To her family, Mai Redstone is weak. Her shape-shifting power is nowhere near as impressive as their abilities to literally alter the world around them. But when she puts on the costume to become Mercy, a rooftop-climbing chameleon with a thousand disguises and at least nine lives, she feels almost invincible. When a local politician is murdered and the police call Mercy in to help, the stability Mai has built out of past pain threatens to crumble. The dead politician turns out to be her uncle, a man who made her childhood a living hell. Caught between giving a medal to the killer and being forced to find the murderer for her family, Mai must make the difficult choice between family loyalty and self-preservation. Mercy is a blade that can cut both ways. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Ylva books almost always surprise me, and this one was no different. It's about Mai. She's a teacher and also a Meta (this takes place in the same universe that "Shattered" by Lee Winter does, I think? Sorta? Anyway. That's how I read it, that these books from the Superheroine Collection will be in almost the same universe?)
But, she's not a very, very powerful Meta, and that's always been a bone of contention in her family, because of her Mother especially, but, her other family members too, are powerful and influential and Mai is instead all about the humans, and helping people of all kinds as Mercy.
Then her Uncle is killed and that's when the meat of the story gets going. Who did it, and something that I thought was even more important in the story (and more interesting, I sorta guessed the who, didn't guess right they why), why did the person who did it do it?
There was a little bit of a romance, sorta, kinda, ish, in the book as well with a character that I will only spell, and even with the author very helpfully telling us how the name was pronounced (loved that sentence in the book, it was so seamless) I'm pretty sure that I'd still screw it up. Xóchitl was an interesting character that I would have loved to see more of (but I get why we didn't). And in general while I really liked the book, I did wish that there had been some parts that had been more in depth, maybe a little more Mai and her family's part of the world building.
Still, I really enjoyed the book, and it's always fun being surprised by something different in lesbian fiction books. *Taps fingers* Okay, so, (not to be horribly greedy) when's the next Superheroine Collection book coming out again? (I love these, I need 500 of them.... :)) ( )
