Pretty Monster
Ten years have passed since the mysterious event that occurred in New York City, turning hundreds of civilians into deviants – a strange and powerful new breed of humanity. Most of these creatures have been rounded up and sent to the deviant prison known as Devil’s Island. Quinn Harper – known to those who both fear and idolize her as The Siren – is one of the last free deviants. When she faces a choice – surrender and go willingly to Devil’s Island, or watch her best friend die – she makes the only one she can. But she will soon learn that Devil’s Island is not the prison the world believes it to be. Will she be able to cast aside eighteen years’ worth of distrust and embrace this enigmatic new community? Or will she just keep running?

Great read.
Intriguing world building, powerful action, and strong characters. Everything I love in a great book. I would love to see more books in this mythos. I would enjoy seeing what kind of culture they build and what relationships they create with the "regulars". I hope this author writes more in this world.

Great read!
Amazing read! I was hooked right off the bat and this book was really interesting too. Recommend if you like people with supernatural abilities and two people falling for each other along the way.

Okay read
Enjoy the start with the actions but it got really slow and boring after the siren was placed inside the island. I gave up after halfway. The romance was slow too. Writing was good but the plot was not for me.

Fact or fiction
This story is full of half truths, outright lies, misunderstandings and hate for anything we don't see as "normal". The story shows how a combination of curiosity, compassion, and acceptance are the building blocks of a richer and stronger society

Good book
A really great read at a reasonable length. Nicely drawn plot and detailed characters. A perfect pick for fans of the tv show The Gifted.
