I don’t even know anyone one here. Heck, I’d never even visited the city before my move.Still, I’m determined to make it here, to make something of myself. And that means I have no time for distractions of any kind—especially guys.But then, he comes along; the sexiest, strongest, most handsome, most intimidating, and most powerful man I’ve ever seen.He’s absolutely gorgeous, with eyes that seem to burn right through my soul and the most charming smile in existence, and his allure, his entire being, is simply magnetic.He’s impossibly beautiful and just…ugh, perfect. He’s perfect. He’s everything every woman—and possibly quite a few men—wants, including me.What I’m not prepared for, though, is how much he wants me, too.However, there are three problems.One: He’s not a man.Two: I can only see him in my dreams.And three: He commands an army of soul reapers.And, apparently, that’s just the beginning…***Immerse yourself in the first thrilling installment of Eme Strife's addictive, sexy, enchanting, and surreal series.

A book about lobsters, beer and boobs, on some cursed islands off the coast of Western Australia. At least, that's how Joe tells it.For Sirena, it's a very different story.A tiny taste of what's in store:The boat was almost full of water now, I realised in panic, as I groped for a bucket to start bailing. Throwing bucket after bucket overboard, I couldn't tell if I was making any difference to the water level in the boat.One moment I was holding the bucket, about to scoop up more water, the next I was flying through the air. Immersed in cold, black water, I couldn't see the surface. I struggled, kicking in the direction I thought was up, and hit a rock. I jerked back reflexively and my head cleared the water. I gulped a huge lungful of air and grabbed for the rock. I had to hold on 'til daylight. Another big wave broke. I tried to keep hold of the slimy rock, but I was pushed out of reach, drifting in the current. I tried to kick my legs, but I wasn't sure if I did. I couldn't feel my feet and the numbness was creeping up my legs. I could hear the breakers on the outer reef, louder than they were from shore. I could feel the spray on my face. A wave washed over me and I was under the water again. I thought I could feel someone beside me, rolling me over so my face was at the surface, pulling my body through the water. All I could hear was an unearthly singing, high and sad, like some kind of suicidal dolphin. I could say I blacked out, but everything was already so black I wouldn't have noticed the difference. I checked out of Hotel Consciousness. At least I got to dream of Vanessa naked.
