Vegetarian Vampire
 Siren / int_143c304b
comment
Vegetarian Vampire: Some sirens try to live without killing men, instead getting their energy from drinking large amounts of salt water and flirting with or singing to men. Their lives are much harder than those of other sirens - they're constantly thirsty for salt water, they're weaker than others, and they tend to die young.

Sibling Rivalry
 Siren / int_19209d54
comment
Sibling Rivalry: Justine was a popular, outgoing risk-taker. Vanessa always thought that was just her personality, but she later learns that Justine was jealous of all the attention Vanessa got without even trying because of her siren ancestry, and felt like she had to go to great lengths to get anyone to notice her.

Murder the Hypotenuse: Caleb's love for Justine was so strong that he was the first person who ever resisted Zara's seduction, so Zara drowned Justine. It didn't work - after Justine's death, Caleb fled Winter Harbor to escape Zara.

Weird Weather: Each death occurs during an unforecasted heavy storm that forms rapidly over Winter Harbor and dissipates just as suddenly. Meteorologists are baffled by the number of mysterious storms, and by the fact that they never happen over any town in the area besides Winter Harbor.

Antagonistic Offspring: Betty is the White Sheep of her family as one of the few sirens who don't want to murder humans. A few years ago, she was blinded in an accident while swimming. Ever since then, her daughter Raina has been keeping her indoors, preventing her from swimming, and giving her just enough saltwater to stay alive but not enough to be strong and healthy so Raina and Zara can kill people without Betty trying to intervene.

How Dad Met Mom

How Dad Met Mom: Vanessa asks her aunt Willa how her biological parents met. Willa tells her that they met at the bookstore Charlotte owned in the early '90s. Charlotte didn't want to harm a human, but seducing men is the only way sirens can gain power, and Charlotte is from such a powerful lineage that her magic was able to overpower his love for his wife.

Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You
 Siren / int_d8e0e9f7
comment
Daddy Had a Good Reason for Abandoning You: After Charlotte got pregnant, she let Vanessa's dad go without killing him, which no siren is supposed to do. When the other sirens started to get suspicious, she fled to Canada with baby Vanessa. When Vanessa's dad tracked them down, Charlotte realized how much he loved Vanessa and let him take her, figuring that Vanessa would be safest if she had no connection with Charlotte. She was right - after Charlotte disappeared after an "accidental" fire, Vanessa grew up safely in Boston, having no idea that she was a siren.
