Title: Lullaby
I read book 1 , Wake and was looking forward to seeing how the story progressed. As with book series that have an ending, like this series, the middle books are never as good as the first or the last…I hope in this case the last is GREAT!
Back to Lullaby…I enjoyed the story continuing
and a look at how Gemma was going to handle her new thirst and hunger. How will she ever return to being truly human
if she succumbs to her hunger and kills another? Harper of course is searching for Gemma and
being helped by the two men in her life.
Her relationship with Daniel grows with a small amount of romance. You learn a bit more about the sirens and
their lives before the change and after since there are thousands of years old.
I just wonder how Gemma can ever come back to
being human with all the calls of the ocean and the siren blood she has
ingested. This is an interesting look at
mermaids….not like the Little Mermaid at all, a much darker vision of the
creatures that call men to their deaths..financially and physically. I look forward to Tidal coming in the mail
from Amazon now.

Synopsis:Don't miss the next chapter of Watersong, a bold new series that will enchant you, entrance you, and hold you captive under its spell.
Now that Gemma Fisher has inherited Penn,
Lexi, and Thea's curse - and all the strange new powers that come along with it
- she has no choice but to run away with them. Devastated that she has to leave
everyone she loves behind, she's still determined not to give in to the
unspeakable hungers that plague her. Unfortunately, they're growing stronger
every day, and she's not sure how much longer she can resist.
Harper won't give up on finding her sister
Gemma, vowing to get her back no matter what the cost. The search draws her
closer to too-gorgeous-for-his-own-good Daniel, and tests her fiercely guarded
independence like never before. She's always been the strong one who everyone
else depends on.... Can she let herself depend on Daniel?
As Gemma and Harper plunge deeper into a
magical world they barely understand, it becomes painfully clear that Gemma's
old life may be lost forever. But can she still hold on to her humanity?
I live in
Minnesota, and I write young adult paranormal romance and urban fantasy mostly.
The My Blood Approves series is about vampires in Minneapolis, and its
available now. I also wrote the Trylle Trilogy, which is a paranormal romance
without vampires, shifters, mermaids, fae, angels, dragons, ghosts, or ninjas.
My latest book is Hollowland - a zombie urban
fantasy set in the dystopian near future. It's a bit more violent and gritter
than my other books, but there is still romance. Mostly though, Remy kicks a
lot of butt.
I also enjoy Red Bull, Jim Henson, Batman,
Jane Austen, Star Wars legos, and I absolutely hate long walks on the beach out
of my intense fear/hatred of wet sand
My favorite authors are Kurt Vonnegut, Chuck
Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, Alan Moore, and J. D. Salinger, but I don't write
anything like them. I have an obsession with River Phoenix, and I've seen
Silence of the Lambs more than any other movie, even The Dark Knight. If I were
trapped on a deserted island, the one thing I'd take with me would be a boat
capable for taking me home.
I'm also the guitarist in a band called the
Fraggin Aardvarks, and even though its even twice as cool as it sounds, we
haven't had a practice in like two years, so I'm not sure that technically we
are still a band. But we never broke up, and it's an awesome thing to tell
people, so I'm sticking with it. (We even had a synethesizer!)
