Exiled from heaven, a lost soul seeks her soulmate ... Age 13+
Mercy 'wakes' on a school bus bound for Paradise, a small town where everyone knows everyone else's business - or thinks they do. But they will never guess the secret Mercy is hiding .... As an angel exiled from heaven and doomed to return repeatedly to Earth, Mercy is never sure whose life and body she will share each time. And her mind is filled with the desperate pleas of her beloved, Luc, who can only approach her in her dreams. In Paradise, Mercy meets Ryan, whose sister was kidnapped two years ago and is now presumed dead. When another girl disappears, Mercy and Ryan know they must act before time runs out. But a host of angels are out for Mercy's blood and they won't rest until they find her and punish her - for a crime she doesn't remember committing ... An electric combination of angels, mystery and romance, MERCY is the first book in a major new series.

      Every time Mercy "wakes," most of her memory is gone and she's in a new body, sharing it with her host but in control. This time she's Carmen, a choral singer visiting a small town for a multischool concert. The family she's staying with has suffered a heartbreaking loss: a daughter, Lauren, was abducted from her bedroom two years earlier. Uncertain of her origin and why she keeps leaping from life to life, Mercy's only clue is her lost love, Luc, who appears in her dreams. Despite Luc's warnings about getting involved, Mercy decides to help Lauren's twin, Ryan, who is obsessed with finding his sister, certain she's still alive. In her U.S. debut, Australian author Lim opens her planned series with a dark and chilling mystery, where the supernatural meets every parent's nightmare. Vivid prose highlighting Mercy's sense of isolation will draw readers in ("I occupy rented space... never wholly comfortable inside a skin that is not mine"), while dramatic tension and the mystery of Mercy's Quantum Leapâstyle body-hopping ought to keep their attention. Ages 12âup.
