Holloway Prison. London. November 1943.

Georgina Garrett is not cut out for incarceration. She misses her children terribly and still mourns the death of the man she loves. It's no surprise that even concrete cells cannot cage her. In true Georgina style, she soon secures the freedom she desires.

Her friends in Battersea, welcome Georgina’s return with hurrahs and anticipation. Georgina is pleased to see that Charlotte has done well letting out the apartments and collecting rents – even if one of the new tenants is a copper. Johnny and the old gang, always antsy for action, are thrilled to have Georgina back.

But Georgina has plans. She is hell-bent on retaliation for David’s murder. And the need to make money – loads of it and fast, fuels her. Risk and danger are no strangers to Georgina. She easily reasserts her position and reputation and reassumes command.

Rivals beware. Georgina is back: and this siren is open for business and ravenous for revenge.

The Georgina Garrett series is outstanding. I've been a Georgina fan since Trickster's first sentence. Sam Michael’s Siren is brilliant: action-packed, clever characters, colorful diction, and a twist that tops it all.

Thank you to NetGalley and Aria & Aries for the read of Sam Michael’s, Siren.

Loved this series Sam and you definitely saved the best till last. I did guess correctly one bit of the story early on, but it was such an action packed book it didn’t matter. My only complaint is that I couldn’t put it down. A fabulous five star read

I thought the first 3 were good but book 4 is explosive
Georgina Garrett is back, along with many of our old character favourites, and plenty of new ones, and we start the story in ‘Camden Castle’ ( HMP Holloway! ) as Georgina is serving her time, of course she isen’t content with this and her cunning planning mind is in overdrive as to how she can change this, never far away fon her mind is her Battersea and we learn what is happening there in her absence
You know its sooooo difficult but am not going to say anymore about the story as I know many readers want to be as surprised and shocked as I was with what the next 300 pages bring
Expect the unexpected with Georgina, double then treble it and you will have an idea what awaits you
The writing is as always flawless, the many plots and sub plots thrilling, dangerous and yes at times gruesome and grim but all brought together to give us the reader a wonderful time
I wonder if there will be a book 5, see what you think at the end
And yep Fanny Whipple makes an appearance
Thoroughly 100% all round enjoyable

10/10
5 Stars

I absolutely adore this series, Michaels never disappoints and each book just keeps getting better and better.

This is my favourite in the series so far and that's a tough decision because the whole series is utterly stunning.

This is another well-written and addictive read which I haven't been able to stop thinking about. This is unique and dynamic and I'm already craving more.

I cannot say anything negative about this book, it is absolutely brilliant! I can't wait for more. A definite five star read.

Siren by Sam Micheals is the fourth book in the Georgina Garrett series and what a great episode this is. The series just gets better and better.
It’s 1943, Georgina is in her third year residing at Holloway Prison for fraud. She misses her children and the rest of the gang have split up since her time in prison. Only a loyal few of the gang are still together and they are missing her. She manages to escape prison and return to her beloved Battersea and get revenge of ‘The top’ who killed her boyfriend David Maynard and reunite herself with her children. But things don’t go to plan and she has to jump so hurdles to get her revenge on the person who killed her love.
This is another gripping episode in the series which I loved liked the others in this series. Yet again this has a great storyline and I love the new characters that arrived in this episode. Just one that annoyed me of Johnny. Loyalty to the gang but always got into scrapes that Georgina always had to bail him out of. And I liked the surprising twist near the end. 5 stars from me.

Just as brilliant & as gripping as the others in the series. I loved the build up to finding out the identity of The Top. Georgina, as ballsy as ever. I highly recommend this series to everyone & can't wait to see what comes next from Sam. Another 5 star read!

This book was well worth the wait. I devoured the book in 2 nights. The twists in it were so good. This author is up there with the authors in this genre and shes rising in my opinion.

Another great and hard to leave down read from Sam Michaels and just when you think Georgina is defeated, then she turns it around. I’m not sure if this is the final book but if so it has a fitting end as Georgina is back and has achieved her goals in life. I would like to thank the publishers and Netgalley for letting me have the book to read and the opinions expressed are entirely my own views and are completely unbiased.

Absolutely beyond brilliant!!!! Another in the Georgina Garrett series. Having read every one of them this one didn't disappoint. They just keep on getting better and better.
Sam Michaels was a newly discovered author for me. But I've quickly become addicted to her books. The only problem I have is waiting for the next one!!!!

Though not the first in the series, it was my first experience with the indomitable Georgina. After three years in prison she finds a way out and seeks and metes out revenge on those who killed her lover. Other characters appear, including those who have her back as well as those who don't. We also glimpse the horrors of WWII, one of my favourite eras to read about.

The premise is interesting but grit and gore aren't my thing so I quickly lost connection. I was excited to give it a go but it just didn't click or resonate.

Wow what a story... I read this in a day I couldn’t put it down, Georgina’s life just gets more complicated. This is book 4 so make sure you read them in order. Sam Michaels is a fantastic author and her talent never ceases to amaze me.

If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. If you enjoy books from Martina Cole, Kimberley Chambers and Casey Kellher then your in for a treat.

Can’t wait for the next book Sam Michaels you truly are a great author #siren

Siren Book Four and Georgina Garrett is back.
I love this series and it's becoming one of my favourite series to read. Set in Battersea London in the war year 1943 we join Georgina in Holloway Prison already done three years in her internment for fraud she's been a model prison and it been tough, but a hope for a domestic duty at Pentonville is on the cards with the help of Miss Winter, she misses her kids Alfie and Selina like crazy been raised by the gypsy grandparents only another five years left and the move to Pentonville will be like freedom.
Charlotte Mipple is trying her hardest to keep everything ticking over outside but the Naylor brothers are a thorn in her side, with Johnny Dymon on side she wasn't scared of them but were taking advantage of Georgina been locked up. The brothel is now apartments and with rent to collect, while the air raid sirens sound over London planes fly over Georgina in her cell the sounds of woman crying wanting to be let out she shut it all out she needed to be free from this place for good she wasn't going to get caught.
What a dynamic book this is that takes us up to May 1945 and the war is over. so much has happened along the way that readers will find entertaining to read, full of action, love, killings and revenge, what a book, I loved it all. Georgina is one mean machine not to be crossed the Dame of London has come out TOP once again.
