Dana has been living with her father in Avalon for a while now and there is never a dull moment. Dana and her father attend a party hosted by Prince Henry and he invites them on a trip to see the Queen. Invite is a strong word, they have go to otherwise it's disrespectful and could start a fight.

Dana insists to her father that she be escorted by her friends Ethan and his sister Kimber. Her father lets them come but is a little unsure of it, but he figures Ethan can also watch her back and protect her. Of course Finn and his son Keane are also coming. I loved how much we see of her friends in this novel. I loved how her relationship with Ethan is growing and Keane is also around more. I still want to see more of Keane! But even though we know he had a crush on Dana, he is now focusing his attention more on Kimber.

They start on their journey and figure they will be save with Henry's entourage since nobody would dare attack them! Of course things do not go as planned and they do get attacked. We also realize that Erlking is still around and is following Dana.

Erlking is a mysterious character. We know that he looks out for himself and if its in his best interest, he'll do it. But he protects Dana a lot more than he has too. He kind of feels an allegiance to her I suppose. Even though we're supposed to fear him and loathe him, I always find myself liking him and his sense of humor. He makes things more interesting. We also see more of Dana's brother who is in the Wild Hunt.

Once, they all get to the Queen's there is an attack and Dana is the one whose at blame since she's the only one who can carry technology in. So they all run, even though she's innocent.

They are on the run with nowhere to go! How did the technology get in? What happens when Erlking decides he wants Dana to himself and sends Ethan after her? Will the romance ever go further with Ethan because once Dana gives her virginity up, since Erlking can step in and own her power? Is it worth it? Does Dana become a better fighter? Does she live or die? Read the book now!

Overall: Loved Sirensong! I think I loved this one more than the first two. The trip to the Queen's was interesting. They are on the move a lot so lots of things happen. She sees weird things she's never seen before. When Dana is wanted by the Queen, she is quite brave and does anything she has to in order to survive. We also see her powers developing more and realize just what she can do! I loved Sirensong, I hope you do too!

Cover: She's so pretty! I also love how she is leaning down on her hands.

What I'd Give It: 5/5 Cupcakes

I thought that this was a very good end to the trilogy, and a good personal arc for Dana.

We get to see Faerie, there is lots of courtly intrigue, some romance, a lot of running, and all of Dana's secrets come out. I'm glad that the love triangle never played out. Everything is also not roses there either - Dana is unsure about her future with Ethan and I find that very realistic for...more

But considering I gave it 3 stars, that doesn't exactly speak well of the books, now, does it? This series has been one of the rare ones in which I've found the good guys (male and female alike) to be largely whiny, adolescent, and altogether annoying, and the bad guys tend to be caricatures. With the exception of the Erlking, the bad guys tend to be purely evil, with no redeeming qualities that would make them seem...for lack of a better word, human.

Take Henry in this book (oh, and Elizabeth? Could you possibly be any more obvious with the naming, Ms. Black?), he is a parody. It may be possible that I read too many Regencies, but I picture him as a foppish Beau Brummel type, with a pencil-on beauty mark and white powdered face, and he's written as such a jerk that really, it doesn't take a brain bigger than that of a goldfish to figure out who's behind the big mystery here.

And the guys, ugh, it got so bad that I'd rather date Dana's dad out of all the other options in the book. I mean, he's a bit stiff, but he's immortal, and Fae, so looks and age are not a factor here. Plus, he's mature, responsible, and he's had a few millennia to tame all that alpha male testonerone that Keane and Ethan can't keep under control. Good god, those two. I just want them to go at it and KO each other out already; they're intolerable enough by themselves, throw them in with each other and the f-s (fists and f-cks) just fly all over the damn place. Just kill each other and be done with it. They're like Abercrombie & Fitch models; nice to look at, but you wouldn't actually want to have a conversation with them, you know?

Kimber--I HATE that name, by the way, it reminds me of an overtly cheerful yoga intructionist that I just want to punch in the face when she's chirping at me to lift my ass higher as my muscles scream in protest, which actually isn't too far off from the character of Kimber herself. Oh, right. Kimber. Most annoying friend ever. I actually don't hate Dana as much now that I think of it. Surrounded by all these terrible people, she cannot be blamed for her lack of intellectual and rational skill development. The alcoholic mother is the least of her problems.(less)

Okay don't get tired of my top ratings each has it's reasons behind it. I promise.

This one just had to. And although this is a work of fiction I have to be impressed that the author still brought in a very real topic of alcoholism that many shy from. How Dana deals with her mom and concludes at the end made that component very real.

Dana is bound by a contract of sorts to one person you just don't want to be committed to the Erlking. And that's just one of her problems. A lot of secrets and lies...more

She has limited magic ability, is half fae and half human and is currently heavily guarded as both queens of faerie want her dead.

When Dana is invited to the land of faerie to be presented at court, she doesn't want to go. Queen Titiana has made it no secret that she would prefer Dana dead. But Dana's father tells Dana that she will be safe, that no harm will come to her, and he really doesn't believe that Queen Titania is the one behind the attacks on Dana's life.

Dana goes, under the guardianship of Prince Henry's entourage, but she takes her boyfriend Ethan with her, along with her best friend Kimber and her defense coach, Keane. She worries about her friends, especially Ethan and Keane, as they despise one another. Also, Kimber has a big crush on Keane.

Dana is attacked once on the journey to the palace, but the Erkling, leader of the Wild Hunt, comes to her aid. He takes her back to her father and friends, unscathed. But when they arrive at the palace, exhausted and hungry, there is no time to rest. They are to have dinner with one of the princesses. However, immediately upon entering the dining area, a bomb goes off. Dana is quickly rushed away by her father and friends and as she is told, runs as fast as she can.

At first, she is confused, but then she realizes that only a Faeriewalker could bring a bomb, a human made weapon, into faerie, and that she will be the first person accused. Dana, Ethan, Kimber and Keane begin a long journey back home to Avalon, but the dogs are quickly hunting them. Will they make it in time, or will they find out who really murdered the princess to clear Dana's name?

SIRENSONG is another great action-packed adventure filled with faeries, immortal creatures, romance and mystery. Dana is a superb character trying to find her path in the world, although she belongs to both faerie and human. Juggling her alcoholic mother, the person out to kill her, the Erkling who has marked her and her blossoming relationship with Ethan merge together into a thrilling and magical read. Unfortunately, to this disappointed reader, SIRENSONG is the last in the series. I will miss this wonderful world and its charming and complex characters. If you haven't read the first two books in the series, they are GLIMMERGLASS and SHADOWSPELL.

With some stray comments I saw, and with the epilogue, I suppose this would be the last book in the Faeriewalker series. In response to that, let's just say that

I am not happy!

I thought Sirensong was an arresting novel from start to end. The only reason I was able to stop before I hit page 100 was because 1. I'd just finished Shadowspell before I started on Sirensong and so 2. I must restrict the quantity of goodness I was being exposed to. 3. It was late, and I'd promised myself to sleep early...more

Despite the increased scope of the setting, I felt that the events themselves weren't as interesting as in previous books. I think this arises from how the story receives what seems to be such a dire conflict, but it's resolved so simply and quickly. It doesn't help that we spend about 1/2 to 3/4 of the books traveling, with little to no conflict involved.

In A Nutshell:
Since I read Glimmerglass for the first time, I have been enchanted by this series. I loved the magical world that Jenna Black created. I loved the characters, the adventure, even the love stories. But the element I found completely unique to this series was Jenna Black’s open and honest description of the effects an alcoholic can have on every aspect of the lives of people around him/her. I marvel that Jenna Black was able to fit this message into this series without it feeling preachy or moral-driven. It is fun and it is magical.

Review:
Sirensong seems to be the end of the series, and I have to say I will miss these characters. I found Jenna Black’s world enchanting and her characters honest and memorable. However, as I looked back on the series after I finished Sirensong, it was not the magic, the faeries, Avalon, or even the love stories that stood out to me. It was Jenna Black's honest and open description of Dana’s life as the child of an alcoholic, and how that affected Dana’s life and decisions. I do not want to insinuate that Jenna Black wrote this series with the primary intent of presenting a message about alcoholism, but I do want to commend her on handling this issue the way she did.

Originally, I questioned Dana’s continued willingness to repeatedly disregard advice of her family and friends, which usually led to her putting herself in harm’s way to save them. Is the best solution to sacrifice yourself? However, as I looked at this question within the context of this story and the character of Dana, I realized for Dana the solutions in the book were the best. Dana was a product of her childhood which was filled with loneliness caused by constant moves and shame caused by hiding the secret of an alcoholic mother. It affected the choices that Dana made. It affected how she related to people. It affected how Dana valued the first set of friends she had in her life. I liked the character of Dana, so it was sometimes hard to watch her make the decisions she did; to repeatedly risk her own life and happiness to save another. But that was who Dana was and her decisions showed how devoted she was to the people in her life. At the end of Sirensong, I was glad to see that Kimber took Dana to Alateen meetings. I would hope that with support Dana would learn her own value so she did not feel she should allows sacrifice herself for another.

The one issue I had with the series is that the girls seemed to be very critical of themselves, while the boys were presented as near perfect. Kimber, who is an academic genius, can only focus on her mediocre magical skills. Dana, who is a wonderful singer, always feels unattractive compared to the magically attractive full-blooded Fae that surround her. However, Ethan, whose temper is part of why he ends up in the Wild Hunt, knows he is magically gifted and thinks he is almost invincible. Keane, who harbors a lot of resentment about—well everything, has declined his calling as a knight. The standard of a successful girl with high self-esteem seems to be much harder to reach than the standard for the boys.

Overall, I loved the series though. The magical spell that Jenna Black casts took me in and despite the seemingly unending danger, I wish I could visit Avalon and bring Dana some coffee. (less)

Even though the voice in this novel was significantly better than it’s previous there were still lines such as, “She looked at my hand like it was a dog turd and she didn’t want to touch it.” (Page 280) That line literally made me burst into laugher.

Finally, Black takes us into Faerie! Dana has been summoned to appear before the queen of the Seelie court and she takes a small entourage with her, which is pretty much everyone she knows in Avalon save her alcoholic mother. I was ecstatic to learn about Faerie and I don’t feel like Black disappointed at all in her delivery of this fictional realm. The Green lady was one of my favorite and creative creatures of Faerie.

I feel as if the sexual themes in this series have not been very consistent. In the first novel we have reference to sex. Then, jump to the second novel where you have the bargaining of giving up virginity, near rape, and erect nipples. Finally, in the third novel there are all these build ups that lead no where because in the end *spoiler* we find out that Dana isn’t ready to have sex. Groan! *End Spoiler Alert*

The Erlking is probably one of my favorite characters. How hot and sexy is that guy? I’m not sure I have thought of a character in a book before as hot and sexy but the Erlking definitely fits that description. I thought Ethan had great character development over the course of the three books even though this only spans like two months. It is sort of unbelievable that one character can change so much is such a short period of time.

I really wish Black would give her readers more credit and not stop to explain every minute detail. Yes, we get it the Fae are beautiful and yes we get it your mother is an alcoholic. And is it too much to ask to have a pretty protagonist? Does any one really believe that a girl who wears khaki pants and a button up to a ball would attract the attention from Keane, Ethan, AND the Erlking? No one even dresses like that any more!

I wish she would elevate her writing style and slightly alter her voice but oh well....the book really is what it is. Jenna Black had a story to tell and I sure found it interesting enough. Despite the turd remarks and comments to “get the hell out of Dodge” the book was a pretty solid success I would say.

I was even moved to tears once as Dana dealt with the struggles of her mother. I liked how nothing really resolved with Dana’s mother, it was sad but realistic. Other than that, I wish Black had given us a better ending not one that seemed so neatly tied up. Is it too much to ask for a little romance?

Overall, once again I think the books are appropriate for older teens and is a fun and interesting read. There is only so much I expected out of this novel, after all I did read the first two and so I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. The book is super fast so even if it is a waste of time it doesn’t waste much at least. I do wish she had chosen to continue this series. I think she could have gone on for quite a while.

The Faeriewalker series finally comes to a close with Sirensong. I enjoyed reading this entire series as a whole and I'm sad to see it go, but I believe it did have a satisfying end. Dana as a character never stopped to amaze me, in the face of everything she always puts the lives of her family and friends above her own and despite that she still has flaws like any normal human.

I also enjoyed seeing Dana's relationship with her friend Kimber and father develop, from the start of the series you would never expect Dana to be the kind of person to get close to others but you see that change as the story progresses. All the characters had their unique personalities, even if they were only side characters, which I found makes a book seem more real.

I loved reading Glimmerglass and Shadowspell the two books before this, and this one did not disappoint. It was just as a great read (if not better). What I also found interesting about this series is that the existence of fey was known. Which sets it apart from all the other fairy books I read.

The only thing I disliked is that Dana ended up with Ethan. I never liked Ethan. He always seemed superficial and shallow to me, although I do agree he's changed quite a lot through the course of the book that still doesn't change my dislike for him. I would have preferred Dana ended up with Keane but it was plainly obvious that wasn't going to happen. Also I wish we could have gotten to know Conner, Dana's brother, a bit more.

I rated it a four instead of a five because of my dislike for Ethan, which I suppose is more of a taste of characters. Despite this I still recommend Sirensong, as I said before it did have a satisfying ending and if you haven't read this series than you really need to give it a try. (less)

Dana’s royal escort is the queen’s son, Henry, a pompous jerk who hates Dana’s dad and, by extension, Dana. Going along with Dana and her dad to Faerie are Ethan, Kimber, Keane and Finn. Dana is worried about her mom, who will be on her own for possibly several weeks, going back to drinking. She’s also worried, rightly, about someone trying to kill her as they travel through Faerie to the queen’s palace, even though her father has assured her that Titiana’s protection will be enough to stop anyone from making an attempt on the Faeriewalker’s life.

Shortly after reaching the castle, a journey which, as Dana expected, is eventful, an attempt is made on the queen’s granddaughter’s life. Dana is framed and has to go on the run with Ethan, Kimber and Keane. I figured that the whole book would be spent trying to figure out exactly who wanted to kill the princess, Elaine, but it wasn’t, which I was glad about. That leaves Dana to try and figure out how to escape to Avalon and maybe prove her innocence. She’ll have to if she ever wants to stay there, because the queen has given the Erlking the right to hunt Dana.

Overall, I liked this book quite a bit. However, the ending felt a bit rushed; it seemed like it could have used at least a couple more chapters and I’d’ve gladly taken another book. For example, (view spoiler) I also would’ve like a little more, I don’t know, conflict or confrontation, with the Erlking. Finally, Dana’s mom drove me nuts and I thought too much space was wasted on her. Yes, I can only imagine what it’s like to have an alcoholic parent. I’m sure it’s a hell of a lot more frustrating and anger inducing than the book even depicted, but I still could’ve done without her so much. Like I said, it really seemed like the book needed at least a couple more chapters and even a little more character progression or development, but I liked the series and would definitely recommend it.(less)

Jenna Black does it again! The more I read the Faeriewalker series the more I love it! In "Sirensong" Dana Hathaway has been given a command invitation from the Seelie Queen Titania to visit her in Faerie. The invitation is delivered to Dana via the arrogant Prince Henry who not only dislikes Dana but her father as well.

Although protections have been promised to Dana and her father on their pilgrimage, Dana cannot shake the feeling that she is in danger. Therefore, she enlists the assistance of...more

This series is seriously starting to just make me super giddy and happy when I read it. I know this is odd but there is something about the Erlking that makes me think he could give Ethan a run for his money if he really tried and stopped with all his backward double talk and whatnot. I think that Dana and Ethan are a great couple, and so are Kimber and Keane. (I mean REALLY, who didn't see that coming??) But I have this odd feeling like something has to happen between Dana and Ethan and the Erl...more

A lot of things bugged me during the reading of this book, but I'll only name a few. I got really sick of the repetitiveness of issues, such as 'I can never have sex with Ethan and it's oh so hard' (or not hard at all..excuse my inappropriateness). It wasn't the fact that it was an issue that bothered me, it was more the fact that the same thing was being said over and over again. It was similar with Dana and her mother's alcohol problem. As soon as anything at all was mentioned to do with alcoh...more
