    About this audiobook

    Celia Graves was once an ordinary human, but those days are long gone. Now she strives to maintain her sanity and her soul while juggling both vampire abilities and the powers of a Siren.Warned of a magical "bomb" at a local elementary school, Celia forces an evacuation. Oddly, the explosion seems to have no effect, puzzling both Celia and the FBI. Two weeks later, a strangely persistent bruise on Celia's leg turns out to be the first sign of a magical zombie plague.Finding the source of the plague isn't Celia's only concern. Her alcoholic mother has broken out of prison on the Sirens' island; her little sister's ghost has possessed a young girl; and one of Celia's boyfriends, a powerful mage, has disappeared.

      Actually I would rate this 4 1/2 Stars.

    • 4/5
      I jumped into the middle of this series, but was able to--for the most part--follow along easily to the story and plot without any previous character knowledge. This was a decent read for me--for a novel whose main premise involves school children and zombies I found it quite light on the horror, but the plot was enough to keep my interest and attention and I enjoyed the characters, especially the female protagonist. Siren and vampire isn't exactly a common pairing, but it seems to work pretty well here. I will certainly read the next in this series, and may even backtrack a few books.
    • 5/5
      The only thing that saves Celia Graves from the same fate as others after a couple of magical bombs go off at a school she’s trying to evacuate is the fact that she’s got super healing from both her vampire and siren DNA. And that’s only enough to slow the necro-disease down. There’s a race against time to figure out what and how in time to prevent a full-out pandemic as more of these bombs go off around the country.There’s plenty of action, magic and some sexual tension in this fourth book about a bounty hunter who was half-turned into a vampire and is considered an abomination. It hasn’t been all that long ago that she learned she’s also a siren. The magical community is mostly in her corner as they learn more about her, but there are still a lot of problems with the perception and prejudices the police have of her.Not only is the disease creepy, the authors have come up with an interesting delivery and source of the magic being used. The story delivers emotion on a number of levels including Celia’s struggles with her attraction to both Bruno and John, the relationship with her alcoholic mother and her own vampire urges to name a few. This was definitely a good solid story with characters it’s easy to care about.
    • 4/5
      THE ISIS COLLAR was a fast-paced, multi-layered urban fantasy novel. It is the fourth book in the Blood Song series. Celia is a former bodyguard who is adjusting to life after surviving a vampire bite and becoming one herself and discovering that she is also part siren. In this episode, she has to deal with a magical plague that has been set off in schools and is killing the teachers and children who were there. She also has to deal with a witch who has stolen a very powerful artifact and who wants Celia dead. Celia also has a variety of relationship issues. Her mother has escaped from the island of the sirens and returned home where she is resuming her life as an alcoholic. Her sister Ivy who died at eight and has been a ghost haunting Celia and her mother has learned to possess bodies and has taken over the body of a young friend of Celia's. Celia is also torn between her old love Bruno who betrayed her with another woman and her new love John Creede. Both men are powerful mages what want to have a relationship with her.The story is packed with perilous situations. The action never stops. I really enjoyed this story which is told from Celia's point of view. Watching Celia struggle with both the large problems and the smaller personal problems was very engaging. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
