Book Description

November 27, 2012 Watersong (Book 2)

Harper only wanted a safe, normal life. But when her younger sister Gemma runs off with a dangerous clique of beautiful girls, Penn, Thea, and Lexi, everything changes. Vowing to get her sister back no matter what the cost, Harper must face dangers unlike any she's ever experienced. Fortunately, she has Daniel by her side, a gorgeous guy who's devoted to helping her find her sister—and who's immune to the girls' dark powers.

While Harper searches for her sister, Gemma struggles to adjust to her new life.  Gemma's powers are growing by the day, and the longer she lives with her new "sisters," the harder it is to resist entering their magical world.  It's a realm both dark and beautiful, and where she's plagued by strange hungers and unspeakable needs.  Just as she's drifting far away from her old life,  Harper and Daniel find her...but no one can deny how much she's changed.  All she wants is to return to her family and the mortal world, but how can she do that when she's become something else entirely—and will they still love her once they learn the truth?

Prepare to fall under the spell of Lullaby, the second book in the Watersong series from New York Times bestselling author Amanda Hocking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Come-on. Finish it & write a complete book. February 4, 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Come-on. Either finish it & write a complete book, not just a few chapters for the middle of this story to lead us on. After the first book, which I liked, and the start of this, which followed, the author cut to a short ending (to push up sales for the finale??)(or I hope the next one is the finale). When I finished, I felt like I paid my money and someone had ripped off the last half of the book (I guess to keep the sales coming). But I'm so ticked off at her now, I'm not sure I want to buy any more (chapters) to this story or any of her other books.

In fairness, what was there was good.. but what happened, did she get writers block with a deadline looming, & just say screw-it, I'll send in what's there, take some time off and finish it someday later...

4.0 out of 5 stars Live To Read February 15, 2013
Format:Hardcover
Gemma is now a full-on mermaid, and she’s trying to stop her siren ways. Life is very difficult for her, but she’s moving forward at a good pace. Her sister Harper, with the trusty sidekick Daniel, is trying to find out where the other mermaids have taken her.

This is the second book to the Watersong story, and it was better than the first. In Wake, I was really bored and skipped many parts, but in Lullaby I only did some of the time. It still didn’t captivate me; I said to myself “get on with it”, but the characters made the ride enjoyable. Gemma is strong willed and a great lead. In the first book, I looked past her. She was annoying to me. In this book she has backbone and really stands up for what she believes in. That’s the type of character I like: someone who can overcome problems to the best of their ability while learning in the process! Harper and Daniel were good to read too, but those were the parts I skipped over. I wanted to learn more about Gemma and mermaids; I’m glad my questions were answered. If I don’t like a plot, the characters have to keep me going; that’s what Hocking did. I stayed to the end of the book because I wanted to know what will happen to Gemma. She really grew on me and I rooted for her throughout the whole book. Again, it was a little slow, but with a tad bit of skimming - it was good for me. If you’re wishy-washy about Wake, I say give this book a try. It’s definitely a step up, and I recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lullaby Sucks You Under and Never Let's Go December 18, 2012
By Wendy
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed this sequel to Wake. This book picks up right where we left off. Gemma has gone with the sirens, while Harper, Alex, and Daniel are left to face with the aftermath and finding Gemma. While most authors can't effectively do third person POV with alternating perspectives, Amanda Hocking handles it extremely well, and the story flows very nicely. There was never a time where I was confused or bored with the story. What I find even more amazing is that Ms. Hocking has created each character with a unique voice and personality. Sometimes when an author writes alternating POV's, the voices sound the same, but that is not the case in this book.

In Wake, I never felt that true connection to Harper, Alex, or Daniel, but that completely disappeared in this novel. Harper and Alex work extremely hard to find Gemma, and it was refreshing to see the characters develop into strong leads. There are a lot of tense moments in this novel, and the characters handle themselves in the way you would expect. None of the characters are these amazing, heroic people. They are ordinary characters faced with an unbelievable task, and that is what makes them extraordinary. My one complaint...there wasn't nearly enough Daniel. Even though Daniel wasn't very prominent in the last book either, I still fell in love with him. However, he isn't in this book nearly as much as he should in my opinion. Nevertheless, the scenes he is in, well let's just say they don't disappoint. He is even sweeter and more charming, if that's even possible. One of the other stand out characters...Marcy. I love this girl! In Wake, I barely registered her, but boy does she impress in this book. I particularly loved the scene where she and Harper (mainly Marcy) were discussing the T. Rex. Here's a taste...

I wish there was more action, but I could not put it down until it ended. I have to read the next book just so I know there was a way out for them. It is not over.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Sequel! December 16, 2012
By EAKE
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This was a great second in the book. I was very surprised about a few of the big events that happened. Now I can't wait until April for Tidal to see what happens. I think there is going to be 4 books total in this series. I really want to see if they can find a way to break the curse. It seems impossible, but I cannot figure out any other way the end of the series can go. Somehow they have to set Gemma free or kill Penn at least. I just can't think of how it is all going to play out. The only thing I can think of is that Thea might help Gemma overpower Penn, but then what? I have nothing to go on, so anyone reading this review, this is just my own personaly musings on the series and nothing directly from Amanda Hocking. I have enjoyed all of her series and this one is right up there with the others. I really like the characters- even Penn who is evil! You can really feel for Alex who lost his love, Gemma who dreads what she is becoming, and Harper who cares for her sister more than anything else in the world. Oh yeah! Don't forget Daniel who is so smitten with Harper it is funny. I am really interested to see where the book goes from here!
