Siren in the Rain

De: Chloe Archer

Narrado por: Joel Leslie

Who needs love when getting justice sounds so much sweeter…? Shae Silverstorm

Freedom is all I’ve dreamed about for the last fifteen years. When I see my chance to escape captivity, I have to take the risk. And for once, luck is on my side.

However, I have no doubt my captors are looking for me.

When I get approached by an eccentric group of misfits called MEOW Squad (don’t even ask) offering to keep me safe and help me get justice, I don’t have much choice but to accept.

The only problem? One of them has the bonkers notion that I’m his fated mate.

Fine. I’ll admit, Wolf Boy has a seriously hot surfer bod, not to mention unfairly cute furry ears and a tail. Talk about a deadly combo.But love is for suckers and fated mates aren't to be trusted. I've got proof of that. Taking down my evil father, wicked stepmonster, and cruel stepsister has to be my top priority.

But damn if Griffin isn’t starting to break through my strongest defenses though, with his puppy-dog eyes, sunshiny personality, and dog-like (pun intended) devotion to me.

Griffin McIntyre

When I find a magical gold coin straight out of Tolkien (sweet!), it tells me it’s my “Lucky Day.”

And that’s proven the moment I meet Shae because he’s my fated mate.

As a Wolfkin with empathic magic abilities, I was a disappointment to my old pack. Now, as a member of MEOW Squad, I use my powers to help those in need. And I’ve never met anyone who needs me more than Shae.

All I want is to help him heal and get the justice he deserves. Oh, and have him accept our mate bond. If I can conquer a ten-foot wave, then I can do this!

I’ll wait as long as it takes. Just like ice cream and apple pie, we’re meant to be.

Shae & Griffin

Shae & Griffin

I really enjoyed reading this one. While it is cute at different points, it does deal with some heavy issues. That doesn't take away from how enjoyable this story is. Griffin is so cute and the perfect mate to help grumpy Shae heal from what he's endured. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the other MEOW squad members get their happily ever after also. I enjoyed listening to this story even more than reading it. I absolutely loved Joel Leslie's narration for this.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion

I WANT MORE!!!

It's not often I pick up an audio before I've read the book, but this is one of those times. The only thing that bums me out about it is that I don't have any quotes handy to include in my review and there were so many funny moments I would have liked to share!

When we meet Shae, the half siren, he is just escaping from the terrible abuse and confinement he's suffered for years. I honestly felt so awful for him, especially since it was his own "family" that were behind it all. Shae is brought to the M.E.O.W squad headquarters for safety reasons where he promptly meets his fated mate, an exuberant himboesque wolfkin named Griffin. As you can probably guess, Shae is in no way shape or form ready to have anything to do with being a fated mate. In fact, he doesn't even know if he believes in them.

Griffin, being the absolutely LOVABLE guy he is, doesn't take too long to convince Shae to at least spend some time together. I loved how understanding and patient Griffin was. all he cared about was his mate's happiness and comfort. He did everything he could to help Shae on his journey of healing. It was so sweet.

I want more from this world. I don't even care who is next cause I want them all. Well, that's a tiny fib. I think my heart has landed on hoping for Harper next. I'm a sucker for a vampire romance and I love how kind, yet vicious Harper can be. Either way I hope there is more to come in this universe and soon!

Loved the relationship and world

Loved the world building and relationship that was developed. Also loved meeting all the side characters friends and family. Very much enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read more from this author

Wolfkin Roll!

Joel Leslie was perfection with this narration! So much laughing and smiling here! Griffin was the biggest, simply most lovable wolfkin ever. He was all sun, hearts and rainbows for his Siren mate Shae. Shae was a bit grumpy over the entire thing which made it so much fun. Shae had his reasons to not leap in and trust others. He hides behind his snark and tries to avoid feelings. But I enjoyed that Griffin in his efforts to keep his Shae safe he also gave Shae the chance to let his walls down and let him in. I adored Griffin more than the words I can type here. Looking forward to maybe some more MEOW Love in the future!

wolf boy for the win

I absolutely love Joel Leslie. He does an amazing job of bringing a story to life.
Griff has got to be my new favorite character. He is so sweet and caring and perfect for Shae. Shae has so much to overcome but he still manages to be everything Griff needs, with a side of snarky.
I am so looking forward to more from the Meow squad.

Sweet and Feel good

New Review! Siren in the Rain (#12 Fortune Favors the Fae) by @chloearcher_author as narrated by @jojofro1

This is actually my second Joel narrated title in a short span and let me tell you the double take I had to make when I got an earful of the accents used for the M.E.O.W squad haha SHE HAS THE RANGE DARLING!

I’m a BIG BIG BIG fan of this title since it was released and I had BIG BIG BIG expectations for how much passion I expected from the characters when they were narrated and I was happy to report that Joel NAILED IT!

Shae is SWEET! Griff is an EXCITED SURFER PUPPY! Papa Bear is FULL LEADER! Harper is mysterious and chic! Ruby and Emma are DARLING! and Cal is just BALLER!

I was just pleased with everyone and my personal fave??? HAKU. Joel’s take on Shae’s lil drake is just SO FREAKING PRECIOUS I CANNOT EVEN. Perfect. No notes.

Anywhozle. If this is your first go round, Shae is a half siren who has been imprisoned by his step mom and his evil father and used for his siren song. With the help of his friend and a ragtag bunch of Otherkind, he is freed from his confinement and taken to safety where he is met with his fated mate, a seggsy Wolfin surfer bóy.

Initially refusing the match, he focuses on healing and getting revenge, while his mate uses a mysterious gold coin to guide his actions into wooing his newly found mate.

Their courtship is SO cute but also sweet since the surfer wolfkin is also an empath and has calming pheromones and so much of their communication is about agency, physical and mental healing after trauma and dealing with PTSD.

It’s a wonderfully sweet read with amazing side characters with a feel good found family at its core

Shae has been held in captivity for the past fifteen years and when he finally escapes all he wants to find is his freedom instead he finds freedom, his mother's family and his fated mate, Griffin, who may be a little more than Shae can handle.⁣
⁣
OMG! Griffin is just the most adorable himbo ever and I want to cuddle him and give him ear scratches all day. He has officially become my new favourite Chloe Archer book boyfriend. I love how he stood by Shae's side and constantly cheered him on. Once Shae heals, he and Griffin are absolutely amazing together.⁣
⁣
I cannot wait for more from this amazing found family of eccentric Otherkind. I have a feeling this is going to be a thoroughly entertaining series.⁣

🎧 Joel Leslie did an amazing job bringing this book and the characters to life. Griffin became even more adorable.⁣

I loved this story

I absolutely adored the character of Griffin in this. He is such a big goofball with a heart of gold. He was the perfect mate for Shae to prove that he could beyond his family’s treatment of him. This story was also a good fit int the Far Coin series. It was one of my favorites. Also…Joel Leslie. He is one of the best!

just perfect

Chloe has paired with Joel Leslie, has the narrator for this, and omg, he is the perfect choice! He has a way of making the emotions stronger for these men who were made to be together. Brings in the right sass when needed and the true pain when needed. It's perfect work. I'm so happy to see this pairing and hope to see it happen again in the future.

From reading all of Chloes' previous works, you know she can write, but wow, she proves to us in this how diverse of a writer she truly is. Yes, you still get the chaos of her previous works in this, but now you see the angst of a broken past righted.
Shae has been held captive for the last fifteen years, and this is his tale of finally being free and falling in love at the same time. His past has left him understandably jaded, so it's no surprise it takes a loveable wolfkin to break down those barriers. Griff is a beautifully excitable, slightly himbo surfer wolfkin who will do everything and anything for his fated mate. He shows a true honor in the way he allows Shae to set the pace of their relationship. These two have undeniable chemistry from the getgo, yet it takes time to get there.
With the help of the MEOW team, Shae gets his well-deserved vegence of the family that wronged him in so many ways. The story is fun and emotional tale from start to finish in Shaes new free life. The MEOW team is a loveable buch of characters that I hope to see more of in the future, to find their hea as well.

Nice Listen!

Siren in the Rain is a cute story based on the Cinderella premise. Main character, Shae, has been abused gets away and quickly meets the MEOW squad and in the same instance his fated mate. The story follows Shae and Girffin’s slow burn relationship, but it also focuses on the MEOW squad and the relationship they have with each other. It easy to get attached to them as well, but I enjoyed how the story focuses on Shae’s healing and his reluctance for a mate. This book felt a bit long and silly at certain moments, but overall a satisfying read! Joel Leslie as always does a fantastic job with his voice work especially when doing some of the accents in this world!

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this audiobook.
