Exile (A Mercy Novel)
This follow-up to Mercy (2011) continues the story of the angel who is continuously reborn in human form. In her dreams, Mercy is drawn to Luc, an angel with questionable motives, while in her human form, she is drawn to Ryan, a boy she knew in a previous life. By adopting the mortal life of Lela, a young teenage girl whose mother is dying of cancer, Mercy begins to find a way to reconnect with Ryan.While the writing lacks nuance and the supporting characters veer into stereotype, this should still satisfy many paranormal-romance fans.
