Waiting for Mercy is the second book in the Cambion series. Mercy is a half demon succubus, with a succubus mother and a human father. This makes her a cambion. Her mother recently married David, an incubus and now they live in his house with him and his son Flynn. Flynn is HOT. Mercy's mother, David and Flynn have to feed from the lust of humans to survive, but for some reason, Mercy doesn't have to, although she can still drain a human's life force with her kiss. She's not sure why she's different, her mother keeps a lot from her about what she is and Mercy is not the type to push for it.
Mercy is a really likeable protag. She is surrounded by amazingly hot guys who all seem to be interested in her. Luke is her nephilim on/off boyfriend who is completely in love with her and she's in love with him. Flynn, seems attracted to Mercy but she thinks its just because he can't have her. He can have any girl at school he wants, and does, to keep himself fed. Sebastian is a pure demon who Mercy met in the first book, Beg for Mercy. He is now living with them and Mercy is not sure exactly why. He also seems to be attracted to Mercy. And Paul, Mercy's first human boyfriend, whom she nearly killed with her kiss because she didn't know what she was. All of these guys are awesome. Its kind of like a love pentagon, and I find myself rooting for whichever guy she's with at the time. I just can't decide who I like best.
Shannon has created a bunch of awesome characters and together they all make for a really entertaining read. There is a lot going on in this book and I loved all the action, suspense and interaction between all the characters. I really like Shannon's writing style and this books flows along so well. I couldn't bear to put it out of my hands. It's great to start to enjoy a book from the first page on. The world that Shannon has created seems to be one where anything exists. In this we have the existence of demons, vampires, werewolves/shapeshifters, elves and fae.
The ending of this was awesome....and cruel. We end on a major cliffhanger. I finished this book over 24 hours ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. This is shaping up to be an absolutely amazing series. I know I will be reading both of these books again soon as its a while since I read Beg for Mercy and I want to go back and read them both again, together. I cannot wait until the next book comes out. These books are extremely cheap on Amazon and I just urge you all to take a chance. Don't miss out on a great series.

“That is because he's a gentleman," I spat, through with this little game of his.
He laughed but his grip had yet to loosen. "Yeah, that's right. Luke is candy hearts, love sonnets and roses. I'm edible body lotion and lost panties," he said, disgustedly.
Somehow through all of this, I managed to feel sorry for him. "Flynn," I uttered.
"God, Mercy, stop saying my name like that.”

Oh, I'm sure you can handle it :) There's a giveaway on my blog at the moment for a copy of Beg for Mercy and Waiting for Mercy if your're interested in stopping by Paranormal Book Fan
Ha! A "love pentagon," too funny! The multiple romantic interests didn't bother you? Glad to see you enjoyed this. It does sound like a lot of fun. I don't like the mention of a cliffhanger though. :)
No Rachel, for some reason, they don't, and I'm not always a fan of the love triangle. I find these books a lot of fun, I love all the characters. The cliffhanger is a major one, but it's not too long now to book 3 :)

Well, that's a relief. I hate it when you have to wait a year! :)

This looks quite entertaining. The love pentagon sounds a bit much though, lol. I'm interested to see how the author makes you root for them all. ;) Wonderful review, Suzanne! :)
