Author: Ellie Pond

Title: Wicked Water

\\xa0

There\\u2019s a lot of fish in the sea . . .\\xa0

\\xa0

As crown princess of Skyrothasia, a mermaid kingdom hidden from humans and shifters, I know I\\u2019ve had it good. But I\\u2019m not ready to start my own royal pod like my loving mother and three fathers want. There\\u2019s a whole world out there I\\u2019ve never seen and so much I want to experience before I become Queen Melody.\\xa0

\\xa0

When danger arises and I\\u2019m sent away with Harrison\\u2014my BFF\\u2019s cousin and the merman everyone, including me, thinks will be my first pod mate\\u2014I finally get my chance at freedom.

\\xa0

Except the real world isn\\u2019t the way it looks in books and movies. And finding my mates is a lot more complicated than I expected.

\\xa0

She\\u2019s the siren I want . . .

I\\u2019ve wanted to be part of Melody\\u2019s pod since I was old enough to think about her as more than my cousin\\u2019s best friend.\\xa0

\\xa0

Now we\\u2019re racing towards Boston with assailants on our tails and a pushy dragon hired by her parental pod as body guard. I\\u2019m hoping my best friends, a wolf shifter and another merman, can help us out.\\xa0\\xa0

\\xa0

Or will they distract Melody from choosing me?

\\xa0

Wicked Water is a reverse harem, \\u2018why choose\\u2019 book in which the heroine gets to have all of her guys. It has explicit content and language, a cliffhanger, and no cheating. This four-book series takes place in the Dark Wing world with a HEA.\\xa0

--Abigail\'s Targeted Tip:

Consider sticking to one POV for reverse harem romance. Your female MC is flipping gender norms, and your copy could reflect that.\\xa0
