Ocean's Rise (Book 4 in the Siren of War series) AUTO-NARRATED AUDIOBOOK

Quite a good story, although it does hold tragedy. Maria (Serina) continues to bloom both onshore and under the waves. William does well by her and I enjoyed meeting William's sister Sarah. So much happens in this story and yet the pace was slow and steady. I feel that it could have done with fewer sex scenes as, at least to me, they didn't really add to the plot. The ending was mildly satisfying and leaves me wondering where the story will lead next.Easy-to-read. Entertaining. Great world building. Haunting. Steamy. Tragic. Twisted. Unpredictable. Wonderful characters.I received a review copy of this book from a third party. This is my honest review.

Ocean's Rise is not the last book in the series! One more is coming that will wrap things up. :) I really enjoyed this story. Demelza has great world-building skills. Lots of sadness and anxiety in this story, but also plenty of fun scenes and images like motorcycle rides and canoodling. ;) I read an ARC of this book and am happy to offer this honest review.

This is the conclusion to Sirena/Maria's story. She is happy with William and pregnant with her daughter Belinda (Apalala). It's a bitter sweet tale of love, loss and finding one's true place in the world. It's a good read and fitting ending to her story. I volunteered to read this book.

I think the author has such an amazing gift for world building...I am so jealous! She completely immerses you in whatever world she is writing about...It is very different from any other author I have ever read (and I read A LOT)...Even though this was not the happy ending I thought we may get, it was still engaging and engrossing...

The moments of happiness seemed counted for Maria, the secrets weighed too much, and the danger loomed over the humans and her beloved William. The internal struggle had Maria overwhelmed but when tragedy strikes, she no longer has alternatives, the threat must be faced. Suspense, an intriguing character, family drama, amusing scenes, romance, heated passion and a twist that took me by surprise. What else is in store for Sirena? Voluntarily reviewed this copy that I liked.
