Andrew Grayson thought he had everything… until he met her.

The indulged son of wealthy parents, Andrew has always gotten whatever he wanted almost before he knew he wanted it—clothes, gadgets… even a car! What more could a young man desire?

Enter Annabel Thompson. Freakshow mermaid extraordinaire… in a wheelchair!

Of course, her beauty attracts him. How could it not? Add to that a kind heart, and Andrew can’t help but fall for her.

Annabel’s connection with the freakshow repels his parents and their society friends. They want him to sever all ties with her and his new friends. Oh, and marry the “right” girl with the “right connections.” But he won’t do it. He’ll defy them and marry his little mermaid.

When Annabel turns up missing, declared dead, things don’t add up, Andrew begins asking some difficult questions, the most important being, “What happened to the little mermaid of the Coney Island freak show?”

Find out in this next book in the Ever After Mysteries, combining beloved fairy tales and mysteries. Silencing the Siren offers a retelling of “The Little Mermaid” that will keep you gripped to the edge of your seat as you watch the story unfold.

About the Narrator

Speaking Life into Story

Queen of the one-eyebrow quirk, Christa DelSorbo auditioned for the role of Tarzan’s mom and has the photos to prove she ended up as the only cast member in a literal cast. These days, they keep her stuck in a box with a ball on a stick and only feed her when she reads another chapter of another fabulous book. She loves every minute. Or so they tell her. *eyebrow slowly raises *

My Review

Silencing the Siren is the exciting debut for newest addition to the writer world, Denise L Barela. It is, also, the seventh installment from the series, Ever After Mysteries. She does not disappoint and her gift shines through in this 1920s style of the retelling of the classic The Little Mermaid tale. I greatly enjoyed this story with Annabel and Andrew. It is one that I could put down and among my favorites of the series I have read to date. 

I had the pleasure of listening to the audio version of Silencing the Siren. Christa DelSorbo’s performance on bringing this tale to life is superb. She made it so easy to continue to keep listening and she did a wonderful job.

I am giving Silencing the Siren a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading clean historical suspense fiction. I will be looking for more by this talented author, Denise L Barela, as well as, the next book from the Ever After Mysteries, Liz Tolsma’s Slashed Canvas.

I received a digital copy of Silencing the Siren from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
