Dylan Oswin's son has been kidnapped. First, by his ex-wife
and then by the nanny. Dylan is an influential TV producer
and he will do whatever it takes to get his son back.
An anonymous person is emailing him clues which lead him to
the mountains of Southern California and a woman named Pippa
James. According to his source, Pippa once performed as
Syrene. A teenage phenomen who had millions of fans, Syrene
lead a very destructive lifestyle until she disappeared from
the public eye abruptly. Dylan isn't sure he believes she is
Syrene but he wants to do a show based on Pippa's story.
Pippa James is a famous children's book author who shuns
publicity and very few people in her small town know
anything about her past. What they do know is that Pippa has
brought jobs back to the community and they will protect her
from anyone seeking to invade her privacy.
Dylan's search for his son will soon include Pippa and an
effort to discover who the anonymous source is.
What Dylan finds in Pippa is not just information about his
son, but a woman who is afraid to share herself with anyone.
As he breaks down the walls she has built around her heart,
they will find their lives intertwined in ways beyond what
either thought would ever happen.
This book starts out reading like a traditional romance and
I was beginning to wonder where the paranormal element was.
The paranormal element is a minor part of the story since we
have the search for Dylan's son, Pippa's journey of
discovery, and their efforts to track down the informant.
Once I got into THE LURE OF SONG AND MAGIC, it was hard to
put down. Ms. Rice weaves the various parts of the plot
together skillfully; keeping the reader eager to find the
next clue. The story is engrossing with just a touch of
magic about it. I can't wait for the next book.

She knows the devastation her talent can bring. There's more than a child's life at stake, but Syrene cannot unleash her dangerous siren's voice upon the world, even for a man who is impossible to deny...
