Sirensong

Sirensong (Faeriewalker, #3)

Sirensong by Jenna Black is the final book in her Faeriewalker series.

When Dana is invited to Faerie to be officially presented to the Seelie Court, it's no easy decision. After all, everyone knows Titania, the Seelie Queen, wants her dead.  But Titania claims not to be the one behind the death threats; and her son, Prince Henry, makes the decision a whole lot easier when he suggest Dana might be arrested for (supposedly) conspiring with her aunt Grace to usurp the Seelie throne.  So she and her father better do as they're told...

The journey through Faerie is long- and treacherous. Dana thought it would be a good idea to have friends along, but her sort-of-boyfriend, Ethan, and her bodyguard's son, Keane, just can't seem to get alone, and Kimber's crush on Keane isn't making things any easier.  When a violent attack separates Dana from their caravan, the sexy Erlking saves her just in the nick of time... and makes it clear that he hasn't given up on making her his own.

Arriving at Titania's beautiful palace should be a relief.  But Dana is soon implicated in an assassination attempt against Titania's granddaughter, and is suddenly a fugitive, forced to leave her father behind as she and her friends flee for their lives.  Will she be able to prove her innocence before the forces of the Seelie Court- or worse, the Erlking- catch up with her? And will she save her father before he pays the ultimate price in her stead.

The Breakdown:
1.  Black does a great job of concluding her Faeriewalker series in this book.  She does a great job of not only introducing Dana to Faerie, but in finally getting all Dana's secrets out that she has been keeping from her friends and family.

2. I still really like the Erlking.  While he definitely has his own agenda to keep, he never outright lies to Dana, and really does his best to protect her.

3. I really like that the relationship between Dana and her father continues to develop.  While he is very reserved at times in his feelings, I can tell he really loves her.  He does what he can to protector her, even when it could possibly cost him his life.

4. I like that Dana is slowly dealing with her trust issues.  She is learning what it means to be a true friend, and while she has some miss steps, she is starting to really get it by the end.

5.  I do like that this book did not magically solve all of Dana's problems, but resolved the major issues that the series presents. She still has to deal with her life as a Faeriewalker and a teenager with an alcoholic mother, but things are easier for her by the end.
