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..
My Teaser for Ocean’s Gift by Demelza Carlton

“…I feel she will succeed, despite our doubts. She understands humans better than any of our kind ever has, yet she is one of our elders. She will accomplish what none of us could. In her own way, she is the ocean’s gift to humans, ensuring their survival when their world will be irrevocable changed.”

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.

New Release – Siren’s Curse by Sara Jiang
The cover for Siren’s Curse by Sara Jiang is beautiful in it’s simplicity.
I lm a lover of water and find the blue fading dark to light with the sunlight filtering through very soothing.
I haven’t read a lot of books about sirens, add in a sea dragon, a heart-throb shark and an eel looking for revenge – what could possibly go wrong? ^_^
Title: Siren’s Curse
Author: Sara Jiang
Date of Publication: December 5, 2013
Circe only has seven days to live… and time is ticking.
Long ago, Sirens were cursed to stay on the rocks. If they ever stopped eating human flesh, their horns would pierce their bodies and they would die.
Circe had a choice: stay on the Perch with her sisters, feeding off of sailors for all time, or to dive into the deep, face the unknown, and take her chance at freedom.
On her journey into the ocean Circe meets a precocious little sea dragon, a heart-throb shark, and an eel with a vengeance. She comes face to face with witches, madmen, monsters, and a mysterious, loud rumbling that seems to only be getting louder.
Can she break the curse?.
