There were so many things I loved about this book. First off, the cover... Gorgeous! The second, and probably most important thing I loved, was that this novel took me completely by surprise. I don't really know what I was expecting, what with this being my first mermaid book, but I wasn't expecting this. Okay, maybe I do know what I was expecting... something a little more Disney but what I got was something a little more gritty.Sorry for the intentional rhyming... on with the review.Herbert gi...
I got maybe halfway through this book and then just couldn't take it anymore.I listed to this as part of the Audible Romance Package, narrated by Stephanie Bentley. The narration was ok, despite some strange stylistic decisions on what I thought were odd words to place emphasis on. Except - EXCEPT! - the narrator takes these gasping breaths between sentences and it just grated. on. my. nerves. This was at least 50% of my decision to DNF this book, as if I listened to her take one more gaspy brea...

Well, the premise was interesting, the plot promising. The characters though…Lessee… first off, did you know collecting insects makes you a potential killer? No; neither did I. I mean; I don't have massive collections of pinned butterflies or anything but neither would I think anything of someone else having them. Also find the fact that the crazy guy has a dog who he's very fond of interesting.Then there's… the 26 year old brother of the H - he has autism. And…apparently is incapable of functio...
I enjoy reading debut novels. Particularly when I find the writer engages my attention and interest with a little extra in her writing that tugs me into reading another of her books. We all know that the first of everything is always the hardest and writing is a talent that grows as the writer writes.I didn’t spill any tears in this read, but indeed got my thrills! This was a suspense thriller that kept me reading. Debbie Herbert knows how to ratchet up a story that grips the reader’s mind, crea...
I had some trouble getting into this book. The first 25% or so just felt awkward--the writing seemed stilted, the characters were wooden, and I was having trouble wrapping my head around the fact that our heroine is a mermaid who (almost) painlessly transitions from one form to another depending on whether or not she's in the ocean. Yeah, I knew this was a mermaid book, but it was weird.Somewhere around the 30% mark, though, I started to get into the story. Shelly, our half-mermaid heroine, has

I was really excited when this arrived. There aren't nearly enough mermaid paranormal romances in the world.It starts off brilliantly too - we have a mermaid witness a serial killer dumping the body of a prostitute he's just murdered. He catches sight of our heroine, stabs her in the tail and determines that she will be his next victim. Name one other mermaid thriller because I certainly can't off the top of my head!Shelley our heroine turns to Tillman, the local sheriff she's always been secret...
This is a page turning, edge of your seat hold on for dear life, action packed adventure filled with magical, intriguing and engaging charters, witty and fun dialog, heart racing twists and emotionally thrilling passion. Excellent reading!
4 stars I always assume Harlequin's Nocturnes line with a light paranormal romance but this book surprised me. More like a romantic suspense with mermaid elements, since the latter didn't explained thoroughly and focus heavily on the suspense part. It's have a heroine with many secrets (well, she is a mermaid. Half merfolk to be exact), a sherrif hero that have chips on his shoulder and a women-hating serial killer. I liked that Herbert feature character with special needs. The sisterhood is on
Mermaids and serial killers! What more could you ask for? I was fascinated from the beginning. Shelley, half human and half mermaid, is spotted by a madman as he’s disposing of his latest kill. Unfortunately, she’s not quite human when he does. Now the race is on to see who can put the other away first. Shelly wants him locked up. He wants her six feet under. And just to complicate things, the local sheriff is no fool. Too bad Shelley can’t get him out of her thoughts. And what thoughts they are...
Siren's Secret by Debbie Herbert is part of Harlequin's Nocturne line - which is described as dark, sensuous and dangerous - where paranormal and normal collide. This book definitely does that.First, how gorgeous is this cover? I'm sure you realize by now that I love a good cover and this one was beautiful.When I picked up Siren's Secret - actually I got it for free from someone who won it from Debbie herself but already had their own copy - I thought this was going to be a fun, light read. Its
