1955, Las Vegas, Nevada
Angeline has been on the run from her sire, Linus, for centuries. She’s tired, and she’s lonely. High from mescaline-induced blood, she sees a sign—a church that seems to glow in the distance—and she knows. Her future mate is in that building.
Important Author’s Note:
Dark Mercy is the beginning of Hadrian and Angeline’s story, not the end. Their HEA will happen later in their own full-length novel. This story is important both for the overall series and for this couple, but it’s not their HEA. Just a mild disclaimer so no one goes in with false expectations for this story.

Forgive me, Father, for I’m about to sin . . . I’m going to crush on Father Adrian even more than you could ever think! After all, my blog is called Darkest Sins, I think a crush like that is sinfully appropriate, isn’t it?

As the author’s note says, Dark Mercy is the beginning of Hadrian and Angeline’s story, that means you don’t have to expect a HEA here. Now, am I the only one who enjoys a non-HEA when she finds one? Because I have to say this, despite the fact that I’m thrilled I will be able to read more about those gorgeous characters and their story, I thought that if only this was a full-length novel, the finale would have been a hell of a great one! Don’t get me wrong, I love HEA (who doesn’t, right?), but when I find a dark story like this one, I love the unexpected even more than usual, and if the events turn out to be different from my expectations—and even more exciting—I can only be a very happy reader.

Dark Mercy has a special overwhelming charm that makes you curious from the very beginning, and it leaves you think about a possible dark side that everyone could have inside . . . You got it, woah if this story is not one to read!
