About the book
Wake is the first book in a new, never-before-published series by million-copy bestselling author Amanda Hocking. Fall under the spell of the new Watersong series and lose yourself in the magic..
Gemma Fisher lives an ordinary life in the quiet seaside town of Capri, where she shares a close bond with her sister Harper and a budding attraction with her gorgeous neighbor Alex. But everything changes when three stunningly beautiful girls arrive in Capri and seem to cast a spell the whole town.
After a chance encounter with them, Gemma wakes up alone on the beach with no memory of what happened.and a sneaking suspicion that they somehow bespelled her.
Now Gemma has a host of new powers she can't control or understand. She's growing more beautiful every day, and she has a strange effect on men that makes them unable to resist her - especially when she sings. But she's also overwhelmed by strange cravings that feel all wrong, and she begins to suspect the girls have a dark side that goes beyond anything she ever knew existed.
The girls, she discovers, are sirens - and now she's about to enter a strange new world brimming with dark beauty.and unimaginable secrets.
