⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Stronger than the first book in the series, this is basically nonstop action. It‘s a fun, quick read, and if you like teen adventure stories, this is definitely one to check out!

This makes the books seem much darker than it is 😅

Already reading for Riverbend Books standing orders. This one is a #marchrso2024. #currentlyreading #fantasy #sirens #romance #quests #nautical Have managed to avoid many of the siren books, but I suspect this one is similar. Plus a #treefern #summerholidays #readingandreviewing #noschool

(2023) It's a YA fantasy about a siren finding her way in a walled city where sirens are outlawed. Saoirse uses her magical man-killing powers as a freelance assassin, but then gets a job as the prince's bodyguard. Which gets awkward when she has to investigate a murder she herself committed. And more awkward when she falls in love. It's a little too YA for me (The angst! The super special specialness! The luuurve!) but others have loved it.

Slow start with a nonstop ending. Saorise is the last siren in a world that views her negatively for all the killings her kind has done. This alone in a world where only fae control fate. Humans and every other species are inferior, servant. The politics of this world are invigorating. Great setup for the mystery ending. Hayes is a cinnamon roll. Didn‘t care for most other characters. Including wanting these two together. Ending felt last second.

I got a couple of YA adventures for #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin this month: a recent fantasy and a science fiction story so vintage that its blurb calls it "rip-snorting." (Um, whaddya say we don't revive that expression, yeah?)

Thanks for the early release, @TheAromaofBooks !

It took me a minute to get into the book but once I hit the second half I was hooked. The ending was gripping, satisfying and left me wanting the next book desperately. My favorite character was Prince Hayes❤️❤️❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ overall loved it and highly recommend.

It's a BEAUTIFUL day today! Happy Saturday, everyone! 🥰📚☀️🌿
