Silent Siren by L.B. Carter Synopsis & Review
[image error] I met L.B. Carter in April at the Roanoke Author Invasion and picked up her book for some fun YA paranormal/supernatural reading! Here's a bit more about the book...
From the back cover:
Being a freak in high school is easy if you're smart, doubly so when you’re found on a riverbank, mute, with green-tinted hair, a locket, and amnesia. Secretly, dread that she really is a freak silences Sirena. Her lips seal in a single memory:
Rena drowned her father, saying goodbye with a life-ending kiss.
Death in his parents’ organization forces Norton on his first mission to a podunk coastal town with his brother, where their colleague last made contact. To fulfill the client’s contract:
Nor must recover the specimen fabled to adapt life to climate change.
Thanks to homeschooling, Nor is unprepared for going undercover at a high school. The protective nature his training instilled goes awry when the damsel believes she’s not the one who needs saving. As the two dive into the murky depths of the past, they unearth someone—or someones—willing to kill to keep the truth silent. Can they discover their answers...
Before they go under?
I was intrigued by the plot line from the beginning and found Rena's character fascinating. The book is written from a third person omnipotent point-of-view, but I was never sure whether to trust her self assessment. Did she really drown her own father? No, right? The story line and plot twists kept me guessing as clues were uncovered. I'm not sure I could have guessed the ending as it is such a unique story. Kudos to Ms. Carter for creating a completely novel fable!
Here's my official review:
This YA paranormal read had me guessing till the end. The plot line is unique and characters even more so. I'd never read a book about a spectre and found Carter's twisty plot engaging. Could you insert yourself in a high school to find solve a mysterious death and find the key to saving the earth from environmental ruin? Okay, when you put it that way, Definitely! Both lead characters are ones you root for even if you're not quite sure whose version of their past to believe. This book sets the stage for so much more to come!
You can find Silent Siren, Book 1 of the Climatic Climacteric series and all her other YA and NA titles here.
