About this eBook

Fall under the spell of Wake—the first book in an achingly beautiful new series by celebrated author Amanda Hocking—and lose yourself to the Watersong.

Gorgeous. Fearless. Dangerous. They're the kind of girls you envy; the kind of girls you want to hate. Strangers in town for the summer, Penn, Lexi and Thea have caught everyone's attention—but it's Gemma who's attracted theirs. She's the one they've chosen to be part of their group.

Gemma seems to have it all—she's carefree, pretty, and falling in love with Alex, the boy next door. He's always been just a friend, but this summer they've taken their relationship to the next level, and now there's no going back. Then one night, Gemma's ordinary life changes forever. She's taking a late night swim under the stars when she finds Penn, Lexi and Thea partying on the cove. They invite her to join them, and the next morning she wakes up on the beach feeling groggy and sick, knowing something is different.

Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. But her new powers come with a terrifying price. And as she uncovers the truth, she's is forced to choose between staying with those she loves—or entering a new world brimming with dark hungers and unimaginable secrets.

Ratings and reviews

Her books are all very similar and I can't say I am a huge fan but they are a nice easy read when you don't want to think to much about what you are reading.

Loved it!! Definitely kept me guessing the entire time, not at all how I expected it to end. I can't even wait for the next one. An easy read I finished it in 2 days, one of those books you don't want to put down. I really enjoyed it.

I didn't get this book on here, I actually bought it at a bookstore, but this book was so amazing, I've read it four times this week! I like it even more than the hunger games or twilight- which is saying something! Gemma is such a lovable character and I love how you are kept wondering, "what is she?" Or "what's happening to her"? Its a different idea than just plain old mermaids or something, with plenty of interesting twists. This book is by far the best book I have ever read... a def buy!! :-)
