Book Review: Siren Song by Cat Adams.

Back cover of the book:

Bodyguard Celia Graves plies her trade in a world where vampires roam the alleys of Tinsel town, street-corner psychic have real powers, and cops use memory-enhancement spells.  Celia always thought she was an ordinary human, albeit one with a clairvoyant for a best friend and a ghost for a little sister. 

A recent vampire attack made Celia and abomination.  She finds sunlight painful and must take all her food in liquid form, but she still has her soul.  She’s slowly adjusting to her new “lifestyle” (therapy sessions and all) when she discovers that the attack awakened a hidden part of her heritage:  Celia is part Siren, able to enthrall men… and enrage women… without half-trying. 

Her best friend’s murder is still unsolved: the cops are convinced Celia should be in jail, if not staked; and her old lover, magician Bruno DeLuca, has something important to tell her.  To top it all off, Celia’s been summoned to the siren’s island for what might be a battle to the death—assuming she’s not killed before she even sets sail.

Celia Graves has more than one enemy.  Some of them want her blood.  Some of them want her soul.  All of them want her dead. 

Cat Adams is the same as C.T. Adams and Cathy Clamp.  This is my first time reading their work.  Siren Song is the second book of the series.  I hate to read books out of order but I had taken this one out of the Library.  So you guessed it.  Now I have to go back and read the first one, not that I’m complaining, to understand a lot of what was said in the second one.  I just love to delve deep into the books and really get a sense of the world and the characters. 

Siren song is really good.  There is a lot I didn’t understand about the world that Celia lives in, because I haven’t read the first one, but it was interesting. I like the character, but the whole book was done in her point of view.  There was a lot that could have been told about the world had the authors chosen to use an omnipresent view, however they did a beautiful job. 

The story was intense, full of surprises and revelations.   With each chapter I was beginning to wonder how it would end, why it was happening, and who was behind it all.  Those questions were answered only to have more questions come up for the next one.  There was some interesting secondary and third sub-characters that I would have liked to know better.  Now I am compelled to read the first one then maybe read this one again, then of course read the last one.  I just love a good series of book that continue the character and watch them grow.  This was a great read and a new notch on a favorite author.  I’m planning on reading the entire Sazi Series.
