Forsaken by S.J. Harper – a Review

Amazon / Barnes & Noble

Description:
Join Agents Emma Monroe and Zack Armstrong.
She protected him. He loved her.
They can trust one another with their lives, but what about their hearts?

Special Agent Emma Monroe is a Fallen Siren seeking redemption. Thousands of years ago, she was banished from Mount Olympus by Zeus and cursed by Demeter for failing to prevent the kidnapping of Persephone by Hades. Now she’s working for the FBI, seeking salvation while searching for and finding the missing. Her partner, Zack Armstrong, is a werewolf with a grievance of his own.

The former Black Ops sniper who once carried out a string of questionable assignments is atoning for his past. Ironically, Zack’s just discovered an important piece of his past has been magically wiped from his memory—an affair with Emma. It doesn’t matter she used the spell to save his life, that’s something he’ll never know. With trust eroded and love overshadowed by betrayal the only thing holding them together is the job.

When the son of multi-billionaire Roger Maitlan is kidnapped and his babysitter murdered in cold blood, Emma and Zack travel to New York to work the case. They go undercover, infiltrating a playground of private dungeons where those who are rich and powerful can live out fantasies without consequence. What they find is a conspiracy born of a twisted mind and fueled by greed. The clock is ticking. Will Zack and Emma be able to find the missing boy and their way back to one another?

Review:
Forsaken by S.J. Harper is book 2.5 of their Fallen Siren series. This is a novella that picks up right after the second book ended. In Forsaken, S.J. Harper continues the trend of exciting, tense filled stories that are filled with pulse-pounding action. Emma and Zack continue to work together to solve major crimes, despite their intense feelings for each other. Zack cannot remember his relationship with Emma, but knows deep down that something did happen, and he continues to feel the chemistry between them. Emma cares strongly for Zack, but she knows showing those feelings could be the death of him.   They make such a great couple, even if they fight it. He is a werewolf and she is a Fallen Siren, and together they are wonderful team.

In Forsaken, a child is kidnapped and Zack with Emma’s help must find the boy; the son of Zack’s billionaire friend, before he is killed. With a race against the clock, the suspense multiplies after discovering the motive of revenge and greed that insures the boy will not be saved by just money. There are betrayals, and twists that make story even more intense as we head to the finish.

During all of this, the romance between Zack and Emma continues to get hotter and hotter.   Will Emma allow herself to continue this romance with Zack, putting him in danger? Will Zack discover the truth why he can’t remember what he knows has happened?

Jeanne C. Stein and Samantha Sommersby make up the writing team of S.J. Harper, and they do a fabulous job of creating such a wonderful series. Each book is filled with excitement, suspense, intrigue, sexy romance and a wonderful couple.   Fallen Siren is a great series that I suggest you read, and please start with the first book.
