Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

This week’s can’t wait to read selection is
Of Poseidon by Anna Banks.
Publication Date: May 22nd 2012
Of Poseidon - Feiwel & Friends



Galen is the prince of the Syrena, sent to land to find a girl he’s heard can communicate with fish. Emma is on vacation at the beach. When she runs into Galen—literally, ouch!—both teens sense a connection. But it will take several encounters, including a deadly one with a shark, for Galen to be convinced of Emma’s gifts. Now, if he can only convince Emma that she holds the key to his kingdom . . .
Synopsis by goodreads.com

Mermaid stories are cropping up a lot right now (and I'm not complaining, because I really enjoy them). So why wait for this one? For one: the Synopsis! It sounds really intriguing. This time it's the man coming on land, so there's an inverted role allocation, which I find quite refreshing. Action and suspension also seem to get their fair share in this novel with shark encounters and all. Secondly: look at that cover! Need I say more?

What are you waiting on this week? Leave us a comment.

I have this one for review and can't wait to read it. I have had my eye on it for a very long time. I hope that we both love it when we finally get to read it.
