So I’ll just touch on the things I liked, and didn’t liked, and then give my final thoughts. I’m not going to review this in my normal long form format with all the categories and stuff, because honestly the book was short like I said and really not much to fill in each section. It’s nothing ground breaking, but enjoyable enough and engaging enough to finish. ![]() It’s definitely what I like to call, a popcorn read. Overall, it was a good enough read because of its length: the audio book was 7 hours, and I finished it in 2 days (could be one day if you felt like binging the book). If it wasn’t for the fact it had sirens in it, I probably would have stopped reading. What wound up bothering me however, was the drawn out premise, the directions this plot went, and how predictably cliché it wound up being. After reading the plot synopses, I knew it would be a generic romance, that part of it didn’t bother me. ![]() ![]() I picked up The Siren because I love mermaids, and Sirens.
