Tina Smith and Wolf Sirens: Forbidden.
Wolf Sirens: Forbidden
by Tina Smith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
When Lila unwillingly moves to the country
town of Shade
Lila
falls in with a group of intriguing teenagers with luminescent eyes and soon
she is drawn into the shadowlands of fantasy and reality, where destiny
collides.
A
mysterious local girl, Cresida, warns her to stay away, but Lila is drawn to
them like a moth to a flame.
Cresida
knows their fatal secret and she is honour-bound to protect those who are
endangered. But she underestimates Lila’s passion for the mysterious and
charismatic clan of youths. Lila begins to feel a call she cannot ignore. Yet
her heart is filled with vulnerable desires that begin to turn the underworld
upside down, for both hunter and hunted, as she learns they have been waiting
for her…
Inspired
by the legend of the mythical femme fatale, Wolf Sirens is an intimate tale of
unrequited and forbidden love in the underworld, a masterpiece of romance
fantasy.

Excerpt:
Sam
flitted about as usual making sure all was well. She made sure her best friend’s funeral ran
smoothly and I thought it was a pleasant touch that she insisted Lily’s
favourite music was played, though I’m sure the gathering thought it was odd
that a teenager would love Elvis and the Supremes.
I
hoped, though I couldn’t be sure, that the rest of the pack, her real family,
had a private funeral. One without the orchestration, one where their feelings
were real. I didn’t cry at the funeral.
Maybe I tried but my eyes were dry. In the night as I lay my head on the pillow
I remembered sections of the funeral and as I thought of Sam laying the flowers
on her coffin my eyes swelled and all the pain that was absent or numb was real
again. I had no one to hold me, but neither did Lily. I wanted the world to
swallow me up whole. After missing two weeks of school in the morning we hit
practice - now for Lily’s memory or at least that’s what Sam told the concerned
faculty. But really it was for herself, to save her own skin; did she feel
guilty like me? We all had to attend group counseling in which we all agreed to
continue to practice for calisthenics dance finals, in Lily’s memory. And for a
time she indeed did haunt the school hall in which we practiced. As a temporary
memorial an enormous portrait photograph marooned in flowers leant crookedly
against the stage. And she smiled at us with a blank look in her eyes while we
danced without her, over the spot where she had died.

Giveaway:
Tina will be awarding jewelry in theme of her book (wolf charms, charm bracelets etc), ThreeD book marks in shifter themes (Wolves, tigers, panthers etc) and Sun catchers (beaded glass and crystal) to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour, and a free ebook version of each of her novels and a Sun catcher to a randomly drawn host. (this is an international giveaway).
My Thoughts:
Nicely written. The characters and the setting come alive with the author's vivid imagination and descriptive language. The characters are not created flawless - which makes them all the more real as teens in high school. The idea is a bit of a twist for a shifter/werewolf story - which is refreshing. Well worth the read.
