"Mercy's Magic" is the first book in a new series called Mercedes Cruz written by the amazing team of PJ Day and Elizabeth Basque. Mercedes or Mercy as her friends call her is a mother to Terra her five year old daughter and also a Private Investigator trying to make a go of it. She agrees to help her ex-husband find a missing person who is also a very close friend of Mercy's. Mercy has a secret she has kept from her ex...she is a witch who hasn't fully studied the art much to the annoyance of her aunt who has been constantly berating her about it. Mercy also has a friend on the police force, Detective Joe Patterson, who she turns to for help on this case and who has an interest in Mercy other than just professional. The case takes a turn towards the dark side of witch craft when Mercy finds the missing person who had been kidnapped but is unable to free him due to a stronger...more powerful magic that works against her. There are many twists and turns in this story and many surprises...at least they were to me and it all led to me not being able to put this book down until I turned that last page. This is definitely a story that keeps you reading to find out what happens next! I am so looking forward to the next book in this series to answer some questions that were left unanswered. Not that this left me with a cliffhanger type ending but left me wondering if Mercy will learn to develop her powers...who will her love interest end up being...will she ever tell her ex-husband that she is a witch and will her daughter follow in her footsteps as a witch? I'm sure you too will have questions of your own after you read this story and like me...you will just have to wait for the sequel to come out!
