What I liked: 1) Simon. I adore geeky, studious guys. 2) The location - imagining myself in Maine, where the summer weather is maybe 70 degrees was quite a change from the 110 degrees we're having here in Texas. I loved how vivid and lively the scenery was in the story. 3) Sirens. I'm enjoying branching out on my paranormal creatures. It's not all vampires and wizards anymore. I don't know much folklore about sirens, mostly what you get from The Odyssey, so I found this very enjoyable. 4) Light and easy to read. The book was 344 pages, and I read it in a matter of hours. It was interesting enough that one I dove in, I didn't look up again until I'd finished. What I didn't like: 1) The plot felt a little choppy. There could have been more flow to the overall story. Sometimes I felt like there were just little holes, or skips, and it interrupted the plot. 2) I understood what was going on, but it just seemed like the main characters, Vanessa, Simon and Caleb weren't fully understanding what they were learning at some points. Like in a B movie, you know who the killer is, but the "hero" just walks right into a trap? Overall thoughts: If you love paranormal stories, but want something new, this is the book for you. It's not the general wizards, vampires, faeries, but has thrown a new breed into the mix with the Sirens. There are some fun characters, and it's definitely an intriguing plotline. I have book 2, Undercurrent in my TBR pile, and I'm excited to dig into it. See this and other reviews at Fuzzy.Coffee.Books

This book is from the Heartsong Presents historical series, sweet historical romances in various settings with an inspirational theme. This particular book is set in Rome and Britain in 64 AD, and continues the story of Decimus, one of the main characters from a previous book by the author, "The Eagle and the Lamb." It's been five years since Decimus was freed from slavery, and he has made his way from Ephesus to Rome. He still searches for a way to leave Rome, which is dangerous for Christians such as himself, and make his way to Britannia to see if his family survived the attack 12 years ago when he was captured, made a slave, and sent to Rome. One day in the city, he comes across a slave auction where a young woman is being sold. For some strange reason, he is desperate to save her from her fate, and uses the money his former master gave him to buy her. The young woman, Chara, is also a Christian, and so Decimus brings her along as he meets a man who can help him leave Rome and return to his homeland. They arrange to go to Britannia as slaves of Galla, a Roman centurion who has converted to Christianity. To protect Chara from unwanted attention, Galla convinces Decimus to marry her. Chara always longed to marry for love but goes along with the plan because Galla convinces her that Decimus will come to love her. The journey to Britannia is long and dangerous with storms and a pirate attack but along the way Chara and Decimus begin to fall in love, but neither knows the other's feelings. They arrive in Britannia and now must contend with harsh winter weather as Decimus searches for his tribe and family. This is a good historical romance and I really enjoyed the setting in ancient Rome and Britain, which is a unique setting in historical romances. The love story between the two main characters was very sweet and believable, and I learned some interesting historical facts from the book as well.
