Siren's Song by
Michelle Manus
My rating:
4 of 5 stars
This is more than a romance story. Yes, there's attraction and it draws the two characters, Siren and Jace, together. But there's more to them than meets the eye, and we quickly find out about it.
Siren has been on the run since she was 16, and as much as she'd like a relationship...any relationship, she knows it's dangerous to have them. And she's seen first hand what could happen. But when she bumped into Jace at the cafe, they really hit it off. And the attraction.
But, what's chasing Siren makes an appearance and we see a hint of what Siren has been through and running from. We also see that Jace is more than a common guy she met at the cafe over coffee. Maybe he can help her, if she lets him and his family and friends do so.
I really loved the urban fantasy in this story. It's different and described well as Siren is learning about her Aspect. The romance is here, but it's not the complete story. We see the characters get to know each other deeper as they bond and Siren learns about a world she didn't know she was part of.
I will say, there's an event in the last 3rd of the book that pulled me from the flow. I didn't quiet understand what happened, maybe it's me as I read at night, but I didn't seem to follow the end of the book as easily as the first 2/3 of the book. It felt to be rushed to keep a limited page count.
That being said, it won't stop me from reading the remaining books in this series. I really love Michelle's writing and the stories she tells.
Action, drama, and love. A great combo!
