Synopsis:
Forget whatever you think you know. History has been rewritten.
In a future world where rising ocean levels swallow coastal cities and people scramble for resources on an overpopulated earth, the survival of the human race depends on biogenetic research to develop aquatic capabilities. The year is 2098, and it has never been more dangerous for the elusive Sirens to be discovered.
Until now, the Sirens have remained eclipsed from the eyes of the human world, inhabiting an obscure, undiscovered island in the Indian Ocean. In a burgeoning discontent among the restless youth, the Sirens, led by a headstrong Mello Seaford, decide to test the waters of open society by striking a deal with the U.S. megacorporation, DiviniGen Inc. And they risk everything to do it.
Has Mello led his people astray, jeopardizing their cherished island by guiding them into the hands of human greed? Will the risk prove worth it, or will the Sirens be forced to face the darkness of eternal isolation?
One person may hold the key to success. From across the ocean, budding scientist Lorelei Phoenix embarks on a dangerous journey into a hidden world, one in which she finds herself connected by more than just the ancestry of her people. Is she alone capable of bridging a centuries long gap between species?
When two worlds collide, the rising tide of love and acceptance will lift all boats… or sink a ship of titanic proportion.
Review
There was much of the book I liked, like how it showed a negatively affect of religion and monopolies having too much power. There's also totally mermaids in this book.
My biggest issue was that it was all over the place with the character switching and flashbacks, so it was a bit hard for me to keep up with at times. There's also a couple instances of incorrect usage of a word.
So, interesting book. Pretty good. I do suggest you give it a shot, but don't be surprised if you get confused.
