ABOUT ROGUE WAVE
In this exciting sequel to DEEP BLUE, the mermaids are on an exceedingly important and dangerous quest. Their journey is testing their skills and their friendships, forcing them to grow and take on new challenges, and will alter their lives forever.

 

Serafina, Neela, Ling, Ava, Becca, and Astrid, six mermaids from realms scattered throughout the seas and freshwaters, were summoned by the leader of the river witches to learn an incredible truth: the mermaids are direct descendants of the Six Who Ruled–powerful mages who once governed the lost empire of Atlantis. The ancient evil that destroyed Atlantis is stirring again, and only the mermaids can defeat it. To do so, they need to find magical talismans that belonged to the Six.

 

Serafina believes her talisman was buried with an old shipwreck. While researching its location, she is almost discovered by a death rider patrol led by someone familiar. . . . The pain of seeing him turned traitor is devastating.

 

Neela travels to Matali to warn her parents of the grave threat facing their world.  But they find her story outlandish; a sign that she needs to be confined to her chamber for rest and recovery. She escapes and travels to Kandina, where her talisman is in the possession of fearsome razormouth dragons.

 

As they hunt for their talismans, both Serafina and Neela find reserves of courage and cunning they didn’t know they possessed. They face down danger and death, only to endure a game-changing betrayal, as shocking as a rogue wave.

 

DeepBlue ABOUT DEEP BLUE

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe.

 

When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera’s mother. Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations.

 

Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world’s very existence.

  2. I never read a book about mermaids just watched a movie (now don’t laugh) SPLASH with Tom Hanks & Daryl Hannah, and the animation ARIEL. What I saw of DEEP BLUE, I really want to read it 😀 Thank you for the giveaway and Good Luck! Oh like your blog by the way.

  3. I haven’t really read any books where the mermaids were the lead characters so right now I don’t have a favorite book.

  4. I Always adored the little mermaid as a kid and still is although it’s a bit mortifying when I found out about the original version haha! and I like to read/hear more about all sorts of version of it that would be great! ^_^

  10. I don’t really have a favorite mermaid tale, besides the kids movie The Little Mermaid. I haven’t read any books about mermaids, but would love to read this one. Thanks for having the giveaway.

  12. I think the only other mermaid story I know of is The Little Mermaid, which is great because I love to read a book with a premise I have never before seen explored!

  15. I have never really heard many mermaid tales. But I love reading things about mermaids; I really interests me. I remember my best friend were obsessed with them in first grade and wrote this story. It was so funny.

  19. I can not help myself but The Little Mermaid is my fav. I have watched it so many times with all the kids.

  23. Of course, I love The Little Mermaid. Special memories associated w/book and movie. Read book in 8th grade and it was first movie I brought my first child to see. It is now one of her fave Disney films. However, I’ve been looking for a new, interesting Mermaid story to enjoy. Covers are lovely. Perhaps I should start here. 🙂

  24. My favorite mermaid tale is a tie between Of Poseidon by Anna Banks and Monstrous Beauty by Elizabeth Fama!

  25. Of course, I love The Little Mermaid. Special memories associated w/book and movie. Read book in 8th grade and it was first movie I brought my first child to see.

  26. The Little Mermaid was my first mermaid story, so it has to be my #1 in the list. Thank you for this giveaway! 🙂

  40. The original The Little Mermaid is heartbreaking, so I do like the Disney one better. Also like Splash with Daryl Hannah. My fave book series is Fred the Mermaid by MaryJanice Davidson.

  42. I don’t normally read mermaid books because I really can’t find any that are good. The most recent ones I read were the Emily Windsnap novels, and it’s been at least five years since I read one last. I have been wanting to read Deep Blue since the first time I saw it in B&N. If only I had the money to buy it then….

    • Tera Lynn Childs wrote an awesome mermaid series – Forgive My Fins – also try Anna Banks’ Of Poseidon and Amanda Hocking Wake series – (especially if you like slasher type movies)

  48. I don’t have a favorite mermaid story….but I do love several selkie stories!

    Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

  49. Oooohhh…hmm. Don’t know if I really have a “favorite.” I really enjoyed Coral and Bone by TIffany Daune! Although…mermaids weren’t exactly…you know….in that read. ;o) Rising by Holly Kelly is pretty good as well! Thanks for the giveaway!! This one has been on my “WANT” list forever!

  50. I love mermaids tales!! I read The Tail of Emily Windsnap when i was younger, and i loved it. I love h2o just add water! its a tv series and its amazing. And aquamarine, the movie!! i love too. I love mermaids :$
