Waiting on Wednesday (48)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we seriously can’t wait for.

 Here's my pick for the week, that I seriously can't wait for:

Fathomless

by Jackson Pearce

Publication Date: September 13, 2013

-------------------------------------------------

Celia Reynolds is the youngest in a set of triplets and the one with the least valuable power. Anne can see the future, and Jane can see the present, but all Celia can see is the past. And the past seems so insignificant -- until Celia meets Lo. 

Lo doesn't know who she is. Or who she was. Once a human, she is now almost entirely a creature of the sea -- a nymph, an ocean girl, a mermaid -- all terms too pretty for the soulless monster she knows she's becoming. Lo clings to shreds of her former self, fighting to remember her past, even as she's tempted to embrace her dark immortality. 

When a handsome boy named Jude falls off a pier and into the ocean, Celia and Lo work together to rescue him from the waves. The two form a friendship, but soon they find themselves competing for Jude's affection. Lo wants more than that, though. According to the ocean girls, there's only one way for Lo to earn back her humanity. She must persuade a mortal to love her . . . and steal his soul.

If you love fairy tale retellings and you haven't read any of Jackson Pearce's books then you are missing out!  Seriously, Fathomless is an awesome re-imagining of The Little Mermaid in true Jackson Pearce fashion: edgy, romantic, and intense!  I'm so excited to get this in my grubby paws!  The only disappointing thing is that it won't match the amazing covers of Sisters Red and Sweetly.  But that seems to be the only disappointment coming.
