Giveaway: The Lure of Shapinsay by Krista Holle


About the Book
Ever since Kait Swanney could remember, the old crones of the village have been warning her to stay away from the selkies. They claim that like sirens of old, the seal men creep from the inky waters, shed their skins, and entice women to their deaths beneath the North Sea. But avoiding an encounter becomes impossible when Kait is spotted at the water’s edge, moments after the murder of a half-selkie infant. 
Unexpectedly, Kait is awoken by a beautiful, naked selkie man seeking revenge. After she declares her innocence, the intruder darts into the night, but not before inadvertently bewitching her with an overpowering lure. 
Kait obsesses over a reunion deep beneath the bay and risks her own life to be reunited with her selkie. But when she lands the dangerous lover, the chaos that follows leaves Kait little time to wonder—is it love setting her on fire or has she simply been lured?

    I love the Irish Selkie lore. It's such a strange concept, but it is still fascinating and wonderful. Thanks for the giveaway! :D

    Finally a story with creatures out of the norm (vamps, weres, angels, demons). Always liked reading about selkies and kelpies but there is such few books about it! and their lore is so interesting!
    Thank you for the giveaway!

    I never heard selkies before, but the storyline sounds interesting. It is refreshing to see a book about a creature that has not been written about recently. This book would be a great read to add to my summer reading list!

    I think selkies are strange, but I've also watched a cartoon about it before and I thought the story was cute.

    Definitely sounds like a unique concept in the Ya genre.

    I have to be honest and say I know nothing about selkie lore. I can't wait to read it.

    I love selkies. There was the movie a few years ago about a selkie. I've loved the idea of them ever since.
