Ward's Siren by Stephanie Hudson
4.0
Something seems very 'familiar' about this book...
I decided to read one of the latest books by Stephanie Hudson after loving her first two books of the AFTERLIFE saga. I didn't finish that series due to the repetitive nature of the books. This author seems to have a habit of repeating the same information over and over throughout her books ad nauseum. This is something that I feel is unnecessary if you are writing connecting books. Mentions are OK but to write it over and over again... ugh!
But, enough about AFTERLIFE... this review is about WARD'S SIREN.
In this book, we meet Eden, a woman who has constantly been dealt a bad hand in life. After losing her mother, she tries to connect to what little family she has and gets in a shitload of trouble thanks to her stepbrother. She ends up on the run, looking for her wayward brother to get the money back he owes her to pay the debt. She meets a handsome stranger who helps her out as her car breaks down on the road. She's intrigued, but he comes off as a bit of an asshole. Yet, she feels an attraction. As luck would have it, she meets the stranger again. Where does she meet this stranger again, you ask?
Well, none other than Club AFTERLIFE. And who is this stranger there to meet? None other than Dominic Draven! Here we go again!
While reading this book, I found so many similarities to AFTERLIFE. Keira and Eden are both 5 feet tall, average looking, and aren't the snazziest of dressers. The events that circle around the couple are even similar, even down to Ward blushing and Eden teasing him about it. (Remember Keira teasing Dom?) The timeline of this book runs parallel to that of Afterlife, as Dom has yet to meet Keira in this story. The difference of the two is that Ward is quite hilarious and not a brood-ish and mean as Draven is, and Eden is more confidant and stronger than Keira. And there is a subtle BDSM dynamic between the two which gives the romance more of an adult-take than that of Dom and Keira's relationship that oftentimes appeared to be a little too "Daddy/little" for my taste. But the best part of this crossover was that I got to see my baby, Vincent again, who happens to be good buddies with Ward.
This ended in a cliffhanger. A very good one so I will be advancing on to the next book. If you liked AFTERLIFE and want a little bit of the same, this book will definitely satisfy you.
Happy reading!
