In ‘Siren’s Call’ we meet Lily Borsage, a siren.
Lily is gorgeous and every man she meets is immediately attracted to her. Everything
about Lily draws men in. And although Lily definitely likes being beautiful,
being a siren isn’t easy. All woman hate her, and all the men think she’s playing
with them. What they don’t know is that all that Lily want’s is to find true
love. But this isn’t easy when every guy you meet doesn’t seem interested in
you, but only in your body and your voice. And that’s not the only thing, she
also has a secret she can’t talk to ‘normal’ people about: she is a mermaid.

One day she sees a very handsome man walking around town,
soon she realizes he is her old friend Nash, and he is gorgeous. But Nash doesn’t
seem interested in Lily at all. Isn’t he affected by her Siren abilities? Nash
has secrets of his own, and really doesn’t want the attention of another woman.
But Lilly doesn’t give up quickly.

This is the first book I read about mermaids. I always
found mermaids fascinating but somehow never read a book about them. So I
really enjoyed reading something a little different. This story immediately starts,
there’s no slow introduction or getting used to the characters. From the very
first page this book starts with Lily and Cash, and I really felt like I was
reading this book longer than just for one page. It was a little strange to
start a book like this, but it definitely made me interested in reading more.

This book was definitely not what I expected. I somehow
thought this book would be kind of a fairytale, but it’s written in the present
and it’s about the ‘real world’. Yes, the main character is a mermaid. But most
of all, she just lives in a little town, enjoys painting and interacts with
people like we all do.

Unfortunately I didn’t really like the main character
Lily. She was just so arrogant, and although I know this is because she is a
siren and has these powers.. the arrogance bothered me. Fortunately, Debbie
Herbert’s writing is good enough that I really did enjoy the story, without
liking the main character.

I loved the mystery part in this book, the romance and
above all I loved the mermaid stuff. This book is definitely a nice summer
read. Nothing too complicated, but just a fun book you can read while lying in
the sun.
