Yesterday I mentioned that I found Jim C. Hines‘s The Stepsister Scheme and I was going through and adding it to my TBR list when I noticed that it was a part of a series. I was curious enough, so I went looking to see what other novels were included in this Princess Novels series. Guess what, The Stepsister Scheme is the first novel and the second one, The Mermaid’s Madness, comes out October 6, 2009 and sounds just as amazing, if not more so, than the first novel. Check it out:
There is an old story — you might have heard it — about a young mermaid, the daughter of a king, who saved the life of a human prince and fell in love.
So innocent was her love, so pure her devotion, that she would pay any price for the chance to be with her prince. She gave up her voice, her family, and the sea, and became human. But the prince had fallen in love with another woman.
The tales say the little mermaid sacrificed her own life so that her beloved prince could find happiness with his bride.
The tales lie.
There are also two more books planned for this series – Red Hoods Revenge (2010) and Secret of the Snow Queen (2011). I’ll be keeping my eye on this, that’s for sure.
The StatesmanJournal.com has an interesting article on Devon Monk today. Within it, we find that the fourth Allie Beckstrom novel, which she’s wrapping up now, will be out sometime in May 2010. Plus the fifth and sixth novels will be following in November 2010 and May 2011.
Anya Bast has posted the excerpt for Witch Fury. Being the last novel in her Elemental Witches series, I’ll be sad when it releases on June 2nd, but excited to read it.
