The characters were well rounded and it is technically well written. There just wasn't any spark for me. I didn't dislike the characters, but I didn't love them either. It just didn't hold my attention. It was supposed to be suspenseful, but I never felt any sense of urgency or danger. The mobsters were not scary enough. Not scary at all actually. I thought Connor was the most interesting character, I would have loved to know more about him and see the story from his perspective. Honestly I'm pretty sure if the mob was after your family, you would not be safely hanging out in New York city to their full knowledge for very long, let alone falling in love with the guy sent to tail you. The hero worship of Teddy got very tedious. I just didn't buy that he was this perfect, flawless human being that Jo thought he was. I could see her thinking that at 10, but why didn't she realize as she got older that he was only human like the rest of us? I think the main problem I had was that what I was told to feel or what I was told Jo felt toward the other characters did not match how I reacted to them. My other issue was why was Jo there in the first place?? The entire book I was annoyed by this. So a mobster located in NYC is after you. He knows where you live and he knows your family, so you move from White Plains to NYC?? To be safer?? That makes no sense at all. Especially when her parents went all the way out to Montana to keep themselves safe. What the heck? It put Jo in a nice position for the rest of the story to unfold, but there was no logical reason for her to be there. It also irritated me that Teddy and Jo took all the blame for being involved with Connor when their dad (the adult who should know better) was a bootlegger involved with the same guy! And he had the nerve to berate Jo? Really? I really did not like her father or the way she kept convincing herself he had her best interests at heart when all he really had were his own interests at heart. Okay, maybe this book bothered me more than I realized lol! The ending wrapped up very nicely, albeit maybe a little too perfectly.

Sirens by Janet Fox is a story set in the Roaring Twenties about a teenager named Josephine Winter. When her father sends her off to live in Manhattan with her wealthy cousins, he suggests it is to find a husband. After helping her brother, Teddy, fake his suicide, Jo keeps his promise by not telling anyone, not even her parents, about the hoax. With the help of Teddy's journal, her cousin Melody the flapper, and the girlfriend of one of the most powerful gangsters in town, Jo uncovers the truth behind that "world of jazz and gangsters and their molls..." and why all that glitters is not gold.

The story is written from alternating points of view making it intriguing, from Jo's point of view to Louise O'Keefe, the girlfriend of the boot-legging gangster Danny Connor. Louise retells the events as being in the past while Jo is narrating them in the present tense.

"The cacophony of the city rose with the hours," New York in 1925 really set the feeling that it was present-day New York, with its chaos and lights and as a city where dreams come true. From captivating places like Central Park and the Algonquin, Janet Fox described each setting as glamorous or as secluded as one could imagine. She also illustrated every setting and character from the speakeasies to Danny Connor's mansion and right down to how the hem of each dress was beaded. I interpreted Jo as the sweet, innocent girl everyone believed she was, even when she knew better all along. Louise, I thought of as the older, love-struck version of Jo, except with amusing charm rather than innocence. Both characters were my favorite because of their conflicted emotions. For example Jo describes Danny Connor as a living nightmare with the piercing stare of a vulture whereas Louise saw him as the love of her life whether his intentions were good or bad, most of which were bad

The ending I thought was a bit confusing and ended with a lot of my questions unanswered but it is a story I would recommend to anyone, especially those interested in the decade of decadence. Overall, I really enjoyed this book despite the fact that it was described as slightly disappointing for not seeming like a stand-alone story, my thoughts on that statement are still indecisive.(less)

No, she wants to finish up high school, maybe go to college, and get a job. But her father has different ideas for her, and she doesn’t have much of a choice when he sends her off to Manhattan to find a husband. But as soon as she arrives, Jo starts to suspect that’s there’s more to the story than her future marriage. Too many people are asking her questions, particularly about her beloved older brother Teddy—questions that she can’t or won’t answer. Teddy trusted her, and she can’t betray that, no matter how alluring a new life as one of Manhattan’s elite could be. But, whether she knows it or not, Jo has been ensnared in a grander scheme of the most powerful man in town. Forced into the glamorously dangerous world of New York’s gangsters and their molls, will Jo be able to save herself?

I am definitely a huge fan of the flapper era, particularly its danger and decadence, which is why I was drawn to Sirens. Unfortunately, there was something about this world that failed to draw me in; while I certainly got the sense of the magic of New York City in the 20s, at the same time I felt distanced from it, perhaps because Jo is somewhat resistant of some of the attitudes of the time. This is certainly a different type of 20s story, despite having its fair share of the glitz, and that maintained my interest, though only up to a certain point. The plot has a good mixture of mystery, romance, and Jo’s more personal quest to find a place in her world, but ultimately, I just wasn’t very engaged in what was happening. Part of this had to do with the awkwardly paced released of information regarding Jo’s brother Teddy and the fact that some details were just too overwritten, but more than that, Jo’s character was just not sufficiently emotionally developed to make me truly care about her story.

Though I failed to really connect with this story, Sirens will still be enjoyed by fans of Bright Young Things by Anna Godbersen and The Girl Is Murder by Kathryn Miller Haines.

Set on the Roarin' '20s, Sirens is a tale of a girl thrown into the upper class New York City social scene, going from speakeasy to speakeasy while acquiring the company of a notorious gangster and his moll. Everything however, isn't as fine as it seems, and Jo Winters is hiding some dark secrets about her brother Teddy, who committed suicide one year ago. How are her, her brother, and the gangsters all connected? That is the question posed to you, and this book is a journey to discover the truth.

Jo Winters is an aspiring write, not quite out of high school, when she is sent packing to NYC to visit her rich relatives by her father. Her father is involved in the bootlegging business with the notorious gang leader Danny Conner, and something is happening between them that her father wants Jo out of the way, saying she is going to find a husband. Nonetheless, Jo sees through this, and while in NYC she tries to discern the truth and how it involves Teddy. After discovering his journal, Jo tries to figure it out and understand what occurred, all the while beset by Danny who wants something Teddy left behind. She is also sucked into the night life of the 1920's, partying with her cousin Melody, who harbors some dark secrets of her own. Women have just gotten the vote, and are trying out their new freedoms, donning the flapper attire and attitudes, and going to speakeasies and running the risk of getting caught (it's prohibition after all).

Louise “Lou” O’Keefe is Danny Conner's moll, whom previously lived on the streets, and was given a whole new life by Danny. She is supplied with as many dresses and jewels a girl could desire, and a mansion to boot, all thanks to him, the love of her life. She would do anything to keep him, including getting rid of any threats. When Jo and Lou meet, their lives quickly become entangled with some unpredictable twists.

Sirens is written from the view point of both Jo and Lou, while Lou retells the events to a cop, Jo is living it, which may seem confusing but it makes it more intriguing while you try to guess what really happened. My favorite part of this novel was the background. It is so rich and vibrant I could just picture myself there, not to mention the 20's was an exceptional era, the turning over of a new leaf. All of the glitz and glamor of the wealthy upper crust is portrayed splendidly, and so is the darkness and shadows of the underground bootlegging business, and all of the mobsters that are encountered there. My only annoyance with this was that I had a few questions at the end, and this book is meant to stand alone, so that bugs me. The ending is also a tad bit crazy, and a little confusing. Other than that I would definitely recommend this book, even for people who don't necessarily like historical fiction, this is a great book to start, where you will be swept away.

But in all seriousness, in the past year I have become fascinated with historical fiction based in the 1920’s. There is just something about this era that amazes me beyond belief. This book did not disappoint! Janet Fox captivated me with talk of gangster, bootleggers, and molls. I wanted to be in the book with Jo Winter and her gang of “bandits,” this is only my chosen term for them because I love the mischief that they always seem to land in. This story follows Jo Winter, as I mentioned, and a story that I cannot even begin to put into words. Her life is full of flappers, gangster, romance, and a whole lot of danger.

This book is written in alternating chapters from the perspectives of Jo and her flapper friend, Louise “Lou” O’ Keefe, long-time girlfriend of big-time gangster, Danny Conner. I really enjoyed reading the varying chapters from the perspectives of these two women. I have to say that I enjoyed both the same because even though I really liked Jo, I REALLY enjoyed Lou’s chapters. Lou’s chapters usually left on cliffhangers and they usually alluded to some type of danger that was lurking around the next bend. I did feel sorry for Lou because of her situation with Danny Conner, who I absolutely despised. I think that was the point though because he was the most powerful gangster in all of New York City, so yeah I think I should hate him. But Lou was just so caught up in the life of being a moll that she didn’t realize how ridiculous she sounded at times. The chapters slowly unfold more and more secrets the deeper you get into the book. I love that! I love books that keep me hanging on!

Manhattan in the roaring 20’s felt so realistic to me while reading this book. I felt like I could just reach out and touch it, and I definitely wanted to be a part of it. Along with the characters and the mystery behind Teddy’s (Jo’s brother) disappearance I felt like a regular sightseer. I squinted my eyes when Danny Conner was around however, and the tension just flew right off the pages. I have read a lot about flappers, but not really a lot about gangster and I do have to admit that their lives and the lives of their girlfriends intrigue me. I must say that I used to love the bad boys! I thought that Janet Fox did a superb job of capturing this time period and the lifestyles of the flappers and the gangster. And if you are ready for a walk on the wild side, then please do go and pick up a copy of this book!!

***A copy of this book was provided to me by Janet’s wonderful publicist in exchange for my honest review***

With the captivating and beautiful background of New York during the roaring 20’s, Janet Fox’s new novel, Sirens, offers everything readers could want. Women have recently gained the right to vote, and with that independence the desire for more freedoms than they ever had before. Seventeen-year-old Josephine “Jo” Winters is about to graduate high school and has plans to attend college and make a name for herself as a writer. But her father has other plans, and suddenly sends her to live with her aunt and uncle in New York with the objective of finding a husband. Between her father’s mob involvement in a bootlegging operation, and her brother Teddy’s disappearance, Jo realizes that there is more to this sudden move than fatherly concern for Jo’s future.

Unfortunately, Jo’s aunt and uncles home may not be as safe as everyone thinks. Jo’s cousin Melody also has a secret, one she hides behind a “flapper” lifestyle of drinking and partying. Teddy, a war veteran has been gone for a year, suicide, or so everyone believes. Everyone that is, except Jo. She knows his secret, and when Jo gets ahold of Teddy’s journal, as the secrets it holds are revealed, the truth turns dangerous for Jo and everyone she loves.

Louise “Lou” O’Keefe, has fallen in love with mobster Danny Conner. From a life of poverty, as Danny’s “moll”, Lou suddenly has an upgrade in life. The newest clothes, a mansion to live in, all the money from his “bootlegging” operation a girl could desire, and the man she loves. Lou is determined to keep Danny and insure her lifestyle, even if it means eliminating any threats. When Lou and Jo’s path cross, their two lives become tangled in unexpected ways.

Written in alternating chapters from Jo and Lou’s perspective, the truth behind Teddy’s disappearance, a violent political bombing, and Jo’s cousin Melody’s secret slowly unfold. Readers will be enchanted by the brilliant 1920’s New York lifestyle and setting, captivated by the characters, and addicted to the ever twisting plot. Filled with love, loss, and loyalty and an impressive look into the worlds of “flappers” and “mobsters,” Fox weaves a fascinating coming of age tale that speaks to the ever changing role and rights of women during the early 1920’s.

Recommended for readers age 12 and up. Sirens is scheduled for release November 8, 2012.

I received 'Sirens" as an ARC from Janet. Thank you!

General opinion:To be honest, "Sirens" isn't the kind of book that I'd pick up in a library. But when Janet offered me the opportunity to read it, I couldn't say 'No', because somehow, I knew that it will be great. And I was right. I am very impressed by this book and I'm very glad I read it. It's an amazing book! Very well written, with a lot of mistery and very well created characters.

I am 100% positive that if I was a young adult during the roaring 20s, I’d totally be a flapper. This notion is purely based on the things I’ve read in YA books. After reading The Diviners by Libba Bray, I sort of felt as though I NEEDED to read more 1920s-set books and I had the desperate hope that this would become a new ‘thing’ in YA. Lucky me, Sirens by Janet Fox had EXACTLY what I was looking for and was a nice, non-paranormal book to read after The Diviners. Sirens has: flappers, strong wo...more

The alternating narrators, Jo and Lou, are rather concerned with both of those policies. Lou is the moll of powerful mobster Danny Connor and Jo's father is involved with smuggling moonshine. Their social lives often involve going to speakeasies and risking getting caught in a raid. And as women they're caught between old ideas of femininity and modern. They may have the vote, but they still feel controlled by the men in their lives.

They meet in Manhattan after Jo's father sends her to live with her aunt and uncle's family. Turns out Danny is after something her brother left behind - something she probably has in her possession. Lou feels threatened by Jo, a young, smart, ambitious girl who is perfect to take her place as Danny's girlfriend. The conflict in the way they view events is highlighted by the way Janet Fox structures SIRENS.

Lou and Jo tell alternating chapters, but Jo tells events as they happen and Lou is recounting events for the cops. At first I found this very distracting. But it works, because Lou is reflecting on the choices she made while Jo is growing up and becoming an independent woman. The technique does work much better in later chapters, where there's more overlap between the girls' narratives.

At times it was difficult for me to read SIRENS because of real-world events. Fox brings the Manhattan of the twenties to live, complete with the treasured Algonquin Round Table. While she doesn't stint on the dark side of life - there are gang-related deaths, a loss of bodily autonomy, and other terrible things - this is a glittering, fabled New York. It was tough to read about that town of possibilities while it was being pounded by Hurricane Sandy.

But I still enjoyed SIRENS. It's got adventure and mystery and many of the ethical questions it explores are still relevant today. Winning the vote didn't automatically give women equal rights to men. It didn't automatically give us rights to our own bodies. I don't want to paint SIRENS as all about politics, however. It's got romance, and sibling relationships, and hopes for a better future. It's one jazzy ride. (less)

Full review at Talk Supe [To be published on November 8, 2012]

For most of the story, SIRENS was skirting the fringes of gangsters and bootleggers and frankly I wish we were let in on the grit of the underworld and not just the glitz and glitter of borrowed wealth and influence. I was really itching for some good 'ol mob story along the lines of Gangster Squad or a lighter version of The Road to Perdition. In any case, fans of Boardwalk Empire will most definitely enjoy this book.

First of all, this book is a masterful example of world building in historical fictions. Janet Fox started with a lot of tricky subjects--tricky, writing-wise, because they've morphed into many cliches over the years: the nice girl who wants to be a writer, the suave gangster, the simpering girlfriend, and simply the world of 1920's New York. But in Sirens I believed every single one of them. The complexity with which the characters were developed was just perfect, and I could really see and sme...more

A little mystery, a little intrigue abd a lot of 20's charm. For YA fiction it was very good and the inserts from Lou's perspective were a fun writing technique. All in all 4 out of 5.

I love the '20s but this was just boring. If I sat down and read for over 20 minutes, I could kind of start to get into it but otherwise I was bored.
The two female characters, Jo and Lou, were boring and Lou stuck around with a guy that hit her. Not cool. Sometimes, I wondered how authentic the '20s theme was.
But the last 90 pages were really good. Interesting, had some twists, a few times I even gasped.
