Celia Graves survived becoming an Abomination. She continues to work as a bodyguard in the same town where she was attacked. The vampire attack awakened a part of Celia that she knew nothing about - she's part Siren. Summoned to the Sirens' island for reasons unknown, Celia must fight off many enemies if she wants to find out about her heritage.
I thoroughly enjoyed book one in this series, BLOOD SONG, and book two is no different. Just when you think you have Cat Adams' world figured out, they throw more surprises at you. It seems Sirens have more than the average power. They're not only able to seduce men and alienate women, but they also have several surprises up their sleeves.
The author has created a paranormal fantasy world that leaves the reader wanting more. Interesting characters, wonderful world-building, and a mythology that gets more interesting with every character they throw into the mix. Many authors try to pull the reader in from the beginning of the story - Cat Adams succeeds.
Fast-paced, twists and turns, excitement galore, SIREN SONG does not disappoint. With this second book, I am even more sure that this will be one of the best series that I will read this year. You never know what is going to happen, but you definitely know that whatever it is it will be exciting and hard to put down.

This one picks up right where book one ended. The action doesn't stop in this one. I liked this one a little better as Celia had a few positives (okay, not many) to go with all the bad stuff. She learns more about herself and plot threads are resolved, others not
I am ashamed to admit.I had this book for a few months before I read it. It was really good. We find out more about Siren heritage. We lose a friend and make a few new ones.I couldn't put it down.
Celia discovers she has siren genes that are brought out by her vampire traits. She's human, siren, vampire, bodyguard and all Bad Ass. She could be a heartless killer, but she has too much compassion.
The authors have created a great world full of humans, vampires, sirens, werewolves, demons and mages. Love the series.

Siren Song by Cat Adams
* I received a copy of this book from Tor Publishing in exchange for an honest review*
Siren Song picks up right where Blood Song ends. Celia is still trying to come to grips with being an abomination. She still has to face her court date and the Queen of the Sirens; she doesnt have time to be kidnapped.
While at Birwoods she is visited by her Siren cousin Ren, who presents her with a gift of a Wadjeti. She doesnt know what to make of the visit but is concerned about what will happen when she finally gets to the island. She isnt looking forward t meeting her grandmother, Queen Lopaka.
She deals with her hearing and the police that are not happy that she is being set free, to deal with Bruno and his devastating news. She is heart broken by what he tells her but she has more pressing issues that dont allow her to wallow in self pity. She is a strong character and relies on that strength to help her get over him.
She has to enlist her friends to help her get to the Siren Island. A fellow bodyguard from a rival agency shows up and wants to help her. She is very reluctant to accept his help, she is afraid he is up to something. She has been through so much; its really hard for her to trust anyone that hasnt been part of her circle. She knows that she needs the help, especially with the Demon still after her but she still hesitates.
She has had to endure so much, from being turned into an abomination, assassination attempts, not to mention a demon that wants her for his self. The scariest thing she has to face is family that she has never met before. She knows nothing about her heritage or the customs that go with it and that scares her to death. She would rather be fighting something she can see rather than deal with this.
She immediately likes her grandmother and presents her with one of her prized knives. She respects her cousin Adriana after their duel plus she saves her life while she is there. She also discovers the person responsible for what happened to her sister all those years ago. She is shocked to the core with this discovery and cant believe that someone would actually do something that heinous to children.
The cast of supporting characters are present in this book too but this time, they are forced to do something that will change her relationship with them forever. The list of people she can trust is getting shorter and shorter. Along the way though, she adds some new friends to her group.
I enjoyed this book as much as the first one and cant wait for the next installment in this series. The story is entertaining and held my interest throughout the whole book. There is the right amount description without over doing. The characters are compelling and make you want to know more about them. I am hoping after the ending, well see more of Bruno in the next book.
Overall, I loved Siren Song and definitely recommend this series. I give it 4 Flaming Hearts.

This books picks up the action thaended in book one. Celia has discovered that in addition to being part vampire she is also part siren. Lots of action, perhaps a new love interest and more details about Celia's life. This is an excellent series and I look forward to reading the next book. 4.5 stars
