The Siren
by Kiera Cass
My second DNF of the year. I made it through the first 1.5 hours of The Siren on audiobook - and only because I was laying in the dentist's office, literally, actually, physically undergoing dental surgery while listening. The book was better than dental surgery... but not much.
It's a cool idea: The Ocean is a living entity that needs to be fed. Sirens are her servants, young women whose very voices charm people to that watery grave. Unfortunately, Kahlen's a twit. The other sirens are worse. They live limited versions of human life, never speaking in public, only to babble moronically to each other in their apartment they share. It's like a reality TV show full of airheads who murder people on the side. They're the Real Housewives of Your Watery Grave.
For much better twists on the siren myth, try Atlantia by Ally Condie and Undertow by Michael Buckley (it's a subplot, but still A+).
