TEMPEST RISING by Tracy Deebs
Releases May 10, 2011
Genre: Young Adult
Tempest Maguire wants nothing more than to surf the killer waves near her California home; continue her steady relationship with her boyfriend, Mark; and take care of her brothers and surfer dad. But Tempest is half mermaid, and as her seventeenth birthday approaches, she will have to decide whether to remain on land or give herself to the ocean like her mother. The pull of the water becomes as insistent as her attraction to Kai, a gorgeous surfer whose uncanny abilities hint at an otherworldly identity as well. And when Tempest does finally give in to the water's temptation and enters a fantastical underwater world, she finds that a larger destiny awaits her—and that the entire ocean's future hangs in the balance.
I love mermaids. This declaration dates back to the THE LITTLE MERMAID days. My mom loves to tell the story of how I would sing all the Disney LITTLE MERMAID songs....as though I was under water. Yes folks, I was obsessed. Needless to say I'm still lovin' mermaids but I absolutely refuse to sing anything as though I'm underwater despite my mother's begging. :)

This looks awesome! Can't wait to read this book!
Loved the cover but laughed at your comment over singing the Little Mermaid songs. I used to love belting out Under The Sea :)
