Blog Tour: Of Neptune by Anna Banks (10 Things You Didn’t Know About Toraf) + Giveaway

This might be a little known fact but I actually love mermaid books. Problem is, I had a hard time finding good ones. At least, until Of Poseidon came along. I’ve read (and reviewed) it more than a year ago, have just finished Of Triton last night – seriously – and can’t believe The Syrena Legacy is ending already. But lets not wallow in sadness because today, Anna Banks have provided me a list of 10 fun facts about Toraf (swoon, I’ve also added my comments on the list in italics) and there’s also a giveaway at the end of this. Enjoy! ;)

Emma and Galen’s kingdom and their love is threatened by long-lost Syrena in the brilliant conclusion to Anna Banks bestselling trilogy.

Emma, half human and half Syrena, and her Syrena love, Galen, need time together alone. Away from the kingdoms of Poseidon and Triton. Emma’s grandfather, the Poseidon king, suggests the two visit a small town called Neptune.

Neptune is home to both Syrena and Half-Breeds alike. But Emma and Galen didn’t sign up to be peacemakers between the ocean and the land-dwelling, freshwater Syrena. They didn’t bargain for meeting a charming Half-Breed named Reed, who can barely disguise his feelings for Emma. And they especially didn’t expect to find themselves in the middle of a power struggle that threatens not only their love but their ocean kingdoms.

In this stunning conclusion to her bestselling Syrena Legacy, Anna Banks thrills fans with more action and romance than ever.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Toraf:

1)   He sleeps naked when on land because human pajamas “make me itchy”. (Now don’t we all suddenly wish for a midnight emergency as an excuse to barge into Toraf’s room… Wink, wink.)

2)   He doesn’t like getting his nails painted, although he would never admit as much to Rayna.

3)   His sensing abilities sometimes overwhelm him. Coming ashore helps give him a feeling of solitude.

4)   He might actually have been Reed’s best friend, if he hadn’t met Galen first.

5)   He’s pretty sure his “eel” is bigger than Galen’s. (Syrena or human, boys will still be boys it seems.)

6)   He thinks Emma kisses like a manatee. (Ouch, let me go find a band-aid for Emma.)

7)   He’s secretly hurt that Galen and Rayna thought he would betray them. (Now don’t we all want to give him a big hug?)

8)   He once beat someone senseless with a squid tentacle—and that is not a metaphor.

9)   He likes to watch cartoons rather than TV with human actors. (This came as a surprise.)

10) His favorite human food is…wait for it…S’mores. (It’s the only thing Rayna knows how to cook).
