The guards are not her friend, and while she may be “dealing” with one, he can’t protect her from the consequences if her actions become any more blaring and the Warden decides to take action. She’s in a prison and I feel that she needs to be reminded of that. I honestly enjoyed the sex scenes, but I felt like Selena is letting her hormones control her more than they should. My mind immediately went to a certain character, but she doesn’t seem to think at all. Also, I felt that she was a bit…”dim” with her first encounter with the mouse. I would say “or not have taken the item with her” but then the story would gone down a different path than intended obviously because with that item she had nothing really to bargain with. She saw his reaction and I felt that she should have bargained better. I felt that she should have handled things differently. The first is when she has her solo meeting with the Warden. I have to say though that Selena does disappoint me a few times in this book. LOL There are some unique twists and surprises in this book which help it be really hard to put down. Let me just say this…I honestly hope Julian ends up getting a good smack in the future. I was briefly disappointed, but my curiosity was piqued so I pushed onward with the story. Well, that’s not the path the authors choose to take and instead go a different direction. When she comes into her powers I’m expecting…hoping…that she will take a certain path/course of action that will lead to a truly justifiable reason for her being sent to the prison. Selena starts out piquing my interest in her as a character. Siren Condemned is an engaging paranormal prison novel with some steamy scenes that will have you fanning yourself even in winter. But there is more to her punishment, but a twist of fate is going to lead her down a path that she doesn’t expect. Her punishment? Nightmare Penitentiary…one of the darkest prisons and where the worst criminals were sent…and she’s being sent for a YEAR. Selena has now come of age and the vampire named Julian has come to claim what is “his.” He takes what is most precious to her after she has only had it for a brief time, but she gives away the next most precious so that he can never claim it. They use them for their own endgames and take what means the most to the sirens. In a unique and unexpected twist of fate…the vampires are the “sharks” to the sirens. These two authors introduce us to world full of fae, vampires, shifters, sirens and other paranormal creatures. I have been eagerly anticipating these twists on paranormal stories so I was eager to dive into this book about a young siren and the mess she finds herself in by a not so small act of rebellion that costs her her freedom and before long…could threaten her very life if she’s not careful. Siren Condemned is the first book in the Thief of Hearts series and part of a Paranormal Prison collection. Siren Condemned is the beginning of a new series authored together by C.R. This one was a bust for me and I will not be continuing on with this story any further though I do still plan to read more set in this Nightmare prison world. I finally decided to throw in the towel at 61% when a certain intimate scene came out of left field so abruptly and rather than running for the hills Selena was actively encouraging it though she had no idea of her fellow inmate's name even. I also, unfortunately, didn't feel any connection with any of the characters and found this choppy and at times a tad confusing with no clear and concise direction within the storyline itself. Yeh Selena was sent to the prison but it wasn't an assignment more of a punishment and she wasn't on any gung-ho mission to free a species she was just trying to survive day by day in her new nightmare existence.Īlso, I know Selena was a siren and as such attracts all sorts of unwanted attention but I found it highly tiresome that everyone and their dog wanted a bite of the cookie. Then I thought the blurb itself was totally misleading and didn't correlate with what was happening a tall. So firstly I didn't realise that this was not a complete story rather than the start of one to be continued at a later date, I thought we were getting a complete novel. This one involves Sirens and Its Reverse Harem. This series is paranormal prison and involves various authors writing on a loosely based theme. This is the second book I have read involving the nightmare penitentiary.
