Logan is part demon and all...HAWT!  Mercy seems to have bitten off more than she can chew when she takes on a mission to trap Logan.  Mercy may have all kinds of tricks up her fae sleeve but Logan is a can of surprise she did not reckon on. 

Mercy gives Logan a run for his money and just tilts her chin at him when he continually tries to dominate her, LOL.

Twists, turns and adrenaline pumping action!

Demon's Mercy (Dark Protectors, #9) by Rebecca Zanetti is a highly anticipated addition to the Dark Protectors Series. This is a paranormal romance with plenty of action and suspense. It's the long awaited story of Logan Kyllwood as he takes his place among the Seven to protect the Realm and other Nations from ultimate evil. Mercy O'Malley is the financial guru for what’s left of the Fae Nation and quite an entertaining character, but the Fae can no longer sit idly by as the worlds created by the Seven begin to collapse and she must choose between duty or love. This story has everything you come to expect from this author and The Dark Protectors. It’s entertaining and seamless. The chemistry between Logan and Mercy is spectacular while navigating the landmines of love and war. I love that the author doesn’t let the series stagnate by injecting new situations and characters while staying true to the series.  This book is a definite recommend to start your year off right!

A long forgotten race enters into the mix with a promise of war with the Realm. New, dire knowledge on dimension/dreamworld travel comes to light, along with insights on how the Seven might actually defeat Ulric, with the prophesied combined blood of the Keys. Long-held alliances are tested.  Brotherhood deepens. 

I flove this Dark Protectors' world!

Sparks fly high between characters, old and new, along with a lot of plot arcs spinning in the air in this offering, just what I needed for my reading ♡ doldrums. 

Truly a pivitol story in the overall series. 

Not to be overshadowed is Logan and Mercy, their push and pull journey sizzles. Extra spicy. I really liked these two creatures together. Polar opposites in loyalties and ideologies, yet compellingly drawn to each other. 

Is it only Fate? Me thinks they protest too much LOL

With more intrigue and tight intensity, more who's the "real" good guys, like in the author's Scorpious Syndrome series. And with those battle scenes that just keep getting better, this one was just "more." 

Solid 4.5*

Mercy is a strong woman that knows her own mind and questions authority when she doesn't agree with them. She is assigned to assassinate Logan but cannot see the reasoning behind it so she opts to kidnap him instead. 

Logan has been sent to find the Keys. Mercy is one of those Keys so he will follow her wherever she leads him. When they both end up on the wanted-dead-or-alive list he will have to bring her home whether she wants to come or not.

New weapon developments by the enemy keep this series installment fresh and exciting.  Getting one step closer to completing the Seven puts me on the edge of my seat waiting for the next book.

Just reading the synopsis had me excited to read this book. I have seen some of Rebecca Zanetti’s books but I have never picked up one of her books, until now. I am so glad I did. I inhaled Demon’s Mercy, Dark Protectors #9, by Rebecca Zanetti. The whole freaking thing! 

Logan is the perfect hybrid of duty vs desire. Yes, he is a hybrid, part demon par vampire, but his character in this book is delicious and deadly. You can just hear his growl of frustrations dealing with Mercy. Damn that growl! Gives ya shivers. When he goes from controlled alpha to ripping a Cyst's head off in a snap, you just want to dive into the layers of his character. 

Mercy, a Fae, was raised for one reason and one reason only, and that is all she knows but Logan has her questioning everything. She does not want war and will do anything to prevent that, even going against the Fae President. She is in a constant battle of doing right for her kind and her heart. The push and pull between Logan and Mercy is freaking H O T. They have a cat and mouse chase that you might find in a burlesque show. You think this is finally going to happen and then nope…. Ha! But Lord, when it does, YOWZA!

I am super excited about finding this series. Now, to start with book one of this series and read through them all. I'm ready for my next shot of the Dark Protectors series. I love finding new authors.

Oh my, I enjoyed this book thoroughly. I won't give away any hints as to the contents of the book however i will say that it will be an very interesting and intriguing book. It will keep you captivated and hooked. So enjoy :)

The Fae have decided to come out of hiding and save the world from being destroyed when the Seven form and dimensions collide. Mercy O’Malley is supposed to take out Logan Kyllwood, the last man set to join the Seven, but when she gets near him her blood sizzles and her heartbeat quickens. When she decides to kidnap him instead Logan goes along with it trying to figure out this new danger. Needless to say, neither one of them fights against the pull they have for each other even though they are fated to be on opposite sides of this war.

Logan was born a warrior and even though he is the youngest Kyllwood brother he has taken on a significant task of saving their world by joining the mysterious Seven. As with all of the other alpha heroes in this series, Logan is dark and broody but he has an element of fun that is brought out when he meets Mercy. Part of that is that she is Fae, a species he didn’t know was real. He jokingly calls her a fairy through the whole book, a title she begrudgingly accepts. It’s that humor that humanizes the story and makes she and Logan interesting.

I like that a new species has been introduced to this Dark Protector world. The discovery of what is “fae” makes this story interesting and I hope the author delves into that lineage more in future novels. Logan and Mercy were a fun pairing and I enjoyed their story and look forward to getting a glimpse into their future in the next Dark Protector story. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have waited a long time to read this book, and I was not disappointed. It has a good plot, action and the couple is hot. I can’t wait to continue to read this serie and can’t wait to the next one.

I have loved this series since I discovered it. I was happy when Demon's Mercy came out! So good! I remember Logan from previous books and was happy he was getting his own book. Mercy is a good match for him. I really enjoyed this and am eagerly awaiting the next one!

Review written for a free copy via Netgalley.

Logan's goal is to become one of the Seven and to track down the Keys necessary to keep Ulrick in his dimensional prison.  Mercy, who is a key, attempts to kidnap Logan in order to prevent the Seven from coming back into power.  She doesn't want to kill him, but the Fae will do anything to prevent the Seven from coming back.  It is kind of unclear whether the Fae are correct in that Ulrick's prison will fail and the world will be destroyed if the Seven are allowed to complete their numbers.

Most of the Fae are almost extinct and while they are advanced in many ways, their best fighters are no match for just about anyone.  Ultimately Mercy has to take a chance on her mate and that the Seven will not end up destroying the world.

Logan is actually pretty tolerant of all the stuff Mercy does.  She kidnapped him, knocked him unconscious, and ran from him several times.  All the while he is only concerned with keeping her safe while still fulfilling his goal.

It didn't take long for the twists & surprises to start and there was plenty of action to keep readers on their toes and turning pages.  While Mercy's insistence that her people were right and everyone should just accept without any explanation or discussion got a little annoying at times, she was otherwise a smart & capable heroine.  Logan was nicely balanced between the overprotective alpha and caring/understanding hero.  He took a lot but was no push over.  Series threads and teasers were intermixed in the novel without distracting from the primary story.  The author builds wonderful relationships and interactions between all the various characters.  This also complements not just the book but the series as a whole.  Other than a slight & very brief lag in the middle, this story was engrossing and engaging from start to finish.

Hello, people we finally have Fae! Logan is a vampire-demon hybrid, and one of the deadliest fighters in the Realm. Logan’s plan is to become a member of the Seven. Mercy is a Fae with a mission to prevent that.

 The Seven exist within the Realm to destroy the "most evil Kurjan Cyst ever born". The Seven’s mission is to find the three Keys, to save the world from a very evil being. But the fae believe initiating another into The Seven will destroy all the worlds and are willing to go to war to prevent it. 

Each time Mercy slips through Logan’s fingers and escapes you can’t help but laugh. I mean come on look at all the females in his life; you’d think he’d know better than to underestimate a woman no matter the species.  
It's not all fun and games these two have to find a way to prevent war between The Realm and Fae nation, all the while with Mercy reminding him that they are enemies.

  “Mercy broke free of his gaze, looking beyond him to the sea. ‘Don’t you get it? Everything is about Hope Kayrs-Kyllwood. The first step was taking Sam. The next?’ She shook her head. ‘It’s inevitable.’ Logan growled. Hurting this half size female was something he’d never get over. But with her last statement, everything changed. He’d do what he had to in order to get answers. ‘Get out of the hot spring, Mercy. Now.’”

     "The king placed large hands on the table, his voice pleasant and very peaceful.
   Mercy relaxed a little. It was nice to be around a calming influence for once.
     The king leaned forward. ‘What the holy fuck of a fuckup of a disaster have you assholes gotten into?’ Dage yelled, his booming voice echoing off every wall.” 
     Mercy snorted. Shocked, she clapped her hand over her mouth as both Logan and Garrett swung toward her.
     ‘Fairy?’ Zane said calmly, as if that explained everything.”

There are so many layers in this book you will not want to put it down!

Finally!  We have fairies!  Sorry. I mean, Fae. 
Mercy and Logan are perfect for each other. Mercy is a stubborn, headstrong fae. Logan is a typical alphabet male demon/vampire hybrid. They’re chemistry is off-the-charts undeniable. Although, they seem to be on opposite sides.  Butting heads at every turn. They have to learn to work together to save the ones they love. 
5 stars!!

Demon's Mercy was an absolute five star book ! The characters were wicked cool and the twists began almost immediately. 

Rebecca Zanetti is one of my favorite authors and an automatic one click by the way. I've been hooked on her Dark Protectors since the first book. I've never once been disappointed. 

This book was a great continuation to the Dark Protectors. I loved Logan and Mercy right from the beginning and with the  many surprises I never once wanted to put this book down. It was superbly written, with cool characters, romance and excitement that never stopped all the way through to the end. 

I loved it and am already looking forward to the next book.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed this book. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I've always considered Talen Kayrs to be the *ultimate* romantic hero. I like the rugged, alpha type. I like capable and protective men. So the entire Dark Protectors series is my catnip - but my heart was always for Talen and his growly and domineering ways.
AND THEN, THERE WAS LOGAN.
Honestly, I read this book cover to cover and did not stop to eat, sleep or pee. Ms Zanetti has this amazing talent to write individuals that are complex, well rounded, intriguing and wildly entertaining - then coupling them up with the exact right partner. Mercy was perfect. She was smart, brave, loyal... and endearingly naïve. I fell for her before I even got tingles for Logan. She was sweet and determined - a refreshing change from the swoony and helpless heroines that are all over the place these days. Mercy was prepared to kick butt and make sacrifices without whining or self-pity. I LOVED her.
Perfect for her was Logan - confident to the point of *almost* cocky, skilled and clever but with just the right amount of mushiness for her. He wants to keep her safe and happy while saving the world - whats NOT to love?
I'll be honest, Ronan's story was my least favourite of the DP storyline and I was a little scared at the direction Ms Zanetti was taking with the whole Seven thing - Demon's Mercy not only knocked my socks off but really invested me in the storyline. I could not be more pleased with this book and am SOOOOO excited to continue reading. Thanks so much!!

I love this series. Even though in the beginning Mercy got on my nerves, I grew to understand where she was coming from. Logan was irresistible, he had a gentle and protective side. This is such an interesting story and I can't wait for the next one.

It always amazes me, that the two authors I will stop everything (even something I’m currently reading) to devour their next book, both write Vampires! Obviously Rebecca Zanetti is one of these authors, and each new addition to her Dark Protector series is a gripping, action-packed and all-consuming event. And just when we thought all the paranormal beings were somewhat accounted for in all their sexy, protective, conniving and evil ways; along come the Fae.

Demon’s Mercy takes us back down memory lane with a reintroduction to the very adult versions of the Kyllwood brothers. Yes, we already knew of Zane’s destiny and have also had some interaction with Sam, but we now get a healthy serving of the arrogant, badass, younger Kyllwood, Logan, in all his delicious, demon glory. But as with all the male/female pairings in this series, not a damn thing comes easy, and finding that his potential mate is not only a “fairy’, but is obstinate, sassy and has a very different agenda to his, makes the already electric chemistry and their battle of the wills, fiery and sometimes physical too.

There is literally nothing not to love about this book! Rebecca Zanetti is exceptional in her storytelling, and her world building draws the reader in and consumes your every breath until the last page is turned. Theirs is only one negative to this book and that’s the time spent impatiently waiting for the next explosive story! Thank you Ms Zanetti for delivering riveting tales, with captivating characters and moments that make us laugh out load.

I love Logan and have enjoyed watching grow into a fine, fierce young man.  So it was somewhat difficult to watch his transition into a mated male.  However, it was fun to watch the sparks fly between him and Mercy.  It was a little off-putting to have the Fae world suddenly thrust into the storyline, but i’m thinking the author wanted to inject something new into an old storyline.  So far so good.

Oh my goodness.... what an amazing book!!  I absolutely love the Dark Protectors series and this book definitely did NOT disappoint!!  This book is about Logan's story and may I just say WOW, WOW, WOW!!  He is such a 'playboy' and always in 'trouble' so reading about him being all grown up and meeting his mate was swoon worthy.  Rebecca Zanetti is such an engaging writer and never fails to find ways to hook her readers.  During this story we are introduced to fairies... just kidding, they actually prefer to be called Fae, and Zanetti does an amazing job weaving the Fae into this magical world of vampires, demons, witches, and shapeshifters.  After being introduced to the Seven in Vampire's Faith we know that they need to find three special keys to prevent a world disaster and one key has already been found.  This book begins with Logan following Mercy O'Malley because she is a key.  Mercy ends up being more than a key.  She is a spunky, compassionate, spitfire of a Fae; whom also ends up being Logan's mate!!  The events that take place throughout the story are engaging and exciting.  It was tough having to stop reading to even go to work!!  If you're looking for a story that is interesting, romantic, and fun this is the book to read.  Enjoy!!
