Despite being a mystical beauty with supernatural powers beyond any human abilities, there is this one guy who manages to completely get under her skin. 17-year-old Serena can’t escape her true destiny any longer. She is transformed into a Siren and has to get used to a new name, new powers, and constantly attracting every man’s glance. Guided by her new family members, she faces the challenge of attending High School among humans without appearing different. When Alex, the most attractive guy, reciprocates her love, she seems to finally accept her fate. However, two secrets are yet to be revealed, and Serena has to make a tough choice.

This is the compelling first novel in the Heart of Power trilogy. S. L. Giger manages to add a refreshing breeze to fantasy by successfully introducing us to the world of Sirens in our modern age.

---> A great and innocent but nevertheless thrilling paranormal teen romance. Must read!! (reviewsbyjules)

Interview with the author

Q: How did you get the ideas for this book?
A: I love books like Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games but so far, I’ve only always concentrated on writing contemporary romances. When I was traveling through South East Asia the weird, twisted roots in the jungle inspired me that there could be a whole different world inside ours and so I tried to add a paranormal element to my romance writing and turn it into an urban fantasy romance.

Q: So, are there more books by you, which your readers can enjoy?
A: Well, there's the sequel of Heart of Power (Rise of the Siren). Inside "Heart of Power: Awakening of the Siren”, you will find a link that will let you download it for free. Plus, I wrote another romance novel. “A sketch of what you mean to me” is a cancer love story and was published in February 2017.

Q: You work a full-time job? So, when do you find the time for writing?
A: Anytime I can get. On the train, before work, after work, in airports, on a plane. Sometimes I feel a bit anti-social because I much rather would want to be home writing instead of going out on a Friday evening. I have to find a balance but I feel like writing gives me more energy because it’s something I really want to do.

Q: You mentioned planes and airports. Do you like to travel?
A: I love exploring beautiful places and I use every chance I can get to travel. I also try to keep up to date with my travel blog, which you find on my website www.swissmissontour.com

Q: Who will like the Heart of Power Series?
A: People who enjoy reading an urban fantasy mystery or a paranormal teen romance. However, I wouldn’t say it’s a young adult novel only. If you like Vampire books, I’d say the chance is big that you also like Siren books. I hope I can give something new to the readers since Siren’s aren’t yet as explored as vampires. I address topics like having to leave your family and friends and finding your way in a new environment, how while growing up and even as an adult you are faced with choices every day and it’s important that you make a decision but that you also accept the consequences and of course, in Heart of Power, you will find the million butterflies, which you feel when you find the right guy for you and the insecurities love brings.

Ebook categories: Urban fantasy romance, paranormal teen romance

This book is very original and unique, in the sense that offers us a new, fresh, and modern glance at what it would be like for a Siren to exist and try to live among us a normal life. I loved S. L. Giger's take on the matter, how she presented us with the struggle Serena, who was now called Nathalie, as her old self is supposed to be dead, faced in her new life. The writing was easy, fast-paced, and smooth, and I would totally love to get to know more about Nathalie's story! (review by Caterina)

Seraina Linda Giger grew up in Gossau, SG in Switzerland and attended school there all the way through her master’s degree in becoming a high school teacher. With 16, she was able to spend an awesome exchange year in Rhinebeck, New York, where her love for the English language fully awakened. Since then, she always writes her novels in English and later translates her books into German.

S. L. Giger loves traveling, salsa dancing, surfing, scuba diving and chocolate. She uses every free minute to explore the world - be it near or far. That's why it was natural to start writing travel guides under her brand Swissmissontour. Up to now she has published 14 travel guides and feels very lucky that she has been able to see so much of the world. More travel guide books will follow.

5.0 out of 5 stars An "Aura" of Excellence

This book somehow nurtured my Siren curiosity, balanced it with contemporary life, and symbolized the benefits of new beginnings and/or second chances... all at the same time! And I certainly enjoyed the fun and rhyme-able aspects to common mysteries off the pages! For characters, I felt an easier chemistry in the original dynamics (between Melissa, Cathy, Roisin, Luke). But the entire flow was a good host to my attention. Excellent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Read part 1 and this is what I thought.....
Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2018
First let me Thank you for sending me part 1 of the book. I found the story interesting. There were times it seemed to repeat the same story line ( which is normal for filler in a story -word count). I started and stopped a few times due to other duties going on. Towards the end the story became more interesting especially finding the male in the car was the male from the college!!

3.0 out of 5 stars DNF but partly just for my finicky-ness
Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2021

Is English the author's second language? I'm only a chapter in and I haven't noticed any technical errors, but the wording feels off; stilted. Especially the dialogue. Anyway, the writing style is distracting me from the story, and I'm already annoyed at the complete deviance from traditional siren lore, and too impatient for anything less than absolute escapism. Afraid this is going in my Did Not Finish pile, but it's not totally the book's fault, so 3 stars

A 17 year old high school girl, a secret destiny to discover. What could go wrong? A great YA read, especialy for the teen girl set. Plenty of everything to love: action, mystery, suspense, and even some romance. Grab your copy of Heart of power: Awakening of the Siren today. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm not a big fan of Urban Fantasy or Romance, but I am a HUGE fan of mythical creatures. That being the case this book was a good read because we finally get to see a seldom-used mythical creature, a Siren used as the main character.
