Drowning Beneath The Waves by PlattenumSwiftie9685

(Book #2 in the Family Ties Series) "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don't know what's worse: drowning beneath the waves, or dying of thirst." At this point in her life, the above quote basically sums up Faye Mercer. After being diagnosed with depression two years ago, it's all she can do to keep a smile on her face, keep being positive and happy. The demons of her past have kept her beneath the waves for months now, hardly allowing her to breathe. From nightmares to insomnia, she can't seem to catch a break. Her reputation as a Siren has thrust her into a spotlight for which she wasn't prepared; to say nothing of her PTSD associated with said reputation. Her parents and brother are doing their best to carry on as normal as possible, but even they have tough days. If it wasn't for Waverly, she probably wouldn't be able to get out of bed. It all comes to a head one day when she receives a letter inviting her to a special 'for Sirens only' concert. She hasn't used her voice in years, hasn't even allowed herself to even entertain the thought. Will she be able to keep her head above water, or will she find herself flailing, drowning all over again? Read to find out.

Siren by kalriaa

Legends, Myths & Fairytales. The world is full of these stories, specifically those told of mythical, magical creatures that dwell in the ocean - Sirens. Sirens are described as the most hauntingly beautiful and dangerous beings of the sea. They are rumored to lure sailors with their hypnotising songs. Ever wondered why? Our story begins in a small coastal town nestled between mountains and the shimmering, endless ocean. There, a young woman by the name of Marina resides. Marina's tale doesn't start as a Legend, Myth, or Fairytale, but as a rumor. Known for her celestial beauty and captivating voice, her destiny is not one she chose but rather one that was forced upon her.

Cassia Winslow was one of the few humans who knew about the dark creatures that prowled deep within the waters, and she had already paid the price, or so she thought. ** Having been ripped apart by the loss of her family to sirens, Cassia became a ruthless siren hunter. Leading a team of siren hunters, Cassia wanted to kill as many of them as possible. Love took a gamble as Asher Berkshire--a man from a different reign, joins Cassia, plunging toward a sea of horrors. But Cassia's already crumbling life, took a dark turn as the sirens came out from the sea and began to stain the land with blood. Like a game of chess, endangering the lives of each person Cassia held dear. While Cassia finds herself drawn deeper into the dark, deep marine world, she tries to unravel the blurred layers of water that sheltered the truths of the sirens. But time is ticking, and within her, Cassia has a fearful truth: one that could ruin everything. After all, the creatures in depth are born there because of what they are capable of. ****** NOTE: You do not need to know anything about sirens to read this story.
