Product Information

And the prince seems to be fascinated by her for some reason. The more she tries to shake him off, the more he tries to get closer. And her resolve to hate all the Royals and keep away from the prince slowly crumbles the more time she spends with him and gets to know him better. He's different from the rest of the Royal family - he's kind, compassioned, tries to understand, isn't prejudiced against other races, and most importantly, he listens to Saoirse and tries to make changes with his limited power. They also need to join hands and find the killer of his friend... Saoirse is the last siren in her kingdom. With a deadly melody, she can sing any man to an early grave. By day, she’s disguised as a fae in her kingdom’s army. By night, she’s an assassin for dangerous mercenaries. When she’s forced to accept a job guarding Crown Prince Hayes, she expects to despise him. Instead, she finds herself increasingly drawn to him – especially when they must work together to find a deadly killer plaguing the city. The only problem: Saoirse is that deadly killer.

Trapped by her deadly double life, Saoirse can’t leave the palace until she saves her sister . . . but who will save her from herself? Saoirse should hate Prince Hayes. After all, his father is the one who enforces the kingdom’s brutal creature-segregation laws. But when Hayes turns out to be kind, thoughtful, and charming, Saoirse finds herself increasingly drawn to him—especially when they’re forced to work together to stop a deadly killer who’s plaguing the city. There’s only one problem: Saoirse is that deadly killer. Hayes, our sweet Prince, was an interesting character. I don't usually get intrigued by such characters, meaning the innocent, unhappy privileged kind. But something about Hayes made me like him instantly. It's partly thanks to the Hayes effect and partly the author's incredible writing. He also had a beautiful character development. He didn't lose his sweet demeanor, but he grew up (the hard way). It was so full of depth and the world was rich with history and lore. The magic system was elemental, with Fae as well as other magical creatures. I really really loved how Saoirse could taste emotions. It meant I could truly feel each and every interaction of hers.And the prince is like speaking of evil, my dad’s the worst. I have daddy issues because he loved my brother more than me. And Ariel is like I didn’t know you had a brother. And the Prince is like oh yeah, I don’t. He was murdered probably. And she’s like did you just say probably? And he shrugs and is like I don’t know. It’s only book one. The author needs some plot twists for the rest of this series, okay? Why are his motivations even in question? The royal family killed his mom. That’s not really something you get over. As a siren, Saoirse can physically taste emotions, and this adds a layer to her character that allows us a further window into her reasoning. She can taste her sister’s fear, she can taste the disappointment of her loved ones when they realize what she has done, and so her decisions are influenced by that emotional connection she has to those around her. It makes for a fascinating internal struggle that draws you in and demands you read on.

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an eARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review! The relationship between these two was everything! They were so different but the way they bounced of each other kept bringing both to a greater height. They both became better due to the other, which was pure and amazing. I loved how Hayes wanted to learn more about her, how Saoirse kept her walls up but Hayes chipped them away bit by bit. The progression felt so real and natural to these characters! I can’t wait to see more of this progression in the sequel! But, she will do whatever it takes to protect her sister, even if it means guarding the royal family she hates. It never rubs me the right way when we have main characters that are just chill with slavery, but it seems extra wrong when those characters are people of color.Sing Me to Sleep is a story about Saoirse, a siren in hiding, protecting her little sister by going to work for the crown prince.
