Waiting on Wednesday is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and allows book bloggers to spotlight releases that we are greatly anticipating.
This week, my Waiting on Wednesday pick is:
Goodreads summary:
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.
And why am I waiting on it? Well, many reasons…
1) I am very curious about the plot. The synopsis definitely has me wanting to read it!
2) Look at that cover. Just LOOK AT IT. It’s beautiful. And that girl is totally going to do the Ariel hair flip when she reaches the surface. Don’t even try to pretend that you don’t know exactly what I’m talking about.
3) I like mermaids. Don’t you like mermaids?
4) I actually live in Florida and love to see my home state in books. (Where I frequently pretended to be a mermaid at the beach while growing up. Is that not normal?)
Of Poseidon by Anna Banks comes out May 22nd, 2012 by Feiwel and Friends.
