Synopsis
Julia’s world was turned upside down last year. She had to abandoned her life at New York… well we could say she had to leave her life on earth as we know it to save her life. As a result she found out her father had kept a dimension full of secrets all her life.
Now after surviving some quality time with her mother, Julia is ready for another school year at her other dimension boarding school. What she doesn’t expect is that her appearance starts to change in drastic ways, her shifting abilities decrease and the fact that she is cursed force her to leave school and go to Serenity.
 Review
Heather found a way to twist the story into a way that I hadn’t expected. When I read the title I was super excited, what could a shapeshifter have to do with a siren? How would Caleb and Terrence fit into this story? What more does Ossai have to offer?
It was nice to see the characters and the story that made this book memorable to me, to walk in Heather Ostler’s New York, Ossai and Lockham Castle.
The direction this story took was really unexpected; it gave me another sense of Ossai and all we haven’t discovered, not only in all the land we still don’t know but all the problems and races that live in it.
This book gets three broken TV’s because even though I enjoyed the story, there were some setbacks the most important one was that I was expecting a bigger growth from the author on this second installment of the Shapeshifter’s Secret. The second thing, and this may just be me guys, is that at some points of the conversation it felt robotic, like the character was just retelling what had just happened or responding in a way totally expected.
I hope you give The Siren’s Secret a try and make the decision for yourself.
