I didn't think this book was as good as the first but this series is really interesting. I enjoyed learning more about the girls and Gemma. I am actually really starting to like Thea too and kinda hope that things works out for her as we'll.

I enjoyed the first one in the series better. There was barely any plot here and I still don't care much for Gemme. The only character I'm somewhat interested in is Harper, her older sister. At least it was a fast read.

I enjoyed this one way more than the first. Hopefully the next one is faster paced.

Daniel was just as good (if not better) in this installment! That part at the end with Penn- oh my gosh it was AMAZING. The awkward romance between Harper and him did not dissapoint, and was equally hilarious. I was so glad when they finally DID get together.

Oh, Alex and Gemma were good, too...but Daniel, guys.

DANIEL.

Now i get to cry in the next two when Penn makes moves on him.

*hates love triangles with sirens intervening perf relationships*

I read the book Wake (the first book in the Watersong series) a few months ago and really loved it. It was packed with twists and turns, things being discovered, and lots of action.

The second book didn't have as much action but I think it's a very good transition book to book #3. I've been finding that to be the case with YA Trilogies lately. Book one is usually action packed, book two a lot of transition happens and book three is back to action. Can't wait to read what happens!

Compared to the first book, this book was a bore. Not much happened aside from characters sitting around wondering how to break the siren's curse. The sirens themselves seemed much more one-dimensional than they did in Wake, leaving for boring villians in a boring story. The author also did too much of telling, not showing, what was going on, something I didn't notice happening in the first book. Hopefully book three, Tidal, can save the letdowns from Lullaby before I'm forced to give up the series altogether.

I love everything Amanda Hocking writes and this was no exception. I was very leary about this series because it is about Sirens and everything I know about Sirens is not good, but her books make you want to read till the end. I can't wait till the rest of the series comes out!
