I choose Sirens!
But you kind of knew I would, didn’t you, O readers?
Er…you’d probably like to know what I’m talking about, then, eh?
See, the lovely Karen Amanda Hooper’s debut novel releases today, and by way of helping her celebrate this momentous event, a group of us are choosing sides in the war between the merfolk and the selkies that features prominently in the novel.
Yeah, I know. Sirens aren’t technically part of the war. But they’re in the novel, and are hawt, so of course I chose them. Also, I wrote a flash fiction piece about a siren this year and placed it in an antho, so I have a soft spot in my heart for the boat-wrecking vixens.
Anywho, how about some details on the novel? Here we are, then:
The Blurb
Yara Jones doesn’t believe in sea monsters—until she becomes one.
When a hurricane hits her island home and she wakes up with fins, Yara finds herself tangled up in an underwater world of mysterious merfolk and secretive selkies. Both sides believe Yara can save them by fulfilling a broken promise and opening the sealed gateway to their realm, but they are battling over how it should be done. The selkies want to take her life. The merfolk want something far more precious.
Treygan, the stormy-eyed merman who turned Yara mer, will stop at nothing and sacrifice everything to protect his people—until he falls for Yara. The tides turn as Yara fights to save herself, hundreds of sea creatures, and the merman who has her heart. She could lose her soul in the process—or she might open the gateway to a love that’s deeper than the oceans.
