Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly; Waiting on Wednesday & A Giveaway!

Summer weather is upon us, and I'm having major beach withdrawals right now. I'm thinking that once I dive into Jennifer Donnelly's DEEP BLUE my withdrawals will be satisfied. Check out that cover. Seriously, I am loving this cover. 


Today I'm thrilled to be able to feature this refreshing under the sea book here on Mundie Moms. Check out what DEEP BLUE is about and then enter to win 1 of 2 copies I'm giving away this week!


ABOUT THE BOOK
The first in a series of epic tales set in the depths of the ocean, where six mermaids seek to protect and save their hidden world.

Deep in the ocean, in a world not so different from our own, live the merpeople. Their communities are spread throughout the oceans, seas, and freshwaters all over the globe.

When Serafina, a mermaid of the Mediterranean Sea, awakens on the morning of her betrothal, her biggest worry should be winning the love of handsome Prince Mahdi. And yet Sera finds herself haunted by strange dreams that foretell the return of an ancient evil. Her dark premonitions are confirmed when an assassin’s arrow poisons Sera's mother.

Now, Serafina must embark on a quest to find the assassin’s master and prevent a war between the Mer nations. Led only by her shadowy dreams, Sera searches for five other mermaid heroines who are scattered across the six seas. Together, they will form an unbreakable bond of sisterhood and uncover a conspiracy that threatens their world’s very existence.
