Witch’s apprentice Bridey Corkill has hated the ocean ever since she watched her granddad dive in and drown with a smile on his face. So when a dead girl rolls in with the tide in the summer of 1913, sixteen-year-old Bridey suspects that whatever compelled her granddad to leap into the sea has made its return to the Isle of Man.
Soon, villagers are vanishing in the night, but no one shares Bridey’s suspicions about the sea. No one but the island’s witch, who isn’t as frightening as she first appears, and the handsome dark-haired lad Bridey rescues from a grim and watery fate. The cause of the deep gashes in Fynn’s stomach and his lost memories are, like the recent disappearances, a mystery well-guarded by the sea. In exchange for saving his life, Fynn teaches Bridey to master her fear of the water — stealing her heart in the process.
Now, Bridey must work with the Isle’s eccentric witch and the boy she isn’t sure she can trust — because if she can’t uncover the truth about the ancient evil in the water, everyone she loves will walk into the sea, never to return.
Mermaids? Hm... sounds interesting and witches! :)

ReplyDeleteIt really does capture your attention!
DeleteI love the idea of mermaids but haven't read many that are actually good. I hope you review this at some point so I know if I should give it a try!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a new blog design? It looks different - yet not lol
Karen @For What It's Worth
I have a few suggestions. I liked "Monstrous Beauty" and "The Mermaid's Pendant" wasn't too bad. I also love "Fred the Mermaid" and need to finish up that series. That one is humorous. :)
DeleteI'm slowly getting the blog changed. A few things got in my way, but it will be changing more hopefully soon. :D
Oh, I will definitely be interested in your thoughts on this one! Love the cover as well! Evil Mermaids!
ReplyDeleteI hope to read it! :)
DeleteAaaaand that's like one of my biggest freak me outs ever. lol I so have a problem with bodies being where bodies don't belong and all things creepy in the water. I'd need comforting during this one I think. lol
ReplyDeleteLOL! Me thinks your man candy would help. :)
DeleteHmmm. Sounds like it has a few elements I'd enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteI think you'd like it. I hope I do! :D
