A fallen angel haunted by her past. Yearning for her immortal beloved. Forever searching for answers.Who will show her Mercy?
Mercy has lost herself. She can’t count how many times she’s “woken up” in a new body, and assumed a new life, only to move on again and again. During the day she survives in the human world on instinct and at night her dreams are haunted by him. Mercy’s heart would know him anywhere. But her memory refuses to cooperate.
But this time is different. When Mercy wakes up she meets Ryan, an eighteen year old reeling from the loss of his twin sister who was kidnapped two years ago. Everyone else has given up hope, but Ryan believes his sister is still alive. Using a power she doesn’t fully comprehend, Mercy realizes that Ryan is right. His sister is alive and together they can find her. For the first time since she can remember, Mercy has a purpose; she can help. So she doesn’t understand why the man in her dreams cautions her not to interfere. But as Ryan and Mercy come closer to solving the dark mystery of his sister’s disappearance, danger looms just one step behind.
Will Mercy be able to harness her true self and extraordinary power in time?
The first in a dazzling new series, Mercy masterfully weaves romance, mystery and the supernatural into a spell-binding tale.

I'm excited to have Rebecca Lim with us today. Recently I was able to ask her:
What are 5 books that made an impression on you either as a Teen or as a fan of YA books?
There are almost too many to name, but one that made a huge early impression was The Neverending Story by the German author Michael Ende. Don’t let the truly diabolical film that was made of the book (in the 1980s) stop you from reading it!
The Great Gatsby, In Cold Blood and To Kill a Mockingbird were each strikingly different, and totally incomparable. Just eye-opening to a kid. I was obsessed with 20th century American fiction as a teen.
I loved The Lord of the Rings cycle and The Hobbit. The Once and Future King by T.H. White.
In recent times, The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman was extraordinary, as were the Harry Potter books by J.K. Rowling. Both authors constructed such rich, believable and totally three-dimensional worlds. I’ve just read the first of The Hunger Games trilogy, which was fantastically enjoyable, so dark and fast-paced. And The Book Thief by Australian author Markus Zusak was just stunning in every way: lyrical, rage-filled, beautiful.
Sorry, I think I just cheated and ran way over nominating 5 books!
