Great story, fast read for me but I enjoyed it all the same.
I don’t normally read books in a series that I haven’t read from book #1, a I liked this. It showed love and loyalty for family, and I am big on that! I will definitely go back and read the first 4 books soon.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A Song of Salt and Secrets is the second book in the Mythic Academy Collection by Amanda Marin. It follows Corisande – a Siren who is in school to learn to control her deadly song. On a trip to the ocean to safely sing, Corisande lures a young sailor to what should be his death. After rescuing Noah, Corisande must face the consequences of her actions; the sea demands a life payment for the siren song. This was another quick but fun story. The books are stand-alones connected by the mythos and are able to be read in any order.

A Song of Salt and Secrets (Mythic Academy Collection) by Amanda Marin – Review by Jessica Stone

I haven’t read anything else in this Collection, but I don’t believe it is necessary to enjoy this delight read. If you’re looking for something in YA Romantasy genre this book definitely fits the bill.

The story is about a young girl named Corisande who is a siren attending a school specifically for sirens to learn to control their abilities, without control their gifts can run rampant and hurt not only others but themselves.

One fateful day, she saves Noah after his boat crashes on the cliffs near her school and she immediately finds herself undeniably drawn to him as he is to her.

Very sweet relationship blossoms between these two it actually brought tears to my eyes, Corisande is so sweet and compassionate it’s hard not to fall in love with her character and thankfully Noah isn’t your run of the mill wealthy young lad. The bond between them that forms upon meeting is enviable to be sure.

For such a quick read I really enjoyed this book, I’m interested to see more into this world and dive deeper into the fantasy’s created, I’d like to see some expansion from her best friend sera’s character because she was a wonderful supporting roll, and I believe whole heartedly she deserves her own HEA.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in a series but can be read as a standalone easily. This little novella will not disappoint!

Corisande (what a beautiful name!) is a siren who is trying to learn how to control her song at the Magwich Academy. For someone who LOVES to sing, this is not an easy feat for her. One day, things get out of control and she causes a neighboring school’s student to crash his boat. Rage and fury are unleashed and Corisande sinks further into guilt and a low self-worth.

A great read that you won’t put down until you finish!

This book was an incredible read, I really liked the element to this book on the way that a siren is written. Usually, its about them sending sailors to ship wrack but this one took a different turn. Instead as Corisande sings and almost gets a young man shipwrecked. But instead, they rescue him. They both realize that they like each other but it seems to anger some higher up people. This was a very short and captivating read. The supernatural element and the way it was weaved together made this a very ae turning read. This book can also be read alone. Highly recommend.

This was the first book I’d picked up by this author, so I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. The cover definitely caught my eye instantly, and once I read the summary, I knew I had to pick it up. I’m a big fan of the YA and Paranormal genre which made this book a perfect fit for me. I felt like this was a unique take on Siren folklore and our main character, Corisande, going to Magwitch Academy in order to learn how to control her powers. Noah, a sailor, ends up on the other end of Corisande’s powers, but they end up bonding. I love that this is only part of the series because the author has me hooked with just this installment. This book can also be read as a standalone so no worries if you read this one first like I did. I can’t wait to pick up the other one and see what adventures await! If you love paranormal books, this one is for you.

A Song of Salt and Secrets is a standalone novella in the Mythic Academy Collection. I have previously enjoyed the Crimson Sash series by the same author. I love fantasy stories with music in them so expected to enjoy this book and it didn’t disappoint! It tells the story of a young Siren, Corisande, who is learning to control her powers and find a way to balance her need to sing and desire to keep people safe.

This is an enjoyable story that packs plenty of loveable characters (and some less so!) as well as intrigue and mythological background into a short read. It’s a page-turner with lots of details that flesh out the world that Corisande and her friends inhabit.

I love how the musical elements of this story are written, with the Siren’s desperate need to sing and the practical steps they take to control and fulfill this need, as well as the descriptions of how it feels when they do sing. This is fantastic!

A Song of Salt and Secrets gets five stars from me! I’d recommend it to fans of teen/YA fantasy who are interested in stories about music.

Corisande is a monster in her eyes. A siren without complete control. One day while singing her song at sea, she didn’t notice a boat until it was too late. The sailor had heard her song and was now heading towards the rock to his doom. Feeling guilty, Corisande rushed to help the sailor only to find out he was a handsome boy her own age named Noah. She did all she could and called for help.

Corisande tried to get Noah out of her mind but she couldn’t. She wanted to make sure he lived. She travelled to the hospital. Noah remembered her and the song. There was a rumour that if someone lives through the Siren’s song, the siren would die instead. She knows she should move on with her life but she just can’t seem to say goodbye. It’s hard to tell if feelings are genuine or if this is the curse at play. Once Noah finds out what Corisande really is, that will put her whole school in jeopardy. Plus who would love a monster who tried to kill you?

This was a cute stand alone novella geared towards young adults. A slow budding but forbidden romance between an unlikely duo.

This story thrilled me! It has action, suspense and young romance. I liked the subject matter since I have not read much about them. We actually get to see/hear and feel their thoughts and emotions pertaining to “singing and the sea”. Corisande is ever curious about herself, the curse and normal people. She is good at heart even though she carries the curse. I did not read book 1 in the series and had no problem following along. So can easily be read as a stand along.

Corisande is a Siren who’s been home schooled her entire life finds herself at Magwitch academy specific for Sirens to learn to control their song and keep the secrets of the sirens. She didn’t want to come here in the first place after only knowing her mom as a teacher but she knows as a young Siren she’s dangerous and needs to hone her powers, and control her song so she stays despite her reluctantance.
Corisande and her roommate/new BFF Sera follow all the academy rules to the letter whenever they head out of the academy walls. One day they head to the ocean cliffs to practice their song. Corisande has checked everywhere and the coast is clear so she’s horrified when she starts singing that a small sailboat appears on the horizon and is heading for a very rocky shore. Corisande cuts off her song but it’s too late and the boat heads to the rocky shore and crashes.
Horrified Corisande and Sera rush down the rocks to safe this poor soul from certain death. While freeing him he mumbles the Siren song he heard Corisande sing shocking her into silence.
Once they free him they rush back to their car and get back to the school before they are discovered as ems arrives, but before she leaves Corisande finds his wallet and his name Noah and she immediately can’t get him off her mind and finds herself googling him for more information, turns out he attends a human prep school nearby.
From there the story that unfolds is a beautiful ya Paranormal Romance story with Corisande feeling a pull to Noah she doesn’t understand and the same happening for Noah. I don’t want to say much more as this is a wonderfully done set up for more stories and anything else would give it all away.

“A Song of Salt & Secrets” is the second novella in the Mythic Academy collection. However, it is a standalone story that follows the journey of Corisande, a siren who attends the Magwitch Academy with other sirens to learn how to control their singing urge, which can harm people. One day, when she thought nobody was around, Corisande causes a young sailor named Noah to wreck his ship. Filled with guilt, she saves Noah’s life but angers an ancient goddess in the process. As she struggles to deal with her growing feelings for Noah while keeping her true identity a secret, Corisande must also confront a vengeful goddess who will stop at nothing to seek revenge.

A Song of Salt and Secrets is the second Novella in The Mythic Academy Collection. This book takes place in the same world as The School of Nine. The main character this time is Corisande who is a Siren studying at Magwitch Academy, a boarding school by the sea. Sirens are cured with a song of salt that lures unexpected sailors to their deaths. Corisande accidentally sings to Noah causing him to crash on the shore, he is injured but alive. What will happen to Corisande and Noah now that he has heard the sirens song? The world building and character development is fantastic considering that it is a novella. The details within the book are enough to hook you in. It is a nice twist on myths about the supernatural. The romance is clean. Overall, the book is a fun and short read.

A Song of Salt and Secrets is part of the Mythic Academy series by Amanda Marin, this is an enjoyable short read that looks at a part of the supernatural community that I don’t think I have ever read about before, sirens. The story follows Corisande, who is a senior at the mysterious Magwich Academy, a school designed to keep sirens safe from the human world. Unfortunately, even though she tried her best not to, Corisande unexpectedly allows a human to hear her siren song and although she saves him, it may not be enough to save herself. I liked this book, I read it all in one sitting and it kept me engaged throughout. I wish there was a bit more character development though as I feel that you didn’t get to really get to know them properly. I did like that it was a new take on a supernatural story and would read more in this series.

A Song of Salt and Secrets is the second book in the Mythic Academy Collection by Amanda Marin. It is a YA teen fantasy with sirens, an ancient Goddess, a curse, magic, romance as well as friendships. It has a little mermaid vibe just revamped. We follow Corisande, who is a siren, attending the Magwitch Academy. She is desperately trying to keep her cursed singing voice under control, but despite warnings, she lures in Noah, who is a student at a nearby Prep school, and almost kills him when he crashes his boat. Cue in angry Goddess Aphrodite. Corisande is rapidly starting to feel a pull towards Noah. Fate must have a plan, even if it doesn’t seem that way at the moment.

Will Corisande ever be able to control her curse? Will Aphrodite cause problems than cannot be averted? How could Noah ever love a monster like Corisande?

While this is the second book in the collection, it is and can be read as a stand-alone. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

**Noah’s mom is probably the only aspect of the book I did not like. While I understand she was wanting to keep her son safe, it came off really odd. But it did not make that big of an impact of how much I loved the book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a really enjoyable YA paranormal romance. It is a story full of magic, myths, danger, romance, ancient goddesses and secrets all set in the boundaries of an academy.
I loved Corisande, she is a character who I really felt for because she sees herself as a monster and finds it hard to believe that anyone can see her as anything more than that.
Corisande is a Siren. She has been cursed with this which means she always has to fight the urge to sing because her song can lure men to their death.
And that’s what happened. One fateful day she thought it was safe to sing her song but it wasn’t safe and all and it brought Noah almost to his death.
After Corisande saves Noah she can’t help but feel drawn to him but she doesn’t understand the reason why. As she gets to know him questions arise that needs to be answered such as should she tell him the truth about what she is? Could there be a connection between his uncle who survived a shipwreck and a past student who saved a human then ended up losing their life?
What happens when a life that is supposed to be sacrificed survives? Does there need to be another person taken in their place?

This story is fast paced and very unique. It is part of a series but you can read this story as a standalone. I really enjoyed it and I can’t wait to read more.

This was a really cute novella. It was quick to get through. I was quite sad that it didn’t take me very long to finish it. I wanted to read more and hear more about Corisande and Noah’s story. The way it ended was very sweet, but I was wanting more. I will say though my favorite character was Sera. She was everything a best friend could ask for. I am for sure going to read more about Mythic Academy! It tied in the different myths of the sirens beautifully, and the storytelling was amazing. When the accident causing Noah to fall off his boat leads into some interesting turns and twists. Are the feeling between Corisande and Noah real, or are they just because of her curse?

A Song of Salt and Secrets by Amanda Marin is the second novella in the Mythic Academy Collection. This story is about a Siren, Corisande, who accidentally hurts a sailor and a series of events that unfold. In this re-imagined telling, Sirens are sent to a special school in order to learn to conceal their powers and keep the knowledge of their existence a secret. On an outing with her best friend Sera, Bianca accidentally cause Noah to crash his boat. Feeling terrible the two Sirens save him. This action would be the start of turning the world they know upside down. Secrets will be revealed, bonds will be formed and something so powerful and simple may just be what they need to fix everything.

The characters are very sweet. Corisande and Noah are bonded by her curse but the feelings may be real. They both protect each other in their own ways. Sera is actually my fave character. The way she is there for Corisande is beautiful. She’s a shoulder to cry on, a voice of reason, and a defender. Again, like the first story, the ending is complete. I don’t have numerous questions. I love the tie in to mythology.

This story is marketed towards young adults but I enjoyed it a lot. It’s nice to read feel good wholesome books that don’t have a lot of adult content in them every now and then. You get romance, fantasy/paranormal, and a bit of mystery in this one. 4.5 ⭐️

This story is a take on the Gods and Goddesses. Corisande is the main character and her best friend Sera. Both are sirens. The explanation for sirens in the story is interesting but I don’t want to give too much away since this is set up like a standalone novella. It takes place at Magwitch Academy, a school for sirens to teach them how to control their powers.

However, they still have accidents which brings in Noah Fisk. Noah is a senior at a school near Magwitch. When Coriande sees Noah for the first time she feels a pull towards him but he doesn’t even know she is there.

I really liked this novella. I haven’t read a whole lot of standalone novellas but I am interested in checking them out now. This book has under 200 pages and is a short read but it is worth the time to check it out.

“There’s one thing more powerful than true love’s kiss. For Corisande Phillips, being a siren has meant living a cursed life, a lonely life—a life plagued by the fear of hurting someone with her deadly song. At Magwitch Academy, she has learned to control her urge to sing … for the most part, anyway. But when a moment of weakness gets the best of her, Corisande accidentally causes Noah, a student at a nearby prep school, to crash his sailboat, unleashing the fury of the sea—and an ancient goddess who will not be robbed of her revenge. Only Noah’s love has the power to save Corisande, but how can he ever learn to care for a monster like her?”
Does he learn to love her or will love conquer all , or not at all , will have to read the story to find out. This is the second book in the series, can be read as a stand alone, loved the characters, and the storyline. looking forward to read more from this author. I give this book 4 stars.

Interesting and wonderful, short, young adult book. I really felt for both Corisande and Noah. Both had rich lives with friends, and families that cared for them, but they were both lonely. Lonely until they found each other. Corisande is a special type of siren, although her siren song is supposed to lure sailors to their death, she doesn’t want anyone to die, so when Noah gets hurt, she is devastated. I appreciate her wanting to confess everything to Noah, but I can tell she is falling for him and doesn’t want to lose what she is building with him. Noah’s mom is a hinderance but I understand her need to keep her son safe after what happened to her husband. The story is short and sweet, Noah and Corisande are super cute together and I was nervous about their fight Aphrodite, but excited to see how everything turned out in the end.

4.5 Stars

 

A Song of Salt and Secrets is the second book in The Mythic Academy Collection series by Amanda Marin. This is another enchanting YA fantasy with a magical academy setting, Sirens, curses, magic, drama, danger, high stakes, agendas, myths, a touch of sweet (clean) romance, friendship, a journey of discovery, action, adventure, secrets, an ancient goddess with a grudge, fun, fairytale vibes (Little Mermaid-type story), a touch of fate, and emotion.
I loved the first book in the series, and the whole ‘Mystic Academy’ aspect – so there was never any question that I would be diving into this book as soon as it hit my Kindle. Even though this is the second book in the series, it can be read as a standalone if you wanted, as each instalment focuses on its own particular character/s- the common theme being the ‘Mystical Academy’- although different academies.
Magwitch Academy is where Sirens have been going for generations to learn to control their ‘deadly’ curse. But what happens if a siren unintentionally causes a nautical accident- her ‘victim’ driving his boat onto the rocks where she had been singing her song? What happens if the ‘sailor’ just happens to be young, handsome, and lives not too far away from the academy? Well, Corisande finds herself in just such a predicament- she feels an immediate connection with her ‘victim’, as if their fates are intertwining… And while fate seems to have a plan for them, exactly what that plan is, Corisande isn’t so sure… though she’s beginning to suspect a very tragic ending. Being drawn to Noah adds an extra complexity to an already overly complicated situation. Throw in some mystery, grief, a meddling mother, a powerful curse, sinister intentions, rage, grief, history, and a very vengeful goddess- and this story became unputdownable!
This is such a great little series- I’m very much looking forward to Book #3!
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Amanda Marin!

This book was a great addition to the series and I was really excited to get back into it. For me, this book was even better than the first and I really enjoyed the story the author has created. I loved that this book was centered on a siren, which is again not a typical main character. It added a new element to a book that was well written and a great read from the start.
The characters in this book were just as engaging as the previous and I wanted to know more about them too. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I am looking forward to what this author produces next.

A Song of Salt and Secrets has a unique and intriguing storyline and clever world building. It is a standalone YA fantasy romance novella-length tale. With a lot of emotions frustration, fear, longing, love, suffering, suspense, action, adventure, and there are a lot of ups and downs.
Corisande ties hard to keep a side of her hidden because if not she can destroy and that is not who she is. Being born as a siren is a curse but can’t help wanting to sing it is who she is, but it is that very thing that puts everything in peril. She lives her life on hopes and dreams. Will Noah be the one to save her from herself and himself along the way?
A Song of Salt and Secrets has well-developed and interesting characters that are hard not to like and feel for. I really enjoyed the premise of this short, sweet read.

When Amanda was a child, her father traveled frequently for business, always bringing back a book as a present for her. Whether she was getting lost in the pages of a tale about faraway knights, girls with supernatural powers, or kindly giants, she was quickly hooked on stories.

Nowadays, Amanda writes books of her own. A USA Today bestselling author, she also works in scholarly publishing. Her favorite things include Starbucks lattes, lazy summer afternoons at the beach, and stories with characters that make you go “awww.” She lives in New England with her family and furbaby, Snickers the Poodle.
