Recovering the Siren

By: Erin R Flynn

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Two questions have been on everyone’s mind since Division Chief Seraphine Thomas went missing on her way home from NYC: Who abducted her? How do we get her back? The answer to the first is layered, the repercussions of it no one can fully foresee. The second answer is probably a given considering how kickass Sera is. Though she can’t do it alone and the one who comes to help wasn’t who most would think. Especially because it’s not a simple rescue. At. All. Months have passed when she returns home, and only her training with the FBI and going undercover saves her from too much crashing down on her at once. Oh yeah, and she’s still dying. They don’t know how she’s still alive when her own body was eating itself to survive. The road to recovery will be difficult, but she has help, and she does the best she can, especially when betrayal hits her hard from a place she hoped it wouldn’t. Thankfully all that work she put into building a solid foundation for herself pays off because the paranormals of Chicago will need to pull together or everything they built could be lost. Seraphine Thomas is a crime series filled with Chicago attitude and a strong heroine that pushes what most would think a female lead capable of, along with the heat being involved with several men brings while trying to figure out what she wants.

Recovering the Siren is the tenth book in the Seraphine Thomas series by Erin R. Flynn.

The King is dead! Long Live the Queen! Okay, so obviously Vlad was never much of a King. I'm sad, like those who know he was a better Master than many worse options, that he never recovered from being used by one of the Dorcus line. Maybe that's why he couldn't seem to trust any of the good that Sera was building for the supernatural humans? That since he didn't realize he was being manipulated in the past, he was always questioning whether Sera was manipulating him? I'm not sure. I simply know he continued to spiral throughout this series, and the ending of his long life only highlighted how far he had fallen.

I love this book. Besides the horrors that Sera faced at the beginning of the book. One, I'm glad we weren't carried through the disgusting details of it all, ONCE AGAIN. Two, it gave her all of this time to simply BE. We ironed out many intricacies of the Council, and her alliances, which was helping in building a better foundation for this story. But we also got to move forward on a rather groundbreaking idea Sera has been concocting for a while.

I hope the Alliance she is the genius behind will do loads of good for supernaturals. It's difficult not to imagine all of the bad people that will try to tale advantage, like those that basically broadcasted their corruption by leaving the convention. But I'm being naively hopeful that there will be much more good wrought by her selfless deeds.

I am concerned about the manipulations of the Shifter Council. Everything they've been trying to do with her consorts and dating life, along with the new and equally annoying Wolf Councilman's nefarious designs on his new position. But there's also the alluded to trouble in South America to look forward to in the future.

Bijan is such an enjoyable character. I do so love the way he speaks to Sera. I wish there was a true chance he could become a mate to her because he is entirely too delicious and swoonworthy to simply be an every now and then relationship. I know that Sera's suitors all speak to her rather lovingly, but his poetry of devotion was honestly leagues above. Maybe with only Brian being the only true mate candidate that brings that same level of swoon to the equation
