<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In alternating chapters, this story tells of the mermaid Syrenka's love for Ezra in 1872 that leads to a series of horrific murders, and present-day Hester's encounter with a ghost that reveals her connection to the murders and to Syrenka.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Fierce, seductive mermaid Syrenka falls in love with Ezra, a young naturalist. When she abandons her life underwater for a chance at happiness on land, she is unaware that this decision comes with horrific and deadly consequences. Almost 140 years later, seventeen-year-old Hester meets a mysterious stranger named Ezra and feels overwhelmingly, inexplicably drawn to him. For generations, love has resulted in death for the women in her family. Is it an undiagnosed genetic defect . . . or a curse? With Ezra's help, Hester investigates her family's strange, sad history. The answers she seeks are waiting in the graveyard, the crypt, and at the bottom of the ocean--but, in Elizabeth Fama's <i>Monstrous Beauty, </i>powerful forces will do anything to keep her from uncovering her connection to Syrenka and to the tragedy of so long ago.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fama does not shy away from the big issues: love, death, longing, lust, fear, and revenge all play out through her complex and multidimensional characters." --<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"<i>Monstrous Beauty</i> packs a serious, sexy wallop." --<i>Bookpage</i> <p/>"Fama delivers a beautifully written, romantic ghost story with an artful construction that incorporates a murder mystery and detailed historical fiction." --<i>BCCB</i> <p/>"History buffs, fantasy lovers, and mystery fans will all find something to please them in this engrossing story." --<i>School Library Journal</i> <p/>"Hhorror and humanity are adroitly handled." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i> <p/>"This stylish fantasy mesmerizes." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ELIZABETH FAMA is the author of "Overboard," an ALA Best Book for Young Adults, which appeared on five state lists.
