Blurb/Synopsis:

Nothing in life is ever monochrome.
I discovered that a long time ago,
And with all such lessons,
I learned it the hard way.

Dark cannot exist without light.
Night can’t occur without day.
Despair can’t flourish without hope.
I couldn’t live without her,
She can’t survive without me.

She was meant to be my protector.
It was us against the world.
Allies. Partners.
Instead, she became my worst fear.

I allowed that despair to grow and fester.
I let it mar me, then, almost destroy me.
I realized something had to give.

This time, there is no turning back.
When the siren calls to you,
You unwillingly answer.

Question is… Would I survive the fall?
 



Sage is a 32 year old female who has lived in fear literally every single day of her life. Why? Because she has an evil, sadistic, psychotic sister named Siren who mentally and physically controls, abuses and manipulates her. 


“She was meant to be my protector. It was us against the world. Allies. Partners. Instead, she became my worst fear. I allowed that despair to grow and fester. I let it mar me, then, almost destroy me. I realized something had to give. This time, there is no turning back. When the siren calls to you, you unwillingly answer. Question is… Would I survive the fall?”

The story of Siren and Sage is one of the least predictable, most exciting stories I’ve ever read (and I read about 300 books every year)! If you like psychological thrillers that leave you on the edge of your seat, this is a must read!!!

The only negative thing about this book was that there are some minor  editing issues. There are numerous sentences such as, “She was tall, about 5 feet to my 6” that didn’t quite make sense and some typos such as referring to a character as the, “escape goat” instead of, “scapegoat”. I usually won’t give a book 5 stars if there are editing issues but this book was so unbelievably good that I was able to overlook the typos! I am thrilled to have discovered Ms. Joseph and can’t wait to read more of her books!!
