And, as she looks more closely, she sees that the mermaid is dragging a drowning sailor in her arms. Because, only hours before, another princess, the daughter of the sea queen, has decided to risk everything and take a look at the world above the sea: the world of mortals. And there she finds a storm, a shipwreck, a sailor, and sets in train events which will change both women's worlds for ever.

I had the hardest time picking just one book to feature as my WoW this week, but I have to say that the stories of mermaids never get old for me. Mermaid sounds delightfully fresh and exciting, but still true to the classic sort of land vs. sea tale. Plus, Mermaid has an absolutely drool-worthy cover. The colours, the font...all of it...I'm sold on this story of mermaids, princesses, wars between different worlds and deep sea adventures (and it totally keeps with my love of water, eh?!) What do you think, and what are you waiting on this week?
I've never heard of this one but I must have it! I love mermaid stories, always have, and this one is definitely going on my list and I will attempt to wait patiently for its release. Gorgeous cover!
ReplyDeleteI have never read any mermaid book before but the blurb of this book sounds really interesting! Thank you for sharing =)
ReplyDeleteOMG! Every book that has a mermaid on the cover is a must-read for me!! I love the blurb on the cover. Thank you so much for sharing, I"m adding it to my list!
ReplyDeleteOh no I fear a sad love triangle coming :(
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of this book before, but it kind of reminds me of The Little Mermaid! :) I'll check this book out when it comes out.
ReplyDeleteMermaids are the new fallen angels. I CALLED IT!

ReplyDeleteI LOVE this cover and I have a fascination with mermaids! Have you read Daughters of the Sea: Hannah by Kathryn Lasky? It's a good mermaid book AND there are supposed to be more!
Great pick Melissa!
Interesting! I wasn't a big fan of Godmother, but I liked some things about it and want to try this author again.

Lots of mermaid books these days! I featured one on my WoW as well :D This one looks promising!
ReplyDeleteMy first time hearing about this one...but I'm hooked! Sounds good and definitely agree on that cover. Nice pick!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is amazing and it sounds really great!!! I'm not sure I'm going to love Mermaid books, but this one sounds cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the mermaids too! I've read two mermaid books now: Lost Voices and The Mermaid's Mirror and really enjoyed them both!
