An amazing sequel to the first book. So much character development and growth in every last character. I love that Alien figures out what women are really for, just for her own sake and I love that her and Hunter are trying whatever they are because it's beautiful. I love the love.

Canosa goes over the finer details of being a siren. Every siren needs to eat. It's important to know how to hunt. During this teaching session Ailen hopes that their connection is more family related than student-teacher related.
With death at her heels, thoughts of death and suicide are left far behind. While she wished for her own death not even 24-hours ago, she couldn't stand the thought of her nemesis doing it for her.
The story gets better in this second installment of the Siren Suicides. There is more action-packed scenes. The reader learns more about sirens and the world of siren hunters.

This is the second book in the Siren Suicides series by [a:Ksenia Anske|7111759|Ksenia Anske|https://d2arxad8u2l0g7.cloudfront.net/authors/1447565915p2/7111759.jpg]. The first book I read with low expectations (it my first exposure to this author) and was amazed. This book I approached with higher expectations and was not disappointed.
I am realizing that this book series, because it centers around a 16 year old female protagonist, could be labeled as "YA" (Young Adult). She is dealing with her past life experiences from which boil up an ever increasing and varied set of emotions as she explores her relationship with a father who never appeared to love her and a boy friend who has taken on a role of opposing predator. This label is irrelevant to the enjoyment of this novel. The book is well plotted and the pace is consistent beginning to end. The prose, phrasing, and metaphors are enjoyable. The geography will be immediately familiar to anyone from the Seattle area (I had to resort to Google Maps and Earth).
The end of this novel, unlike the first one, does immediately setup the third and final novel in the series. The author learns quickly and I'm expecting each book to be better than the previous one.
It is unfortunate that Ailen missed the Siren Suicides concert despite the face that Hunter had gotten two tickets for them.
I wonder how much of the water immediately around the Seattle area is fresh-to-brackish-to-salty and how that affects the siren's gills. Typically fish are bred for fresh or salt water; salmon are an exception to this.
I did find two typos in the Kindle edition of this book which I reported to Amazon. Unlike most self-published books, this one is well edited.
I'm looking forward to reading the third book in the series.
