I absolutely adore this series and this book features Logan so I'm in heaven. Yep that adorable, meddlesome, hunk of trouble is all grown up and about to meet his Mate !
So how does the author make this story different ? Well allow me to introduce the Fae for the first time in this amazing series. Yes not only do we have demons, vampire ,shifters and witches but now we learn about the ahem fairies ! Mercy is no ordinary Fae, no she's one of three special keys who are essential if the secretive Seven are to prevent world carnage. Trouble is both Logan and Mercy have very different ideas so settle in and watch the fireworks fly as this couple tempt, tease and thoroughly drive each other insane !
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

Demon’s Mercy by Rebecca Zanetti is an out of this world novel. I mean that in so many ways. It really does take me, out of this world and into many others. Science fiction, science, and fantasy are all found in this clever written plot. Rebecca Zanetti had me enchanted from the get go. I could not stop reading this novel.

The main characters were from two worlds. Each one representing a different side of an equation but each one shared a goal. Both were warriors. One a female fae and the other a male demon who will stop at nothing to protect the ones they love. These two were easily a great pair. Matched in both stamina, strength, and determination. One more brawny and the other more intelligent. I love how the writer made the whole intelligence is sexy kind of thing. That just made the male demon, Logan, more irresistible to me. Mercy is a young woman on a mission. Stubborn to a fault, but she will protect those she loves with a fierceness that matches Logan’s powerful military training. It was quite a show with these two.

Demon’s Mercy is about two worlds’ populations coming at each other to stop something bigger from happening. The fae have already done what the Demons are trying to do and there were consequences. So the fae with their advanced technology and partial knowledge plan to stop the Demon group known as the seven. This seven group is a powerful group of men who can defend the worlds from a greater disaster. But fighting the fae and the fae’s enemies will be trying.

Get ready to enter a world of action, suspense, and hot steamy scenes. The pages kept me engaged all night long. Quick reading, lovable characters, and a dilemma that kept me wondering…is inside this incredible paranormal romance. I highly recommend reading this book to all.

5 You are more than enough stars!!!! Loved it! Every single word! I will never tire of the Dark Protectors!!! Never, I say! This is Logan Kyllwood's story and we are introduced to the Fae with Mercy O'Malley. Wow! Just STUPENDOUS, AWESOME, FANTASTIC, MARVELOUS writing and world building. I can't get enough of how Ms. Zanetti connects the Realm world and all the different facets that seem to happen to everyone. It is beyond AMAZING! Without giving too much away, Logan has to go through an intense ritual and is charged with bringing in a Key person. Mercy is tasked in stopping him and of course, who can stop and Kyllwood? Lol. Filled with non-stop action, suspense, laugh out loud moments, the oh so alpha dominating sex that only the alphas of Ms. Zanetti's books have, and you will be in for a thrill of a ride. There are so many other things happening that I am on edge to see how it will all play out with the new and evolved cast of characters. I loved Hope and Paxton, the most! Here is looking to more from this series and I hope it never stops!

*****I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book provided by NetGalley*****

This is the ninth in the Dark Protector series of novels by Rebecca Zanetti. In it we meet Logan Kyllwood and Mercy O'Malley, a vampire demon hybrid and a member of the Fae nation. Definitely not a match made in heaven, or so one would think!!

The story of Logan and Mercy's journey through a number of different worlds and the other beings they need to overcome, as well as their growing feelings for each other is captivating. Their actions to ensure the survival of their world is, at times, violent although totally in keeping with the overarching story.

This is, at heart a story of love and a meeting of two different cultures. However, this is just part of what is happening in this epic tale.

I have not read any of the other Dark Protectors titles and feel, that if I had, I may understand more fully the battle that is going on throughout this.

In my opinion, that could only be fully appreciated if the reader has a full understanding of all that has happened previously which I assume is what makes up the first seven titles in this series.

This didn't detract from my enjoyment of Logan and Mercy's love story and will certainly be looking out for more in this series in the future.

I loved this book! I am excited they introduced the fae in this one. The series keeps getting better and I can't wait for the next one.

I love any and all books by Rebecca Zannetti and this book was no exception. Watching Garrett and Logan in past books and then seeing Logan fall for Mercy was epic. I loved the power struggle between the two. After this book I cant wait for Ivar 'Vike' to find his Promise.

I love the fact that Rebecca Zanetti has introduced a new species in this series. All the abilities the Fae have, open so many new ideas for her writing and I can’t wait to see what’s next.
Logan Kyllwood has known nothing but war and protecting the ones he love since he was a young boy. Being a hybrid demon/vampire leaves his family as outcasts even if they are demon royalty. Now destine as one of the Seven he barely has the time to look for one of the Keys and definitely not for romance.
Mercy O’Malley is one of the few Fae left, they have a breeding plan in place to grow their numbers but first they need to stop the Seven from reforming or there will be no life left to live. Her plan is to stop Logan from becoming one of the Seven and school him on what will happen if he does not. It’s is not her plan to fall for the bossy arrogant and oh so sexy hybrid.
Mercy is a very strong women and sure of her abilities and her peoples knowledge of the universe. The more time she spends with Logan the more she is torn between duty and destiny. If Logan can only get Mercy to stay where he puts her he may be able to protect her and solve the Seven’s issues.
Realization of ones worth and who to trust will solve duty versus destiny but which one will they choose?

So happy to be back in this world and even happier to get Logan’s story! This world this author has created absolutely fascinates me and I always look forward to the progression of the continuing storyline as well as the love story set within it. I love the checking with some of my favorite characters that happens organically during the story.
This particular story is a non-stop action packed fun and sexy ride!! I love Logan and Mercy together. Their verbal and physical sparring is awesome and even sexy. I really like Mercy and I love her for the dominant and bossy but oh so sexy Logan. She is a badass little Fae, and this is yet another species we get more information on during this book and they are an interesting addition. Logan is well, he is everything! He’s as Bossy as he is Sexy but also a little sweet! He is waiting for his induction into the Seven when Mercy drops into his life an upends him. Love the story, love Logan and Mercy and I can’t wait for more!!!

Demon's Mercy is Logan and Mercy's story. I'm so used to the fun loving Logan that never leaves Garrett's side. You get to see a whole new side to Logan when his protective instincts towards his mate comes out.

I'm very curious how Logan and Garrett will be in future books. These two are never apart, but now there's Mercy. She does seem to fit right in so maybe it'll be the three musketeers instead. Although, I'm not sure Logan's alphaness will allow Mercy to get into any shenanigans.

Mercy is one of my more favorite heroines of the series. One, because she has the power that makes her capable of handling herself in dangerous situations. I loved seeing her jumping in to fight because of this. When it's a human woman against the supernatural, that's when it doesn't make sense.

I also like that while she started out all buttoned up and analytical, she is just as mischievous as Logan and Garrett. She really does fit with these two. I hope Garrett's mate will be the same. I think it will be fun to see both couples all working together.

I'm looking forward to the next book! I love these big, bossy men!

I was excited going into this book.  Paranormal romance is one of my favorite troupes and I'm always hoping to find a new author that blows me away with their story.  This book didn't do that for me.  It was good, I enjoyed it but, it isn't one that is going to stick with me which was disappointing. 

I liked the idea of this storyline, it was one that I thought I would fall right into.  Unfortunately I found myself growing bored with it and had trouble staying fully engaged in what was going on.  Mercy should have been a badass, but more times than not she was having to be saved from some kind of danger.  I really wanted those moments where she stood on her own and took care of business.  Logan was your typical alpha and I loved that about him but, he lost points with me when he dismissed Mercy's opinions and knowledge of what was going on in their world.

If you love Rebecca's work I have no doubt you'll like this book, it just wasn't for me.

***5 ‘#TeamLogan’ Stars***

Ever since meeting Logan and Garrett in Wicked Ride I have had a huge, HUGE, book boyfriend crush on them both. I mean, I seriously ADORE both of them, so to say I did a happy dance when I found out that Logan was getting his HEA is an understatement and I was not disappointed. I will admit that there were moments of huge eye rolls and wanting to pull out my “bang head here” sign and use it, but I loved it all and wanted more.

I’m going to sound like a broken record, but I ADORED Logan. He is all kinds of Alpha AF/Book Boyfriend goodness. Protective, stubborn and deadly (when it’s called for) and all kinds of sweet and smexy, the male is kind of everything. Mercy....Here’s the thing with Mercy, I loved her, I did, but dear lord did she try my patience. I mean, I can’t really hate on her because she is so steadfast in her beliefs, and she comes by them honestly, but man...she tried me. Thankfully she is sweet, snarky and intelligent and definitely kept me on my toes.

As for their journey to their HEA, it was a rocky one, an enjoyable one for sure, what with the whole kidnapping thing, but even with all the craycray going on that spark between them was there from the very start. I loved how they got to know each other and found that despite the issues they were facing, they actually liked each other and in a weird way complemented the other. The how and why they ended up mated was not what I was expecting, but it totally worked for me.

A lot happens in this book, like craycray kind of stuff happens, but it kept me turning the pages to find out what would happen next. Well, that and the rest of the crazy cast of characters. I obviously did the whole swoony sigh thing whenever Garrett was around, Sam may be coming in a quick second though. I love Hope and Pax and all that is going on there. And then there is Grace and Adare, I want more of them for sure. But I’m definitely looking forward to getting my hands on Alpha’s Promise because Vike totally intrigues me and I need more!

4 stars

Back to the Realm we go, and I freaking LOVE being back in this world! This is book 9 of the Dark Protectors series, the second book in the new story arc which began in Vampire's Faith. So definitely don’t go into this one without at least a little bit of background. This is the long-awaited story of Logan Kyllwood (young brother of Zane), a fast-moving, action-packed story and I loved it.

Logan is a vampire-demon hybrid, and one of the deadliest fighters in the Realm (a collective group of allied supernaturals). In the last book of the series, we saw him and best friend Garrett accepted into a secretive and exclusive group called ‘the seven’ – a group of warriors tasked with protecting the world from a deadly threat. Garrett is already a member, and Logan’s initiation will complete the group, and he is gearing up to undergo the mystical, potentially deadly ceremony.

Mercy is fae – a new species introduced to the series. The fae as a people are not well known to the Realm, often thought of as mythical, and as a race they are facing extinction. The most pressing matter for the fae though is the re-emergence of the seven, which they believe will have devastating consequences for the entire universe. Mercy is just one of the fae tasked with stopping the powerful group, and she takes it upon herself to kidnap Logan to prevent him from becoming one of them and completing their mystical group.

This book is a wild ride of action, excitement and intrigue, and it moves at a terrific pace. From the moment that Logan and Mercy meet there is barely a moment to breathe as they run, fight, chase and argue.

“I won’t let them hurt you, Mercy.”
She drew back, her eyes widening. “You won’t seem to understand.” Leaning forward again, she dropped her voice to a whisper. “We’re enemies, Logan.”


The action is great but it’s all about the romance for me, and OMG there is so much back and forth between these two! They are both driven by their pre-determined destinies, which put them on opposite sides with lots of secrets between them, but they share a mystical bond and a whole lot of lusty attraction, and it’s all swept up into an exciting and intense ride as they figure it all out.

“You’re different, and I think you know it. There’s more to us, and it’s a fucking tragedy that we can’t explore further what we could have.”>


Honestly, it got a bit frustrating at times, and I wanted to smack Mercy for her constant running, which all became a bit repetitive. But romantic, determined, alpha Logan is definitely a treat and all of that intensity creates sizzling chemistry and the sexy time is really freaking hot.

“I’ve never had anything in this life that was just mine, darlin’.”
She tilted her head to the side, her noise lightly brushing his. “I’m not yours.”
But she could be.


This book has a touch of the mystical about it, with lots of talk of dimension-jumping and other worlds adding a lot of interest and will lead to some really great storylines in the rest of the series. And to increase the awesome, we get to touch base with the characters we met in the last book of the series, Logan’s brothers (including Janie and Hope), and the King of the Realm himself in all of his glory.

“I’ll start.” 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.


The story continues to build towards an exciting showdown that will be coming later in the series, and I’m really enjoying the build-up. I love that we get to know more about the seven in this book, and I’m excited for their stories to be told in their own books.

So yeah, a little frustrating perhaps, but still a great read.

4 stars.

This is another entertaining and thrilling instalment into the Dark Protector series.

Logan Kyllwood is a hybrid. Part demon, part vampire, he is without a doubt possessive and protective. Having plans to become part of the Seven, he is not looking for a mate.

Mercy O’Malley is a feisty and headstrong Fae. She makes it her duty to always have a purpose. That purpose is stopping the Seven from indoctrinating Logan into their midst. Her future already planned, she is not looking for love.

When these two come together, however, their plans may just go up in smoke.

I loved Mercy and the fact that she is no damsel in distress. She outsmarts Logan in many ways and I enjoyed every second of it.

Logan is proud, protective and strong but is all about family. He does what’s necessary to keep the ones he loves safe.

The heat and passion between these two was H.O.T! Their back and forth was witty and fun. Together, they are the perfect couple.

The pace was good and the action kept coming.

I love this world Rebecca Zanetti has created. It is original and I always come back for more.

I received an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I do love a paranormal romance with demons and vampires and alpha males. Insert a drooling on my book meme here. And boy does Demon's Mercy deliver the goods. You may want to read this with a fan nearby. Don't get me wrong. It's in no way erotica, but the tension is so thick, you would need a chainsaw to cut it and the sex is hot. Logan and Mercy are fully grown adults who have both been through a lot, so there is no teen angst here. Also lets all do a happy dance, the bullshit female virgin trope is nowhere to be seen. I freaking hate that one, so I was stoked.

Demon's Mercy is book 9 in the Dark Protectors series, but this didn't get in the way of my enjoyment at all. I definitely want to go back and read the first 8 and I would keep going with the series as well. The characters that would be up next are very interesting, and I'm very interested to see what happens with Logan's brother Sam.

For me, all paranormal romance tends to follow a similar pattern, but this one does it well. I enjoyed the way it was written, I was never bored and it even had me laughing at some of the ridiculous positions our main characters got themselves into.
If you are a fan of fast-paced, paranormal romance with interesting back stories, then this series might be for you.
I received a copy of Demon's Mercy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

With Demon’s Mercy, Rebecca Zanetti offers up her 9th Dark Protectors novel, in which you’ll find yourself fanning yourself on the edge of your seat with its fast pace and sexiness.

Logal Kyllwood is young but he has seen his fair share of death and brutality. He’s responsibility towards his family has motivated him to go through a secret, excruciating ritual to become part of the Seven. But before he can become part of this ancient group of hybrids dedicated to protect the world he must first deal with involves the gorgeous female who has been trying to thwart him.

In order for her people to survive, Mercy O’Malley must fulfill her duty and take out the Vampire-Demon. Being an excellent strategist, her plan to appeal to his protective side and then kidnap him should be easy to carry out. But the bossy, arrogant, Neanderthal doesn’t want to go out without a fight and honestly she’s enjoying those way too much for her own good.

If you’re a fan of this series or its spinoff, Realm Enforcers, then I really don’t need to say much other than LOGAN!! SQUEEE!! I have loved this male right from the start and have seen his character grow and become the incredible hero that he is. When I met him, he was fun and adorable and became absolutely sexy and desirable, although I did miss his playful banter with Garret. Oh Garret, I can’t wait to read about you!

But in the meantime, Deamon’s Mercy is chockfull of Zanetti’s staple qualities I love about her books. It goes without saying we get a domineering male and a willful heroine who pushes all his buttons, tight knit family and friend bonds and hooking none stop action. I enjoyed the continuation of the series’ arc which includes Logan’s initiation into the Seven and the continuing battle with the Cysts and Kurjans, but there’s also the story’s particular that involve the Fae nation, various dimensions and trouble with the witches and shifters.

Logan and Mercy go head to head continuously as they’re both trying to save the world from opposite ends. Yet his protectiveness is completely endearing and won Mercy’s heart. I swooned when he continuously made her a priority and loved that they got their happy ending.

Demon’s Mercy is book #9 of the Dark Protectors series by Rebecca Zanetti. It is a sexy, standalone paranormal romance. Told from both points of view with a happy ending.

I don’t usually like to jump into a series mid-stream but I’d heard a lot about Zanetti. A friend told me how she’d loved the entire series and how rich the stories and characters all were. I was glad to find that not knowing the backstories and characters didn’t detract from my enjoyment of Demon’s Mercy. Zanetti has a great imagination and has created a wide scope of characters in a fascinating universe part based on myth and part all her creation. She’s woven the previous stories and other characters into this book with the right amount of detail so I didn’t feel lost or drowning in details.

Mercy is a great heroine. She’s impulsive and driven and not very good at following directions. She’s likable and complex enough to fascinate the reader, and Logan. Her overdeveloped self-confidence has her taking on Logan in a very ill-advised confrontation. She’s lucky that Logan takes an immmediate and intense liking to her. If he’d every considered harming her and her friends, it would have been a very bad outcome. This book is a drawn out dance between Mercy and Logan. There’re on opposing teams. They have a different understandings of what the Seven will accomplish. They like each other but there are some pretty obvious reasons a Fae and a Demon-vampire hybrid should think long and hard about starting a relationship. And eventually teaming up, they’re able to fight the good fight and save each other, and both their species, to live another day.

The characters are realistic, the fantastical world highly imaginative with tons of action and nail-biting suspense. While reading the series would have no doubt helped, the book was perfectly enjoyable on its own. .

Mercy O’Malley's people have been absent from their world for quite some time, enough time to acquire an almost myth-like status of their existence. But, with the balance of the world as they know it in jeopardy, they return with a very important mission. To stop the Seven from fully forming. 

Logan Kyllwood is ready to fulfill his destiny. But, when a fairy interrupts his life in an attempt to kidnap him, he finds himself in a chase against time to not only get to the bottom of the reason the Fey want him, but to protect the stubborn fairy herself...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Demon's Mercy was another unforgettable story within the incomparable Dark Protectors series. In a heart pounding race against time and multitudes of unknown enemies, Mercy and Logan find that despite their opposite goals, the connection that binds them is stronger than any duty they are bound to fulfill...

Mercy is a Fae who believes is getting things done, and tends to jump headfirst into whatever mission she believes in. Armed with the plan of kidnapping the fierce Vampire-Demon hybrid before he can become a part of the Seven, she embarks on a solo operation that pits her against the powerful, and dominating Logan, and lands her in a situation of having the tables turned on her.

Logan thinks it's cute that the little fairy thinks she can best him, until her ability to surprise him with her escape attempts starts to really get on his nerves. He needs answers, and Mercy is going to give them to him, by any means necessary. 

I enjoyed this book so much! Mercy was pretty resilient, and hilarious, with her determination to get away from Logan and her never-ending quest to escape from him. resulting in a lot of sexual tension filled chase scenes and the inevitable catching after said chase... insert full body shiver. Logan was definitely my brand of bossy and protective, with his need to keep Mercy close coupling with his growing desire to show her who was boss, their sparring only stops when they run into the multiple forms of danger that barely let up throughout this action-packed book. 

With the always ultra-sexy paranormal elements show casing the toughest of men finding their mates, and the women who can take on the dangerous world they exist in, this book did not disappoint as the newest segment in the continuing story of the Dark Protectors saga. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

Fairy, oops sorry Fae, meet vampire-demon. That’s just what happens when Mercy O’Malley meets Logan Kyllwood. Of course as all Zanetti’s stories go they have a lot to learn about each other’s worlds and lose their preconceived notions but oh do the sparks fly! I never tire of the author’s character development and how the main characters have their own story while tying into the paranormal world that will someday need to make a decision to save them all. For now it’s Mercy and Logan’s story and their story is full of love, action, suspense, spats, and just downright fun.

WOW! what a winner. Good solid plot and paranormal elements. Ms. Zanetti has done it again. LOVED IT!

So I'm obviously in the minority here, but I didn't love it. While I liked that she didn't fall all,over herself for him, that she was strong and capable, she was also blindly loyal and refused to consider anything that didn't support her world vision. So I was often frustrated with her, and with his excused of her behavior. It was an okay read, just not my favorite.
