Although the weather in New York didn't act like it this weekend, summer is here! That means our beach reading enthusiasts are hard at work to find you the newest entertaining beach reads, and we'd like to introduce you to Katherine St. John! Kat has penned two books, and this is her second: The Siren.
Told from the perspectives of three women, The Siren is a soapy dramatic tale of what might just unwind on a movie set on the island of St. Genesius; Kat clearly did her research because that is the patron saint of actors. She should know; her bio states she has acted so in the spirit of what Hemingway says she is writing on what she knows.
Though it weighs in at nearly 400 pages, don't let that heft food you as it is a super quick read and you can read it in an afternoon because the pace is quick as a bunny. Lighthearted and entertaining, The Siren is just as essential as sunscreen for tacking a successful fun-filled beach day.

Katherine St. John returns after THE LION’S DEN with THE SIREN (5/4/21), a fabulously escapist read that combines glamour and a gorgeous island locale with an exposé on the effects of fame
Amid a sizzling-hot summer, Hollywood’s most notorious faces assemble 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.
