This may be because it is the second in the series and Hocking is therefore holding back for an explosive finale. I enjoyed the story but it did seem quite slow at times and I felt slightly as if not enough actually happened. This book was good and an entertaining read but for me, fell short of brilliant. Gemma is trying to face up to her new future, after leaving her family and Alex behind, but is not prepared for life as a siren. Harper is desperate to find her sister and rescue her from the clutches of Penn and co, but she has no idea where to start in finding her. The action picks up immediately after the events of 'Wake'. Note: Opinions expressed in reviews and articles on this site are those of the author(s) and not necessarily those of BookLoons.'Lullaby' is the second book in Amanda Hocking's Watersong trilogy. However it still intrigues enough to leave fans anxious for the next Watersong episode, Tidal in spring 2013. L ullaby is not as good as Wake, the story seeming drawn out more than necessary. And she makes a tough decision about Alex - for his own safety. She makes a truce with the other sirens, who remain in Capri to keep an eye on her. Fortunately Daniel is immune to their influence and Gemma believes she might have found a way to break the siren curse. This second episode ends after Gemma returns home, and is followed by the siren trio, out for blood, especially the monstrous Penn. When she finally succumbs, she is deeply shamed and does not tell Alex or Harper after they finally track her down. In the meantime, Gemma is trying to suppress her new siren hungers and suffers for it. As Lullaby opens, they are desperately trying to find her, with the help of Daniel, who is attracted to the controlling Harper. The trio had already killed several local boys.Īs the first episode ended, Gemma consented to go away with the sirens in order to save the lives of those she loved most - her mothering elder sister Harper and her boyfriend Alex.
She gained extreme strength, healing, beauty, and the ability to breathe underwater, but also a siren's need to feed on men. They enticed her to take a drink that radically changed her. After two failed attempts they settled on sixteen-year-old Gemma, a talented swimmer with a deep love of the ocean. In Wake, immortal sirens (Penn, Lexi and Thea) desperately needed to add to their number, to assure their survival. But if the title makes you think of mermaids, don't - this is a tale of ruthless sirens, the ones whose enticing songs lured sailors to watery graves. L ullaby follows Wake as the second in Amanda Hocking's appealing Watersong series.
