TBR Tuesday: Mercy

Most of us have books we've bought with all intentions of reading (or maybe just because it was cheap!), only to have them fade away on a shelf or disappear into a stack of books, never to be seen or thought of again.
TBR Tuesday is a way to talk about the books we own but haven't read, see what other people think about them, and help us decide whether to bump it up our list or knock it off completely.




On my TBR

Mercy by Rebecca Lim
Paranormal, 288 pages
Disney Hyperion
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.


A couple of weeks ago we had a Friday Face Off featuring three gorgeous covers for the book Mercy.  Ever since, this book has kinda been calling my name.  I need to start preparing for Helluva Halloween, so I don't know if I can squeeze it in quite yet, so I need to know whether it's worth some crunch-time reading: Do I add Mercy to the September TBR pile, or do I wait until after Helluva Halloween?  Have you guys read this one?  Is it a Now or a Later?

  3. My TBR list is so long, and there are a few books that always seem to get shoved to the bottom of the list. For example, I picked up a cheap copy of Villette by Charlotte Bronte a long time ago. I've started it, but never finished it. Poor Villette!

    Also, I’m a new follower— wonderful blog! Stop by my blog and follow me too? :) http://rachelbrookswrites.blogspot.com/
