Find out how Saskia de la Cruz became a reporter for paranormal newspaper The Blood Web Chronicle in this delicious prequel novella.
Saskia is a Verity Witch - her only magic being that she can tell the truth from a lie.
When she sets off for the glitzy shores of Malibu to spend spring break with her sister Mikayla, her one goal is to forget her university worries and issues with outdated witch hierarchies, and drown them in surfer six-packs and tequila cocktails.
But when local influencers and male models start washing up ashore, drained of their youth, Saskia knows something wicked dwells in the deep. Which is perfectly fine because she plans on staying the hell away from the water! That is until her powerful, siren-obsessed sister disappears, and the search leads Saskia deeper than she ever thought possible.
Accompanied by beautiful but suspicious surfers Eden and Zee, Saskia will have to travel for her answers to the home of Hollywood’s vainest residents - the ocean floor.
Review
Sirens Of Los Angeles by Caedis Knight is the prequel novella to Vampires of Moscow. Set is sun kissed Malibu California this book sets the stage for The Blood Web Chronicles series. This novella was so enjoyable I devoured it in one sitting. Sirens of Los Angeles is an engaging, fast paced, page-turning thrill ride, full of secrets, magic, sexy romance, sirens, beautiful beaches, and provocative humor. There are themes of sisterhood, dealing with familial pressure, self discovery, love, betrayal, strength and perseverance.
There is so much to unpack! Let's start with the world building. Caedis Knight has created a lush vivid contemporary world that has a complex magical system, super scary and super sexy monsters! This unique story is not only beautifully written, it is full of diverse, complex, interesting characters. Saskia as a main character is relatable and endearing. She's not perfect and she's vulnerable, but she never gives up. I found myself fully invested in her and rooting for her every step of the way. For my fellow monster mavens, there is so much paranormal goodness going on I can hardly stand it! We get witches, weres, sirens, vamps....you name it! I am so looking forward to meeting more of these creatures in future books!
If you are a fan of sadistic sirens, witty witches, steamy romance, sisterhood, action, mysteries, page turning suspense, and a diverse offering of paranormal creatures, then go read this book! Sirens of Los Angeles is available for purchase from all major booksellers. I give Sirens of Los Angeles 4 out of 5 gems. I cannot wait to read more stories in this series! Happy Reading!
