Want to be a Mermaid? |
Wake by Amanda Hocking is fun fantasy read that I enjoyed. This teen romance is the first book in the Watersong series. Gemma and her sister, Harper, live in a tourist town near the ocean. Gemma loves swimming so much that she not only is practicing every day for the Olympics but also goes on midnight swims in the bay which drives her older protective sister nuts. Gemma starts falling in love with the geeky boy next door but three creepy girls who come through town choose Gemma to become like them because of her beauty, courage and love of the water.
This would be a good book to choose for a beach read—light, humorous but with adventure and some suspense. I think swimmers would especially find it interesting. I look forward to the next book in this series called Lullaby coming out winter of 2013.
