Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas by Amy McKinley
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Amy McKinley is an author that I was introduced to when I was looking for new authors. She has an amazing ability to grab me in her synopsis. Her talents of storytelling grabs me from the first paragraph until the last word. Siren’s Call: Cursed Seas was no different. She sets up the scenery in such a way that you really get a great picture in the mind’s eye. Now add the characters like Nerissa. She is chosen to be the next maiden sacrifice and she is trying to get out of this sacrifice. Her little seaside village has been protected by the gods but time is running out. The village is already showing signs of disfavor by the gods. As the time comes near for Nerissa to be sacrificed, there is a visitor (an outsider) who comes to take Nerissa away. Will this protect Nerissa from becoming the maiden sacrifice or will it anger the gods? Read the story and find out for yourself.
