Synopsis

In this “decadent” thriller, a Hollywood heartthrob and his ex-wife shoot a blockbuster film on an isolated island–soon finding themselves trapped with each other’s long-buried secrets and lies (Emily Henry, NYT bestselling author of Book Lovers).

Summer is heating up, and some of Hollywood's most notorious players are assembled on the Caribbean island of St. Genesius to film The Siren, starring dangerously handsome megastar Cole Power playing opposite his ex-wife, Stella Rivers. The film promises to be a hit with its steamy storyline and superstar cast.

Stella, an infamously unstable actress, is struggling to reclaim the career she lost in the wake of several public breakdowns.
Taylor, a fledgling producer, is anxious to work on a film she hopes will turn her career around after her last job ended in scandal.
And Felicity, Stella's mysterious new assistant, harbors plans of her own that threaten to upend everyone's plans.

When a hurricane traps them on the island, the women find themselves united against a common enemy. But as deceptions come to light, misplaced trust may prove more perilous than the storm itself.

Quotes

"[A] well-done ensemble performance . . . Narrator Christine Lakin effectively portrays the grit and determination of producer Taylor, with narrator Erin Bennett's softer tones convincingly portraying the drugged-out ex-wife, Stella. Kamali Minter's portrayal of the assistant, Felicity, is especially convincing. The addition of news snippets delivered by Will Collyer adds to the easy flow of the story."—AudioFile Magazine

"The Siren by Katherine St. John is more than a juicy insight into Hollywood and its enigmatic stars; it's a wry look at the bright lights of fame that can both illuminate and incinerate. Alternating viewpoints of the three strong female protagonists are interspersed with news flashes and insider gossip allowing the reader to get inside the heads of each narrator, and to gather the careful clues and red herrings St. John expertly drops along the way. The exotic Caribbean setting and conflicted characters coupled with an edge-of-your-seat stormy climax makes this a book you will struggle to put down."—Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Night in London

"Behind the glitz and glamour lie some truly dark secrets. The cast of actors and actresses made fabulously deceptive characters who kept me guessing right the way through.
