Wake by Amanda Hocking

5.0

I can only start out this review by saying: Ms Amanda Hocking, you are a fantasy genius! I've read the complete Trylle trilogy and I stll fangirl about things from it, and now I am also a huge fan of the Watersong series!

This book was so, so good. There was never any part of it that I was bored. The characters were fantastic, and the story was cool. It reminded me a bit of Aqumarine + The Lying Game... (Both of those books are very high on my favorites list, by the way).

I didn't like Penn, Theia, or Lexi, and they're up to no good... but I think that's how you're supposed to feel towards them. Gemma was my favorite character. I'm not sure what made her my favorite for me, but from the moment I started reading about her, I just liked her a lot. Harper is a good character, too but I feel like she might be a bit too overprotective of Gemma. I did like how she acted as a mother to her because of what happened with their mom. Alex is just too amazing - enough said. I didn't like Daniel in the beginning of the book but I warmed up to him, a bit like Harper did. By the end I was very happy about him appearing more and more.

I did find some of it to be predictable, but for me that doesn't matter that much. If I'm right I like to see how the author makes everything play out, and if I'm wrong, then I like being surprised!

Overall, I loved this book!! Awesome read.
