We get to see big changes in Vanessa as she faces her fears head on and learns that she can cope living on her own. After Justine dies it would have been easy for Vanessa to stay at home with her parents and try to ignore her doubts about what caused her sister's death but she is determined to do the right thing and find out what really happened. Vanessa is a very easy character to relate to, she is very shy and scares easily but has always had her big sister Justine to protect her and make her feel safe. If you're looking for something a bit different in the YA paranormal genre you can't go far wrong with this one, I just hope I don't have to wait too long before I can read the rest of the series!

Siren is one of those books that I picked up expecting to enjoy but had no idea just how much I would love. Nothing is what it seems and the secrets Vanessa discovers will change her life forever.
