In a world where all sirens are Black women but not all Black women are sirens, this story tells the story of Travis the siren and her play-sister Effie (who is something else altogether).
Maybe this one just wasn't for me. It felt like a combination of genres and blending of real-world issue and fantasy creatures that didn't quite stick the landing on anything in particular.
