Half Moon Bay

By Richelle Manteufel

Betray humanity and risk insanity to love a siren queen.

Cape Althea whispers of a wraith guarding the bay. Capricious weather and the glint of iron scales betray an ominous presence, but nothing more... until Laura Rivell sets sail.

Embarking on a revival cruise with her childhood friend, Laura is reborn into darkness instead of the promised light: A fate of ethereal dirges, kindred spirits, and a treacherous siren that the sheltered Miss Rivell cannot resist. Now Laura must decide whether to turn her back on religion, society, and humankind itself to love a monster-

And perhaps become a monster.

Seize the lure of Half Moon Bay, romantic Gothic fantasy for women influenced by Andersen's Little Mermaid meets Eggers' Nosferatu, crafted for souls that embrace the villain within.
