Acerca de esta escucha
A deadly contest. A vaulting ambition. How far will one cyren go to win?
Mighty cyrens have ruled the ancient lair of Saddoriel for centuries; a cavernous fortress and a subterranean labyrinth of tunnels and levels all powered by magic and music.
From the moment she was born, Roh, the daughter of an infamous criminal, has been despised by her own kind. Restricted to the Lower Sector and forced to work as a common bone cleaner, she has always believed she belongs above: where lies adventure...and power. Opportunity arises in the form of the Queen’s Tournament, a treacherous set of trials that could see the victor crowned ruler of the entire lair. Up against the most cunning, dangerous cyrens in all the realms, does Roh stand a chance?
A Lair of Bones is the first gripping book in the dark fantasy quartet Curse of the Cyren Queen.
Includes A Song in the Deep, a Curse of the Cyren Queen novella.

Historia
When a mission goes wrong and ends with her best friend dead, Drusilla Valerius is rescued by someone she never expected to see again: Marcus Scaevola. The only man she’s ever cared for—the man who spurned her feelings six years ago. Marcus should’ve known Dru wouldn’t be the same woman he left all those years ago, and is he’s unprepared for her distrust of him–and her uncanny ability to kill. But he has a purpose for seeking her out. Bound by loyalty, he convinces her to train King Cato of Anziano, one of the last countries yet to fall to the tyrannical Imperium.

The wars of the past may be over, but her thirst for revenge is far from quenched.

Historia
With her death foretold, Althea Zoltaire only has three years to become what she’s always dreamed of being: a warrior legend. Women are forbidden to wield blades, so she has trained in secret her entire life. Now racing against the clock, she fights to secure her place in the elite guild charged with the protection of the five kingdoms. The sparring and hazing of the new trainees border on deadly, but even more dangerous is her growing attraction to Wilder Hawthorne, her unwilling warrior chaperone. All around them, schemes are afoot and darkness looms.

When the fae King of Storms and Feathers purchases me, I vow to escape his palace of dust and gold, reclaim my memories, and return to the home that haunts my visions—a city of ruins in the decaying forests of the human realm. In the meantime, I’ll pretend to be what King Arrowyn wants—an obedient green-eyed bird, chained and powerless, his for the taunting and taking. But when I escape and fall into viler clutches, Arrow hunts me down, determined to retrieve his disobedient, most valued possession.

Eva Nix, glorified messenger, at your service. Sure, the ability to cross boundaries into other realms is pretty neat, but when a devil tricks me into a contract, my celestial blood suddenly becomes the greatest prize in a dangerous game. My first mission lies deep in the goblin realm, beyond the wild forests to the stone towers of the old ones, in search of Mistral. I expected him to be deadly and cunning. I did not expect him to sit me by a cozy fire to offer a contract of his own, sealed with a kiss.

I never wanted to be a vampire. But here I am, freshly turned and on the run from the monster who made me. MistHallow Academy is supposed to be my sanctuary, a place where I can learn to control my powers. Instead, it's become a battleground of desire and danger. Three guys have caught my eye. They're each intoxicating in their own way, and I'm drawn to them all. Caine: the Ice Demon with his arctic touch and fiery passion. Thorne: the Dark Fae nobility who sees right through my defenses. Flint: the Dragon shifter savior who makes my undead heart race.

I am not inclined to purchase the second book, even to finish the adventure, because this first one is just a loosely-written Hunger Games-wannabe.
Sorry to contradict the glowing reviews of others, but this book is carelessly written.
Examples: The cyrens speak different languages, and only one of their many languages can be understood by humans, whom they disdain. Yet, during at least one scene in the book, the cyrens are speaking amongst themselves, but the human in the room can understand them. So, are they speaking in "the Common Tongue"? Why? They never speak "the Common Tongue" amongst themselves, right? And they aren't saying anything that they want the human to understand -- their conversation is for their own benefit. So how does then human understand them???
Another example: One human has been captured by the cyrens and his name (a shortened version, a nickname, but a nickname that is quite close to his full name) is well known from the git-go. Yet, it isn't until more than a month later that, somehow, the human-musician-capturing cyrens somehow realize that this guy is someone who has, for DECADES, been super-high on their "to-capture" list! This failure to recognize the guy at first (especially when they have his bleepin' NAME!!!) is never explained. Nor is it explained how the sudden epiphany came about, such that now, after more than a month, VOILÀ, they suddenly know who he is!
Another example: Two humans see each other and seem to begin to get to know one another: They ask each other where they are from; one begins to show off a tattoo... then this get-to-know-you session is interrupted. There is no more serious contact between them after that. Yet, toward the very end of the book (slight, slight spoiler here), one of these humans leaves the larger group, and says to the other: "Good-bye, old friend." I was expecting that this would be explained. But, no. Is it an internal inconsistency? Or is it explained in one of the next three books? ANNOYING AS ALL HELL!
Last example: There is a great deal of guilt and to-do about the main character cheating during a card game. Yet, because of all the emphasis on the cyrens' placing a great deal of VALUE on "cunning," as well as their knowing that they cannot trust each other, I would expect that the friends against whom she cheated would have been just as likely to cheat HER... Internal inconsistency, in my opinion.
Also, not an internal inconsistency, but a serious breakdown in logic: The cyrens love music (but won't play instruments themselves -- and the reason given is, in my opinion, very, very lame and contrived!). So they have to go up and out into the human realm and must capture human musicians in order to satisfy their music "fix." But once they capture these musicians, the cyrens apparently just "play them into the ground" (my own phrase). The human musicians are forced to play pretty much constantly. Their clothes become ragged; they lose weight; they die soon-ish after capture. But: WHY???? Okay, the cyrens are cruel and kinda narcissistic. But they aren't STUPID! Why would they treat such a valuable commodity so badly??? Why wouldn't they treat these human musicians well? Why wouldn't they treat the human musicians at least as well as a farmer treats his prize bull? Feed them well, offer rest? Extend their useful lives as far as possible? It makes no sense!
I am too annoyed with the author and with the gaps in the story to bother with the next part. I don't appreciate the bait-and-switch aspect of this story (the ending being a total cliff-hanger). And, as noted, the book is carelessly written. I could offer several further examples of careless writing and of what are, in my opinion, internal inconsistencies, but I will end this review here.
Go ahead and purchase the book if you want an imitation Hunger Games featuring sirens (cyrens). Be prepared to purchase additional books in the series just in order to complete a single adventure.
