Mercy lives out her days alone and hidden from the world, but her sleep is riddled with nightmares of the muti and all the boys and girls just like her who weren’t lucky enough to get away. If the people who kept her as a child are in Mexico, is it possible she could find them? What starts as vigilante justice unravels a web of human trafficking deeper and darker than Milo and Mercy could’ve imagined. When she comes face-to-face with the people she once considered family, she proves she is far from the Angel they raised her to be.
⭐️ 4 "Mi Alma" Stars ⭐️
After the surprizing and unique Ghostgirl, I was so eager to get my hands on its sequel, Saint! It was an intense read with interesting and unexpected moments, but also poignant emotion. This time around, J.B. Salsbury takes Mercy and Milo back where it all began to discover the truth about her past!
Milo is still the same swoon-worthy hero, but with a darker edge! He wants to protect Mercy at any cost, and it means going back in Mexico to his ruthless father, a drug cartel leader and work for him! He would do anything for his girl. As much as he wants to free her from her past, it also causes a certain distance between the couple with the long hours he’s away.
This couple is still so beautiful and their feelings more than ever apparent in their actions. Their love is powerful, but they need to learn to communicate and trust each other better.
I enjoyed seeing a Mercy more open to the outside world and with a fearless attitude. As much as Milo is doting on her, she feels trapped into the big Mexican estate though. She wants to explore a little more of the world and her curiosity and innocence put her in a hard situation where Milo needs to rescue her!
I felt the intrigue took a little too long to unfold, but when it happened I was truly hooked to this story. Saint pleasantly concluded the Mercy series! It was a very good complement to the first novel and tied all the loose ends surrounding Mercy’s strange past!
