Here’s the set-up for Lisa Olsen’s Angel of Mercy, just $2.99 on Kindle :

When Mercy wakes up in the hospital after a brutal stabbing, she has little recollection of the attack; only the blurred memories of a mysterious stranger with piercing blue eyes that haunts her dreams.

After spotting the same man, that only she can see, Mercy follows him home, brazenly confronting him. (Kids at home, never do that!) Her savior turns out to be less than human, or is it more?

Samael is a fallen angel, bound to the Earth and living out his life among humans but apart from them. Unwilling to let an innocent die, Sam bestowed some of his Grace to Mercy, healing her wounds and imbuing her with some of his angelic powers.

Thrust into a world within her own where angels and demons coexist unseen by mortals, Mercy must learn to accept the fact that she is no longer strictly human; she is something new. Complicating things is Adamiel, the reckless fallen angel who is Sam’s enigmatic friend.

Equal parts information and aggravation, Sam and Adam help Mercy acclimate to her new life.  But now Mercy’s eyes are opened to a whole new world beyond the human realm… and their eyes are opened to her.

From the reviewers:

Author Lisa Olsen gives us a sympathetic character in Mercy Renault.  Her quirky voice leads us through the twists and turns as Mercy tries to find her footing, merging her ordinary life with her newfound angelic abilities.  Samael, the introverted fallen angel who accidentally gives Mercy some of his power, is frustratingly literal-minded and little help in her quest to find out what she is.  Sexy bad boy Adam adds just the right amount of friction to her already complicated life and I wasn’t sure if she should kiss him or smack him upside the head.  You might be tempted to cry at the end, but only because you’ve been so caught up in what comes next; it’s a crime that the story is over.   The first in a series, we can only hope that the sequel ties up some of the burning questions we’re left with.

“Great read! I really loved it, and can’t wait for the sequel to come out. My imagination is running wild!” –Marilyn W, AZ

“This book was amazing. I couldn’t put it down. I feel like I know these people now, and I can’t wait to find out what comes next. I mean, what’s not to like? Hot detectives, hot angels, that are fallen to boot, and new superpowers…Mercy is living my dream life.”
–Randi P, OH

“Angel of Mercy” is the story of Merceline, a woman who unexpectedly finds herself thrust in the world of angels and demons after a near death experience leaves her healed by a fallen angel and imbued with some of his powers.   From page one, there was never a moment when I got bored and wanted to put the book down.   –  Amanda Mclain

Are you curious about the balance between good and evil? I enjoyed reading about the surface plot and the not-so-obvious sub-plots as they enfolded. I really couldn’t put this book down it moved so quickly. I sometimes found myself having to reread a section to see if that is what she REALLY said. Wow! It expanded my mind a bit, and made me look around at some of the people I know to wonder, ‘what if’ they might be from another world? another existence? a life beyond what we seem to see?   –   Sprtwareor

I am a writer, wife and mother of two currently living in the Pacific Northwest. I am a complete TV addict (have to have it on at all times, even when I’m writing). I also enjoy online RPG’s, singing, reading, cooking… lots more I can’t think of at the moment

The supernatural has long been my favorite to write and read. Werewolves, vampires, witchcraft, ghosts, things that go bump in the night; these are a few of my favorite things to write about. Not sparkly beings with phenomenal cosmic power that are always the smartest, bravest, prettiest Mary Sue to walk the planet, but real people who just happen to have this little quirk…

I am currently working on the sequel to Angel of Mercy – Mercy for the Wicked
