Sing Me to Sleep

This book is nothing special to me. I guess it's more of a problem with the genre than this book specifically, but I don't like people being stripped of their free will, so siren stories may not be for me. I don't understand why Hayes was so enraptured with Saoirse when she literally gave him nothing (I know crushes can be irrational but at some point the feelings have to dissipate when the person shows you nothing but shady behavior, lying, manipulation, and disrespect). I think Saoirse's aunties should have told her what they knew about the Royals before she graduated in case she was given a placement in the Palace, and she should have told them about the silver letter in Rain's backpack. Maybe they could have used magic to trace its origins and all of this could have been avoided. Also, why were the Sorkova parents pretty lax about Rain's secret and protection? Yes, Saoirse was too protective, but the parents seemed too lax. Not only would their daughter's life at risk if she were discovered, but so would Saoirse's and theirs. They should have done better keeping her away from graduation and the Palace.

Not really a fan of this book and if it turns into a series I probably won't read the rest.
