Wolf Sirens: Forbidden by Tina Smith is an enjoyable YA read. Reminding me a little of The Secret Circle and a little of Twilight, Wolf Sirens: Forbidden focus on a wolf pack, a popular group of high school teenagers who all happen to be able to shapeshift into werewolves. I liked this connection. It immediately made me feel comfortable with the read, and I certainly enjoyed the focus on werewolves.There are a variety of twists that were completely unexpected and generally the pace was fast and character development was fitting.
The array of characters developed by Tina Smith were fun to read and varied. I think she captured her characters' personalities and relationships well. The main character Lila really develops and grows as the book progresses, and most importantly is a likeable character.
There are a couple of love triangles that unravel in Wolf Sirens: Forbidden. Tina Smith captured the tension effectively and pushed her characters which I liked. I never like things to be too easy and simple for characters, they should have to work for it. This is the certainly the case here.
A niggle was the editing. It needs a little tlc throughout. There were many punctuation omissions and anomalies which did catch me out every now and then, plus the formatting was a somewhat mixed up at times. I picked up my copy three months ago, so this may have been corrected since then.
If you are looking for a YA/crossover paranormal romance filled with tension and good old love triangle, then be sure to pick up book one in this series. I will definitely read book two, Wolf Sirens: Fever, especially because of the pretty intense ending.
