Could you give me a synopsis?

[Kaje]

I'm assuming this is the same book you assured me was appropriate for Young-Adult titles, readers under the age of 18 (and older readers who don't want graphic or explicit sex and violence.)

I want to reiterate that if a book has 18+ content we don't post or link it here, although authors of such books (which include most of mine) are more than welcome to participate. Sorry - I get hung up on the fact that the blurb starts with "sexual pursuits".

[Anne]

Yes...and I say this because I have been told by erotic readers that the book is much too tame, and is NOT erotic romance. They are sirens, but very little of the book is about sex...it is a free adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Return of the Native.

The novel is a new take on speculative fiction, treating real coming-of-age issues of choice for modern young women and meanwhile weaving a cautionary tale of paranormal romance and terror set in the distant past.
This is the story of a group of sirens, told in part by the ghost of the main character, Cassandra. The sirens are creatures who are part human but who have strange powers and skills. Cassandra's love life in the Old West results in a curse which passes down the generations.
A family of paranormal women, an ancient lineage of sirens in human form, are threatened by extinction, unless Marlena, the youngest, carries her pregnancy to term in 1977. Cassandra, the siren ghost, tells Marlena her own story, how back in 1900 in Wyoming, she followed her passion rather than a code of human values. Falling into a trap, she brought on the family curse and disaster. Now the men loved by the sirens are in danger of an untimely end.
Genre: paranormal historical-romance
Age Group: 16+
