Synopsis (Goodreads):
In the alien catacombs of Rainshadow, there are creatures whose compelling songs lure the unwary to their death. That’s why Rafe Coppersmith, hired to clear out the catacombs for exploration, needs a music talent. He’s knows the perfect one, but she probably doesn’t want anything do with him...

Ella Morgan had once fallen hard and fast for Rafe, but then he disappeared for months…and he’s not about to tell her why. Ella, too, has secrets that only her dust bunny knows. She’s not just a music talent, she’s a Siren: a paranormal singer capable of singing men to sleep—or to their deaths.

But once on Rainshadow, Rafe and Ella will learn that surrendering to passion doesn’t come without risks—and fighting fire with fire only adds to the flame…
Thoughts on Siren's Call: The final Coppersmith brother is up and his match is a lady with the legendary ability of a siren. And by "legendary", I mean everybody says they don't/shouldn't exist. Yet here Ella is. Living her best life. Sort of.

Anywho. Circumstances forced these two apart after their first meeting. Which doesn't endear Rafe to Ella, in all honesty, since he couldn't exactly explain what was going on with him. To be fair, he has a hard time explaining things to her even when he has the chance simply because dealing with a psi-fever and the accompanying madness that goes along with it isn't exactly something he wants to advertise to anyone. Least of all someone he's attracted to.

On her end, Ella had kinda sorta written Rafe off when he never contacted her after their first encounter. Her talent tends to scare people off and she figured Rafe had decided to cut his losses despite his words to the contrary. Him showing up again to ask for help riles her up a bit, but her talent really is exactly what he needs to get the job done. So she steps in to help.

A kidnapping attempt to two, a few steamy encounters, a crystalline jungle, monsters, madness, and bad guys who just won't quit. I do enjoy any time spent on Harmony and Rafe and Ella worked for me. *thumbs up*
