Each of Delle Jacobs books is different, and it's always nice to be surprised by the stories she creates. Yet Siren is completely different from anything else she's written. Be prepared to drift into a beautiful fantasy set in the sea and in Hawaii during the time of the missionaries.I read this book the day after I saw Pirates of the Caribbean lV, and was most intrigued by the romance between the preacher and the mermaid. I was also disappointed by not seeing that romance play out. Delle Jacobs' novella could almost be that story. In fact, the heroes in both name their loves Serena. (Although I know the novella was written before the movie came out.)A lovely tale--perfect summer beach reading.
