See this review and more on Whiley ReadsAh, what can you say about Wake? I’m not really sure. The best I can come up with is to damn it with faint praise. It was very…booky. It left little impression on me, although it was an easy enough, quick read. The whole thing was extremely straightforwar...
Great book featuring two equally interesting sisters living in what would be an idyllic small town by the ocean if it weren’t for three creepy but beautiful girls who are hanging around. In the water those creepy girls transform into what looks like mermaids but they’re actually sirens, overly attra...
For fans of Amanda Hocking's Trylle series, you might find Wake a little lacking of the magical charm she set in her other books, but Wake was still a tremendously wonderful read. In fact, right after I read it, I bought the second book, Lullaby, and read it that same day. In the goodreads descripti...
I think I'll give this one a 3.5 rating. Yeah, that sounds right.So this is my first experience reading a book by Amanda Hocking that is "legitimate", whatever that means. My overall feeling... meh.Which is weird for me, but I don't know if it's overreaching—because this is the second book of hers...
Note: The “Best of 2012” tag refers to books I received at work for our Best of the Year program. I put those under one tag so I can find my reviews easily. It does not reflect my actual opinion.I give Amanda Hocking credit for one thing—she knows how to market her books. Given that I did pay .99 fo...
This reads like a mash up of the Sirens meets The Little Mermaid with a hint of the 3 witches in Macbeth. I am quite surprised how readable it was compared to her previous trilogy.
Wake did not work for me at all. The first third of the book is about the main character's screwed up home lives. Of the two main characters Gemma is bland but okay and Harper is so annoying I could barely read her parts. In fact, it's her going off on her little sister Gemma for the seventeenth tim...
Gemma has confidence and a love for the water. When boys begin going missing, Gemma's sister, Harper, forbids her to go on her nightly swims in the bay. The family dynamic stands out in this book. Harper has practically raised Gemma since their mother's accident. Both girls live with their fathe...
My Rating: 2.0 First thought as soon as I finished the book: Yay! Thank goodness, I'm finally done! The torture is over! Sadly, yes, Wake was that bad. I loved Amanda Hocking's Trylle trilogy, although I wasn't completely satisfied with the last two books in that series. However, Wake is completely ...
"Gorgeous. Fearless. Dangerous. They're the kind of girls you envy; the kind of girls you want to hate." I REALLY hate that tagline, but I'm willing to give this book a try.
