Waiting on Wednesday (65)

WOW is hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine

May 22nd, 2012
Emma and her friend Chloe are spending vacation in Florida. When Emma (literally) runs into a hot guy named Galen on the beach, little does she know he’s a prince of the Syrena. Galen and Emma both feel something strange – is it attraction? – and Galen suspects that Emma might well be the girl he’s heard of – a human who can communicate with fish. 

What follows is a deadly scene with a shark in which Galen witnesses Emma’s gifts. He must know more about her, and follows her back to New Jersey, and high school, to find out for sure if she’s the key to saving his kingdom. Soon, Emma can’t deny her feelings for him, but can’t explain them, either – and both she and Galen must learn more about where she comes from and what her powers are before they can trust one another and their feelings.
I'm a sucker for mermaid / siren / mythical ocean creatures stories. It's a weakness. But, it sounds like there's some instalove (hopefully, there's not). Regardless, I'll definitely be checking this out. 

What novel are you waiting on?

This book sounds really good! I agree with Tiffany that the cover is pretty amazing too.

Alyssa Kirk recommended me to your blog since I'm brand new to book blogging and I'm a new follower.

I hadn't heard of this one before. I know that sirens and mermaids are becoming more and more popular so I bet this will do well. Nice pick!

Sandra said...

Good choice. This was my WOW last week. Lots of mermaid/mermen books coming out. I just read an ARC of Lies Beneath and I have another merman book as my WOW this week.
