Beg For Mercy

by Toni Andrews

Mira | September 1, 2007 | Mass Market Paperbound

I''ve never been certain I''m human

Oh, the X-rays and blood tests are normal, and most people have no reason to suspect I''m more than I appear to be. But if I tell you to do something? You do it—no ifs, ands or buts.

I call my power the ''press.''

My name is Mercy Hollings, and if you think that having the power to control people makes my life easy, you''re dead wrong.

Because when I get angry, everyone around me is at risk—Sukey, my friend who has frightening taste in men; my clients, who, ironically, come to me for help; my neighbors, who regard me as a loner; and Sam, a man who wants to know my darkest secret.

I have hurt people in the past, and I don''t want that to happen again. But now a powerful stranger is threatening the new life that I''ve made for myself.

And I''m afraid my anger is taking over.

    Mercy has built herself a life where no one really gets close to her, and that's how she likes it. The truth is, she's afraid of what she might do to people, if they got close. Because if Mercy isn't careful, when tells you to do something, her ability, called 'pressing,' will make you do it.

    But when things start to get out of control, Mercy starts using her 'press' to deal with things, and soon there are people she cares about in danger, and it might just be that she's not as alone as she thought she was. And that could be the worst danger of all.

    I really appreciate the interior workings of Mercy's mind - Andrews has done a good job here with crafting a character who is flawed, full of good intentions, and 'blessed' with a gift that just begs to be used - and misused - too easily. I'm happy to report there is a sequel now, 'Angel of Mercy,' as well.
