(4) YA Lorelei's strained household is quiet; her grandmother has prohibited her from singing. But Lorelei's rocker crush Chris's wailing makes her throat itch to do the same. Is it family myth or fact that her voice is dangerous? Romanoff's lyrical descriptions of adolescence and music ring true, but obvious foreshadowing hampers the novel's twist into a modernization of the siren legend.
