No Spoilers!!

Hey guys, I'm back with a review. Today I am reviewing "The Siren" by Kiera Cass. Before I begin my review, I want you to know that I've read her "Selection" series. Well, I read the first two but I'm planning on reading the last three books. I loved the books and I really wanted to read this one because I love books about Siren's. I've read another series with Siren's called the "Watersong" series by Amanda Hocking and I really recommend that series because it's really good. So, if you loved this book I bet you will love that series too. Anyway, let's get on with the review. 

The Plot(Goodreads Summary)

   Years ago, Kahlen was rescued from drowning by the Ocean. To repay her debt, she has served as a Siren ever since, using her voice to lure countless strangers to their deaths. Though a single word from Kahlen can kill, she can’t resist spending her days on land, watching ordinary people and longing for the day when she will be able to speak and laugh and live freely among them again.

Kahlen is resigned to finishing her sentence in solitude...until she meets Akinli. Handsome, caring, and kind, Akinli is everything Kahlen ever dreamed of.

Falling in love with a human breaks the Ocean’s rules. But for the first time in a lifetime of following the rules, Kahlen is determined to follow her heart.

My Opinion

I loved this book so much you guys! This book is definitely my favorite book of 2016 so far, and it's also my favorite book of all time. 

First let's talk about the writing.

I really enjoyed Kiera's writing style in this book. It was beautiful and perfect. 

I really loved the plot for this book, it was so original. I loved reading about the Siren's and "The Ocean" made the book so original. I loved Kahlen's relationship with "Her". It was so cool how she was able to talk and communicate with "The Ocean." She felt like she was Kahlen's Mom. It was just so unique. I also thought the book was unique because when the girls are on land, they can't talk around people. 

Finally let's talk about the characters.

First of all, I absolutely loved our main protagonist, Kahlen. She was so awesome and very relatable. She's very nice and caring and I just loved her so much. I loved her friends, Miaka, Elizabeth, Aisling and Padma. They were so nice and I loved reading about them. I loved Akinli so much! If you don't know, he is Kahlen's love interest. I loved him because he was so kind and genuine. He's not like most guys. I loved his relationship with Kahlen. It was so unique because she can't talk to him and he accepted it and still wanted to see her. I loved how he always gave her paper and a pen to write down what she can't say to him. Most guys wouldn't like a girl that can't talk, and I'm amazed by how much he cared about her. Their relationship was just so cool and I loved how even though she couldn't talk to him, they were able to form a relationship. I just loved their relationship overall. And if your wondering, no it wasn't insta-love. Their relationship was perfect. Yes, they didn't know each other for that long, but it just didn't feel like insta-love to me.       

Overall, this book was amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone. This book was so unique and it's funny because I just read "Soundless" which was also a unique book. This book is definitely worth a buy and please don't listen to all the bad reviews. So yeah that's my review. Thank you so much for reading and stay tuned for more, bye! :)
