Siren Queen by Nghi Vo

4.0

A haunting blend of old Hollywood and old magic. All the characters are fictitious but have parallels to classic film stars. The main character is reminiscent of Anna Mae Wong, and I thought I recognized a Cary Grant, Butterfly McQueen, and several other famous individuals, if you blur the timeline a bit. At the same time there is the fairy court's hunt, dolls that come to life, magic in exchange for years of life, protective kisses, etc.
