Mercy Strange by Alisa WoodsMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Witch Mercy Strange is a genetic research lead in her family's medical technology company. She is trying to work out how the new drug that can turn people's magick talents on and off works. It stems from the illegal drugs trade and was illegally tested on real people (her father was one of them). She also has a hidden agenda - one of her own talents is too dangerous and so she wants to take it herself. In order to succeed she has to train the FBI's very sexy field agent so he can go undercover. FBI Agent Swift Payne keeps telling himself this is just another job, but Mercy and her emotional soundscape are singing to him and he is trying to tell himself repeatedly that this is just a job. He can tell she is hiding a lot below the surface but so is he. He needs to make sure for himself that she is not dirty in this. With Swift having a secret talent and Mercy having a talent that is a secret, can they work together and get to the bottom of this illegal drug that is so dangerous?
This was a great second instalment in the series and developed our knowledge of the secret drug further. I loved the dynamic between Mercy and Swift which started with suspicion and mistrust and over time developed into something which became love and a need to protect each other. I loved the way it ended and was thrilled with the way that Mercy handled the threat to them both from the sections in the FBI and associated agencies. The so-called monk in the story seems to be a character so much more investigations in the next part of this gripping story. Well written and easy to understand. Contains some sexual content.
