Thank you to NetGalley and Little, Brown for an advanced reader copy. This book was pure magic — I haven’t read a siren fantasy novel before and was not disappointed! This book had me hooked and I didn’t want to put it down. The writing was beautiful, the plot was interesting, and there were twists and turns. Imogen and Theo were well written characters and I just found myself wanting more. Torn between duty and desire is one of my guilty pleasure tropes! The last 10% of the book didn’t hold my interest as much as the first 90%, but I’m intrigued to see where the story goes in the sequel!
