And now without further ado, let’s start with the post.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Colt Clemmons is an agent in a specialized division within the Bureau of Investigation—one that hunts down not just mobsters, but also monsters.

For reasons that are kept top secret, Colt is the only person who can resist a siren’s voice. But he’s never had a chance to test this ability. The last siren left in the world mysteriously disappeared years ago.

Then one night, with a single word, she reveals herself. It seems too good to be true.

And it is. Because nothing about this siren—her past, her powers, or her purpose—is what it seems…

Roaring is a unique book about a siren set in the 1920s and the journey was quite amazing. I haven’t read many books about sirens before, so I was positively surprised by this one.

We follow Colt who is an agent and is specialized in capturing mythical creatures before they harm human people. His task is to capture Eris, a siren who is well aware of her powers but who never learned to control them. She also didn’t know that she was a siren, she only knew that she could control people with her voice.

I have to admit, that I did have some troubles at the beginning to be pulled into the story but after a few chapters the magic did its work, and I am so glad that I pushed myself to read “Roaring”. The writing style and world-building were quite unique. I loved how the author described the 1920s setting as well as the characters of the book. One thing I liked a little bit less was the fact that we had 2 points of view. I would have preferred to read only Eris POV as I found it to be more interesting. But that’s only my personal opinion.

The romance was on point and not too much. Since the beginning, the reader knows that there is going to be some romance at some point and it was the perfect amount of time. Not too much and it especially didn’t steal the main storyline.

Overall, “Roaring” is a unique fantasy book. If you love the 1920s setting, the language of that time and sirens, then this is going to be your kind of book.
