After 100 years, she will be given a new life to live as her own with no memory of her previous life or the work she did for the ocean. Kahlen chose to live, but that choice came with chains. Kahlen was supposed to die, but the ocean gave her a choice. Beautifully written, The Siren is sure to tug at your heartstrings. I enjoyed the mythology blended with life today, the heartbreaking romance, and the bond between sisters who don’t share blood.
A standalone romance about the mythical creatures, the book is unlike anything I’ve ever read or I guess in this case listened too. If you don't want a commitment of a series (I feel like EVERY book is a series nowadays), read this.The Siren by Kiera Cass is one of my new favorite reads. I think this would make a great beach read and it is interesting, well written, and developed fully.
I think if you're looking for a fiction, mythical but realistic book, this is it. In a way, I wasn't expecting the ending, it wasn't random by any means but from the start of the book, to the middle of the book, you would NOT expect what happens, to actually happen. I was tearing up while listening to this on the train to work and I'm pretty sure people were looking at me. I can't describe too much of the book without giving everything away, but it was just as good as The Selection. It's very interesting to be inside Kahlen's mind, and I found myself resenting the Ocean. She meets a boy (obviously) and is presented with the troubling decision of how to handle all of these feelings, because she knows falling for him can be extremely dangerous. Kahlen deals with her own troubles, while also still trying to support her sisters and be loyal to the Ocean.
The story, aside from Kahlen & her sisters being sirens, revolves around Colin's angst with killing people and not being able to live a regular life, most importantly: falling in love and having a family. Yes, it's very weird, very confusing, and very mythical but it's SO INTERESTING. The Sirens sing and kill to feed the ocean (following so far?) and the ocean is their mother. Their voices are deadly to all of those who hear them, but their song is the most deadly. The Siren is about Kahlen (pronounced Collin) and her ocean sisters they are Sirens, women who are immortal and indebted to the ocean.
