Waiting on Wednesday {22}

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Tempest Rising
by Tracey Deebs (May 10, 2011)

Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer waves near her California home; continue her steady relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like her mother.

The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits her—and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance. {taken from goodreads.com}

I have only read one mermaid book & I wasn't too impressed with it.  However - that's not to say I wouldn't try another.  This one definitely peaks my interest!  Sounds like this girl has some decisions to make... stay human & be with boring boyfriend, or turn mermaid & experience a whimsical experience with gorgeous surfer dude. Hmm.. tough choices!


What are you "waiting on" this Wednesday??

    Is this a different cover for this book? It is, I just went and checked. I hadn't seen this one before. And I'm really starting to want to read more mermaid books. I've read a couple...one I liked and one I didn't.
