Deep Blue
by Jennifer Donnelly
Publication date: May 6th, 2014
From Goodreads:
The first in a series of four 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.

The fact that this book is so totally different intrigues me! Thanks for sharing! Here's mine - http://alisbooks.wordpress.com/2014/04/30/waiting-on-wednesday-8/
This series has been just floating around the blogosphere MY GOD. Literally EVERYWHERE I LOOK ;P May check it out then!
I have a confession to make, Jessica. I don't like mermaids very much. They and a lot of other fictional sea creatures seem to interest me a lot less than other ones. I . . . kinda want to read this one, though. It's getting a lot of attention right now, and I'm curious! Maybe the mermaids will surprise me. :)
