Sing Me to Sleep

Words sting. Songs kill.

Saoirse Sorkova survives on secrets.

That she is a siren and her existence is a crime.

That she cannot always control her deadly powers.

That she does not hate the handsome, thoughtful Prince Hayes, whose father would put her to death.

But when Saoirse and Hayes are forced to work together to hunt a killer, Saoirse's secrets are brought dangerously close to the light. Because Saoirse is the killer, and it's a matter of time before Hayes finds out . . .

Everything about Burton's debut is razor-sharp: the writing, the tension, the twists, the action, the romance, and, of course, its heroine Saoirse herself.
