Like seriously?! He's dying without her voice and she's dying without his. So basically the fact that Akinli heard her voice and without hearing his voice anymore they're both dying. ***SPOILERS*** IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK THEN SCROLL PAST THIS PART!!! The girls work over time to find out how they can save Kahlen and what Akinli has to do with it. She is a Siren and supposed to be inhuman so she should never get sick or need sleep. Then Kahlen begins to get sick and no one can explain why. Things look great for a little while, until Kahlen makes a major mistake and bargains with the Ocean who adds even more time to her "sentence." Kahlen is devastated about it and her sisters try to help her. Kahlen runs away and runs into Akinli who offers her a place to stay with him and his cousins. Once the Ocean realizes what is happening, it/she becomes furious with Kahlen. This basically begins a long journey of Kahlen being depressed and the others being annoyed/worried with her. They have a date and afterwards, Kahlen freaks out and is afraid of falling in love with him so she forces the girls to move to another state. Kahlen is taken aback by his kindness and she starts to fall for him. He still talks to her and even gets her a pen/notepad to write with. He realizes she can't speak, and he's ok with that. Kahlen meets a boy named Akinli at the library and he is unlike anyone she has ever met. She's unlike her sisters in the fact that she feels immense guilt after each Song and she actually keeps scrapbooks of each shipwreck because of her guilt. She's the oldest one living in the house with the others in Florida. Kahlen has always been very careful not to speak or bond with anyone that isn't her Siren sisters. If they do, whatever human hears their voice will go straight to the Ocean and kill themselves. The girls live on land in together in cities but are forbidden to speak. The Ocean became like a mother figure for her since she lost hers. She agreed to spend the next century as a Siren and lure humans to the depths of the Ocean with their song. She was saved by the Ocean (who is basically a spirit) when she was drowning after hearing the Siren song. That still makes no sense, but I can't explain without spoilers. I like HOW it ended (for the most part), but I don't like the WAY it ended. I liked the bond between the Sirens, I thought it was realistic and yet something that everyone wants. It took me a little while to adjust to it, but once I did I liked it. The premise is very interesting and unusual. I'm not really sure where to start with this book.
