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.

I recently reviewed this book and have decided to do Mama's Book Corner's very first giveaway!
Just fill out the Rafflecopter form below to be entered to win this awesome book!
Wow, tough question... The Stand by Stephen King is my all time favorite, but for a more recent read... Lost Boys by Orson Scott Card.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read either of those. I'll have to check them out. Sometimes Stephen King books creep me out though :/
ReplyDeleteAs of now? I'm reading Rick Riordan's The Red Pyramid first book of the Kane Chronicles, so that one :)
ReplyDeleteOhhhh, sounds interesting!
DeleteRight now I'm reading Enshadowed by Kelly Creagh and Ascend by Amanda Hocking... I love then both, but an all time favorite....*thinking*....Do I have to pick? Because there are so many good ones and I don't think this box will hold all of them!
ReplyDeleteSounds good! I'll have to check those books out!
DeleteMy all time favorite is The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but recently I've loved Tell the Wolves I'm Home and Beautiful Disaster.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those, I'll have to check them out!
DeleteI am so excited to check out this book!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book list is long!!
For 2012 though - my top favorite has been Taking Chances by Molly McAdams! I also loved Slammed & PoR by Colleen Hoover, Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire and the list goes on and on... LOL

DeleteMy Current Favourite book would have to be The Host by Stephanie Meyer... although it's kind of a tie between it and Cinder for Marissa Meyer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by :)
She sounds like a wonderful author! I'm going to have to pick up some of her books.
DeleteWow that's hard! Currently it would have to be Angel Fire by L.A Weatherly as I'm re-reading it right now for the fifth time.
ReplyDeleteWow fifth time?! It must be a great book! I'll check it out!
DeleteThat's really hard. My all time favorite book is The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald but a more recent obsession of mine has been The Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
ReplyDeleteTo be completely honest I have not read The Great Gatsby and I feel like I should have! I have 2 of the Vampire Academy books and I haven't read them yet. Maybe I will pull them off the shelf soon!
