Monstrous Beauty
Elizabeth Fama
Fiction F2101m
When fierce
mermaid Syrenka falls in love with a human named Ezra, she abandons her
life underwater for a chance at happiness on land. The choice comes with
horrific and deadly consequences.
Generations later, seventeen-year-old Hester knows that love and death are inextricably linked for the women in her family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect, or a curse? Hester's solution is to avoid love altogether, until she meets and enigmatic stranger named Ezra and feels drawn to him in a way she can't explain or resist. Ezra may be able to help her tease apart the strands of her family's strange history: Ezra knows a thing or two about curses.
The answers Hester seeks are waiting in the graveyard, in the crypt, and at the bottom of the ocean - but powerful forces will do anything to keep her from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and the tragedy of so long ago.
