Today I have the great pleasure of teasing you all with a taste of Andrea Colt's fabulous novel, Wavecrossed!
If you haven't heard of it, here's a little bit more about the book:
To Cassandra Kelleher, trust is a dirty word.
A teenage selkie who grew up on land, all she wants is to free her family from the man who stole their sealskins long ago. With her twin brother Brennan losing hope and her window of opportunity disappearing like the beach at high tide, she’ll try anything.
Before long, however, Cassandra can’t tell whether her biggest threat is the man holding her family captive, a classmate who’s discovered her secret, or her own paranoia. Battling broken friendships and alarming romantic entanglements, Cassandra finds that trust could be the key to winning her family’s freedom … or losing her own.

From
Chapter 11, in which Cassandra is
on a mission:
He brushed a lock of hair from my
face. “You know, you never told me your name.”
I hesitated. “Anna.”
Paul cocked his head. “Is that
really your name?”
“Um.” Caught off guard, I knew by
Paul’s frown that my expression had given me away. I needed to get my head back
to my real mission; Paul was way too sharp. “No,” I admitted.
On my back, his hands tensed.
“Tell me your real name.”
Thinking fast, I tossed my hair
flirtatiously.
“I’ll tell you later. If you
impress me.”
“I have to earn your name?” Paul raised
a brow, but thankfully seemed to relax. “What do I have to do?”
“You’ll think of something.” I
was about to suggest finding a room to ourselves when Paul tilted his head down
with a sudden quick grin.
“What about this?” He pressed his
mouth to mine.
Want to know what Cassandra’s mission was, and if it worked? Read Wavecrossed, out now.
