Title: Siren Author: Tricia Rayburn (@TriciaRayburn) Pages: 368 ISBN: 9781606842126
Synopsis:
Seventeen-year-old Vanessa Sands is afraid of everything–the dark, heights, the ocean–but her fearless older sister, Justine, has always been there to coach her through every challenge. That is until Justine goes cliff diving one night near the family’s vacation house in Winter Harbor, Maine, and her lifeless body washes up on shore the next day.
Vanessa’s parents want to work through the tragedy by returning to their everyday lives back in Boston, but Vanessa can’t help feeling that her sister’s death was more than an accident. After discovering that Justine never applied to colleges, and that she was secretly in a relationship with longtime family friend Caleb Carmichael, Vanessa returns to Winter Harbor to seek some answers.
But when Vanessa learns that Caleb has been missing since Justine’s death, she and Caleb’s older brother, Simon, join forces to try to find him, and in the process, their childhood friendship blossoms into something more.
Soon it’s not just Vanessa who is afraid. All of Winter Harbor is abuzz with anxiety when another body washes ashore, and panic sets in when the small town becomes home to a string of fatal, water-related accidents . . . in which all the victims are found grinning from ear to ear.
As Vanessa and Simon probe further into the connections between Justine’s death and the sudden rash of creepy drownings, Vanessa uncovers a secret that threatens her new romance, and that will change her life forever.
Release Date: May 2011

I haven’t seen anyone mention this book and I have never heard of this author. But I was checking out coming soon books on Barnes and Noble and this one popped up. The cover is kind of spooky and the synopsis sounds really engaging! I can’t wait to get my hands on this book.

Waiting on Wednesday: Siren by @TriciaRayburn http://p.ost.im/p/WgY6F
Actually, this is already out. You don’t have to wait at all;) I think that it will be released to paperback in May. You can check out the link for it here http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Siren/Tricia-Rayburn/e/9781606841822/?itm=1&USRI=siren+tricia+rayburnI actually already have it and couldn’t get into it so I only got to page 74 and stopped. I have heard great things about it, but it just wasn’t for me and I will probably try reading it again later.

Really??! It said on B&N that it was a pre-order. Maybe they just had to order more of the book? Sweet!
I was just looking and the sequel comes out on July 11th. I think what they have the preorder for is the paperback version because the hardcover is already available on Amazon, Books-A-Million, and many other places. At least you don’t have to wait for it. If you have an ereader, you could order it right now if you wanted
I haven’t heard of this one before and I can’t recall reading any books about sirens before - this one will have to be my first.Sally.http://theelifylop.blogspot.com/2011/04/waiting-on-wednesday-16.html
Thanks for sharing. I love waiting on Wednesday, I always find so many more books that I want to read. Juleshttp://thegreatthegoodandthebad.blogspot.com/
Siren has GOT to be the most underrated book in the world. It is a truly touching tale that will leave even the most emotionally dead person in tears!
