Mercy is a fallen angel that has been exiled from heaven for reasons she can no longer remember. Mercy may not even be her real name. Mercy’s rules are: she must always re-establish ties. She must tread carefully or give herself away to her enemies. She must survive. She must keep moving, but she doesn’t know why. She is her own worst enemy. Mercy thinks of herself as a grave robber, a body snatcher, and an evil spirit. She moves from body to body, and remembers each and every one of them. If the body she inhabits dies, she immediately flees to a new one. Mercy wakes up on a bus in the body of Carmen Zappacosta, a singer, and lead soloists for the St Joseph’s Girls School as they head for Paradise. Luc, her beloved, has warned Mercy that his brothers, 8 in number, are looking for her. If they find her, they will destroy her. Save for Luc, they are the most powerful enemies one can have. One of those, Uri, finds her in Paradise and actually learns that she has in fact changed her ways, and is not the ruthless non caring angel she was in the past. He also warns her to leave things be and not continue to search for Luc. Mercy soon meets Ryan, an eighteen year old with a huge chip on his shoulders, and his family who are still reeling from the loss of his twin sister Lauren, who was kidnapped two years ago. Everyone else has given up hope, and presumed she is dead. Not Ryan. Ryan feels her presence and continues to search while putting everything else, including school and sports behind him. Mercy believes that Ryan is telling the truth, and sets out to help him find his sister since she seems to have the ability to search her out. Whenever Mercy comes in contact with a person, she can “feel” their emotions and strongest memories, she can also detect if they are lying or not. Ryan has strong emotions, but it seems he is telling the truth. Unfortunately, she doesn’t get the chance to touch the person responsible for her disappearance and she ends up as a target because of her singing ability which is amazing. There are clues as to who the bad guy is, and before this story is over, Mercy and another girl will fall prey to his sadistic kidnapping ploy. Luckily, Mercy has a few surprises up her sleeves. This is a Young Adult centered storyline, but, the lead character is a very old angel who manages to take over the bodies of young women. She has been a 26 year old drugged addict with a daughter, to a rich girl who mother issues. Adults should find this story appealing on some level as well. Recommended to everyone Exile and Muse are the next books in the series by release. Expected publication: May 17th 2011 -- Recvd A-R-C from publisher via Netgalley.com

I really enjoyed the self-deprecating humor of the author that somehow blended so well with her spiritual discovery. It didn't so much inspire me to take off for an adventure abroad as it did strengthen my ability to step back in moments of low self-worth to remember the more important things. It's a quick, delightful read.
I think when I was younger I resisted reading short stories because (1) I tried to read every single Flannery O' Connor short story in the interest of thoroughness in 9th grade, for a biography report, and I sort of bottomed out and (2) well, duh, I am on this website, so obviously I like keeping track and showing off what I read, and short stories are not as impressive a feat. But more recently I still skip the short stories because if they're any good, they're not long enough, and if they're no good, you never want to read that writer again- but you feel you haven't given them a fair shake in deciding that (I couldn't finish that DeLillo short story in the New Yorker last week and am sure glad I made myself read 1000 pages of him before I tried to read 10). What I learned from this book is Amy Hempel is amazing and even though she likes dogs a whole lot and I don't like dogs at all, she puts a lot of things the way I love for people to put them, and she is concise and conveys sadness in such a way that I know that it is a part of adulthood that I should get used to.

Review to come soon...
I believe I read the abridged version of this book as it was only 600 pages. If I'd known it at the time, I would have run to the correct shelf and gotten the unabridged version. As it was, I still enjoyed, no, loved, this book! Hollywood did some strange things with it, even though I did enjoy the movie, I would still like to see one more accurate to the original tale. This one was a really page turner and I was sad to see the last page and to have to say good-bye to Edmond Dantes, better known as the Count of Monte Cristo.
Painfully real.

Blows the lid off the sins of the food industry, which in my opinion are on the level of war crimes, in that they cause world-wide disease and ravage the earth. Read this book and it will change the way you eat.
