Lets give this book a try! And doesn't it also have a great cover to entice you to buy it?!!Sadly this was not what the book was. First we have to endureBeg for Mercy begins when Mercy ends up using her gift on someone because she got angry. Now, she must face the consequences when someone dangerous comes to find her and get back what was taken from them. She never imagined she and the few friends she has would end up in danger, but that's exactly what happens. Mercy must now do everything in her power to keep those she cares about safe no matter what. This book was okay. It wasn't really great, and I got a little bored with it at times, but it
If you love paranormal romances and anything paranormal, you'll be interested in the Mercy Hollings series. Mercy is anything but normal. She has a special "gift", when she can take control of their minds with the "press". Sometimes she uses it for a greater good, while other times not so much. We can get into her world--and her mind--on when and how she controls it by a flick of a switch in her mind. And she's been a loner with no clue to her biological parents. But when her friend Sukey is in
As stated in the opening line, the heroine may not know what she is but she knows she's not quite human. This powerful and vastly unwanted 'gift' of persuasion has made her guard her secrets well and to put up that emotional wall between her and life in general. Childhood experiences when the push came out has shaped her into a recluse-someone who shuns relationships and is though of by those around her to be 'mysterious' and illusive. But as her teen years molded herself, her adult years have
you know, i didn't even originally want to read this. the cover just looked so much like something for sci fi, and i am totally not a sci fi fan. but then i got repeatedly recommended on amazon, and it was really just a matter of time. the premise also sounds quite intriguing, so i really just couldn't help myself.in the end, i actually quite enjoyed it, or maybe that's because this was my recovery from the book i read earlier today, which made me cringe so much. not that the author's
This was a hard read, I forced myself through this one....the idea was definitely a good one, but unfortunately the execution was not good at all. I am not sure I will move to the next one, probably not.
I mostly enjoyed this one up until about 3/4 through when we hit the major crisis. The tension between Sam and Mercy is nice and their first intimate encounter was really well done, however once Mercy realizes Sukie's been taken, it all falls apart.Why do Sam, the two strangers she once "pressed" to help her and the old lady just help her without asking any questions? Yeah, let's go after a violent drug dealer just because this girl we hardly know asked us to. Sorry, don't buy it. I didn't have
