You know when you read a story & it guts you in such a mind exploding book hangover?
Yep this is what this book did to me.
I had the honor of reading this book as it was written by Author Debra Anastasia and it seriously is one of my all time favorites of hers.
My heart instantly fell hard for Nix and Becca from the first page to the last.
As I was reading their story, my emotions were all over the place.
I felt pain,
I felt love,
I felt guilty,
I felt happy,
I felt angsty,
I felt adventure,
I felt sexy and most of all...
I felt all the moments that Nix & Becca had as the words easily came to life in such a vivid and breathtaking story.
There are soo many memorable parts in this book that will stick in my mind forever.
Nix & Becca are my favorite couple of 2017!
Go get this book and find out why MERCY is one man you don't want to miss meeting.

This was a really good idea but the book just kind of fizzled for me and didn't really grab me. Mercy/Nox/Fenix is the main guy but he goes by so many names..... but he has a skeleton tattooed on his body. I wanted this ride to be so much like the Poughkeepsie books but it just wasn't happening. I started with Lock because it said standalone but then I couldn't understand what Ember and Nox's story was. So I went to book one since they are all on kindle U but it didn't really help me. Animal's story is next but I'm just not sure this series is my cup of tea.

It is official! I want a stalker. Especially a stalker with skeleton tattoo. I want it now! God Nix is really squeezing my heart. Cut it and rubs a salt into it. I can feel his loneliness on his isolation life. A life he resent and hates. And the only thing that makes him living is a girl, Becky. Becky defended him when they were young. Becky's bravery, gives Nix hope.
Nix undying love for Bex is really romantic and beautiful. Gut wrenching. When Becky finally realizes who is Nix, I can not help swooning for both of them. I do not like the idea of Nix tattoo his face. I think its weird. But in this story somehow it highlights Nix determination to set him apart from his past.
This is my first read by Miss Anastasia. And I want more from her.

Good
New to me author. I loved the meaning behind the mask . It was a romance that all started in the grocery stores. I can't wait to see where this series takes us.

Greetings, Devotees of the Dark,
As always, heed the Trigger Warnings!
I've recently immersed myself in the captivating world of the Mercy series by Debra Anastasia, and I'm thrilled to share my thoughts on the first book. Brace yourselves, because this tale is an enticing mix of characters and emotions that left me entranced.
The male lead, Nix, exudes an irresistible combination of mystery and turmoil. Adorned with tattoos and an enigmatic aura, he's a character that demands attention. And let's not forget Becca, our claw-machine-addicted leading lady, whose uniqueness sets her apart. Nix's body, a canvas of intricate tattoos except for a conspicuously untouched spot, adds an intriguing layer to his character that's sure to give even the masked figures a run for their money.
The audiobook experience was enriched by skilled narrators who expertly wove the story's fabric, turning the words into a vivid tapestry. I found myself wholly consumed by their portrayal, a testament to the quality of the narration. In fact, I'm already knee-deep in book two as we speak.
The narrative unfolds around Pheonix, or Nix, and Becca, endearingly known as the "basement girl." Their fateful encounter occurs when Becca boldly confronts Mercy's father, setting a chain of events into motion. Nix's fixation on Becca intensifies, stemming from his family's long-standing grudges. The tendrils of his past are dark and deep, involving his mother's tragic fate and his vigilant protection of his sister.
As their journey progresses, Nix's heroic intervention to save a young girl binds her to him in a belief of his unwavering protection. This connection paves the way for a strategic move to approach Becca during a 3-day Day of the Dead event at her bar. Nix's appearance aligns eerily with the theme, as if he's emerged from the realm of the dead itself. Guarding Becca becomes his purpose during this time, affording them a chance to forge a deeper connection.
The culmination of those three intense days manifests in a tantalizing scene amidst a field of dandelions, accompanied by the crescendo of thunder. The blend of passion and atmosphere is enough to make any heart race. Events take a dramatic twist when Becca captures the attention of Nix's father, leading to a tumultuous series of confrontations, liberating secrets, and ultimately, a life-and-death showdown.
Becca's journey from captive to conqueror is riveting. Her growth and strength shine as she faces down Nix's malevolent father, leading to a thrilling climax that sends ripples through their lives. The reunion after this upheaval is a testament to their magnetic connection, as Nix and Becca find themselves immersed in a love that refuses to be extinguished.
To unveil more of this spellbinding tale, I wholeheartedly recommend delving into the book itself. Allow the shadows to guide you as you navigate the twists and turns of their captivating story.
Embrace the darkness and allow the books to illuminate your path.

If you enjoy heavily tatted, morally ambiguous men with dark pasts who fuck like animals and kill people for a living...
Buuuuut who also keep their promises to 7 year old little girls to go to a tea party...
You should maybe consider picking this one up. Fenix steals the show here, usually it's all about the woman--but honestly in this book. It's all about him, his horrific past, his trauma, his obsession, his heart.
Don't get me wrong, this one's not perfect. The insta-love (at least on Becca's part) is a little bananas. I mean, unless you don't mind the "it just felt right" kismet sort of vibes.
Becca's fine as a character--I had no issues with her. But this is Fenix's book. I'm glad we got Becca's perspective, but I lived for the male POV. It's rare that a man wraps my heart around his proverbial little finger the way Nix did.
Maybe I enjoyed this book because I had somewhat low expectations coming in--maybe it's just that this book hit the spot for the mood I'm in at the momet... I'm not sure what it was, but I thoroughly fucking enjoyed this.

Listen.....
This book was absolutely wild. So many random, crazy things were going on. The names were LUDACRIS:
Fenix Churchkey
Merk
Animal
Bat Feybi (?!??!)
Dick Dongy and his girlfriend Henry...
.... I mean come on. I couldn't take any of those names seriously
The big assassin, Animal, calls everyone sweetness and babe - it was so weird. There were phrases like "titty pancake", "cock pocket", & "I can hold a brown crayon in my butthole" that were so off the wall I couldn't help but laugh. And I'm pretty sure the FMC lost her mind.
BUT all that being said, this was a riveting read. I blew through it in a day and despite all the craziness, I did really enjoy it.
