A review by bookgyrl
Pirate Nemesis by Carysa Locke
5.0
After reading the prequel I immediately pre-ordered this first book in a new series.
Mercy has been on the run with her mother for most of her life. At age 13, her mother disappears and Mercy is on her own. She does meet Atrea and her father Wolfgang and they are her family now. It is 15 years later. Atrea is the best friend Mercy could wish for and helps her looking for her mother. Unfortunately both women are ambushed and brought to a ship where Mercy is probed and experimented upon.
Reaper is one of the space pirates (as explained in the prequel 'Pirate Bound') and a half-Killer (this is one of his Talents, they are telepathic). He is hired by Wolfgang to retrieve his daughter. When he encounters Mercy he immediately senses she is a Queen, someone with great power in their society. After the horrible reign of the last queen Lilith it is a risk to bring young Mercy back to their ship. Mercy meets her family and has to learn her skills and who she can or cannot trust. Reaper is the brother of Dem and we see some more of Sanah and Dem and their little girl. I enjoyed the blossoming relationship between Reaper and Mercy.
The writing is pleasant and very good. I so enjoyed this story that I was disappointed it ended. I know there will be more stories of Mercy/Reaper and the epilogue was the opening to the next book.
I hope the writing duo will write fast, as I can hardly wait!
