I loved Beg for Mercy. I liked that the book didn't seem super short, when she started going out with Luke, I remember thinking "that was short, now what is going to happen?" and I looked down at my kindle and the book was only at 33%. It made me so happy because the book didn't end with the girl getting the boy at the end, like so many YA books. There is a whole lot of story in Beg for Mercy and I have to say it made me a pretty big fan of Shannon Dermott. (which is hard to do with just one book)

Mercy is a succubus. You find out pretty quickly into the story but I remember the first chapter I was really confused about why spin the bottle seemed like such a huge deal. But after that, the ball really gets going and the story never loses speed. Mercy is inquisitive, and is a quality girl. I thought it was so funny the way she would say that she felt like a harlot after kissing a boy. I felt for her because she was kept in the dark about pretty much everything about herself for her whole life. It felt like a very introspective journey for Mercy. We got to see first hand the effects of being a succubus had on her and how she struggled with herself. I would have liked to see a little bit more about the effects that she had on others.

There are a lot of characters in Beg for Mercy, which I really enjoyed. We got to know a whole crew of people. There are so many. My favorites are Luke and Flynn. I wanted to like Mercy's best friends, Paul and Maggie more but they were both kind of moody throughout the book. They both had their really sweet friend moments and they both had moments where they annoyed me.

The writing is great, and I love a paranormal book that is not about shifters, or vampires. Demons are not as heavily explored in YA yet and succubus and incubus are certainly not, so I felt like I was reading something more unique. Plus, I am kind of in love with Shannon Dermott's writing style. It is so vivid. I am dying to read the next book! I am hooked on this series already and I want, no I need more, more more.
