    About this audiobook

    In Celia Graves's world, vampires roam the alleys of Tinseltown, street-corner psychics have real powers, and cops use memory enhancement spells. But Celia thought she was an ordinary human, albeit one with a clairvoyant best friend and a ghostly little sister. The vampire attack that made Celia an abomination forces her to take food in liquid form and gives a whole new meaning to the word "sunburn." She's slowly adjusting (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. Her best friend's murder is unsolved, the cops think Celia should be in jail or staked, and her old lover, mage Bruno DeLuca, has something important to tell her. To top it all off, Celia's been summoned to the Sirens' island. 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.

      another solid 3.5 stars, and this one neatly ties up most of the glaringly loose threads from the cliffhanger-ended 1st in the series. since you're dumped into the now-in-progress plot on the same day the 1st book ended, don't read this one as a stand-alone, go ahead and start at the beginning.

      New twists in the story -- new powers appearing -- old enemies discovered -- family claimed

      This book starts just as slowly as the first in the series did. Adams though is well practiced in the art of foreshadowing. This is a really big plus with me. I always think this is fan-freaking-tastic. Pitfall though is that it seems that a lot of the chapters are dry, and there is no action. You either have an action packed chapter, or you have an inner reflection chapter. You've been warned.
      Cheers Pretties!

      Celia is now trying to save her life - over and over again. It's really hard to say much about this book without spoiling it for anyone. But, you would highly recommend reading the first book before you dive into this one. Celia is starting to deal with her vampirism and while some others are starting to accept it, others just can't (they feel she should be put down). But, a lot of things are answered in this book - why her sister died so young, why she's been having such bad luck all of her life, why her mother has gone the way of the bottle, that her friends aren't always what they appear and others surprise her with their genuine selfless-ness. Her character kind of grows - she's learning to sensor her mouth, just a little. But, I'm still frustrated with some of her choices. I think my favorite characters are John Creede and Dottie. I would like to see them play a bigger role. My biggest frustration were simple editing errors. They just kept distracting from my reading.But, I will be reading the next book. Not sure when. I enjoy this series, but not enough to race out to the store and buy the next one just today. Over all - I would tell others to read this book/series.

      Fun filled and action packed. The drama never seems to stop for Celia!!! Going from a normal human, to a vampire and now she is a siren too! Geez, life is just filled with surprises for our main character. But this has made the book really fun and different to read. I've never read a book about sirens so it was pretty interesting to get into the story behind the sirens. Now in this book, the king from the previous book is back and needs Celia's help. Her boyfriend has just left her for some strange reason and things aren't looking too bright for this court case she has to face. But on the bright side, she may have a new partner if things go right with the court case. The book has a lot of twists and turns, it seems that she is wanted in front of the Queens of the sirens, but first she has to make sure that she doesn't spend the rest of her life in the state institute for the fear of being a danger to everyone around her because she's a vampire. She goes to her best friends will reading and someone tries to kill her. What a minute, what is going on here?But in the end. everything turns out okay and even though her love life is slightly different, I believe that it turned out for the best!

      Love-love-loving this Blood Singer series. Psyched for Book 3, Demon Song. Can't wait to see what other abilities Celia will develop. Will she get back together with Bruno? Will her mother try to straighten out her life and repair their damaged relationship? Stay tuned :)

      I really, really wanted to love this book, since I was thoroughly entertained by Blood Song, the first installment in the series. Most of my issues with this book revolve around the plot. The pacing was just not very well balanced. Majority of the story moved along rather slowly. At somewhat random parts, brief moments of action were introduced, but were soon followed by rather mundane scenes that were far more detailed than they needed to be. Then abruptly towards the end, the action was kicked ...more I really, really wanted to love this book, since I was thoroughly entertained by Blood Song, the first installment in the series. Most of my issues with this book revolve around the plot. The pacing was just not very well balanced. Majority of the story moved along rather slowly. At somewhat random parts, brief moments of action were introduced, but were soon followed by rather mundane scenes that were far more detailed than they needed to be. Then abruptly towards the end, the action was kicked into high gear and careened into a rather quick conclusion. Significant developments/events felt rushed and not as explored as they should have been.I was also disgruntled and disappointed by the plot twists. As a reader, I generally like to be surprised. I like a good mystery and unexpected revelations. I even like the occasional red herrings thrown into the mix. However, these tactics need to be effectively incorporated into the story, make sense, and be justified. A couple of big twists in Siren Song made absolutely no sense to me. They seemed like forced plot devices with no natural progression or cohesion with preceding events. Both twists involved people Celia holds dear, who completely acted out of character. In Blood Song, Cat Adams built these characters up to have important roles in Celia's life and hinted at even greater involvement in the future. Sadly, that was basically thrown out the window. In this book, these characters very briefly pop in, trample on everything they were setup to represent, and pop back out just as abruptly. I was left feeling perplexed and frustrated.Honestly, the main thing that kept me reading was Celia's character. I still very much liked her in this book. She is well written and easy to connect with. As in the first book, I found myself drawn into her multifaceted struggle. Celia is faced with a lot of challenges, threats, and heartaches, and she just keeps on fighting and pushing ahead. She is strong but vulnerable, and she is very smart and resourceful. I like the fact that her being a bodyguard is actually believable. Too often, urban fantasy heroines are setup to be private investigators, police officers, bodyguards, etc. and they act in ways that make you very skeptical of their qualifications and capabilities. So, I was very happy that this was not the case with Celia's character.

      Im So sad for Celia, She has gone threw way to much and looks like will continue to suffer in books to come. Great read though
