Angel Of Mercy (The Fallen #1)
by
Lisa Olsen (Goodreads Author)
When Mercy wakes up in the hospital after a brutal stabbing, she has little recollection of the attack; only the blurred memories of a mysterious stranger with piercing blue eyes that haunts her dreams. After spotting the same man, that only she can see, Mercy follows him home, brazenly confronting him. (kids at home, never do that!) Her savior turns out to be less than hu...more

When I read a book, I usually have one of three reactions. I may hate it and can’t even finish reading it. I may like it but find myself distracted easily and thinking of how I would write the story differently. (Those books are part of the reason I became a writer). And the third reaction: I may love it and find myself unable to put it down. For those books, I find myself thinking of the story long after I’ve finished reading the book. Every page is a joy and I can’t wait to read more. That cat...more
First off....FREE.....nook book. Did I ever mention that I love free books?
Better part, this is a good, well written book. I wouldn't call this an all time best seller but the book flows smoothly, the characters are interesting and funny, and there is a good plot. It kind of reminds me of the tv series angel. Not the vampire part but the part that people are complex and who you think is a bad person is just normal. Flaws and all. Even angels and fallen angels.

I received a copy of this book from Goodreads for free through the First Reads program.
I really enjoyed this book, but it is much more of a set up for upcoming books than a story of its own. Not a lot actually happens, aside from the beginning event that changes the main character's life and is the basis for the entire series. The rest is more her learning who she is and about the new people in her life, as well as her man problems. It did make me want to read the rest of them though, as it's se...more

Solid 4.5
I really do love the whole Fallen Angel thing, because what worse can happen to Fallen Angel?!
Mercy was a super awesome protag. She took everything in stride but in a believable way. I thought Sam was going to be a love interest and was super glad to see he wasn't, he is way too innocent.
Though there was a love triangle, it wasn't bad. Very nicely done.
I really loved this book, and cannot wait to see what happens next. Hopefully the next will have some steamy sex or more action?

I'm not usually a fan of first person POV books, but this one drew me right in from the start. The author set up an interesting world of fallen angels and demons mixed in with urban city living in Seattle. I liked the nifty set of powers that Mercy got from being touched by and angel. I just hope the next one comes out soon!
A problem I struggle with in this series is how quickly the main characters fall in love. They've spent about 3 hours together and now love each other.... Hmmmm. Life rarely works this way outside of high school.
Excellent storytelling with a unique plot line. I look forward to the next book to get more of the story.

I actually enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure I would when I started it. I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.
Really liked this book now I'm interested in reading the next book!
Liked the story not so much the open ended ending
Loved it, couldn't put it down!

I'm in the minority once again. I had to stop when I got half-way thru. I didn't find the story or the characters interesting at all. In fact, I thought I was reading about teens in high school. Didn't help that it was hard to believe that Mercy is 26 years old and not a teen because she acted and talked like one. Didn't enjoy this one at all.
interesting-will definitively read the next installment
