This is a well written story about Selma and her adventure to the US and how she handled big city life. After reading the first book in this series, Prophecy of Three, I enjoyed the trip back in time to get to know Selma. I have to say, I didn’t really like Selma at this point in her life. She acted as if she knew everything and had to learn some important lessons. Very interesting and enjoyable read.
Selma is a Siren from an Ancient & famous bloodline. They live quietly on the Spanish Island of Menorca. Selma craves ‘more’!! After staying with her family for far longer than she expected she finally decides that the call her heart feels to New York City in America can’t be put off any longer!!
With warnings to respect her magic and of the ‘Siren Song Madness’ from her Mother ringing in her ears, Selma sets off on her life’s new adventure! The pressure of the high cost of living, rent etc has her tapping into her siren magic to convince her landlord to offer her a great deal on an amazing apartment & on her new boss to double her salary!! Finding high earning employment is essential to her plan to start her own business but to still live well!!
On the night of a High Society Ball that Selma & some friends crash, she meets a man that becomes smitten with her – Her & her magic react in a huge way to him too!!! As time passes it’s clear something is really wrong with Selma, her magic is changing but more worrying is her personality is too, not that she can see it!!!
It was great to read Selma’s back story. We had a snippet of it in ‘Souls of Three: Book 2 The Starseed Trilogy’. It was a real teaser
*I find the concept of Siren’s, their power & what it does, very uncomfortable. I know it’s fictitious but I get ‘swept away’ when I read, I tend to avoid ‘Dark’ books because of this! So the Siren powers come across almost in a similar way as ‘date rape’ drugs to me. Obviously Selma didn’t act on the situation & it actually put her in danger!! I just wasn’t very comfortable with the subject matter hence my 3 star review.*
The writing is as well done as this Authors other books so it’s 100% worth reading Don’t miss out on this companion novella
