benmsmith 's review for:

Siren Queen by Nghi Vo
4.0

Thanks to Tor and Netgalley for the ARC of this title.

I loved the weird blend of realism and fantasy Nghi Vo brought to their retelling of The Great Gatsby, [b:The Chosen and the Beautiful|55169019|The Chosen and the Beautiful|Nghi Vo|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1620400751l/55169019._SY75_.jpg|84447261], and Siren Queen is a fantastic follow-up that brings the same energy to old Hollywood. This is basically a good episode of You Must Remember This meets Hollywood Babylon's you-won't-believe-this (and shouldn't believe this) tell-all nature meets Actual Hollywood Magic. I couldn't put it down.
