IndieReader Approved with 4.8 of 5 stars: "MERMAID OF VENICE is an electrifying series starter that immerses readers in a world filled with glamor, sex, murder, and mermaids."
Dive into the extremely glamorous life of Gia Acquaviva, an ultra-rich Venetian mogul with a portfolio of clubs and casinos around the globe. Gia harbors dark secrets––and an underwater graveyard filled with the bones of her former lovers.
Her family's roots descend from the mythological sirens of ancient Greece, but she's taken every precaution to protect her anonymity and the existence of other mermaids. Gia lures in men with a beguiling façade, but inside lurks a deeply troubled soul, severely damaged by a mysterious past.
Despite her sinister desires, she longs for true intimacy and believes she may have found her match in Cameron Langley, a successful London-based banker and dead ringer for Chris Hemsworth. He offers Gia her first real opportunity for lasting love. They share an intensely passionate, deeply sensual connection… but is her growing affection for new lover enough to lull the murderous cravings she feels building within?
Fans of Killing Eve and Big Little Lies will love Mermaid of Venice, a sexy psychological thriller with lush fantasy elements. The setting is modern day Europe with all the chic locales, hot spots and vistas of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley and a juicy splash of the lavish lifestyle in E. L. James's 50 Shades series. This is not the Little Mermaid you grew up with. Gia's out for blood.
Mermaid of Venice is the first installment in a series of 6 books about Gia Acquaviva.
Critical Reviews:
"The Mermaid of Venice is exactly the kind of book we all need right now––quick paced, escapist and sexy. With a female lead that feels both chic and magical, we can't help but feel magnetized to this predatory global citizen, even if we are also a little afraid of her as we turn each page. Unable to put down this book, I have every confidence that Gia Acquaviva is going to become the topic of every book club conversation this year."
––Sarah Forbes, author of Sex in the Museum: My Unlikely Career at New York's Most Provocative Museum
"First page is genius."
––Michael Gross, author of the classic New York Times Bestseller, Model: The Ugly Business of Beautiful Women
"The gorgeous prose of Laini Taylor meets the unapologetic darkness of Gillian Flynn in this grim, above and below the sea thriller. From the glitz and glam of Venice nightlife through to the mermaid empire at the bottom of the sea, Lumpkin grounds the reader in a fantastical world full of intrigue. A sexy thriller to the very last delicious page."
––Melissa Chambers, author of Seaside Sweets
"I read Mermaid of Venice in the lapse of eight nights. Not because it takes that that long to read the book, but because the more you read, the more you'll want to go back and run through the lines that Jincey Lumpkin has written like notes in a musical piece. The novel is rich with fantasy and the use of language is superb. It offers an imaginary tour of a wondrous world, both above and below the water, guided by the peculiar Signorina Acquaviva. Ms. Lumpkin's unique sense of observation and interpretation, as well as her remarkable skill as a writer, become evident in the way she is able to render, with equal mastery, a profound human feeling, the texture of the skin on an imaginary creature, and the smell of the sea traveling through a Venetian canal or many miles below the surface."
––Martha Ruiz-Perilla, artist and touring storyteller with The Moth
