From the author of The Lion's Den, comes a "reading experience that's as layered and decadent as a slice of tiramisu" about a Hollywood heartthrob, his co-star ex-wife, and a film set on an isolated island that will unearth long-buried secrets - and unravel years of lies (Emily Henry).
In the midst of a sizzling hot summer, some of Hollywood's most notorious faces are assembled on the idyllic Caribbean island of St. Genesius to film The Siren, starring dangerously handsome megastar Cole Power playing opposite his ex-wife, Stella Rivers. The surefire blockbuster promises to entice audiences with its sultry storyline and intimately connected cast.
Three very different women arrive on set, each with her own motive. Stella, an infamously unstable actress, is struggling to reclaim the career she lost in the wake of multiple, very 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 designs of her own that threaten to upend everyone's plans.
With a hurricane brewing offshore, each woman finds herself trapped on the island, united against a common enemy. But as deceptions come to light, misplaced trust may prove more perilous than the storm itself.
Katherine St. John is a native of Mississippi, graduate of the University of Southern California, and author of the critically acclaimed novel The Lion's Den. When she's not writing, she can be found hiking or on the beach with a good book. Katherine currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and children.
"[A] superb tale of revenge and unbridled ego . . . The scene is set for action, intrigue, murder, and heart-stopping adventure. St. John keeps readers deliciously off-balance with each new revelation about the characters and their motives, as revealed through the alternating viewpoints of Stella, Felicity, and Taylor. This is pure, riveting entertainment." - Publishers Weekly
"Brings Old Hollywood to life." - PopSugar
"If there's one word to describe The Siren, it's this: salacious . . . A reading experience that's as layered and decadent as a slice of tiramisu . . . The sense of foreboding grows alongside the threat of a hurricane hitting the film's shooting location in the Caribbean. If you put The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Gone Girl and Big Little Lies into a blender, you might get The Siren--pulpy and scandalous enough to compete with a glossy-paged gossip rag, but with brisk, lucid writing." - Emily Henry, New York Times bestselling author of Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, New York Times Book Review
"The novel's author, Katherine St. John, has delivered the goods . . . Shocking revelations, intrigue, murder, and a hurricane are all
in the mix. It's hell and high water. And a high old time." - Wall Street Journal
"A beach read par excellence." - Zoomer
