-This book intrigues me based on the cover alone!
Lexi is cursed with a dark secret. The water calls to her, draws her in, forces her to sing her deadly song to unsuspecting victims. If she succumbs, she kills. If she doesn’t, the pain is unbearable. To keep herself and those she cares about safe, she shuts herself off, refusing to make friends or fall in love—again. Because the last time she fell in love with a boy, he ended up dead.
Then Lexi meets Cole. Against her better judgment, she finds herself opening up again, falling in love when she knows she shouldn’t. But when she’s offered the chance to finally live a normal life, she learns that the price she must pay to be free of her curse is giving him up.
In Ripple, Mandy Hubbard spins a sea-ravaged tale of melancholy beauty, and the choices one girl makes between land and waves, love and freedom, her future—and her heart.
I am also waiting on this book to come out ^_^. I love mermaid/siren stories and its just great that a bunch of them are coming out this year.
ReplyDeleteHi Alison, I've seen this book in quite a few post over the last couple of weeks and I must admit it does look very interesting! And I agree with you on the cover! Sonette @ Bookworm Blog
ReplyDeleteI love the dress the model is wearing on the cover. I want it!
ReplyDeleteInteresting WOW. I haven't read a book about a siren before. Her situation sounds like the book i just read with a Black Widow in it who kills the men she loves because of a curse. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW is a little different.

Truly Bookish
I've never heard of this one but the author sounds very familiar... but I can't think where I've heard about her. Will look her up on Goodreads now.
ReplyDeleteI really can't wait for Ripple as well! I've really enjoyed Mandy Hubbard's previous novels so for sure, I'll be liking this one too! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pick !! This cover is so cute !! Can't wait ;)
ReplyDeleteI like that line: a sea-ravaged tale of melancholy beauty...nice! Definitely sounds like an interesting tale. The cover is different, too. I saw this on Goodreads, but didn't know what it was about. Never read any of the author's previous books. But I might try this one!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of this one! I really like the way the cover models are positioned here. I'm a little reluctant about the actual book though. I didn't love her other book You Wish
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the sound of this one! The cover is beautiful, too, and the premise just captures me. Nice pick :)
ReplyDeleteI really like the premise of this one - sounds like the protagonist is put in a pretty difficult situation!
