Siren by Tricia Rayburn5/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Vanessa's dry-eyed, obsessive grief keeps sympathy at a distance, and her feelings for Simon don't have much heft. Not all of the plot threads are well resolved- for example, it's never clear why Vanessa is sometimes able to hear her dead sister speaking to her. Why does Vanessa get searing headaches when Zara is near? And what do strange weather patterns have to do with the string of deaths that follow Justine's? Part romance, part mystery, Rayburn's (the Maggie Bean series) tale is a solid supernatural thriller, but it doesn't coalesce into anything more than the sum of its parts. At every turn, however, a vicious girl named Zara obstructs their path. Teenage Caleb, who was with Justine that night, is missing, so Vanessa joins forces with his older brother, Simon, to find him as well as answers to the mystery.
