Iris is siren. Sirens aren’t supposed to fall in love with their prey. Iris doesn’t like what she has to do in order to live but she has to take care of herself and family.
Jace just moved to Santa Cruz. He's a surfer. This book is mostly in Jace's POV but we do also get Iris's POV. Jace notices a girl in his Mythology class. He try's to talk to her and they slowly become friends. Jace gets a little crush for Iris. Iris's hole plan was to use Jace as one of her prey but she slowly gets feelings for Jace. It doesn't help that Iris has a conscience. At First Iris only wanted to kill people that were bad. Like the kind of people that kill or bad stuff.

Iris and jace start to hang out more. Jace also walks her home every time they hangout and one day have gets curious. So Jace follows Iris to find that they end up at the beach. Iris clams she can’t swim but Jace found her swimming. He thought it was weird that she had lied about her not being able to swim but here she is swimming. She was swimming really well and for hours. Unfortunately for Jace he heard her sing....

Once a human hears the sirens song, they are pretty much dead. Somehow Jace resisted going into the water. Also if the prey is not killed then the siren will die. So Iris and Jace now have to figure out a way to keep them both alive.

Overall I really liked the concept of this story. It’s not like the classic beautiful mermaid (siren) and boy falling in love. I mean it is but it also has a dark side to it. Which I find refreshing because it’s not sugar coated romance. If you know what I mean. It has a different spin. It doesn’t help that I love everything mermaid/siren. However it did help to get my attention. That cliffhanger was something else so be prepared. This is definitely worth the read in my opinion.
