"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
MY SALTY MARY (Mary #3)
BY CYNTHIA HAND & BRODI ASHTON & JODI MEADOWS
Goodreads Description:
Perfect for fans of The Princess Bride and A
Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, New York Times bestselling authors
Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows are back with a
fantastical, romantical, and piratical historical fantasy remix that
marries the story of The Little Mermaid with the life and times of
infamous lady pirate Mary Read.
Don't call this mermaid "little"—call her "captain," unless you want to walk the plank.
Mary
is in love with the so-called prince of Charles Town, except he doesn't
love her back. Which is inconvenient. Since she's a mermaid, being
brokenhearted means she'll—poof!—turn into sea-foam.
But instead,
Mary finds herself pulled out of the sea and up onto a pirate ship. To
survive, she joins them. But Mary isn't willing to just sing the
yo-ho-hos. She wants the pirate life, all of it, and she's ready to make
a splash . . . by becoming captain. But when Blackbeard dies suddenly,
Mary has a chance to become so much more: Pirate King . . . or Queen.
She won't let anyone stop her—not Blackbeard's cute son, not her best
friend from back under the sea who's having a bit too much fun with his
new legs, and certainly not everyone who says she can't be a pirate just
because she's a girl.
She may not be the best man for the job, but she'll definitely prove that she's worth her salt.
Format: 448 pages, Hardcover
