Sing Me to Sleep (Sing Me to Sleep, #1)
By Gabi BurtonPublisher Description
In this dark and seductive YA fantasy debut, a siren must choose between protecting her family and following her heart in a prejudiced kingdom where her existence is illegal.
Saoirse Sorkova survives on lies. As a soldier-in-training at the most prestigious barracks in the kingdom, she lies about being a siren to avoid execution. At night, working as an assassin for a dangerous group of mercenaries, Saoirse lies about her true identity. And to her family, Saoirse tells the biggest lie of all: that she can control her siren powers and doesn't struggle constantly against an impulse to kill.
As the top trainee in her class, Saoirse would be headed for a bright future if it weren't for the need to keep her secrets out of the spotlight. But when a mysterious blackmailer threatens her sister, Saoirse takes a dangerous job that will help her investigate: she becomes personal bodyguard to the crown prince.
Saoirse should hate Prince Hayes. After all, his father is the one who enforces the kingdom's brutal creature segregation laws. But when Hayes turns out to be kind, thoughtful, and charming, Saoirse finds herself increasingly drawn to him-especially when they're forced to work together to stop a deadly killer who's plaguing the city. There's only one problem: Saoirse is that deadly killer.
Featuring an all Black and Brown cast, a forbidden romance, and a compulsively dark plot full of twists, this thrilling YA fantasy is perfect for fans of A Song Below Water and To Kill a Kingdom.

“This 100% lived up to my expectations. I've not read a siren/mermaid book in ages but I love the way it was incorporated into this story. There was intrigue, suspense and mystery. I wasn't sure of anyone's true intentions. I loved the found family dynamic and the reluctant friendships, this book was also wonderfully diverse. I devoured it and cannot wait for the next installment of the series!”

“I really enjoyed this book! Saoirse’s story is really interesting and her secrets made the story more fun to follow. In middle the pacing felt a little slow but it definitely picked up in the last quarter of the book. I’m excited to see where the story goes in the next book”

“I struggled with the pacing and repetition in this book. There were a lot of great ideas and the visualization was amazing which is why I kept reading. I’m still debating whether I’ll read the second book.”
