Spoilers for previous booksAngel 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.
