Book Review - Muse (Mercy, #3) by Rebecca Lim

Muse by Rebecca Lim
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love how with this series I can put down say book 2 then pick up book 3 4-5 months down the track and still know what is going on without batting an eyelid. This series is fantastic! We see more of Mercy's story unfolding and the ending leaves you hanging for the next book.

If you haven't read the first 2 books then go out and buy them.

Mercy is dropped into a famous glamour model and suddenly hell starts to break loose.

Brilliant!

Book Review - Mercy #2 Exile - Rebecca Lim

EXILE is the breathtaking sequel to MERCY in a major new paranormal romance series.

Mercy′s search continues ...

All Mercy knows is that she is an angel, exiled from heaven for a crime she can′t remember committing.

So when she ′wakes′ inside the body and life of eighteen-year-old Lela Neill, Mercy has only limited recall of her past life. Her strongest memories are of Ryan, the mortal boy who′d begun to fall for her - and she for him.

Lela′s life is divided between caring for her terminally ill mother and her work as a waitress at the Green Lantern, a busy city cafe frequented by suits, cab drivers, strippers, backpackers and the homeless, and Mercy quickly falls into the rhythm of this new life.

But when Mercy′s beloved, Luc, reappears in her dreams, she begins to awaken to glimpses of her true nature and her true feelings for Ryan. How can she know that her attempts to contact Ryan will have explosive consequences?

Meanwhile, ′the Eight′ - responsible for her banishment - hover near, determined to keep Mercy and Luc apart, forever ... 

The story picks up not too long after the events of 'Mercy'

This time Mercy is in Australia and she has been tampered with so she can't remember her days as Carmen. The story progresses nicely and starts off with a bang. It leaves you at the edge of your seat the whole time. It only took me a day to read and now I really really want the third book 'Muse' when it comes out. You get to know more of Mercy and what has been done to her also you are introduced to more characters from her past.  

This is a nice series that isn't in your face religous, I am enjoying it immensively and am glad that I picked it up.  

Book Review - Mercy - Rebecca Lim

Mercy ′wakes′ on a school bus bound for Paradise, a small town where everyone knows everyone else′s business -- or thinks they do. But they will never guess the secret Mercy is hiding ....

As an angel exiled from heaven and doomed to return repeatedly to Earth, Mercy is never sure whose life and body she will share each time. And her mind is filled with the desperate pleas of her beloved, Luc, who can only approach her in her dreams.

In Paradise, Mercy meets Ryan, whose sister was kidnapped two years ago and is now presumed dead. When another girl disappears, Mercy and Ryan know they must act before time runs out. But a host of angels are out for Mercy′s blood and they won′t rest until they find her and punish her -- for a crime she doesn′t remember committing ...

I have heard a lot of hype about this book so I was a bit hestitant to read it. Yesterday morning I picked it up as I needed something to read and I finished it last night. It was well written and the story was great. Mercy is an angel who has committed a terrible deed she doesn't remember. Her punishment is to take over the bodies and lives of random people who need her. She has lost all her memories of her former angel self and doesn't know what she is. Only she is starting to remember. In this book, Mercy is Carmen, a sorprano singer in a choir who gets caught up in a case everyone tells her to leave alone. I really enjoyed this book and it was easy to read. I like the idea that her memories come back to her slowly as we grow closer to the character.

A very good read and I can't wait to read Exile, the 2nd book in the series.
