Emma McIntosh has always felt a little different after a freak accident in the water left her convinced a school of fish saved her life. Years later, while on vacation in Florida with her best friend, Emma has a run-in with an attractive but strange young man who takes an immediate interest in her. Galen Forza, who happens to be a human ambassador for a species of merfolk called Syrena, can sense something is off about Emma, and his theory about the girl proves correct after a dangerous encounter with a shark. Now, he begins to wonder if she might be the one person who can unite the underwater kingdoms of Triton and Poseidon, but Galen is not the only one who recognizes this gift and an unknown underwater presence has also taken an interest in Emma. 

Stacking the Shelves (5) + Giveaway

Stacking the Shelves, June 16, 2012

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews to showcase what books and book related items you received this week! No new purchases this week, I think I went a little overboard last week! I did get two netgalleys for review for upcoming titles, which I am pretty excited to start reading. I am also hosting a giveaway for some Fierce Reads prizes, including a signed copy of Monument 14!

Literary Events >> Fierce Reads Tour

Yesterday was spectacular, as I attended the Fierce Reads Tour at Mysterious Galaxy Books in San Diego, CA, along with my fabulous friend Christina. I was super excited to be able to meet so many amazing authors and to pick up such a large stash of new beauties to add to my bookshelf! The authors who attended this event included Marissa Meyer (Cinder), Emmy Laybourne (Monument 14), Jessica Brody (My Life Undecided), Jennifer Bosworth (Struck), Leigh Bardugo (Shadow and Bone), and Anna Banks (Of Poseidon).
