Holy Freakin' WOW!!! Pure awesomeness from Shannon Dermott!! I loved book one in this series but the author has really outdone herself with book two!!

Shannon Dermott does the whole multiple love interest thing so well. I never at any stage get tired of Mercy and all her guys!! Usually when I read a story that has more than one love interest, I'm decided straight up who I would choose. But there is something so amazingly appealing about all of these male characters that I just don't want any of t Holy Freakin' WOW!!! Pure awesomeness from Shannon Dermott!!

Shannon Dermott does the whole multiple love interest thing so well. I never at any stage get tired of Mercy and all her guys!! Usually when I read a story that has more than one love interest, I'm decided straight up who I would choose. But there is something so amazingly appealing about all of these male characters that I just don't want any of them to end up hurt or to have their hearts broken!! I think I would still have Mercy be with Luke, but boy, if Flynn isn't making me question that!! And then there is Sebastian and Paul. And all four of them are so different!!

So, let's talk about these characters a little bit....
MERCY: Let me just say how damn lucky Mercy is!! The amount of incredibly hot and gorgeous guys she has after her is enough to make my head spin, but damn if I'm not jealous!! I really felt that Mercy came into her own in this book. She really matured and grew. And I really looked forward to her use of each SAT word throughout the book.
PAUL: I don't have the same intense affections for him as I do the other characters, but as Mercy's friend, I like him!
SEBASTIAN: He's been there to save and rescue Mercy many times. He's given advice and I really think that his feelings for Mercy are genuine. And I love that accent.
FLYNN: Hot and delicious!! The incredibly sexed up Flynn has a soft, sweet and caring inner core all wrapped up in this sexy outer layer!! When him and Mercy are together that's exactly want I want!!
LUKE: And when Mercy is with Luke, that is exactly what I want!! And he is the one that Mercy loves. I feel so sorry for him sometimes. It can't be easy dating Mercy. Luke is sweet and loyal and towards the end of the book we see a bit of a difference in him that I absolutely loved!!

Waiting For mercy is action packed with a whole range of supernatural beings. We have Angels, Demon's, half demon's, shifters, Fae, Succubus, Incubus and even a vampire... You name it, this book has it going on!! There is always something happening to keep you completely engrossed in the story. The authors writing style is wonderfully easy to read and incredibly free flowing and smooth.

And what about that cliffhanger of an ending!!! Far out!! How am I possibly going to wait for book three? I am the most impatient person ever!! A huge thank you to Shannon Dermott for writing one of my favourite series. Go read it and make it one of yours!!

I really enjoyed this book. I think the 2nd book in a series is so important. It's somewhat easy to hook a reader in to the first book but to hold that attention is difficult with the 2nd. I can not wait for the 3rd book to come out. The cliffhanger at the end of this book definitely leaves you wanting to know what happens next. The love triangle, or square is probably more accurate, does get complicated but I think that it is true to Mercy's character and what she is. It makes sense that she wo ...more

It's not often an author can get a love square so right (I'm discounting Paul as I don't see him as an option for mercy) but Shannon Dermott has this down to a tee. Normally I'm rolling my eyes and getting frustrated with love shapes but this one just works and I would not be unhappy whoever mercy chooses. Okay, I would rather she pick Flynn but Luke is a very close second and Seb would do as well.

I had high expectations after finishing Beg for Mercy and Waiting for Mercy didn't disappoint, it w

Of course the book was great without a doubt. It captivated me completely and I read it almost in one breath. The ending? Sb wants to kill me ! I couldn’t sleep half night. Thought that I have to wait 5 mths is not helping.

Again, her idea with SAT words is brilliant. This is what I was looking for. English isn’t my first language and I am happy I can learn sth more and enjoy in the same time.

There was danger, fights and adventure - all things that made a good novel. However more than anything I was taken by Flynn. The boy was almost to hot to handle.

Flynn, of course is my favorite. It is impossible to resist his charm and lid bad boy. In fact, since the beginning, Mercy did not give him even a chance. I hope that there is still opportunity for them…. And Meggie? Really? I hope that in the next book there will be no more flirts between them. Meggie is a sweet with Brent and let it be.

Sebastian, I sincerely do not buy his spell.
Paul , sorry for wording but WTF ?

Luke, perfect golden boy? I have mixed feelings. He gives up sth for Mercy but what for? I understand that the book has to carry some message that love overcomes all… that we should fight for it and never give up. But still…. Eh, anyway, I have a feeling that Luke is not such a good boy how he seem to be, like he is hiding something. Maybe I'm wrong and look for something that is not in order to find reasons for which Mercy should not be with him. Maybe in the next book we will find more. Luke was always sweet and carrying but at the end we see the change.. will he become bad boy as well? Nah, Flynn will be my favorite anyway. I do not know why but in real life we all definitely would fall more for him that for Flynn, with books it is always different.

I hope the author does not resolve the love mess by killing someone. Somehow I always hope thinks will end up differently that it is written. After all, it's not my book, the author has the right to do it, so no complaining. I believe the best is yet to come in future books and I can't wait to read them. Enjoy reading everyone, I'm sure you will love this story.

Ps. Sorry for mistakes.

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. A-MAZ-ING!

***SPOILER ALERT***

For a new author Shannon Dermott really knows how to grab a readers attention and hold it until the very end. I do love Mercy despite her naivety and I share her anger towards her mother for with-holding information that could make such an impact on Mercy's life. How could her mom not tell her about Cambions? It doesn't matter if she's not entirely sure what Mercy is. Being her daughter, her mother should have at least shared what Mercy might be and abilities she mi A-MAZ-ING!

For a new author Shannon Dermott really knows how to grab a readers attention and hold it until the very end. I do love Mercy despite her naivety and I share her anger towards her mother for with-holding information that could make such an impact on Mercy's life. How could her mom not tell her about Cambions? It doesn't matter if she's not entirely sure what Mercy is. Being her daughter, her mother should have at least shared what Mercy might be and abilities she might have. That way Mercy could better protect herself as well as those around her.

I absolutely love Mercy's "harem" of boys. Ultimately, I have to say that I love Luke the most. There's just something about angels that appeal to me more than anything else. I really want a happy ending for Mercy and Luke because she loves him so much. I am very curious to see what happens with Luke's new darkness and hope he's able to overcome it. He's an angel and needs his wings!! I love Luke and this darkness is destroying his character!

Moving on to Flynn. Who doesn't love a bad boy? He's sexy and alluring and there's definitely more to him than a womanizing, life force sucking incubus. The question is what exactly. He's noble (although he hides it well) and there are definitely stronger feelings for Mercy than he lets everybody believe. The ending was a complete shocker! HE CAN'T DIE! I fell for Flynn a little more to the point where it's almost neck and neck between him and Luke as far as my preference for whom should end up with Mercy. Luke still has the lead though. :)

Sebastian. I like him. I wasn't sure what to make of him for the longest time. His empty eyes disturb me but there's something more to him as well. What is his purpose and will he really fulfill it if it hurts Mercy? Can he overcome the commands from his demon father who is apparently second to none except for the Devil? I don't favor Sebastian but I'm hoping for a noble streak that saves Mercy and keeps him out of eternal damnation.

Paul. What a freakin' surprise! Paul is supposed to be smart and when he summoned the demon to do his bidding I knew nothing could result but trouble. I know he was granted some sort of boon and when I found out that Amber wasn't pregnant I couldn't help but wonder if that was his wish/desire. I can't see Paul as anything but Mercy's best friend and I hope he is able to recover and fall back into that role. I also hope Shannon sees fit to give Paul some happiness in the end.

What to make of Tom... I'm not quite sure what's going on there but I'm very eager to find out his story. Maggie's story also took an interesting turn. And while I like Maggie I don't think that much of her. It seems like she's always scolding Mercy and then she brought Amber into the BFF circle without even talking to Mercy first. With Maggie being a possible werewolf, it'll be interesting to see how her story develops but I'll be pissed if it further poisons her relationship with Mercy.

The separation between McKayla and Mercy was also surprising. Secretly I want McKayla to either be absorbed and become part of Mercy making her more powerful or she just needs to get sucked out and go away. McKayla's periodic control of Mercy adds another twist but I do not want that girl to get her way. Luke needs to do away with McKayla. That's all I have to say about her.

There was great action throughout the book and wild surprises with every turn of a page! Shannon has done a phenomenal job of creating a world of characters that people can actually identify in one way or another and even if they can't their stories and personalities just draw you in! I have so many questions and I know Shannon will provide answers. Until then I definitely remain her dedicated reader! I can't wait for Angel of Mercy! With that as a title and Mercy's somewhat "immaculate" conception (as a Catholic, no offense intended) I'm hoping she is more divine than we are aware of. She is stronger than her demon side and very virtuous so I've got my fingers crossed that there's some angelic inspiration there and that there's hope for both her and Luke. Another fantastic story from Shannon Dermott!

**The only things that bugged me were spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors that I have found in both the Kindle version as well as the hard copies. These issues were easy to overlook as I so loved the books! :) ...more

How can someone say they didn't like it would really amaze me. Shannon Dermott again, did a good job to keep the reader curious and wanting for more. New things keep popping up and hence there was not once i got bored.

I loved Mercy's character she really changed compared in the first book and my it was exactly what she needed so. And Girls prepa ...more

This book defiantly leaves you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next installment! < spoiler alert> most of the book I felt like crying because I wanted to to work out so bad for Mercy and Luke. I felt like something was keeping them apart either physically or mentally. I love Luke and I want the good guy to win this time :) Shannon is an amzing writer and I can't wait to read Angel of Mercy! The whole series is defiantly worth reading atleast once! ...more
