Since Gemma ran off with the sirens, Harper and Alex have teamed up to bring Gemma home no matter what it takes. They do some research on sirens but find no way to kill them or free Gemma. It seems almost impossible but Daniel also agrees to help. Alex puts up missing person ads all over the web and Daniel checks the newspapers.

Gemma is fighting against her siren nature as hard as she can but it is making her sick. She hates the sirens but suffers through to keep Harper and Alex safe. I'm not su More...

First I'd just take a moment and say that this cover could be a work of art hanging on my wall.

Lullaby sucks you under and never let's go...



I really enjoyed the horror aspects of this book. For a romantic and mythical story, there is a surprising amount of blood and gore. The progression of Lullaby is just as it was with Wake. Alex, Harper and Daniel struggle to make sense of the myths and legends they discover while they all feel the pressure of what danger lurks for Gemma, and them. The plot More...

3.5/5

Review also on my blog

If you read my Wake review you’d know that I just thought it was okay, but fortunately I ended up liking Lullaby more! It didn't completely blow my mind and make me fall head over heels in love with it or anything, but I found myself growing onto the characters more, and there was more suspense and things actually happening! Now, that wasn't exactly true for the first half of the story since at the time, I was convinced this was just gonna be some filler book, but it e More...

Amaaazing Book i don't know why but i never been into sirens stuff but in this book it just sounds real or i can imagine it ... this book really have many cute parts where you'll bee likee owww aaahh cuteee :') you can feel the character feeling there described perfectly ... not too detailed but over all its just a simple book ... i love the fact that Love is way stronger that the sirens stuff which basically shows that nothing can stop the way you feel towards that special person ... but seriou More...

I have one sister, and growing up, we fought frequently. As much fighting as we did, we never went so far as to actually try to murder one another like the sirens in Lullaby did. If I had to spend a couple of thousands of years in close proximity with a couple of sisters, completely with insanity and jealousy and rivalry, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't make it either.

I have a theory as to why there aren't any more mermaids and sirens in the world these days. It's not because they're mythical creatur More...

This was a fluid continuation of the first book and entailed the two third person perspectives of what happens to Harper and Gemma in the time they are apart.

I think I liked this a little less than the first, partially because the ending was more abrupt and unsatisfactory. There isn't enough plot meat to keep the snowball racing down the hill and that has the book falling a little short. I would have liked more subplots weaved into the main objective of saving Gemma and finding a way to stop th More...

I just read Wake a couple days ago, & was DYING to know what happened. I was lucky enough to find a signed hardcover edition of Lullaby last night, so of course I bought it, started it, & finished it today.

I LOVE these books. I love the modern YA mythology retellings; books like Meg Cabot's ABANDON and Tera Lynn Childs' SWEET VENOM and OH MY GODS books are high on my list of favorites, and I can now say that Amanda Hocking's WATERSONG books- delving into the myths of the Sirens in a comp More...

I have to say that this book is better than the first. There's much more going on and the story really takes a step forward in its overall progress. That being said, I do think that Wake and Lullaby could possibly been condensed into one book. Perhaps not, but some of the mundane activities that we watch the characters partake in really aren't needed. Then there was that whole scene with the Ouija Board-- was that filler, or was that groundwork for something to come? It was out of place to say t More...

After reading Wake, I basically devoured Lullaby right away. It bugs me to leave a story unfinished let alone a series, so I finished Lullaby in no time. But it took me awhile to gather my thoughts about this book. In some ways, I became more invested in the series. But at the same time, Lullaby didn't shatter my world.

Lullaby suffers from second book syndrome. The book was more of a filler than a plot progressor. It had a cliffhanger at the end and there weren't really any "twists" to make the More...

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review.
I really enjoyed the first book in the Watersong Trilogy, Wake, and while I liked Lullaby, it didn't pull me in like Wake did. I still like the series and will likely read book 3, but I have to admit that I am harder on middle books in trilogies because they often feel like filler material. While I wouldn't totally characterize Lullaby this way, I did feel like there was too much "downtime" in the book and parts felt sluggish to me.
We More...

Lullaby is Amanda Hocking’s sequel to Wake and as a sequel, let me just say, that it does not disappoint. At the beginning of the story we are brought into scene with Harper and Alex who are still trying to make sense of what they have just witness, for the sake of spoilers, I will just say that this is the last thing to take place at the end of Wake. Harper and Alex are struggling to make sense of what has taken Gemma and if they will ever see her again. Right from page one Hocking drops reade More...

**3.5**

Okay, so after reading Wake, I was looking forward to reading Lullaby. I enjoyed it, although not as much as I would have thought. The characters were great and you could see the grow. I love Daniel, I think he is my favorite character out of all of them. I really hope the next book has more of Daniel and his story. I'm very curious as to why he isnt affected by the Sirens song while Alex and Harper are. It was interesting watching Gemma fight instict with morality and the choices that sh More...

I had read the ARC of Wake, the first book in the Watersong Series and although I didn’t really love it that much, I still want to know what happens next to Gemma and Harper, and LULLABY provided a very nice second book.

The story is more on transition, there are not many action scenes, but we discover some mystery and are left with more. We’re given knowledge about the mythology in this book, the siren ways and the curse. The writing is quick though; the conversations and scenes are lively and d More...

Lullaby: Amanda Hocking

The bond between sisters is often so great that some can complete the sentences of the other even before the words come out. But, what happens when one sister is captured and her family threatened if she does not go along with her captors? How far will Harper go to find Gemma and return her to her family? How many risks will be taken and how many lives will be in danger? Can you hear the song of the sirens if you do they might wind up dead? But, before all is said and done More...

With its small town, seaside setting and its myth-laced but down to earth story of two equally interesting and appealing sisters now in full motion, I enjoyed this second book in the Watersong series even more than the first. Lullaby picks up right where Wake left off. Gemma didn’t ask to become a siren, but when she’s forced into it by three others who share that fate she flees with them. She’s determined to protect her family and friends from the harm the sirens cause, so she’s following their More...

I have always enjoyed Amanda Hocking's writing since Switched, it is no surprise that I enjoyed Wake very much as well and was excited for Lullaby.

Gemma has made the decision to go with Penn, Lexi and Thea. That is the only way she can protect the ones she love. But being a siren comes at a cost. She begins to feel different and there is a bone deep hunger in her that she cannot deny any longer.

Harper will not give up in the search for her sister and neither will Alex. It is really complicated b More...

A lot of people are saying this book is better than the first in the Water Song Series, Wake, however I disagree. I still liked this one, but definitely enjoyed Wake more than Lullaby. There were just to many 'face-palm' moments while reading this.

I'll give you a couple of examples (spoilers!):
-When Gemma runs away from the sirens with Harper, Alex and Daniel, why the hell did they go home? I know they wanted to figure out a way to break the curse, but you could do that while running. It would'v More...

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!

Read this baby in a day and it was OK.

I enjoyed Watersong #1 ("Wake")-it's a new series about a girl who is turned into a Siren and I'm a sucker for modern-takes on mythology. I will admit, I also read "Siren" by Tricia Rayburn and found the same subject tackled but executed much better.

Anyway, "Lullaby" explores the idea of Sirens in more depth and we get more on Harper, Gemma's sister, who is on a quest to save her little sister from the beautiful and sinister sirens. Great plot all around.

How More...

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Wake, and luckily I had the second book all ready and waiting to be read.

Lullaby begins right where Wake left off, with Gemma gone, having run away with the crazy sirens while sister Harper is left to pick up the pieces. It isn’t only Harper though because Gemma’s boyfriend Alex is worried sick and has no idea what to do. Together, along with Daniel (Harper’s love interest) they have to figure out what the hell is going on and what can be done abo More...

Diving in and I’m on a search for mermaids. If you have not read the first book, I suggest you do. This story begins right where the last book left off. Now, in the first book, the reader gets most of the story from Gemma’s point of view. In this book, the reader gets most of the story from Harper’s point of view, and then switching to Gemma’s. I didn’t mind the point of view switches being that they did flow well. As the reader, you never felt lost in what was happening in the story. I like tha More...

This was between a 2.5 and 3 star read for me. I can't really explain it- while there's nothing that stands out for me in these books, they are such easy reads! Once again, I found myself finishing this in a matter of days, without even noticing.

This book takes off right from the end of the first one, with Gemma having left home and Harper, her practical older sister, attempting to find her. The plot wasn't anything overly exciting- Harper and Daniel (who are finally starting a relationship, but More...

This second book was like the first one that it took too long to get to the story. I got bored almost the entire first half. I kept waiting for Daniel to make a scene but Harper decided to avoid him because she thought she didn't have time to date him. But the thing is she liked him! Thank goodness Daniel never gave up. He came to meet her while she avoiding his call and wouldn't give up even when she told him she didn't want to date him even she 'liked' him. That was the key word that made him More...

Lullaby, the 2nd Watersong YA novel by Amanda Hocking, picks up shortly after Wake had left off. 16 year old Gemma Fisher has inherited the curse by Penn, Lexi, & Thea, three young women who can swim in the sea as a mermaid, change into a giant carnivorous bird, and can control people with the power of their voices in song. She has no choice but to run away with them, as they threatened her family. Devastated to have to leave everyone behind, she is determined not to give in to the unspeakab More...

After being cursed by Penn, Lexi, and Thea, Gemma runs off with the three girls. As if Gemma really has a choice. If she didn’t leave then her sister, Harper and her boyfriend Alex would be harmed.

Harper will not give up her sister that easy. She, Alex and Daniel are not afraid. They will fight to the bitter end. Harper better hurry as time is time is running out.

I have not had the pleasure of reading Wake the prior book to Lullaby. However, I was able to quickly piece together what happened i More...

Man this has got to be a record I finished the first book and this in 24 hours. Presenting Watersong #2 Lullaby by Amanda Hocking.

Here is the summary of the book:

Harper only wanted a safe, normal life. But when her younger sister Gemma runs off with a dangerous clique of beautiful girls, Penn, Thea, and Lexi, everything changes. Vowing to get her sister back no matter what the cost, Harper must face dangers unlike any she's ever experienced. Fortunately, she has Daniel by her side, a gorgeous g More...

We have a case of Second Book Syndrome yet again. Filler, filler, filler. But it's not you say? I'll give you that she is now shacked up with the sirens in a psychological brainwash of a mansion with a guy, but that's about it. Gemma is trying to stay away from everyone, again. She's trying to be a siren, again. And she isn't doing anything other than having a pity party for herself, again. Her sister Harper is running from her feelings toward Daniel, again. Daniel is persistently pursuing her y More...

I officially prefer this to her Trylle series. While both are good, this one is about sirens...which, let's face it, is much more fun than trolls.

But even besides that, this book (and its predecessor) is just really, really good. It's fun and more than a little sexy in parts but at its core, it's about love. Not romantic love, but the love that Harper has for her sister Gemma, the kind of love that means that she'll do anything to find and save her sister from her fate of being a siren. And how More...

I was so excited to read Lullaby since I enjoyed Wake :) It turned out to be a great sequel! The relationships were great and the ending was amazing!

In Wake, I didn't like Harper too much. However, I ended up liking her a lot more and was able to relate to her much easier in Lullaby. I was so happy about that! Also, at the same time, Gemma is trying to fight what she is, a siren, as much as she can. I felt so bad for what she had to go through, but I admired her so much for doing it in order to More...

Um Harper und Alex zu retten hat sich Gemma den Sirenen angeschlossen und Capri verlassen. Gemma fällt es schwer sich an ihr neues Leben als Sirene zu gewöhnen und sie will auf keinen Fall ihre Menschlichkeit verlieren. Währenddessen sucht Harper fieberhaft nach Gemma. Ein brutaler Mord in einer anderen Stadt bringt sie dann schließlich auf die Spur der Sirenen.

Auch der zweite Band der Watersong Reihe ist sehr spannend. Wie auch schon im ersten Teil wechselt die Perspektive zwischen Gemma und i More...
