About this listen

In this “decadent” thriller, a Hollywood heartthrob and his ex-wife shoot a blockbuster film on an isolated island–soon finding themselves trapped with each other’s long-buried secrets and lies (Emily Henry, NYT bestselling author of Book Lovers).

Summer is heating up, and some of Hollywood's most notorious players are assembled on the Caribbean island of St. Genesius to film The Siren, starring dangerously handsome megastar Cole Power playing opposite his ex-wife, Stella Rivers. The film promises to be a hit with its steamy storyline and superstar cast.

Stella, an infamously unstable actress, is struggling to reclaim the career she lost in the wake of several 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 plans of her own that threaten to upend everyone's plans.

When a hurricane traps them on the island, the women find themselves united against a common enemy. But as deceptions come to light, misplaced trust may prove more perilous than the storm itself.

Critic reviews

"[A] well-done ensemble performance . . . Narrator Christine Lakin effectively portrays the grit and determination of producer Taylor, with narrator Erin Bennett's softer tones convincingly portraying the drugged-out ex-wife, Stella. Kamali Minter's portrayal of the assistant, Felicity, is especially convincing. The addition of news snippets delivered by Will Collyer adds to the easy flow of the story."—AudioFile Magazine
"The Siren by Katherine St. John is more than a juicy insight into Hollywood and its enigmatic stars; it's a wry look at the bright lights of fame that can both illuminate and incinerate. Alternating viewpoints of the three strong female protagonists are interspersed with news flashes and insider gossip allowing the reader to get inside the heads of each narrator, and to gather the careful clues and red herrings St. John expertly drops along the way. The exotic Caribbean setting and conflicted characters coupled with an edge-of-your-seat stormy climax makes this a book you will struggle to put down."—Karen White, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Night in London
The Siren may start as a gossipy peek behind the scenes of a high-stakes movie shoot, but it quickly spins into an unflinching portrait of the politics of truth and deception in Hollywood.”—Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan, bestselling authors of The Royal We and The Heir Affair
"A deliciously tantalizing read that immediately sucks you in. When people call something a page turner, this is what they mean! I couldn't put The Siren down and I didn't want to give it up when it was over."—Abby Jimenez, USA Today bestselling author of Life's Too Short
"Behind the glitz and glamour lie some truly dark secrets. The cast of actors and actresses made fabulously deceptive characters who kept me guessing right the way through. The Siren is a captivating mystery with a glamorous Caribbean setting and one of the most original and fascinating villains I've come across."—Allie Reynolds, author of Shiver
"The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo on a beach, this shimmering jewel of a novel shares the captivating stories of three women navigating the rocky shores of modern-day Hollywood."—Eliza Jane Brazier, author of If I Disappear
"[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 (Starred Review)
"Batten down the book clubs, Katherine St. John is on deck!"—Adriana Trigiani, New York Times bestselling author of Tony's Wife, Praise for The Lion's Den

This was the dullest listen ever. I gave up after about 4 hours of listening. It was just one whiny character after the next prattling on - couldn’t distinguish one woman from the other. Realised I couldn’t give a damn what happened or what would happen. Don’t waste a credit!

Totally gave up caring!
