"I don't like the cover of this book, but I'm hopeful that I'll enjoy the story. I hope it focuses less on romance and more on the magic and Sirens.
I'm not especially keen on any romance in this story. I wouldn't have thought to read this book based on the cover alone, but the first book was great. Fingers crossed the sequel is too!" — 1 hour, 48 min ago

“Books are not meant to remain in your mind, but in your heart. Maybe they exist in your mind too, but as something more than memories. At a crossroads in life, a forgotten sentence or a story from years ago can come back to offer an invisible hand and guide you to a decision.”
