Synopsis

The fierce heroine from Daughter of the Pirate King returns in this epic adventure from the bestselling Tricia Levenseller.

Alosa's mission is finally complete. Not only has she recovered all three pieces of the map to a legendary hidden treasure, but the pirates who originally took her captive are now prisoners on her ship. First mate Riden, still unfairly attractive and unexpectedly loyal, is a constant distraction, but now he's under her orders. And she takes great comfort in knowing that the villainous Vordan will soon be facing her father's justice.

When Vordan exposes a secret her father has kept for years, Alosa and her crew find themselves in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Despite the danger, Alosa knows they will recover the treasure first... After all, she is the daughter of the Siren Queen.

Reviews

Daughter of the Siren Queen is the sequel to Daughter of the Pirate King. Alosa has now accomplished her task her father, the Pirate king, set her in getting the pieces of the map to the Isla de Canta, where the sirens hold a legendary treasure that will make them all rich. However, life on the pirate seas are not always that simple... Upon capturing Vordon, who tortured her in order to find her father's keep, Alosa is now returning the favour. Vordon, fearing for his life, tells her a secret that changes everything she knows. Can she believe him? What if it's true? What secret could her father be holding from her?

When Alosa and her crew get to her father's island, she intends to leave all of her prisoners behind, all that is except Riden, who grows more attractive to her each day and is becoming a constant distraction. She also needs to seek out the truth about the secret she has been told. This truth will put her in a deadly race with the feared Pirate King. Who will get to the treasure first? Will her siren powers help her overthrow her father?

Daughter of the Siren Queen is a fast-paced, well written story with very entertaining characters. It's full of humour, secrets, violence and romance set on the high seas. I'm so glad that Riden has more of a voice in this sequel, he's a great character who makes Alosa question her Siren choices and gives the book the romance interest!

There are some scenes of violence, death, torture and sexual interactions in this book, but nothing in too much depth, making it suitable for 14+ readers. I have enjoyed every page of this rollercoaster, high seas adventure with its many twists and turns that you often don't see coming. A great sequel and ending to this series.
