Sirena by Donna Jo Napoli

For those of you who slept in history class, the sirens were these Greek mythology babes who lured dudes to their deaths by singing so sweet that guys crashed their ships just to get closer to the music. Napoli has taken that myth, mixed it up with The Little Mermaid, and created a tale of true love that will break your heart. Sirena, our tender-hearted mermaid/siren decides that she would rather live alone than accidentally kill another man softly with her song. But fate steps in, as it often does in mythology, and a gorgeous guy ends up being stranded on Sirena’s deserted isle. Of course, our mermaid babe falls for him, but there’s a catch. If the two of them become lovers, Sirena will gain immortal status, but her poor boyfriend will remain the same. Does Sirena want to watch her true love grow old while she stays forever young? Tune into Napoli’s newest myth-mash and find out!
