Siren Cove #5
Caught
Rafael is about to betray his oldest friends.
Traveling to the Cove under the guise of friendship, Rafe is there for one reason and one reason only— to steal a siren. Drawn to Skye from the moment their eyes meet, he finds himself torn, but there are no good choices here.
You're supposed to run away from a predator not toward them.
Raised among humans, Skye isn’t a typical siren. He comes to the Cove to see Aden, but he stays because of Rafael. When he feels the wolf’s eyes on him, he knows he’s being hunted. But in Rafe’s gaze, he sees something more.
Stealing Skye is the lesser of two evils.
With his pack at Magnar's mercy, Rafe has no choice but to do the unthinkable. The siren makes it all too easy, leaving Rafe to war with his own feelings, his guilt, and the unearned trust he sees in Skye’s eyes.
“You always have a choice.”
Skye should have known better than to put his curiosity above his own safety, especially when it comes to Rafe. But with their very existence at stake, Rafe is their best chance of survival. The alpha is deeply troubled, and Skye wants — he needs — to help. Even if it means throwing himself headlong into the path of danger and into Rafael’s arms.
Caught is the final book of the Siren Cove series. It's a novel-length read, featuring a traitorous wolf (or is he?), a siren with zero sense of self-preservation, an evil Alpha Prime and his equally evil brother, mpreg, some difficult themes, and scenes not suitable for readers under the age of eighteen.

I’m really glad that the series has finally picked up after last book. 😊 But I’m also sad that this is the end of this highly enjoyable series. 😭 I can’t believe that this is the end for the amalgamation of our beautiful sirens and powerful wolves. 💙 From the very first book of this series, it has gripped my interest and kept me reading the books as soon as they came out. And I can’t ask for a better ending for these couples. 🥰
I loved Rafael and Skye’s mating. Even from the previous book, I kinda knew they were made for each other and turned out, my hunch was right. 😁 They really are good for each other. Also I’m over the moon that the Alpha Prime, Magnar’s tyranny is finally finished. 😌 It’s way over due in my opinion. And it’s also good to see so many unresolved issues were cleverly handled here. 👏 It’s good to see Sirens and Wolves finally living together in peace. As always, Rafael and Skye’s love story had many obstacles to overcome but in the end, ultimately they have a lovely happily ever after with an adorable baby. ❤️ Plus, sexy times were smoking. 🔥 If you haven’t read any book in this series, you can now binge read it the entire series. And you can thank me later for your enjoyment. 😉

Oh man, I'm so sad to see the end of this series. I have really, really enjoyed this one from Claire Cullen. It has a great combination of wolf shifters and siren/mermen shifters, great alpha and omega dynamics, and hurt/comfort dynamics.
All of the stories in this series have been building up to how to deal with the Alpha Prime, Magnar, who was the wolves' ruthless leader, hellbent on having an alpha heir. He finally figured out that a siren might be the answer he was looking for. Those in Siren Cove were working towards trying to find a way to defeat the Alpha Prime, but to do that they would need a strong alpha on their side.
I really loved all the interaction from so many couples in the previous books, along with the main couple of this book, Rafe and Skye. I suggest reading this series in order since the overall story does build with each one. I also enjoyed that this book seemed to have a bit more on the heat factor that some of the other books.
Can't wait to see what this author thinks up next!

This series actually helped me a lot. I was going through one of the worst reading slumps I’ve ever had—I couldn’t finish a book, and I wasn’t even making it past a couple of pages. Then I remembered this series, and out of nowhere I ended up reading all the books in just two days.
It’s a cute MM series, mostly focused on hurt/comfort. About 99% of the time, the MCs fall in love with someone who isn’t in the best place emotionally, but despite that, it’s not a dark read—far from it.
For now, this review will be the same across all the books, but once I re-read them, I’ll update.
If you enjoy MM romance and want something light and short, this is a great pick.

A great ending to the series. Not only we get a lovely love story, but also an insight into the future of the Cove, the wolf and siren packs. Really enjoyed this one and I'm very glad I didn't give up on it, after the disappointment that book 4 was.

Aww this one made me happy, might be my favorite of the series. Satisfying conclusion to Siren Cove 🥰

I feel like Rafe and Skye were both so disconnected from the larger group, that it felt weird to end on them, and the love story was a little meh... I didn't understand why we were being told both that Skye could tell he was being hunted, and that he was being drawn to Rafe. I didn't quite understand how to feel about that whole thing. And then, why did Skye care so much that he let himself be taken and basically sacrificed himself to take down the Alpha Prime? Why did he trust Rafe when he could tell Rafe was targeting him?
I just needed more conversations between the two of them if Skye was going to trust Rafe to make the right choice. I did like how Rafe turned on the Alpha Prime in that moment and took him down. But it killed me how it was all so disconnected from Nate and the others, how they didn't even know that Rafe was going to do the exact thing they had called on him for.
I died over Rafe being a good person and how Nate and the others called him, laying their hope on him to take down the Alpha Prime, and Rafe being stuck between being the person they needed him to be and trying to protect his sister.
I felt like everything after that was rushed. I don't really know why Rafe and Skye got together. There was no real chemistry, there were no real conversations, so I never really felt anything for the two of them. And because this story was trying to wrap everything up, but we were following two characters who were both a little distant from our main group that we've been following... it just felt like things were being told and not shown, and I don't know. It just didn't feel like the ending I was hoping for from this series.
I did like seeing Skye with his mom and how this human took care of him and how he took care of her, and the bond between them. I liked how Rafe's dad was a good person and was going to take care of running things so Rafe could spend time with his mate and all.
Overall, I loved this series and all these characters so dang much! I loved the family they all built and how they brought the two worlds together!

SIREN COVE SERIES IS MYSTICAL
This is the beautiful final story of SIREN COVE. Even though it is the end, this final book was exciting until the very final paragraph. This magical book was about the shy Siren Skye and the Sexy Alpha wolf Rafe. Sent to the Cove to betray the sirens and wolves who live there, Rafe is in for a big surprise. Not understanding the history between the two species, he doesn't realize, he's not immune. This touches on all the past pairings and children since the beginning of this magnificent series. It shows the true meaning of sacrifice, bravery, courage and true love. It shows what the Cove always wanted, from the very beginning. This is an AMAZING story, with a beautiful happily ever after. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK AND THIS AMAZING, MYSTICAL SERIES!!!!!

It took me awhile to get here but, in the end, I really enjoyed the final installment of the Siren Cove series. I liked that we got full closure on everything that was happening and that the ending to the series was not rushed. Both Rafe and Skye were great characters. Even in the beginning when Rafe was set to betray the people of Siren’s Cove and kidnap Skye, he was still likeable and the reasons behind his actions made sense. Overall, a fitting ending to the series and an enjoyable book.

4.5 ⭐
Loved the series ending.
It's always bittersweet to finish a series you are loving, but the ending was up to the story and if was beautiful seeing how all of them achieved happiness and a future without dear and hatred.
Rafe and Skye were cute together and I liked how different their romance is from the others. They don't start really good considering Rafe kidnaps Skye to give him to Magnar in order to save his family... But it was obvious even before that happened they shared strong feelings for each other.
Their relationship is bumpy, marked by the war and the disturbances created by those who don't want change. I like all the "getting pregnant and having babies" cycle being disrupted .
Truth be told, sometimes I felt the pace was weird. Like things were happening too fast. Magnar's death felt anticlimactic... But gladly there where many more things ahead, and the book, even though weirdly paced, was not boring at all.
Seeing Skye and Rafe mate was beautiful, a journey that made their body even stronger while they helped the peace between wolfs and sirens.
Definitely, I must check the author's other books. And hope for them to be as good as these ones.

So, a lot happens in this book. Of course, it’s to be expected since it’s the final book so it has a lot to close.
First, for those impatient about the big baddie being alive and thriving for so long: he dies in the first quarter of the book. We all expected it but I’m happy we had more time to get to see how the sirens and werewolves would come together instead of focusing on killing him.
It was very fun to see how the story develops and the array of characters. And it was all resolved much better than I anticipated since secret love affairs were more frequent than expected.
Anyways, it was great to get to read about the happy ending for this big family. And to meet Rafe and Skye who were the most interesting of the entire series. Mainly, because Rafe is an absolute badass, and Skye is quite intelligent and charismatic. Skye just screamed confident and nonchalant and I loved it.
Of course, as we learn more about them we realized how incredibly brave and determined each was. And I loved that they were a pretty cool power couple.
Here here to the new alpha prime couple!

Meh. Like the last book, I wasn't too keen on this one. Not sure if it's the books themselves or if after reading the first 3 I hit my limit of ignoring the issues, LOL
After 4 books dragging out the Magnar issue, it was resolved *super* fast into this book, which felt anticlimactic, even if there were more issues down the line. I also just didn't buy the Skye/Rafe pairing given the whole kidnapping thing. I've read books where that has worked, but the author did zero work here to make me believe their connection.
This part is silly, but I also found it not very satisfying to have the grand pack savior to be some rando we didn't even meet until this book. I didn't feel any connection to him and ended up being annoyed that none of the alphas I already knew and liked got the honors.

And our siren and wolf love story comes to an end...
I'm not sure how I feel about this install. It was better than Theo and Cade's (Hooked) for sure...
I'm sad that the series is at an end, simply because there were some pretty good ones in between. However, there were also the not-so-great ones... so maybe it's good for us to say goodbye on a semi-high note.

I ain't gonna lie when I first started this book it annoyed me that after I got invested in the underlying plot some no-name guy was going to swoop in and save the day getting all the glory. Then, half way through it I was like 'this is some good shit' and this was what I expected from Theo's story. Emotional connection between each character and also me, the reader. Because that was what I got from this.
I loved the story and the ending was brilliant. Claire redeemed herself after the catastrophe of a book four she did. So, good for her. I would recommend the series to anyone looking something short and easy to read. I suggest skipping book four, though, if you don't want to really love the entire series because that book will make you want to quit it.

Yet Another Wonderful Story
While many of Claire’s stories are about the loss of packs, or something similar, each one is very different. This one is a totally different concept when it comes to wolves and sirens/mermen but she wove it in such a way that I could barely put them down and devoured the series in just a couple days.
If you like Alpha/Omega stories along with a main storyline through out the series Claire Cullen is the author for you. I’ve read most of her series and books and have enjoyed them all. Well edited, great story’s, excellent world building.

Beautiful and courageous! A true triumph!!!😍😍😍
Absolutely compelling! This series is one of my favorites. All the characters are deep and fierce. Rafe and Skye are the perfect way to end this astoundingly heartwarming series. This is a thrilling and moving story of the pull of the past and how that past is so very important to the future. This world creation is fulfilling in way that's visceral...deep felt!😘 Thank you, Claire Cullen! Highly recommended..whole series!😁

This whole series has been fab. I enjoyed it a lot. Skimmed 99% of the sex scenes since they didn't really do it for me, but loved the overarching plot and the variety the author brought to the five separate couples and their situations within it. Definitely recommended! (Although as with the other series I've read by this author, it should be binged in one go for maximum enjoyment IMHO.)

Good ending
This was a good ending to the series...still something's I would have liked answered but overall a good series..I just wished the epilogue was like 10 years of so in the future...

Awesome series
I love the cove books they are really good books that tie into one another but can be read separately. I just wish their was more of them or the author could write a spin off series about one of the other groups finding love and mates.

Absolutely loved this series. Werewolves shifters and sirens, what's not to love? <3 I also adore how these books are short, straight to the point and with just the right amount of angst and cuteness.

Fabulous Series
The entire Siren Cover series is simply wonderful. Complex world-building with a new take on wolf shifters, and the introduction of sirens, with their own history and mythos.
I strongly recommend reading the entire series.

A lot is happening in here as the story arc comes to a close. The couple was interesting but their romance could have been more intense.
For a final installment rather weak, but still a satisfying ending to an interesting series.

Siren’s Cove is an easily binge-able series. Sirens and wolves find their way back to each other after generations of conflict between the two shifter groups. Even the quieter books built up to a lovely ending in the series. I enjoyed the softness of the relationships.

This read like a very long epilogue, which I liked very much. But the couple and their behaviour was rather odd, which I didn't like.

Hell if I know why, but I was sort of expecting more from this final one. I think I had hopes that the confrontation with Magnar would be an actual thing and not over and done quick like.

Skye was a great character! Rafael got a lot better throughout the book. I felt it was a good wrap up of the series. I definitely check out more from this author.

Nice series but i wish it was 2 books shorter, as for Magnar, a villain built up the through the entire series, his defeat is anti-climactic.
