Mercy (Mercy #1)
In Paradise, Mercy meets Ryan, an eighteen-year-old whose sister was kidnapped two years ago and is presumed dead. When another girl is also taken, Mercy knows she has to act quickly and use extraordinary powers to rescue her, even if it means exposing her true identity.
An electric combination of angels, mystery and romance, Mercy is the first book in a major new series.
MERCY Unfortunately I didnt enjoy this novel at all. I found Lims writing style to be quite clunky and the storyline was cliché and unappealing. The idea of Mercy being an exiled celestial has premise, especially with angels being the new vampires, but this fact seems to become lost in the story and besides vague mentions of dream-like encounters with Luc and others, the reader is left more confused than ever. The start of the novel was baffling and the characters like Tiffany and the choirboys
2.5 stars and I am pissed.This book could have been SO much better.Let's see: the concept is interesting. Mercy is an angel who, for reasons unknown, possesses bodies of women for purposes unknown. That means that all of a sudden she wakes up in a body that is not hers and she has to live with that body for a certain period of time. In this continuous process, she tries to get to Luc, a mysterious man who she seems to want to be with. When we meet Mercy, she wakes up in the body of Carmen

I really enjoyed reading Mercy.

Mercy is a fallen angel, though she doesnt remember much of that time. She did something bad enough to get herself kicked out & she is now inhabiting host bodies with no idea why. She cant even count the number of times she has woken up in a new body and started a new life.
