She was irresistible to every man…except one.

Lily Borsage is the ultimate siren: gorgeous, aloof and irresistible to all the men in Bayou La Siryna. All of them, that is, until Nashoba Bowman comes back to town. The Native American kid whose innocent first kiss Lily remembers fondly is now all grown-up, hot as an Alabama summer and immune to Lily's charms. What self-respecting mermaid could resist finding out more?

But Nash has a dark history that puts any woman he loves in grave danger, and a heritage of power he isn't ready to accept. And Lily has a secret that no mortal man can ever know. When a mysterious enemy starts menacing Lily, they will both have to risk everything and embrace their deepest destinies if they want to survive.
I received a digital ARC of this book from the author via NjKinny Tours and Promotions in exchange for my honest and unbiased review. Thanks for the copy! All are my own opinion and is not compensated by any individual, organization, or company. This might contain minor spoilers.

Siren’s Call is a mermaid-themed fantasy novel. As far as I can remember, this is my first mermaid-centered story, so I urge myself not to expect anything because expecting might ruin my reading experience. I love fantasy stories. I love mythical creatures--and a siren or mermaid is popularly known as one.

Debbie Herbert decorates the mermaid main character, Lily, with traits that we commonly hear from anywhere. Eyes, hair, skin, and body types--all fitting for a goddess appearance. Alluring and seductress--so the myths say. With all of this amazing features Lily have, I still did not like her. She seems so shallow and a bit arrogant. She’s not someone I’ll enjoy to have company with, lest I might grow tired of her. The reason may be because I haven’t read the previous books in the series; I might like her if I did. On the other hand, Nash seems to be a simplistic guy despite him having girl secrets and inherited spiritual powers. I can’t say I like him nor can I hate him; He’s good and I’m staying neutral about that.

The story is quite simple and ordinary. With the insertion of other tribal myths, this act had added more colours to the story. I like it done that way.

This book might be already the third book in the series but it can definitely be read as standalone. I recommend it to all romance and fantasy readers out there, especially those who fancy merfolks.
