I'm so excited to share this with you all. I'll be reading and reviewing Salted soon and it's already in the Top 50 of Amazon's Hot New Releases for Urban Fantasy!
Goodreads SummaryLife isn’t better under the sea.
Lenny Dolan is all too familiar with this reality. A Selkie slave in the realm beneath the waves, he has no choice when charged with leading a crew ashore to capture an elusive runaway. If unsuccessful, the loved ones kept behind will pay for his failure with their lives.
But when their target leads Lenny and his crew to deeper, darker secrets, the Selkies are faced with a moral dilemma. Secure their own freedom at the expense of others, or return empty-handed to face the grisly consequences?
How Lenny and his crew answer the question will teach them the harshest truth of all. Only through the loss of innocence does one become Salted.
Early Praise:
It's always hard to find a unique novel on mermaids. I've seen a spin or two from time to time, but nothing really original, and certainly nothing I'd really describe as 'cool'. That was until I got the chance to read Salted.

I totally bought into the Salted world Galvin created. Not an easy read but a unique one, I would recommend Salted by Aaron Galvin for people who are looking for something beyond the typical mermaid and selkie tales.
- Cherie Reich, author of The Foxwick Chronicles
Salted was an intriguing read that kept me hooked. It is a different spin on the underwater world and creatures, which I found brought quite a bit of originality to the genre.

It is SUPER interesting, Jennifer. Not that I'm biased or anything. Hope you enjoy the read. :)
ReplyDeleteI had to look up Selkie. I thought I remembered a Charmed episode about a Selkie, but there were no seals! I love the title, really that's so good and the premise has its claws in me. I hope you love it and I can't wait for your review.
ReplyDeleteYay, Robyn! Thanks so much for the compliments. I'm excited you looked up what a Selkie was! You're not alone. Many people I've spoken with didn't know either. They're fascinating creatures! So glad you liked the title and the premise. Hope you're able score a copy and enjoy the read! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, selkies. And I'm guessing they aren't the fun loving kind. :) Thank you for sharing. Sounds very good. And I love sea settings.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read and see what this unique underwater world is all about :D
ReplyDeleteIt seems I remember a Mythical Monday you had on the topic, if not maybe Aaron can do one for you. Definitely don't sound fun-loving to me. I look forward to reading it. Thank you so much for stopping by :D
ReplyDeleteThank you for the compliment, Melissa. You're also correct. These Selkies are definitely not fun loving. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome to here. :) I like when creatures are not always the fun loving types. ;)
ReplyDeleteJaclyn, I did have one Mythical Monday with a selkie. That is always a possiblity. I've opened up for posts starting June 2nd. :)
ReplyDeleteHi again, Melissa. I'd love to write a guest post for you about Selkies and just sent you a private email about it. Thanks! :)
ReplyDeleteSelkies?? Yay! I can't wait to see what you think of this, Jaclyn. I'm certainly curious. It sounds great! Thanks for sharing this - I hadn't heard of it yet! :)
