Waiting for Mercy is the second book in the Cambion series. Mercy is a half demon succubus, with a half succubus mother and a demon father. This makes her a cambion. Her mother recently married David, an incubus and now they live in his house with him and his son Flynn. Flynn is HOT. Mercy's mother, David and Flynn have to feed from the lust of humans to survive, but for some reason, Mercy doesn't have to, although she can still drain a human's life force with her kiss. She's not sure why she's different, her mother keeps a lot from her about what she is and Mercy is not the type to push for it.
Mercy is a really likeable protag. She is surrounded by amazingly hot guys who all seem to be interested in her. Luke is her half nephilim on/off boyfriend who is completely in love with her and she's in love with him. Flynn, seems attracted to Mercy but she thinks its just because he can't have her. He can have any girl at school he wants, and does, to keep himself fed. Sebastian is a pure demon who Mercy met in the first book, Beg for Mercy. He is now living with them and Mercy is not sure exactly why. He also seems to be attracted to Mercy. And Paul, Mercy's first human boyfriend, whom she nearly killed with her kiss because she didn't know what she was. All of these guys are awesome. Its kind of like a love pentagon, and I find myself rooting for whichever guy she's with at the time. I just can't decide who I like best.
Shannon has created a bunch of awesome characters and together they all make for a really entertaining read. There is a lot going on in this book and I loved all the action, suspense and interaction between all the characters. I really like Shannon's writing style and this books flows along so well. I couldn't bear to put it out of my hands. It's great to start to enjoy a book from the first page on. The world that Shannon has created seems to be one where anything exists. In this we have the existence of demons, vampires, werewolves/shapeshifters, elves and fae.
The ending of this was awesome....and cruel. We end on a major cliffhanger. I finished this book over 24 hours ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. This is shaping up to be an absolutely amazing series. I know I will be reading both of these books again soon as its a while since I read Beg for Mercy and I want to go back and read them both again, together. I cannot wait until the next book comes out. These books are extremely cheap on Amazon and I just urge you all to take a chance. Don't miss out on a great series.
Ohhh I so want to read these. I bought the first book forever ago. I love a good succubus story! But yes it sounds like the book has an overload of hot guys. And crazy that her mom marries a half incubus and she is half succubus. Makes for one sexually charged family! LOL
Oh so good to hear the ghost story has a happy ending. I seriously always ask now before I start a series. I hate sad endings. I never want to read a book as depressing as Shade ever again.
Ooh this sounds intriguing! I love powerful endings that leave a mark - which is why I secretly love cliffhangers (when they're good, not when they're only there to have us buy book 2). I hadn't heard of this series before I'm gonna go check out book 1!
I didn't realise this was a series. I've heard good things about the first book but haven't read it yet. I'm glad you enjoyed this! Although cliffhangers frustrate me, I want to find out why you can't stop thinking about it! Amazing review, Suzanne. :)
I remember the steamy quote from TT you posted. Glad this is an all around good series, especially if it is cheap. I dread the cliffhanger but if you say it js good I will take your word for it and check it out. Have a wondeful weekend, Suzanne.
Oh, how come this is the first time I heard about this book? It sounds totally amazing! I love reading books about succubus. They always seem to enchant me LOL! x) I'm wondering whether I would end up liking Mercy or envying her for getting so many attention from gorgeous boys LOL. Hopefully I can read this book soon and find out! :)
Such a beautiful review, Suzanne! So glad you really enjoyed this book! <3
