ABOUT THE SERIES
Deep Blue is the first in a series of four epic tales set in the depths of the ocean, where six mermaids seek to save their hidden world.
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.
About DARK TIDE
Once a lost and confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin Resistance (BFR). While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own. Ling is in the hold of Rafe Mfeme’s giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. Becca meets up with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is hiding a shameful secret. Ava can’t return home, because death riders await her arrival. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina’s betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. If Lucia’s parents become suspicious, his life–and all of Sera’s hopes–will be extinguished. Political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and spine-tingling suspense swirl like a maelstrom in this penultimate book in the WaterFire saga.

green
I’m thinking my tail would be either yellow or like a sea foam green oh or maybe like a ombre from black to silver! That would be great! Thanks for the giveaway and sorry I had so many color choices for the question its just so hard to choose! 🙂
If I were a mermaid, my tail would be a beautiful, glittering, multi-shade blue. These blues would represent my many moods, the moods of the ocean, and the various skills and talents of the people in my world.
I’d have to say that if I were a mermaid I’d want my tail to be a beautiful teal color that sparkles! When I was very young i often dreamed of being a mermaid. My mom would say this one has quite the imagination…
I just love green so I would love either an emerald or teal tail 🙂
Mine would be green. It is my favorite color.
I think I’d either want a very bright pink that was shimmery, or else more of a peacock colored blue/teal type color. Or maybe opalescent, I do love opals!
I would think it would be a opal or iridescent color in spring/summer and a plum/midnight blue in fall and winter.
teal green
If I were a mermaid my tail would be a mix between light blue and light purple because those are my favorite colors and I think they’ll look great under the sea 😀
Bright Purple would be great.
PINK!!! PIIIIIINKKKKK!
LOL – YES YES!
I would want mine to be blue.
I would think a dark bluish green!!
If I were a mermaid I would probably have a lavender/rose gold glittering tail. 🙂 Thank you for the giveaway!
PURPLE

Gold!
My tail would be sparkling green!
My hair would be bright teal and royal purple 🙂
My tail would be yellow.
I would like it to be in pink!!!
I would love to have a beautiful, jewel-toned tail, but I’m a southern, swamp girl. My tail would probably look like a catfish. 🙂
If I were a mermaid, I would want a dark blue tail, but the blue gets lighter as you move from the fins to the waist…an ombre of blues.
black
If I was a mermaid, my tail would be a royal purple!
I’d have a rainbow tail! If I’m going to be a mermaid, I’m going to be the mermaidiest I can be.
My tail would obviously be like a mint/teal color. I’m obsessed with that color and it can be seen in almost everything in my room and even my clothes!
My mermaid tail would be a beautiful blending of vibrant greens and blues. In an almost iridescent color.
I would want it to be tie dye with lots of purple
Pink!!
Purple!
Aqua with gold flecks
My tail would be yellow with touches of gold and silver on it.
If I were a mermaid my tail would be gold and purple :)!
