Siren Says

By Jennifer Herrera

"Siren Says is-literally-gripping from the first page. It reaches out and grabs you by the throat, and you realize it isn't going to let go. It's mysterious, beautiful, and enchanting in the true and sinister sense of the word. You have been warned " --Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Outlander

A lush, spellbinding tale about a tenacious young woman who must harness her family's dangerous magic to put a stop to the sacrifices they've been making for more than a century

Twenty-five-year-old Raven Wynn knows that the ancient plant magic running through her veins brings nothing but destruction. It doomed her Welsh ancestors. It killed her mother. It's the reason she's now bound by a painful curse--one that will destroy her if she can't find a way to break its hold.

When her estranged Aunt Delilah bursts into her life promising a cure, Raven seizes the chance. However, her freedom comes at a steep price: Once her magic is fully unleashed, she is more powerful--and more dangerous--than anyone thought possible.

Desperate to tame powers she never wanted, Raven makes a pact with Delilah: In exchange for learning to control her magic, Raven will capture one of the spirits that roam Delilah's hometown on May's Eve so that it may grant Delilah's secret wish. With the help of an enigmatic new friend, Cherry, as well as an infuriatingly handsome stoneworker, Idris, Raven learns that her task is even more perilous than she imagined--one false move and the spirits could trap her soul--forever.

A sumptuous escape into a world of Celtic spirits and botanical magic, Siren Says is a bewitching story of the unbreakable bonds between women, the interplay between goodness and power, and the capacity of love to mend our very souls.

Beautifully written

I really truly enjoyed this book. I’ve been in a reading slump and have been pushing through. I’m so thankful that I have. This and my previous read have been reminding me of my love of reading. I have never had such a quotable book before. So many strong and poignant quotes that I want to keep with me forever. Things like “never be ashamed of what you have to do to survive. Not ever” and “Never underestimate the lengths men will got to in order to limit a woman’s power” and my favorite “There’s no such thing as clean hands when it comes to a woman accessing power. Men have made sure of this”. I really enjoyed such an intelligent story about an adult woman coming into her own, even if that world involved fantastical world of magic and spirits. You understand our FMCs search for more, and of learning herself. My only wish would be that the epilogue 2as a bit more and we knew about our secondary characters a bit more. You come to care about them so much. It’s also one of the few times I really wanted more… and would entertain hope for more stories in this world or about this character. Do yourself a favor and read about Raven and her search to become all she can with the magic she was born with. How she finds a lost family member and learns who they are and herself and find the one that touches her heart with all the perks and dangers that creates. First time reading this author but now following to read more.
