A story that took me in a surprising and exciting direction

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

This was such a pleasant and exciting surprise read for me. I had no idea which direction it was going to go or what this fascinating creature was until the very end, and even then, I am unsure of her purpose in the larger scheme of things. How Rena's story began and the people affected by her presence was only given to us in pieces through the eyes of the heroine, Rena, and the hero, Nor, who arrives on the scene after she's transitioned into the small town population. He, along with his brother, are on a mission no one in town knows about, and we receive small clues throughout the story that refer to what they may be searching for. But it's his interaction with and attraction to the unique woman, Rena, that has him doing things he normally wouldn't. As we follow them through their days as high school seniors and see how they relate to each other and their "families," we gain small insights into the mysteries held inside this small coastal town.

This story was a puzzle throughout, to which we were given only a few pieces at a time, and the way they fit together turned into a completely different pattern than I expected. The way the characters engaged with each other and the connections they make takes us on an amazing adventure that not only tells a story of unexpected relationships, but it shows us what a world that is thrust into dealing with climate change could look like. It leaves us with questions that are relevant to the times in which we live. I am looking forward in anticipation to the next book in the series.

Sets the stage for more to come!

Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2019

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!

“Silent Siren” the first book in the Climatic Climacteric is unique, mysterious, with twists and turns you would not expect. For L. B. Carter’s debut novel it’s well written and very entertaining. I recommend this great read. And wow what an ending. I can’t wait for me.

Kept Me Guessing!

Okay, so this was not what I would normally read, but on the flip side, once I started, it was very hard to put it down. Short story, there was very little about it not to like. The main character was unusual and hard to nail down, but the need to do so was almost frustrating. The supporting characters in the story developed well as it progressed and played nice with the main character. Well, mostly anyway. If you are looking for an entertaining read, I think this will fit the bill. I loved it and am looking forward to the next book in the series.

Great YA that anyone would love!

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2020

Loved this book right from the start! It ticks all the best YA boxes and so many more. So many levels to think about, all shrouded in mysterious circumstances. Great character relationships. I especially like the tie in to climate change and bringing in a little science! Carter really lays this out nicely and puts all the puzzle pieces in place at the end. I do recommend this one and will be immediately reading the 2nd and 3rd in this series.

Entertaining and different

Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2020

Entertaining story with some unique elements, and I liked the mystery going on from multiple angles. Sirena has amnesia and doesn’t talk; she now lives with someone who took her in after she was found at a car accident because there’s no personal information found out about her. Sirena has some weird recollections about the car accident; things dealing with her being different and the sea. Norton/Nor and his brother, Reed, just moved to town because they have a mission to accomplish; they are part of some mysterious group. Sirena and Nor cross paths since they go to school together, but don’t necessarily get off on the right foot. There’s POVs from both Nor and Sirena, so that’s great. They both are kind of weird characters. Nor thinks about environmental issues a lot, and Sirena goes back and forth with being strong then weak. They probably seem weird because there’s a lot of mystery surrounding both of them. Both are interesting, likable characters; just a little odd. I enjoyed the story for the most part, but there were some things that slowed the story down; there were some training sessions that were described more than they needed to be, and other times, important events were just skimmed over and thought back on. I think if those scenes would’ve been done in real time in the book, it would’ve added some good action to the story and helped the story flow better. Overall, an entertaining and odd story; I’d say a 3.5 rating that I rounded up to a 4 because this series has a lot of potential. There’s a cliffhanger, so you’ll have to continue the series for more of the story. I’m looking forward to reading the next book.

NOT YA - F-BOMBS GALORE

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2020

DO NOT LET YOUR YOUNG ADULT READ THIS BOOK, if you don't want them learning F-Words. I HATE when someone puts YA in their title knowing it's not. I don't want my 12-16 year old reading words like that.

And the sad part it seemed as if it was going to be a good story until the unnecessary profanities started.

And now for something completely different!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

I very quickly got into this book, it's so refreshingly different from the usual YA/NA plotlines and very cleverly put together. I know I've enjoyed a story when there's a good villain to hate and JT really makes me want to wring his neck! In contrast, the MCs were instantly likable. Rena manages to say a hell of a lot for someone who can't speak- a mark of great characterisation and competent writing! Plenty of meat in the story with a nice side serving of sub-plots too. Lots of hints at a bigger picture so I'm looking forward to the next book! Great to see an intelligent novel encompassing real environmental issues, aimed at upper YA with a smattering of romance and an air of mystery. All in all, a very enjoyable read. Bring on book 2!
