Siren Song (Clash of Creatures) by Taylor E. Weston

SIREN SONG is a part of the CLASH OF THE CREATURES multiverse. This is a trans siren and his older human pairing.


From the blurb:

Siren outcast Aleks Parthenope knows loss: abandonment by his mother and family when he came out as trans six years ago, and the sudden departure of his favorite coach before that. Now, after years of fighting, he’s earned his return to competitive artistic swimming, and qualifying for the Clash of Creatures in Monstralia is what he’s dreamed of. There’s only one thing standing in his way—he needs a coach, and no one is willing to work with an outcast.

Artistic swimming coach Javier Zamora, the human offspring of a siren, has spent years carrying the guilt of a young siren’s death. Javier has built a new life for himself, but everything crumbles around him when he sees an article about a siren trying to return to competition after transitioning—a siren whose pale green scales he’d recognize anywhere.

When Javier shows up on Aleks’ doorstep looking like he’s seen a ghost, the siren wants nothing to do with the coach who disappeared from his life years ago. But with no other options, working with Javier is the only way Aleks can get what he wants—a chance to win.

Siren Song is a kinky MM romance full of shifting sirens, fated mates, and a hard-earned HEA. This novella is a standalone in the Clash of Creatures series.

Molly Otto's review:

Javier hears the siren song of one of the teens he trains and flees in the night for the fear of what could have become of the teen he heard, leaving behind the only home he knew to start over. Eight years later, Aleks has fully transitioned to become the siren he was always meant to be, yet his Siren colony rejects him, and he must find a way to compete to prove he is still the Siren he was always meant to become. Javier spots a news article and once again packs up and goes to find the teen now a man, who also happens to be his mate. Tensions are high for the pair both in their relationship and with the pending competition. I appreciated how steadfast Javier is to protect Aleks and fight for him to get what he truly deserves. Aleks understandably resists the man who ran leaving him believing it was his fault to eventually realize how powerful of a bond they truly have. This story was beautifully written with great trans rep along with the musicality that brings these two men together. You feel their love and need to be together even during their resistance, you feel it in your bones, they are meant to be together.
