Anthesis is the debut novel by Lauren Elizabeth and what a great debut novel is was!
This follows our FMC Aglasia, an immortal siren trying to live a normal, human life in the modern world. Everything is going well until another siren, Rossa, chaotically enters her life and needs her help transforming a man into a siren. There are several risks of doing this and Aglasia has to decide what she is willing to lose while helping Rossa.
I was pleasantly surprised by how strong the plot and writing were of Athesis, especially since it's a debut novel. I thought all the characters brought something to the story, the world-building was easy to digest and the events all helped the story flow nicely.
The relationship between Hunter and Aglasia was def a slow burn, and I wish we got to see a bit more of their intimate relationship. Since this book does end on a cliffhanger, I'm hoping we'll see more of them together in the next book! Overall I would recommend it if you like siren stories and are looking for a quick fantasy read with some exceptional banter.
