My friend and author, Laura Matthias Bendoly, has a new release that you will want to check out!
LAERKA
Laerka Summary:
Laerka is a Southern Gothic thriller featuring
Stella, the sixteen year old daughter of an out -of-work Savannah fisherman and
Laerka, a mysterious Danish girl who leaps off a container ship into the
Savannah River. Stella appoints herself as Laerka's rescuer. Both Laerka and her
sister Aleksandra have been kidnapped by a Russian trafficker and forced to
work in the off-highway strip trade. Together with a band of teenage skater
punks, Stella busts the gang of traffickers, but not before discovering that
both he and Laerka have a secret supernatural skill -- she, to morph into the
Rusalka mermaid and he into the Vodyanoy water dragon.
