Throughout our lives, we all come into contact with some amazing people. Some of
them come, some of them go, and some of them even stay for a while. At its
heart, The Siren’s Call is the story of the love between friends—what we do to
sustain our friendships, and, sadly, what we do to destroy them. Hopefully in
that process somewhere lies a bit of redemption.Steven Perry and Kenneth Pierson
are best friends and trusted partners in the successful Detroit law firm they
co-founded. They are handsome, young, bright, and at the top of their game with
the world at their feet—that is until Steve’s fiancée is killed by a drunk
driver. Consumed by grief, Steve can’t sleep. So in the middle of the night
Steve impulsively drives to Kip’s northern Lake Michigan retreat in an attempt
to escape and begins to hear voices in his head.Concerned for his friend’s
sanity, Kip convinces Steve to join him in Hawaii for a much needed extended
vacation—spring break style. Fun in the sun, hilarious hijinks, surfing lessons,
remembered dreams and unexpected meetings with friends from home all ensue. But
while Steve struggles to deal with his own grief and potentially gestating
madness, he begins to suspect that Kip is wrestling with his own demons that Kip
refuses to reveal—stressing their relationship to the breaking point. But as
Kip’s best friend, Steve cannot imagine neither the depth of Kip’s deception nor
the terrible secret he is hiding.Filled with raw emotional power and vivid
images of the surrounding landscapes, The Siren’s Call is an unforgettable story
of two friends trying to cope with profound grief the best way they know how and
make sense out of a senseless personal tragedy. - Amazon
REVIEW
This began as a slow read for me. After Kip and Steven take their trip to Hawaii, the book picks up momentum. Although Author Matthew Urdan gave very detailed descriptions of his characters and places in the book; some of them were unbelievable.
I believe Author Urdan digressed too much from the main storyline into areas that did not contribute to the book. Author Urdan did show how secrets can ruin friendships and become strained when the truth is not revealed.
