When 17-year-old Josephine Winter's father ships her off to live with her rich cousins on the glittering island of Manhattan, he thinks it's to find a husband. But Jo knows better - there's trouble brewing, and in 1925 all that glitters is not gold. Caught up in a swirl of her cousin's bobbed-hair set - and the men that court them - Jo soon realizes that this world of jazz and gangsters and their molls hides a nest of lies. But when she befriends Lou O'Keefe, the 21-year-old girlfriend of one of the most powerful and dangerous gangsters in town, Jo begins to uncover secrets - secrets that threaten his empire and could destroy everyone she loves. Jo is faced with a choice: hang onto her soul or lose herself in the "decade of decadence".
Set in Prohibition-era New York, with its racy and extravagant lifestyle, new and scandalous fashion trends, and rising middle class, SIRENS is historical fiction and a coming-of-age and romance about a teen caught between her dreams and her father's desires, and a story about secrets and illegal doings and shame and the power of love. It is a story in which Jo questions what is right and what is wrong, and how shadowy the land is that lies between the two.
