Am I furious that I waited this long to read it? One hundred percent!
Sing Me to Sleep is not only a unique young adult fantasy, but contains a black and brown cast of characters, which makes it that much better! We have an irresistible and manipulative main character, Saoirse — a beautiful, black siren whose appetite for murder is insatiable and secrets seem never ending. Our male main character, a handsome, melanated prince who unwittingly employees a dangerous, illegal siren and enlists her help to hunt an assassin who just so happens to be Saoirse.
Sing Me to Sleep is an unputdownable slow burn romantasy that has you rooting for the manipulative, morally grey female main character

I found that the creatures being eliminated was heartbreaking to me, Sirens being nearly extinct was wild to me and made me hurt so much for our FMC. She believed that she was a monster because everyone told her she was when in reality she was just trying to survive and protect her family. I found myself wanting answers and never really getting them until I got a little further into the boo each time.
One of the beautiful things of this novel was that the entire cast were of color, including the one off characters. I also loved that there was "inter" species (i.e. fae/human, fae/witch) relationships showing how much love wins. There were also characters who were queer. However, absolutely none of the characters who fell into the latter two areas of representation felt tokenized. The lore was also really well done in this from the creatures used, to the lore of a siren and what makes them tick as a species was very interesting to see.
I'm just so mad that part two doesn't release until August.

The book’s all Black and Brown cast adds a refreshing and necessary layer of diversity to the genre, and the forbidden romance between Saoirse and Hayes is beautifully handled. The plot is compulsively readable, with secrets and dangers lurking at every corner. If you're a fan of thrilling YA fantasy with deep secrets and compelling characters, don’t miss this one. Highly recommend!
