Characters edit
- Mercy: A Bodiless being who is forced to merge with other living human's for a short duration over and over again. She has no memory of her past, including what her true name is and what she used to be. It is presumed that she is an angel of some type. Possibly a fallen angel who is living out some sort of eternal or semi-eternal punishment. In this book she inhabits the body of Carmen.
- Ryan Daley: A young man living in Paradise. Mercy is placed in Ryan's house, while she is in Paradise, in his missing twin sister's bedroom. Ryan has never given up hope that his sister is just missing and not dead as everyone else believes. Ryan is very handsome and headstrong and is the one person that realises Carmen/Mercy is more than she seems.
- Lauren Daley: Ryan's twin sister. Lauren has been missing for two years after being snatched from her own home. Before going missing Lauren was well known for her beauty and singing skills.
- Luc: A handsome being that has always been a part of Mercy's dreams no matter what body she inhabits. Luc is a golden being; golden skin, golden hair. He can be captivating and terrifying. Always Luc has asked Mercy to "find him." It is assumed he has some connection to Mercy in her true form.
- Carmen: A young girl with an amazing singing voice. Carmen is underdeveloped for her age. It is the body of Carmen that Mercy is currently inhabiting. Has skin conditions such as eczema that mean she isn't a beauty but boys are still drawn to the body.
