Instead of spending their nights sleeping, they are often called to the ocean to sing ships to their destruction. On her thirteenth birthday, Lolly will fully become a siren as well. But what if that isn't the life she wants? Sex: None. Language: None. Drug/Alcohol Use: None. Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: There are several deaths. It's a known fact that the sisters sing for ships to crash, but the scenes aren't super graphic. Final Note: I've read several books about sirens this year. This was the first junior fiction one I've read and it wasn't my favorite, but it was still pretty good. My biggest complaint is that the ending seemed rushed. But overall, Lolly was a very likeable character and the story was interesting. 

The Siren is a YA fiction novel by Kiera Cass, the author of The Selection series. Kahlen was rescued from drowning by the Ocean in exchange for 100 years of servitude as a Siren. Kahlen makes it 80 years before the unthinkable happens: she falls in love. What can she do? And what will the Ocean do when she discovers the truth? Sex: There are no sex scenes, but sex is discussed and implied. Language: I don't recall any strong language. Drug/Alcohol Use: Minor drinking. Violence/Gore/Frightening Scenes/Death: The Sirens sing people to their death to feed the Ocean. This affects the main character, Kahlen, very deeply. Final Note: This book was completely different than the Selection series, but still very enjoyable. Once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. A very interesting take on sirens, especially after reading Daughter of the Pirate King.
