Angel of Mercy has finally arrived. I have read it. I loved it. And now I'm not sure what the heck to hope for to happen next!!!
Let's get the bad over with first...
*There were a lot of typos and grammatical errors that distracted me from time to time.
*Sometimes I forget that Mercy is only 17 and want to snatch her up by her hair and shake her.
*Some of the transitions were a little too fast. I was in a scene and then the next paragraph it was the next day.
What I liked about it...
I equally loved Flynn and Luke and felt really extremely sorry for all of them. I like how Shannon wrote this so that you really can see and understand how and why Mercy feels so conflicted. Through out she maintains her love for one, but with the other needing her help and their history it is easy to see how complicated it could get.
Some of the things that Flynn and Luke said were just too swoon worthy. I loved it.
I even loved Sebastian even though I don't trust him. I felt sorry for him in the end of this one. But thinking about him stalking around in his kilt while shirtless was very, very, nice!
I am looking forward to the next installment of this one I just really hope that it's not a year out before we get it. I'm dying to see how this all turns out. Because book 3 surely ended in a clusterfuck of how the heck is any of this going to end well?!?

Here is the real review, my original rant/ Flynn love fest can be found below the review. And, again, spoilers are here peeps ~ beware!
Angel of Mercy is a much more emotional installment to the Cambion series. Though, some of the signature humor of the characters was still there, it really was understated and played second fiddle to the roller coaster ride that is Mercy's tragic love life, that used to be some sort of confusing geometric shape but is now whittled down to a good old fashioned triangle.
Angel of Mercy picks up two weeks from where Waiting for Mercy leaves off...and what a major cliff hanger that was. My favorite chocolaty boy, Flynn for those of you not aware of where my allegiance lies, had his life hanging in the balance when he threw his chest between Mercy and a hatchet aimed at her heart.
The game has changed dramatically. The demon hunters are hell bent on taking Mercy out and whoever gets in their way. Flynn is dying a slow death that only Mercy can save him from. Luke is now also targeted by a group of powerful angels. Oh, and Mercy's tight lipped mother finally reveals some very major secrets. All of these things combine into a huge cluster of drama, turmoil and life threatening problems.
Pretty much most of these problems could be disarmed by one simple step. Break up with Luke. Stay away from him, move on, hook up with your demon counter-part.
Of course the easiest answer isn't the most popular choice for Mercy. Mercy and Luke are determined that their love will and can conquer all, that they can find some miraculous loop holes in the system that will give Luke his wings back, sever the tie that holds Flynn's life force to Mercy and set right all the things their love and Mercy's mere existence have torn apart.
New players enter the field and muddy the water, old players return to wreak havoc and chaos ensues. Chaos with some epic battle scenes that have Mercy letting her little hidden demon loose - which I loved! I am such a fan of McKayla, Mercy's demon personality. She is a riot of fun and games and trouble. Lots of trouble. But she's also the bad ass that has the balls to do what needs to be done and I can't help but wonder how things would have turned out if she had gotten to take the lead much sooner.
Now time for a little love triangle rant. I think Luke and Mercy deserve each other based on one fact. They are both utterly selfish. They talk a good game, saying they want to fix everything and help everyone but they do little but destroy lives. Including their own. Even if it isn't intentional. Love is selfless and these two don't have that figure out yet. Luke, in book one, came across as super sweet and squeaky clean but that has faded over time and now I see a tainted boy that just wants to hold on to the forbidden fruit he managed to grab hold of. But only if it means it happens on his terms, by his rules. Mercy isn't really much different. She wants Luke in her life more than anything else, right or wrong, good or bad. I wonder though, if guilt plays more in to her decision to stay with Luke than love. I know they love each other, it just feels more like a love born out of the need to have the one thing you know you can't have.
Flynn, the boy who came across as utterly arrogant and kind of cruel in the first book, has grown in to something amazing. His love for Mercy and Luke knows no bounds. Flynn is willing, and has attempted, to give his life up for Mercy. He'll set his heart aside for her and Luke to be together and now he'll set his life aside for it too. Can you get a truer love than that? I say, hell no. Luke may be the angel in this story but Flynn is the one who acts like one. He deserves someone who will love him as unconditionally and selflessly as he does Mercy. Mercy and her unstable ways don't deserve Flynn. But, I hope one day she will and I hope one day she can be what Flynn deserves.
Dermott has written characters that pull out all my emotions. Good and bad. The Cambion series elicits some huge emotions from me and I am forever a fan.
It's only flaw, other than all the 'Luke, I love you's' when it should so obviously be 'Flynn, I love you and only you, take me now'...is the editing. With a thorough editing this series would be perfectly, mouth watering, deliciously amazing! It's almost there it just needs little morsel of love.
Overall, it was nice to have more action and more emotions and I will be stocking up on different flavored chocolate chip cookies to bide the time until book four arrives.
********************************************************************
My Flynn Campaign (not my official review ~ just my rant)
*Contains Spoilers ~ don't read if you don't want to know*
I need to get some things off my chest. I've never truly loved Luke and have always felt Flynn was "the boy" Mercy should chose. As the series has moved, my feelings have become more cemented. Why does Flynn deserve Mercy more than Luke? Oh, let me count the ways...
Love, at its core, is selfless. Flynn may come across as an arrogant self absorbed boy-whore-wonder. And he is those things, except with Luke and Mercy. He has shown time and time again that he is willing to put his feelings, his heart and his life aside for them to have a chance at being happy together. He left town. He threw himself in front of a fucking hatchet to save her life. He's willing to die rather than force fully bonding with her. That's love.
What did Luke give up? Just his wings, which he's always kind of rebelled against anyway. And what good did it do? None. It only made it harder for him to protect the ones he cares for. And now he wants them back. Also, he knew from the start...before he knew Mercy enough to fall in love with her, that being with her was wrong. That she may be the only chance for Flynn's happiness and that he was supposed to be protecting her. Okay, so at the end of Angel of Mercy he finally makes a grand sacrifice. You know, the same one Flynn made way before. But too late in my mind. Luke is the selfish one here. Well, and Mercy.
It frustrates me to no end that she keeps 'seeing the love in Luke's eyes' but can't see Flynn's love for what it really is. True, selfless, unconditional. She's so damn wishy-washy with her decisions and determined to save everyone and still be with Luke even though that is really what's threatening to destroy everything. Then she goes and blames Sebastian for everything. Like she has no personal culpability in the situation.
Mercy and Luke deserve each other. They are both silly and selfish. Flynn deserves better but he loves Mercy and I want him happy, for once. So, I want Mercy to pull her head out of Angel Boy's ass and realize that Luke is not a boy who spews candy hearts and shits gold. He's been looking out for himself. Flynn on the other hand has been looking out for her and Luke first, putting his own health and heart to the side. Every. Damn. Time.
Okay, I'm done. For now. When I am finished reeling I will write a proper review. ;)
Side Note ~ Thanks Shannon for writing characters that elicit such big emotions from me. Doesn't happen often and I so love it when it does!!

When I can string together a coherent thought and I stop sobbing, I'm going to write a review and better explain why I LOVE this book. Now excuse me while alternate between crying, rocking myself in a corner, rereading every word, cursing Shannon Dermott for tearing out my heart and stomping it to the ground and giving me these FEELS, dammit! Why? Why? Whyyyyyy???!!!
July 23, 2013
I really want to do that
.
Why Oh Why did she have to go to Luke.. I'm More in love with Flynn Now and i really hope he makes more appearances in the next book..
And Mercy if Flynn died because you didn't do the deed..

Spoilers for previous books
Angel of Mercy was probably my most anticipated book this year, after Waiting for Mercy ended on quite the cliffhanger, and it was so worth the wait. It brought out all kinds of emotions within me, and completely shocked me to my core. I was just numb when I finished.
It begins two weeks after WFM left off. Mercy is sitting her SAT's and just can't concentrate, still hung up on the fact that Flynn almost died. I was so glad to see him up and about, and really enjoyed our first encounter back into their antagonism.
But as the book continued, it was plain to see that Flynn had changed. Gone was the happy go lucky guy I loved, and in his place was a guy who was seriously hurting and trying to hide it by being mean. He's also not recovering from his injury, which with his incubus healing, should be gone by now.
I felt the tone of this book was darker than the previous two. There are several attempts on Mercy's life by the hunters, and things are not helped by Sara, who spreads her discord throughout the house, and tries to break up Luke and Mercy. Mercy's mother turns completely against Luke, and everyone else it seems when Mercy finds herself living back in her old house with her mother, away from Flynn and David.
Sebastian unfortunately doesn't spend too much time with us in this book, and I'm really curious as to what he was up to. But there's a tie in apparently with one of Shannon's other series, and we can find out there. I really need to get around to picking up Alliance. There was an interesting revelation about him made by Mercy's mother though which was quite juicy.
As usual, with these books, there's a lot goes on. Mercy is kept in the dark by her mother about of a lot of stuff, and the reader is also left shrouded in this mystery, but I felt we found out a lot of interesting stuff in this one, and now with mention of a prophecy too, I'm so intrigued.
Events leading up to the ending of this book just turned my emotions upside down and left me shocked and stunned. And while Shannon had told us it was going to happen to someone, I still felt like I'd been hit by a truck when it did. I so wasn't ready for it. I feel people have been changed in ways that can't be undone, leaving me to think that the tone of book 4, may become darker yet.

Update 09/19: it's kind of book that breaks your heart. It took me 2 months to get over with this and finally write something and its hard without any spoilers....
I totally laaawd Flynn, oh my precious hot boy. My innocence was stolen. He just work its magic on you and soften your heart. I am constantly heart broken. The end of this book seriously ravaged me. Later in life I would realize I just wanted the "Disney ending". Love should conquer all right?
Mercy, why... I started to really dislike her in the middle of book.
Anyway, still I would love to read next book and find out what happens next... Thank you Shannon for writing this series.
Comment dtd July 19, '13: omy I am so glad publication is planned this year. I couldn't wait one year for the next book. I know Shannon will make is awesome! :)

To tell you the truth, I read this book because of Flynn. I had to know what happened after how book two ended and the heartbreaking scene.
I don't really love this series. At all! The only reason I'm even continuing it is, of course, Flynn. Flynn, to me, is the most real out of all the characters. I'm not say this because he may be good looking with the bad boy attitude as all. I'm saying this because I believe Flynn is real in everything he says and does.
But he is also really stupid in falling for annoying, stupid Mercy. I particularly have ZERO clue as to why there are so many guys after her. Granted, some are after her for self gain but to actually garner feelings for? I don't get it. Every time I see Mercy having to choose between Luke and Flynn I think you can have Luke, I'll bond with Flynn and keep all your messed up head case and horrible decision making for yourself. She just irks me throughout the whole series!
I really thought Angel of Mercy was going to be the last book. I was hoping (and praying) that Mercy would get her head out of her butt and choose the right guy and actually did something right other than putting everyone in trouble. But sadly, no. All she kept doing was crying, yelling, getting angry, not paying attention and getting herself in the worst situations possible. Half the time I kept thinking, this girl is purposely trying to kill herself so she can get some male attention *-.-
I honestly have no clue as to why I am even reading this series. Every spelling mistake and grammatical error made on every single page made me want to chuck my Kindle across the room and burn it to ash and bang my head against the wall until I ended up with a concussion. I am just a little peeved as to why this series is continuing. If you cut out all of Mercy's bad decisions and nonsense and all the scenes she is left crying, getting angry and all the times she misjudges herself throughout the book, that half could have been used to actually finish the series.

98% in: No. Fecking. Way. He’s not dead.
30 minutes after finishing reading: Shannon just wants us to think he’s dead. He’s not though. Deadish maybe but not dead.
2 hours later: Ok he’s dead... but one of the supernaturals can resurrect him, right?
I thought I was ready for this, but... I. Was. NOT. Ready.
This is one of my favourite favourite paranormal series – I started it shortly after I joined Goodreads so it’s close to my heart. And the thing about me and my favourite series is that I’m always so scared to read the new instalments in them because I don’t know how they can ever live up to the previous book. AOM did. But not without some hurdles.
I’ve spent the long lead-up to AOM reliving the final, horrifying moments of Waiting for Mercy and wondering whether Flynn would survive or not. I rushed through the first few pages of AOM trying, no NEEDING, to know whether he was alive. And Shannon took her friggin time telling me. I raced through those pages thinking, JUST TELL ME! And then when we do find out, it was in a most anticlimactic fashion.
The book started off slow and there was a lot of the same ol same ol, i.e. Mercy running out of the arms of Flynn/Sebastian and into the arms of Luke and then back again; Mercy getting jealous; Mercy overanalysing Luke’s behaviour and of course Mercy running away.
HOWEVER though it did take along while to get there, and though there weren’t quite enough reveals to satisfy me, AOM was still a hands down, thumbs up, 5 heart racing stars.
Some tantalising new information comes to light, some of it about Mercy’s (present and future) relationships with each of Sebastian, Flynn and Luke and also an interesting prophecy (which I still know nothing about).
But it wasn’t the information that had me reeling. It was the feels. Mercy finally chooses (a guy). At first, I wasn’t sure if she was making the right choice, or for the right reasons but Shannon convinced me that it was right. And ok, a little part of me loved the tangled web that the connections between Mercy and the other 2 guys wove. A very evil part.
The feels won me over. Shannon had me alternately laughing, crying, screaming and fanning myself. I love each and every one of the boys, and even Mercy.
And as much as I HATED that cliffy Shannon threw us, I love the change it catalysed in Mercy. It’s made her harder, tougher, colder and more independent. Gone is the soft, timid damsel in distress that has been Mercy Moore. I’m looking forward to seeing Mercy go all Resident Evil on heaven and hell ;).

This is one of my favourite favourite paranormal series – I started it shortly after I joined Goodreads so it’s close to my heart. And the thing about me and my favourite series is that I’m always so scared to read the new instalments in them because I don’t know how they can ever live up to the previous book. AOM did. But not without some hurdles.
I’ve spent the long lead-up to AOM reliving the final, horrifying moments of Waiting for Mercy and wondering whether Flynn would survive or not. I rushed through the first few pages of AOM trying, no NEEDING, to know whether he was alive. And Shannon took her friggin time telling me. I raced through those pages thinking, JUST TELL ME! And then when we do find out, it was in a most anticlimactic fashion.
The book started off slow and there was a lot of the same ol same ol, i.e. Mercy running out of the arms of Flynn/Sebastian and into the arms of Luke and then back again; Mercy getting jealous; Mercy overanalysing Luke’s behaviour and of course Mercy running away.
HOWEVER though it did take a
Some tantalising new information comes to light, some of it about Mercy’s (present and future) relationships with each of Sebastian, Flynn and Luke and also an interesting prophecy (which I still know nothing about).
But it wasn’t the information that had me reeling. It was the feels. Mercy finally chooses (a guy). At first, I wasn’t sure if she was making the right choice, or for the right reasons but Shannon convinced me that it was right. And ok, a little part of me loved the tangled web that the connections between Mercy and the other 2 guys wove. A very evil part.
The feels won me over. Shannon had me alternately laughing, crying, screaming and fanning myself. I love each and every one of the boys, and even Mercy.
And as much as I HATED that cliffy Shannon threw us, I love the change it catalysed in Mercy. It’s made her harder, tougher, colder and more independent. Gone is the soft, timid damsel in distress that has been Mercy Moore. I’m looking forward to seeing Mercy go all Resident Evil on heaven and hell ;).

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I am in awe of how Shannon tops each book she writes in this series. Another addicting and sexy addition.
Shannon Dermott's Cambions Series has become one of my all time favourites. With each book in the series, Shannon weaves together scorching sexual tension, hot romance, a cast of unforgettable characters, and a mind-blowing plot. The Cambions Series books are unputdownable and Angel of Mercy is no exception.
I love the characters in this series. Mercy is so real. She makes mistakes and deals with what her crazy life throws at her so well. She is probably one of my all time favourite heroines.
And her boys...Flynn, Luke, Sebastion, and Paul. *Sighs* Yeah, that hot. I love each one of them but Flynn is my ultimate choice for Mercy. I'm really hoping to get a HEA with him! He is the ultimate bad boy with a heart. Swoonworthy to a fault!
Shannon is also a queen of cliffhangers! HOLY HELL, what an ending! I think I might still be in shock! But I trust that everything does happen for a reason!
This book is phenomenal, as with the others, and if you haven't read this series then you seriously need to grab Beg for Mercy and start. You won't regret it!

After a long wait finally I’m done with angel of mercy!
Okay so I really kind of hated Mercy in the starting when she just couldn’t figure out what to do how to handle her life. And when Flynn said, ”one, four, three” that just broke my heart! We atleast got some answers this time from Mercy’s mom. Although I prefer Flynn over Luke, I can understand Mercy’s situation because Luke really loved her. But I still didn’t like the way she behaved with Flynn! I so want these two to end up together!
And I loved Flynn's Shirts!

*Sigh*
As always... I've begged for Mercy, waited for Mercy, and now the Angel of Mercy has left me adrift on the seas of 'Waiting for Next Book'. Loved it. Gasped. Cried. Shook with anger- I was livid. Never wanted it to end, but fought to keep from racing to the 'finish line' of the book.
My poor love pentagram... what has become of you?!?
More to come...
I received a gifted eBook from the author in exchange for an honest review. My thoughts are my own.

loved, loved, LOVED. This book was sweet agony. I honestly can't stop analyzing all the characters actions and trying to predict why they did what they did. That's what I love most about AOM, it grabbed me by the heart and hasn't let me go yet! BRAVO Shannon Dermott! I would give it 10 stars.

Book 3 picks up two weeks after the horrible events that occurred where book 2 ended. Mercy is sitting in a classroom on a Saturday taking the SAT test but not being able to concentrate on the task at hand due to the memories that come flooding back. All because of a word on the test, a word that she said against Flynn upon the first time meeting him, licentious. Fans of the series will well remember that Mercy used word of the day apps on her phone in preparation of the SAT tests. Her goal was to use that word in a sentence each day. "My first action besides heading to the car was to delete the word of the day apps off my phone." At the beginning of the book we still aren't quite sure what has happened to Flynn, but Luke and Sebastian are gone looking for answers and her best friend Maggie is still waiting to find out her doom. Life for Mercy seems pretty bleak and depressing.
There are still 3 very gorgeous guys who have strong feelings for Mercy. However, she feels vastly different toward each of them. Luke is her home, he makes her want to be a better person. "...this felt very much like home. And it wasn't the place as much as it was him." Flynn and Mercy share a common nature of who they are which draws them together, not to mention an incredible attraction. Sebastian however, being full demon, calls to her darker nature and her darker nature is all too willing to respond. "Satan's second in command didn't create an ugly boy. No, he gifted Sebastian with a dollop of sugar, gobs of spice, and all things that made him really nice to look at."
The plot of book 3 still has Luke searching for answers, and Sebastian helping him. However demon hunters have now become a problem and Mercy and her friends have to face this added complication as well. As much as I love this series and I really love Luke, Flynn and Sebastian, I have to admit that the back and forth between Luke and Mercy got a bit old throughout this book. The weird vagueness and non-answers throughout most of the book started to annoy me. Though at the end there were some answers given, a whole lot more questions arose.
I don't normally criticize grammatical errors in my reviews, but I will mention just briefly that this book seemed to have a lot of them to the point of making me frustrated while reading. That frustration in no way however played a part in my final rating.
Overall I did enjoy it, despite some annoyances I had which are quite honestly just a personal preference issue. The ending left me angry....sad....and depressed. And I'm highly trusting the author, who said to her readers when giving the ARC out to "trust her" and that "everything happens for a reason." Shannon, I'm taking a giant leap of faith here! Don't let us down!
Favorite Quotes:
"I truly loved him with all my heart. There was no denial in that. The other boy, the lost one, had my feelings muddled. Could one person love two boys?"
"You are my angel, Mercy. There is no one but you."
"You are beauty personified. You are unique and rare, there isn't another like you. You hold me together. And it is with your love that I exist."
Final Rating - 4 stars

I can't.
Literally, just stick me in the microwave on high then stick an bloody fork in me. I have so many emotions for this book...I don't think a shrink has the time for me in the wee hours of the morning to help me recover from the end.....
Everyone is here. Maggie, Flynn, Luke, Sebastian, Mom, David, Nina, weapon wielding foes, everyone and their mom is ready to roll in the 3rd Cambion Novel. Not only that, but the maze becomes clear, and everyone has more invested in Mercy that she first believes. Lies are unraveled, secrets are announced....lord I want to just spill the spoilers!! BUT I CAN'T!!
As I write this, I'm having a difficult time not blurting out Team Flynn ever other word. And as originally suspected, the games get deeper, stakes much higher, and you almost feel like dawn is in sight, when the wind gets knocked out of our sails!
And can we talk about the ending!!! WHOLEY MOLEY!
I did a damn RAIN DANCE WHEN IT HAPPEND! OMG! Never saw it coming, wishing it would happen, the fan girl inside of me died and went to Cambion heaven! Okay, yeah, minor tears, BUT STILLL!!!!! <--- if you finished the book, YOU KNOW! lol otherwise, I need to restrain myself.
All I can say during the overwhelming sensation of cracking open a bottle of wine and reminiscing over the new hurtles for Mercy, I just wish I had a cute non-blood related bother I could share my time with....errr maybe not. :)
This book doesn't disappoint, you understand everyone's motives just a little bit more, and Mercy begins to see the real danger her choices have put her in.
Then again, she marches to her own drum, and frankly, I'm on pins and freakin' needles with curiosity, she's managed to make it this far nearly unscathed.
but all I can say is my life will be like
for just once, I hope a shipper HEA goes MY WAY!!!
I need to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I'm itching for MORE! These characters *cough*Flynn*cough* stay with you and leave you wanting more. The Cambions series doesn't disappoint, and I'm sitting pretty for more!! If you haven't picked these up yet, might as well drown yourself in a shallow puddle for denying yourself the simplest pleasures in life, like Flynn's sexy sarcasm and rude gestures that leave you wanting more.

HOLY CLIFFHANGER BATMAN! Yowza!
I really enjoyed this book! I just love Shannon Dermott's ability to weave an intriguing story! A couple of things kept me from awarding five stars though.
First, this editor has got to go! The errors weren't nearly as numerous as the first two books but there were still a lot of dropped words, misused words and incorrect spellings and tenses. Punctuation was a little shoddy too. I am, by far, no expert and I'm used to it but I think her books would appeal to so many more people if she could get the series cleaned up.
Second, I kind of felt like I was waiting for the shoe to drop during most of the story, that shoe being the truth about Mercy's purpose. What's the prophecy?! I mean, I know we heard it from Luke towards the beginning of AOM but I'm trying to put it into context with everything else that's going on and it just doesn't fit (at least not yet)!
Now, for what I love! The boys!!! Or Mercy's harem, as I like to think of them as. :). I have been a solid Luke fan from the start but this new dimension to his personality had me swinging between Flynn and Sebastian! All the guys were written so perfectly that I have these perfect beautiful visions of them in my head! While the thought of an angel boyfriend is just heavenly I think I'd prefer the intoxicating Flynn for myself! He's delicious and naughty but his maturity level leaves one wanting. Ok, so he'd be great for a romp. Definitely my pick when it comes to FWBs!
Mercy kind of got on my nerves at times but I think it's because she didn't fight back or play dirty to defend her territory! That's right! I said it! All those dirty little skanks who hit on her boyfriend needed to be judo chopped in the throat! Luke deserved a ball tap too for doing nothing to stop it! At this point, I jumped ship on Team Luke. I'm hoping that Angel boy redeem's himself in the next book!
I think part of my mixed feelings over the story in general are due to the ending. I don't want to give anything away but my jaw literally hit the floor (the fact that I was reading while lying on my stomach has nothing to do with that either)! ;) I think towards the end my colors had flipped in favor of Flynn but with that cliffhanger of an ending I must have the next book!! This is your chance Luke! Win me back! ;)

Wow, yet again!
I just finished and have no idea where to start with a review. I'm need to collect my thoughts, look at my notes from reading, then get back with my official review.
UPDATED 11/24/13: (FINALLY!)
Being so eager for the release of this book, I flew through it quite fast and wanted to reread it before I put together a more coherent review...
I can easily say that Shannon did not disappoint with this installment of the Cambion series! Mercy's story continued with even more plot twists and a plentiful amount of "pulling our heartstrings."
I really felt for Flynn in this book. As I was constantly reminded of how much I love him and why he is such a great match for Mercy. While Mercy herself, baffled and surprised me with some of her choices. As emotions ran high and some scenes didn't pan out as I had hoped (due to my character favoritism), I know I wouldn't be as enticed if there weren't these dilemmas and multiple love interests to keep me on the edge of my seat. It was an excellent read; loved it!
Based off of how this book went, I am still not quite sure how the story will turn out. With a story that continues to grow and surprise me with each installment, I need to find out what happens next! As Shannon has known how she wants to story to end up, since early on, I am extremely excited and ready to see where she will take us!
It kind of saddens me to know that there is an end coming though; continuously hooked in and wanting more! Luckily we have Shannon's much loved POVs and bonus scenes to carry us through the time between book installments.
(CHECK THEM OUT!) They tie in more parts to the whole story and give us even more insight to the individual characters!

I just finished the last page of this phenomenal book and OMG did i love it! Shannon you really brought out all of my emotions for this one. I was lifted high into the clouds and then down in hell. I laughed, I cried, I was pissed of at times and when it ended it had me just staring out at nothing in chock. I must say that this series is the only one that has been able to bring out this much emotion from me. I am just inlove with the story and all the charachters that it´s a pain everytime i read the last page of one of these books. It means that I have to wait to get another glimpse into their story.
Angel of Mercy is by far the most emotional of the books in this series in my opinion. It just feels raw and it was hard not to be swept away in Mercys emotions.
Mercy is such a lovable charachter and she has to deal with so many things. Everything she felt, I felt too. In my world that´s what I call good writing.
Mercy, Luke, Flynn and the rest of the gang is in for hardship in this book and we get to follow them through it all. A lot of questions are answered but also some new questions pop up that I truly hope we get answered.
The most hartbreaking of all is the love triangle of Mercy, Luke and Flynn. I love both of the guys and so it´s hard to choose wich one I wanted Mercy to end up with. This book ended with a huge cliffhanger so I will be utterly disapointed if we don´t get a book four! Please Shannon!
I don´t want to write more since I am very keen on not spoling anything for you guys but one last thing I can say is you will absolutely love this emotional rollercoster of a book!

This book has got my head in a spin. On one hand I absolutely love it, my favourite PNR series delivers the goods again when it comes to believable and emotional love/lust scenes and interesting plot lines. But on the other, some parts were a tad rushed and lacking in detail (the fight scene near the end for example felt shorter than I would have liked) and the whole Flynn/Mercy thing was torturous.... Like most cambion fans I'm firmly team Flynn so her denying him and her feelings over and over again killed me inside a little.
On the whole though, it was a decent addition to the series and I could not put it down. For some reason I expected this to be the last book so I was highly pleased when I got to the end to see a forth book is in the pipeline but please Miss Dermott, make her choose Flynn!!!

Omg! This book is AMAZING! There are some surprises... Kayla, aka the succubus side of Mercy, is up to something and at the very first chapter I was ready to cry then scream in joy.. If you do not know who Sara, she is a girl/demon/unknown that Luke and Flynn meet say.. 2 years ago.. she was dirty and hurt in the woods... She has a thing for BOTH Luke and Flynn...she is the enemy. In the end... I just....no words. I felt sorrow, heartbreak, surprise, anger, then just shock. Like I just sat there and stared at the book.
Overall it is SOOO amazing and I am SOOO happy I got to read it. I was jumping up and down with joy. It's a witty, funny, dramatic but not overly dramatic, heartbreaking, even jeaslousy...some form me cause boy do I wish that was real life..., and 100% awesome read.

OMG! This book deserves a 5-star just because of FLYNNNNNNN.... OhMy Lord! That was a roller coaster of a ride. Things happen, tensions are built and GOOD GOD 64%... I died almost of happiness, only to be disappointed that my boy was still in the same loophole.
Shannon, I'm still NOT satisfied with how things ended. IT was devastating, but I didn't get the ENDING I WANTED... WAAAAAAAAA.... Will I ever get my wish? I guess I just have to wait and see. But seriously, when is the next book coming out? Because I want it nowwwww...

my heart cant take this anymore. i just wished that i could get into shannons head to know what is going to happen. my head is a whirlwind of emotion and at this point i cannot express the torture my mind has taken over this story. i am very eager to read the next book hurry up shannon please. worse book hangover ever.
December 31, 2014
After I figure out if I will survive my broken heart, I will write a proper review. Right now I need to stop crying, collect thoughts, and maybe reread the book again. Shannon you have done it again. Anyone who does not read this series are missing out on one of the best series ever written. If I could this book would be 10 stars not just 5.
July 4, 2013
Just like the other books in the Cambion series Shannon Dermott keeps you on your toes and in tune with Mercy' s emotions. Since this book just released I don't want to add any spoilers. I do have to say it brings a lot of the full story together and answers some questions, but I now have so many more. I do hope that the quest is not over. Thanks Shannon for continuing this story.
July 17, 2013
I think I'm still in shock. I was just reading along, Mercy's going through her normal " I love Luke, but I have feelings for every other hot paranormal guy out there" then BAM! I can't even tell you to whom it happens to, it would spoil everything! Ok Shannon, PLEASE sit back down and write book 4!! You can't leave it like this for long we will all go insane.
July 8, 2013
PICK FLYNN YOU BITCH!!! Ahhhh he is perfect for her and she is a moron.
July 17, 2013
One of my favorite books read this year.
The ending left me wanting more, please let there be more :) Hint Hint Shannon!
