Mercedes Guy is the young adult author of the fantasy What It Took, inspired by Alexz Johnson's song "Voodoo". She published the first version of her book in 2014. After going through professional editing and combining What It Took To Realize & Voodoo to one complete story, she published the edited version on September 4th, 2016 as What It Took.

What It Took takes place in Folly, SC. After working on the story for about 4 years, she had finally finished it in November, a year before publishing in paperback, later republishing it in 2016.
