    An imaginative, captivating  and delightful story
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2012*

Something evil has come to the town of Capri.First there were the missing boys. And now something has happened to Gemma Fisher.Something that changed her. Something that made her more powerful, more alluring... hungry.She knew she shouldn't have trusted those girls. But it was almost as if she couldn't resist. There was just something about them.And now she has a choice to make. A choice that really isn't a choice. Because no matter what she chooses to do, there will be a price. It's only a matter of who will have to pay it.***Wake is an imaginative, captivating and delightful first book in author Amanda Hocking's Watersong series. With a few unexpected twists, dark secrets and grisly discoveries, and an opening that hints at all that is to come, this story will immediately engage and entertain.Combining fantasy and myth, Wake introduces readers to Gemma Fisher, a girl who is confident, beautiful and determined. A girl who loves being in the water more than anything. A girl who is driven and focused on making her dream of swimming at the Olympics a reality. A girl who isn't about to let anything stand in her way of her dreams. Until, that one night that changes everything.Wake sets the stage for this series, gives readers a bit of a mystery to solve, puts a character in an incredibly difficult predicament and leaves things wide open for the next book. And it gives them just a taste of some of the darker elements that are sure to come.This story is told from Gemma and her sister Harper's perspectives. Both are strong female main characters with very different personalities who lead very different lives. So, having this dual perspective gives readers a rather interesting look at the events as they unfold. But it does at times become a bit confusing when the perspective switches back and forth too rapidly.In Wake readers will learn what happens to Gemma after her encounter with the three terrifying but stunningly beautiful girls that have come to the town of Capri. They'll find out just what sacrifice's she'll have to make. And they'll learn whether love will be strong enough to overcome the lure of something darker, more powerful and far more deadly.Amanda Hocking has once again written a story that is awash with her creativity and inventiveness. She has taken a tale that has been told and brought her unique style to it. She has created characters that are easy to relate to. And she's mixed in both a sweet simplicity and a dark complexity that makes this story interesting and will make readers eager for the next installment.And with its quick pace, easy flow and not one but two budding romances, Wake will appeal to readers who are fans of mermaid stories with a bit of a darker feel, fans of the author and readers just looking for a fast, fun and engaging story.

    Wake, A Watersong Novel, Amanda Hocking
  

*by K***M on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2012*

First of all, I'm a HUGE fan of Amanda Hocking with capital letters. I've bought all of her books (including the numerous editions of the Trylle Trilogy), and loved every single one of them. I had high expectations for Wake, but it just didn't impress me as much as the other books. But, I still loved it, never the less!The book isn't written in the first person, but we read the story in both Gemma's and Harper's point of view, which means double romance!What was great about this book is that the plot isn't the same old Vampire/ Werewolf/ Fallen Angel based story. I mean, everyone loves those kinds of books, but we need a tad bit of change now and then. Don't you think? This book is about Sirens, not mermaids, Sirens. Amanda Hocking has put some Greek mythology in it. And I loved it! There were several plot twists in the book, which I really enjoyed.There are two love interests going on here: Gemma and Alex ( I cute couple, I'd say) and Harper and Daniel ( another cute couple). Alex is the shy boy who is funny and cute. He is 'supposed' to be Harper's best friend, but they have fallen appart over the years. Daniel is a boy who lives in a boat, and has made his frist impression on Harper very strong. The first time Harper saw Daniel, he was going to take a wee wee, and she accidentally saw his *cough* man parts *cough*, if you know what I mean. Both boys are likable, cute and funny, but I wouldn't write them down on the 'Heartthrob' category.The romance in this book is cute, nothing dark or heavy, which I think is a perfect summer read.A real bummer was that I couldn't connect with the characters much. What does that mean? Well, it means no butterfies in the stomach, and no I-want-to-punch-the-pillow-because-I-hate-that-character feelings. Most of Amanda Hocking's books were easy to connect with all characters, but obviously, it wasn't that great in Wake. Also, the character development was a real problem here. It seemed unlikely that Gemma was such a down-to-earth girl when she is, supposedly, the prettiest girl in the beach town. Harper, her older sister, took the mothering role. Uh, problem there. Harper is only two years older than Gemma. If Harper were to take the mothering role, she should;ve been a bit older than that. But, I understand she loves her sister and wants to take care of her.Overall, I think Wake is a great book with an awesome plot which you'll enjoy reading now that it's summer time. Even though there were a few flaws (I remember one editing error where two words where written together, nothing big). I really enjoyed reading it-- it was entertaining, different. I'm totally looking forward for the next book in the Watersong series!

    Awesome plot but a bit slow
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 26, 2019*

I really enjoyed this book although it almost seems to be written as a prologue to the events of the other books in the series than an actual stand-alone. I wasn't massively enthralled with the actual writing but I did for sure fall in love with the ideas and plot hence the 4 stars. I think this story is more to appeal to niche audiences who want to read through and imagine themselves in the fantasy side of things as opposed to just being written as a good story, and there's honestly nothing wrong with that - I mean who doesn't want to be surrounded by dangerous supernatural secrets? - even as a frequent reader of high-quality adult and young-adult books i still found this an enjoyable read. The first half of the novel is quite slow to progress and the characters do feel a bit flat and *perfect*, although again, I really enjoyed the premise and will continue to read the other novels in the series. My advice is; don't read this for the quality, read it for the premise.
