The Siren’s Tale  by  Anne CarlisleI received this book in exchange for an honest review by the Author and the “Lovers of Paranormal” Group on Goodreads.comA wonderful book which details the life of Cassandra, a Siren living in the early 1900’s and her internal struggle between the Siren and human aspects of her nature.  This book is a re-crafting of the Siren tales from Greek Mythology, but set in the modern world.  Although I have not read the first book in this series, I felt that ‘The Siren’s Tale’ is a fantastic stand alone book.  I have to admit that this book does take a while to get into, as it starts off with Chloe Vye ( Cassandra’s daughter )explaining the family curse, history and the siren heritage to her cousin Marlena Bellum, so lots of detail and history to plough through in the first chapter, but then the story takes off and turns into a rich tapestry of a story which is fantastic.  This book is rich and descriptive.  It is a well crafted story with plenty of suspense, adventure and a generous helping of romance which unfold in a smooth and effortless manner.  The writing is descriptive and flows well, and the characters are well described and extremely life-like.  This is a unique and creative spin on your typical paranormal book, which any lover of paranormal and romance books will thoroughly enjoy.  A very entertaining read from a talented author, which I absolutely loved.
