Sinossi
Sorelle separate da centinaia di anni. Voci che non possono essere soffocate. 2019. Nel cuore della notte Lucy si sveglia di soprassalto; si trova nella stanza del suo ex ragazzo, a cavalcioni su di lui, con le mani strette attorno alla sua gola. Cosa ci fa lì? Confusa e terrorizzata, cerca rifugio dalla sorella Jess, sperando che possa aiutarla a capire il sogno che da qualche tempo popola le sue notti: la scena vivida e inquietante di due sorelle che stanno naufragando. 1800. Le sorelle Mary ed Eliza vengono strappate al loro amato padre in Irlanda e costrette a imbarcarsi su una nave diretta in Australia. Mentre vengono trasportate sempre più lontano da tutto ciò che amano e conoscono, iniziano a notare nei loro corpi degli strani cambiamenti che non riescono a spiegarsi. 2019. Giunta a casa di Jess, Lucy non trova alcuna traccia di lei. Mentre attende il suo ritorno, inizia a sentire strane storie sulla cittadina di mare dove la sorella si è da poco trasferita: racconti di uomini scomparsi, rapiti dagli abissi; sussurri di voci femminili che serpeggiano tra le onde. Nel frattempo, quello strano sogno inizia a sembrare più reale che mai. Sirene è la storia di quattro donne separate dal tempo eppure legate più di quanto si possa immaginare. Un nuovo romanzo sulla resilienza femminile, che racchiude tutto il potere della sorellanza e l'ineffabile magia del mare.

I do not think I would have finished this book if I hadn't received an arc. Now, looking at the book page on Goodreads, I see a number of people DNFed it for a lot of the same reasons I wanted to.

My Reviews Can Also Be Found On: The Book Review Crew Blog I loved the author's first book Weyward , and in this one, she weaves historical mystery and drama wonderfully. The bonds of sisterhood in the two timelines drew me to this title. There's lots of trauma, but these sisters are strong, espec
0.75! I honestly won't go in depth in this review because there's not really much to say. I was very excited for this book, I had not seen anything about this book, I had just heard about the author so I was excited to read one of her arcs, My main problem with this book was how I could not conne
“Sirens" is an engaging, epic feminist fantasy tale revolving around four women who are on a journey to discover their uniqueness in a world where equality is a myth, and where they must find their own place by embracing their differences and brilliance in the face of chauvinism.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC! One thing about me is I get scared easily and this creeped me out for a good 60% of the book. It was so eerie and dark and cold. The author’s writing was definitely captivating and compelling. This was definitely a feminist tale and depicted resili Leggi tutto
Told in two timelines, The Sirens was a thought provoking book about sisters, strength, secrets, and determination. I really enjoyed The Sirens despite it being a tad slow in the beginning. I enjoyed the 'finding out who you are' aspect of this book. I also enjoyed the relationships and the themes o Leggi tutto
1.5 starsB.O.R.I.N.G. Gosh, I hate when a book lulls me to sleep and sucks all the positive energy I have for reading traditionally published books. This book did exactly that. It was so hard for me to finish. It completely dampened my desire to pick up another book. The premise sounded cool. Women fr Leggi tutto
