I LOVE urban fantasy, I love the world this was built in, I loved the characters, I love uncovering their stories, I loved the social commentary that broke my heart and made me cry, I loved this book. The more I got into it, the more I started to enjoy it. Feeling almost indifferent at the beginning, unsure what it would be all about.
I loved the ties to reality. The heartbreaking truth it touches on in this fantastical world. I think it was done in a beautiful way. I think this was a great book. I enjoyed the plot, the characters and the social commentary.
All sirens are black women but not all black women are sirens. What do you do when you're a siren not only trying to fight for equality for being a black woman but also trying to fight for you right to live as a siren. What do you do when a siren related case is on trail and the decision can effect your safety as a siren. And what do you do if all of this is happening at the same time that your sister is dealing with her own problems that you desperately want to help with.
This book is about being a black woman in the world, but it is wrapped up in a world of sirens, mermaids, gargoyles and other fantastical creatures. A Modern world with schools and police and prom. It's interesting, its engaging and it thought provoking. I really enjoyed it and would highly recommend it.
