Eighteen-year-old Lexi unconsciously drowned Steven, the boy she loved, on her 16th birthday.   Later she realizes that her overwhelming urge to swim and sing is part of her  genetic heritage as a Siren; a  murderous muse of the sea.  Lexi’s task is to keep her secret safe along with her friends whether it means being an outcast or not.

In this satisfying fantasy novel, the author uses Lexi’s seclusion as a tool to show emotional distress in relationships among her peers; a common stress in teenagers’ lives.  Readers will be emotionally absorbed by Lexi’s story.  There is romance and regret throughout the pages, compelling the reader forward.  The message in this book is clear:  Lying is not the way to go and honesty is the key to simplicity.
