At first, I will admit, I had certain reservations about this book. I did not see how one could combine serious subjects with mermaids and fantasy. The autism angle of this book intrigued me as I am raising two autistic children, but I couldn't see how anyone could take that seriously when mermaids were involved. I am pleased to report though, that Debbie Herbert has managed to make it all work, and make it entertaining in the process.If you are the type who likes your romance steamy and your villains to have a background, this may just be the book for you. I loved that the villain was not senselessly violent. You learn more about the character as the book unfolds and get a real feeling for why he makes the choices he makes and what made him who he is.
I enjoyed the various relationships in this book, both between the main character and her love interest and her family members. The differences in personalities of the characters created a nice dynamic that kept the story flowing and held my attention.
There is quite a bit of mystery in this story and no major plot downturns, so it never slowed down or got boring. I also appreciated that the author made her autistic character believable and showed him in such a light that he seemed both capable and important to the overall plot.
This book is part murder mystery, part romance and part paranormal, but struck a balance where all three aspects had a chance to shine. Overall, I enjoyed this and look forward to further works from this author.

I have to say, mermaid stories are one of my favorites. This one doesn’t disappoint. I have both the ebook and also listened to the audiobook some. The only thing negative I have to say is that I wasn’t crazy about the narrator, but the book was good enough that I wanted to keep on listening. There was so much suspense. The bad guy was so much fun to hate. What a clever idea to write a serial killer into a mermaid story. The characters are so well developed. I can’t wait to dig into Jet and Lily’s story. At first I wasn’t sure about Jet but now she’s turning out to be my favorite. And omgosh! Never in my life did I expect the development that came about at the end! I was like WHHAATTT! This didn’t end in a cliffhanger by any means but I can’t wait to see what happens with this little tidbit.
Mermaids and serial killers! What more could you ask for? I was fascinated from the beginning. Shelley, half human and half mermaid, is spotted by a madman as he’s disposing of his latest kill. Unfortunately, she’s not quite human when he does. Now the race is on to see who can put the other away first. Shelly wants him locked up. He wants her six feet under. And just to complicate things, the local sheriff is no fool. Too bad Shelley can’t get him out of her thoughts. And what thoughts they are.
Siren’s Secret is so much more than a romantic tale, or tail for that matter. The mermaid world is just starting to be fleshed out in this first mermaid story from Debbie Herbert. Shelley has two mermaid cousins, and the three couldn’t be more different. Their own stories will be something to look out for. But it’s not just the mermaid world we discover. Herbert has wrapped us up in the town and the people who live there. You get a real sense of the character’s daily lives and what drives them. Herbert’s writing takes the reader there, all five senses bringing the details to life.
And the suspense! This is a romance, but the villain in this story almost stole the show. I’m often tempted to skim over the bad guy’s point of view, but not here. The details and darkness Herbert paints him with is chilling, right down to his insect collection. He’s the horrifying accident you can’t look away from. The attention to detail is why we fear for Shelley. Not just fiction-fear but something that churns in your gut. You, the reader, fear him.
Tillman is our lead man, the local Sheriff. If you find yourself used to the usual fictional hero—you know the one; he’s kind, alpha, obsessed with the girl, and oh so… well, fictional—then this is a breath of fresh air. Tillman doesn’t lack for these things, but he is real. This is how you know most people, real people, would be. He’s a cop first, a protector of the people first. It’s the brain up top that drives him, always. The rest must follow what is the right thing to do. He’s true to himself, and you respect him for it. Our couple doesn’t change for each other. They learn to love what they are. Even if what they are is impossible to believe.
