This cover blows me away!! What am I saying? I am blown away (I know I am repeating myself) by this refreshing twist on the myths and legends of mermaids. I was only 7% in and felt like jumping up and down for joy. I am thinking this may be the best mermaid novel I have ever read. The story has drawn me in and I can hardly put it down long enough to write this post.

Be sure and go to the end of the post to check out the cover for Book II, Ocean’s Infiltrator. Another cover that makes me long to dive into that beautiful blue water. Plus, surprise! There is a book trailer.

I’ll be reviewing this book on February 19, 2014, so be sure and come back and I will tell you all about it..

BLURB From Amazon
.
A bestselling paranormal romance and sea adventure, weaving mermaids, mythology, folklore and fantasy into modern day Australia.
.
Sirens don’t fall in love with humans. For centuries it has been so…
.
But Sirena is different. She lost her first love to sharks and a storm, cursing the islands that stole him from her. Times have changed and she must swim ashore once more, to the islands she once cursed. Gone are the boats powered by sail and steam – jet boats with GPS are now the order of the day. Enter Joe, the deckhand on the Dolphin. A handy man to have around when the lights go out. He’ll fix your generator and have the lights back on in no time, no worries. But can he seduce a siren? Or will she swim away before he can uncover her secret? A book about lobsters, beer and boobs, on some cursed islands off the coast of Western Australia. At least, that’s how Joe tells it.
.
For Sirena, it’s a very different story.

Ella Stevens is a woman on the eve of her wedding when a frantic phone call from an old college pal sets her on a course that takes her away from the altar and away from any semblance of life as she knows it. Unfortunately, rescuing her friend means losing herself when she stumbles onto a time portal in Old Cairo that sends her back in time at the moment just before the greatest archaeological discovery of the age. Trying desperately to get back to her own time–and her fiance, a sexy US Marshal who, contrary to popular belief, doesn’t have all the patience in the world–Ella discovers that evil isn’t limited to any one timeline. With the startling discovery of the most precious treasure she will ever have, Ella risks her life to protect it while fighting to find her way back to her man.

I want to tell you about the book I am reading, but it is an ARC and I cannot share.
 I will be participating in the tour in February and will tell you about it then. That being said, it is not unusual for me to be reading more than one book at a time, so I will tell you about the next book on my TBR list.
.
Yucatan Dead is a book I received from the author. The title caught my attention first, and I am very excited that I am being given the opportunity to review this novel by the International Bestselling Author, D V Berkom.  I have been to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico numerous times and love the area, so I will be sharing:

She was a dangerous man’s lover…now she’s his dangerous enemy.

“…an unrelenting thriller of a tension-filled novel…Yucatan Dead is the stuff of which blockbuster movies are made…very highly recommended…” ~ Midwest Book Review

“…Yucatan Dead is a gripping thriller with a gutsy heroine and a tightly woven plot; it will no doubt please Berkom’s current fans and gather more.” ~ Pacific Book Review

“…Yucatan Dead ratchets up the tension from the start as Kate deals with hit women, warring Mexican drug cartels, and unofficial paramilitary organizations. Survival is never a given…” ~ Big Al’s Books ‘n Pals

For Kate Jones, being on the run from her former lover-the vicious leader of a Mexican drug cartel-was never going to be easy. But with a new identity, a new lover, and a new life in Arizona, she was beginning to believe she’d made it through the worst.

Then, in an act of twisted revenge, Kate’s kidnapped and imprisoned by her deadly enemy, his intention to force her to pay back the money she stole before he kills her. Fate intervenes and she finds herself working against the cartels deep in the Yucatan with a group of off-the-grid commandos.

From peaceful northern Arizona to the steamy jungles of Mexico, Kate Jones must decide for herself if she’ll continue to run…

…or turn and fight the evil that pursues her.

MY TEASE

I pretended to watch one of the girls on stage but truthfully  my eyes were scanning the

room, even though I didn’t know what I was looking for.

Maybe it would be easy and the vampires will be wearing tuxedos and big black capes like

Bela Lugosi did in Dracula, wouldn’t that be nice?
