But some Sirens have been using their powers for bad and men are dying. Sirens are women with the power to put men under a magical spell. Set in the fictional town of Winter Harbor, the story follows the main character Vanessa Sands who is a Siren. Vanessa's dry-eyed, obsessive grief keeps sympathy at a distance, and her feelings for Simon don't have much heft. Pulse (2012) by Tricia Rayburn is the second book in the author’s Siren series. Not all of the plot threads are well resolved- for example, it's never clear why Vanessa is sometimes able to hear her dead sister speaking to her. Why does Vanessa get searing headaches when Zara is near? And what do strange weather patterns have to do with the string of deaths that follow Justine's? Part romance, part mystery, Rayburn's (the Maggie Bean series) tale is a solid supernatural thriller, but it doesn't coalesce into anything more than the sum of its parts. At every turn, however, a vicious girl named Zara obstructs their path. Teenage Caleb, who was with Justine that night, is missing, so Vanessa joins forces with his older brother, Simon, to find him as well as answers to the mystery.
After fearless and beautiful 18-year-old Justine Sands dies after jumping off an ocean cliff at her family's Maine summer home, her grieving younger sister, Vanessa, is certain it was neither suicide nor an accident.
