It has been two years since twenty-two-year-old Eliza Thorne went to prison. Now she is let out into the world and tries to make a change. Though, Eliza has no idea where to start. After she is out of prison, things have gotten to a rocky start. Eliza takes care of her old neighborhood friend's five-year-old daughter, Kayla. Then, she encounters her high school friend Anthony, who is a police officer. But fate took it's toll. After Eliza stood up to the waitress' abusive boyfriend and catches a man running down the street with a pedestrian's purse, she is hired to work with the police. And who will assist her? Her boss, Chief Johnson, assigns Anthony to be Eliza's aid. Because of Eliza's criminal history and her impressive fighting skills, the chief of police thinks that Eliza can help with the cases.

In the novel White Sirens, Eliza must redeem herself, as she faces her own past, discovers love and loyalty, and what her past unravels while solving a mystery.

an interesting window into the world of a woman for whom life has kicked around a few times. had a couple places where the story drove home. there were a couple contextual errors but nothing that hinders the story. well worth a read :)

I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.

A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written crime thriller (quadruple timeline) book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great crime thriller movie, or better yet a mini TV series. It wasn’t as exciting as I was hoping for so I will only rate it at 4/5 stars.

The white sirens by Sunny. Good, strong characters and plots but it was spoilt by my proofreading mind as I filled in words, took out words and endlessly changed tenses, especially for the past. And the name Eliza is inserted into sentences when she is the one telling us her story. So, a good first story from what I can gather, just a few bucks to a professional and it would be perfect.

A very interesting narrative indeed I propose to give it a try it is a very good read. I read it in an afternoon it kept me hooked :P although I have to make a short remark, it can get a bit dull at some points but if you just continue I think is worth every second.

An awesome piece of work
