Mercy

By: Debra Anastasia

Narrated by: Muffy Newtown, Zachary Webber

He taught me to kill. Murder is in my blood now. It runs through my veins and though I hide the monster I see in the mirror with ink, it doesn't keep him from coming out.

My street name is Mercy, but I never show any. Except for her. I watch Becca, though she doesn't know. She saved me a long time ago; the day my father killed my mother. Her bravery turned her into a target.

My father holds a grudge and knife with the same proficiency, and Becca is the focus of his hatred. And I'm the only monster who can save her.

A Dark Romance Done Right!

Now THIS is how dark romances should be done! We had suspense, tragedy, abuse, true love, obsession, heart ache, you name it and it was in there cranked up by 10. The emotions were so raw and powerful and real, that it was hard to not be overtly attached to the characters. Everyone was well rounded, with depth that we get hints at, but wouldn’t know more unless given their stories, and to be honest, I really want Animal’s story next. That to the side, this was a fun and great read about a scared little boy who meets a loud mouth little girl, is basically saved by her, and from that day forward, their lives are intertwined.

The Darkness just outlines the Love

There are a lot of Dark elements to this novel; Child Abuse, Murder, Mafia elements, Child Abduction and self Mutilation and loathing. With that being said, this is one of the most touching stories of love I have ever read or listened to. I think that it is important that a reader approach this novel with the realization that the dark elements should not be focused on. The real story is about the light at the end of the tunnel of all that darkness. Have Kleenex ready.

⭐️ AN ADDICTIVELY AWESOME LISTEN ⭐️

I picked this wonderfully addictive listen up in Audible’s recent Flash Sale and I’m so so glad I did because this, for me, was exceptional.. and a very memorable listen. Obsessive love, deep devotion and eternal care is a little boy’s way of thanking the little girl who saved his life all those years ago on the day that his abusive Father had planned to kill him. Now Fenix (aka Nix) is a ruthless inked Contract Killer with a skeleton tattoo covering his face and body and he now goes by the name Mercy and his damaged, unbalanced, twisted soul knows he’s not worthy of the one person who has always had his heart.. his long-ago saviour Rebecca Stiles. However, this supremely talented author spins a delicious tale where Waitress/Bartender Becca gets saved by a sexy saviour with a realistic skull painted on his face.. and, during the Bar’s Day of the Dead three day festivities, sparks and sizzles ignite.. and a little girl’s memory is slowly awakened too. A beautiful beginning.. but evil lurks in the shadows and many many secrets will have to be revealed.

Worth a credit? Yes absolutely.. and I’ve already got the next book lined-up ready to play. It’s a beautiful, romantic, tender, heartbreaking, dangerous, twisted tale of beauty and her beast.. but this is no Disney story. There’s sizzling chemistry, sex, danger, splashes of humor, character growth, good secondary characters and a love that shines from every riveting chapter. Perfect dual POV narration by Muffy and Zachary who brought the characters and the many many emotional feels to life.. and delivered an outstanding listen.
