Bad Siren: A Bad Monsters Novel

by Janae Cantrell

A contemporary monster rom-com with a few heavy themes and a happily ever after.

Elora, a modern day siren, has already done the work and overcome the odds stacked against her. She’s now the owner of Siren Rock, a siren themed strip club in Allentown, a hub for monsters of all kinds. But Elora holds a dark secret from her past that makes it impossible for her to settle down with a good man or monster.

Reece has just lost everything. Fleeing the city after a nasty divorce, he finds himself back in the town he grew up in, Allentown. With his emotions in shambles, he finds somewhere to live while he picks up the pieces of his life and himself. Is it fortunate or unfortunate that the house he moves into is next door to his ex-girlfriend, Elora?

The flame between them rekindles, but when sparks become a wildfire, Elora pulls away. The siren and the human reconcile their pasts and find themselves as they struggle with keeping their relationship a secret.

I like the storyline a lot better than Bad Minotaur. I liked the added conflict of Silas. There could have been more conflict, but for a short read it was just the right amount. I thought the way the spice was introduced and maintained was an amazingly different way of making this book more fun! In hindsight, it’s such a healthy supportive way for them to explore their fantasies. Honestly, loved the book alone for that aspect!

HOWEVER, JANAE! We need to have a chat are Rainn. 🥵 WTF! Why did you have to be a tease! That sexual chemistry! To be honest, at one point I needed him more than Elora & Reece! 😭 Poor Rainn being left in his corner! Hehe, his corner…not that he was mad about it. 😏

Perfect second chance romance

I loved this. Reece and Elora are reunited after 12 years. Elora is a business owner with a secret that's preventing her from being with Reece. Reece is struggling following a divorce and returning to his home town.
I love their 'loophole' for being together and the role plays were so fun and I loved that their characters trusted each other that much!
This was spicey, cute, romantic and so much fun to read!

5/5 absolutely. This book was amazing and even better than Bad Minotaur, but I might be a bit biased because I love my some Greek sirens and the ocean. Regardless, the smut was so much more than I thought it would be, absolutely perfect 💙

This was such a treat~

I had middling expectations going into this book after just finishing Bad Minotaur, but the quality of the writing has gone WAY up. Still a few little typos, but overall this was a great time!

Incredible spicy scenes, fun characterization, and just the right length.

Felt like there was a lot of unnecessary shenanigans

10/10! love me some Greek mythology, sirens, and the sea. And the story was more complex the further into it I got
