The Sirens by Emilia Hart
3.5

Thank you to the publisher for a free Netgalley. 

Let me start by saying how much more I enjoyed this than Weyward. 

Our main character, Lucy, runs into some trouble at college. She leaves and goes to her sister's house where she finds it deserted. But Jess' phone, car, etc are still there. Lucy was fine as a MC, but her story left a few questions unanswered. Especially when it came to what led her to her sister's house in the first place. 

Jess' diary gives us the backstory we need, a tad slowly, but we get there. 

And finally, we have the story of Mary and her sister Eliza on a ship for criminals. This tale sometimes felt like it was interrupting the main story though the actual plot of this line was interesting. 

overall, I enjoyed this story. I felt the multiple storylines to be a bit choppy and the ending just felt weird.
