Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading.
This cover blows me away!! What am I saying? I am blown away (I know I am repeating myself) by this refreshing twist on the myths and legends of mermaids. I was only 7% in and felt like jumping up and down for joy. I am thinking this may be the best mermaid novel I have ever read. The story has drawn me in and I can hardly put it down long enough to write this post.
Be sure and go to the end of the post to check out the cover for Book II, Ocean’s Infiltrator. Another cover that makes me long to dive into that beautiful blue water. Plus, surprise! There is a book trailer.
I’ll be reviewing this book on February 19, 2014, so be sure and come back and I will tell you all about it..
My Teaser for Ocean’s Gift by Demelza Carlton
.
“…I feel she will succeed, despite our doubts. She understands humans better than any of our kind ever has, yet she is one of our elders. She will accomplish what none of us could. In her own way, she is the ocean’s gift to humans, ensuring their survival when their world will be irrevocable changed.”
(67% on Kindle).
But Sirena is different. She lost her first love to sharks and a storm, cursing the islands that stole him from her. Times have changed and she must swim ashore once more, to the islands she once cursed. Gone are the boats powered by sail and steam – jet boats with GPS are now the order of the day. Enter Joe, the deckhand on the Dolphin. A handy man to have around when the lights go out. He’ll fix your generator and have the lights back on in no time, no worries. But can he seduce a siren? Or will she swim away before he can uncover her secret? A book about lobsters, beer and boobs, on some cursed islands off the coast of Western Australia. At least, that’s how Joe tells it.
For Sirena, it’s a very different story.
Check out these gorgeous, breathtaking covers and feel free to paddle your way over to Amazon and pick up your copy of the Ocean Gift’s series by Demelza Carlton.

I should have known this was the book you were telling me about last night!
Mermaids and the sea plus environmental issues, how could this not have popped into my head. Especially as I just wrote my review. Can’t wait to read yours. I know it’ll be excellent.
That’s why I had to quit talking to you. I knew your review was coming out today and I was eager to see what you had to say. Great review, by the way. I am loving this so much!!! I am going to have to read the rest.
I like that it has lore and touches on environmental issues. I love your enthusiasm for the story and look forward to your review.
I love when authors can blend real life issues into a story and make it all come together. I don’t want to be preached at though, after all, I am reading a novel and want to be entertained. Demelza is doing that very nicely. ^_^
The cover gives off a real happy, sunshine vibe.
I know what you mean. I feel good when I look at it and can’t help but smile. ^_^
I love the cover and the tease. Best tease ever.
After your recommendation, how can resist? 🙂

Thanks Anna. I am loving this book so much!!
I am really looking for a good mermaid book but the last ones I have read were meh.
I feel the same way. That’s why I am so excited with this one. It’s different from other mermaid books I have read. The ending left me smiling and wanting so much more. I’m glad I don’t have to wait to read what happens with Vanessa (Sirena) and Joe. You might want to give this series a try, Jennifer. I will be reviewing it next Wednesday, so stop in and check it out.
