Today I’m participating in First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros, hosted by Diane at Bibliophile by the Sea, in which bloggers share a bit about a book they’re reading or planning to read soon.
I started reading The Siren recently. This is the second book in the series. You can read my review of The Soul Summoner from last year to get a better idea of where Siren is beginning.
Chapter 1
WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP WHOMP. CLACK, CLACK. EEEENG! EEENG! EEENG!
“This is a test. This is only a test of the Emergency Broadcast System.” I was practicing my best radio announcer’s voice.
“Sloan, stop talking,” my father said through his microphone. “And please, lie still.”
Synopsis:
All the missing victims of North Carolina’s deadliest serial killer have been found, all except Rachel Smith. When the FBI produces a photo proving Rachel is alive and well in Texas, one case is closed but another one is opened. Either this is a case of mistaken identity or there are more people than just Sloan Jordan and Warren Parish who seem to walk the earth without a soul.
Along with Detective Nathan McNamara, Sloan and Warren travel south to find Rachel and solve the biggest mystery of all: determining who—or what—they really are.
The Siren is Book 2 of The Soul Summoner Series.
Would you keep reading?

I am curious, but I probably wouldn’t have picked this one up. Thanks for sharing, and here’s mine: “TERRIBLE VIRTUE”
This might not be for me, but I hope you enjoy it!
The opening made me laugh. Still, I’m not quite sure this is a book for me.
A good opening but I’m not so sure that this one is for me…
wow, sounds good. I would actually try to listen to it
Although a little scary, I like a good thriller/mystery. I’d keep reading.
Then definitely check out the first book!
I don’t think I’d be able to help myself either. I’d want to say that too. Haha I like the opening. It is an innocent enough opening for what I imagine isn’t such an innocent book. I have been curious about these books and hope you continue to enjoy them!
Fun intro but, definitely not a me book.
That is definitely the most unusual introductory chapter I’ve ever read! I would go for it, except for the plot. Serial killers? Too creepy for me, to be honest. You’re obviously enjoying it, so I hope it stays good to the very end!
Thanks for visiting and commenting on my Tuesday Intros post!! 🙂
Yeah…the first book was intense. The beginning was crucial to the end, and I am anxious to know what will happen in this next installment.

It doesn’t sound or look like my sort of book, the cover is a turn-off for me.
