I enjoyed The Siren's Song but didn't feel like I got to know Lena and Elias as well as I would have liked given that this one is a novella. We also didn't get to see them bonding very much so their relationship ended up feeling a little rushed to me. I would have loved to see this one as a full length book so we could have gotten more details about sirens, seen more of Elias and Lena's individual history and seen them bond more on page. I did really enjoy this story's version of the siren. Lots of other creatures have weaknesses but sirens often don't. I thought it was an interesting idea to have rejection be their weakness. Overall, this one is fun if you want a quick story with an interesting take on sirens and some romance.

Thanks to Netgalley and Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for providing me with an arc of this one to do my review. All opinions are my own.

✨ARC Review✨

Katelyn does it again with another great book from the Demons Among Us series. I loved this book just like the first one!

Elias is nothing like his cousin. While Niko is more of a playboy leading women on with his voice. Elias enjoys singing occasionally and lightly flirting. If things were to move further than that. He lets them know right away that there will be no strings.

The sea has always been his first and only love. Drawn to the water and swimming with the dolphins. He enjoys working for his family’s business and lifting the spirits of others.

Lena after the loss of her grandmother while finalizing her divorce. She finds herself back at Hilton Head Island. Where it’s always felt like home.

“Gods, I loved Hilton Head. So peaceful. So magical. So me.”

Trying to figure out what to do with her life now from the broken promises, losing her faith in men, and wanting to feel needed, and that she belongs.

Will she be able to resist the siren’s song? Can she move on from the past and plan her future?

“There’s nothing for me without you.”

Thanks, Katelyn Brehm for allowing me to be part of your ARC team again. I’ve enjoyed it so much and can’t wait to check out more from you! As always, my review is my opinion and thoughts.

The Siren’s Song filled me up with joy and peacefulness. It tells us about how to find happiness after a difficult time. 

Lena Sommer lost her grandmother who meant everything to her, she’s full of sadness and grief when she meets a handsome stranger Elias Georgiou, who soon changes everything.

I had the most wonderful and magical time while reading this lovely and beautiful story. I’ll definitely read the previous book in the Demons Among Us standalone series. 

Highly recommend this novella to everyone!

The Siren's Song is a standalone novella taking place in the Demons Among Us universe, though there is no overlap in setting or characters with The Art Collector. But once again we have a setting that is very well-realized in the writing and important to the story, and two main characters who are mature but at turning points in their lives deciding to challenge their status quo to try to build something better together. The Siren's Song is well-crafted novella that is nearly impossible not to binge in a single sitting.
I found Lena and Elias to be endearing and personable characters, believable in their separate challenges and easy to root for in their relationship with one another. The amount of character building and growth that was fit into these few pages is honestly impressive. There's a lot of heart in these two characters and the writing made me feel for them in their various challenges throughout the story. Seeing them develop throughout the story and find ways to brighten one another's futures was very satisfying.
