There was no reason given other than that. She annoyed me a lot at first because she sounded like she was trying to be Gemma’s mom.I’m not exactly sure why the group of girls was disliked so much, other than the fact that they were seen as creepy. Her sister Harper, has a much better head on her shoulders than Gemma did and she was the protective older sister. At one point, yes I know she couldn’t control what she did exactly, but other points after that she should have made better choices.
There were points were she was ok, but for the most part, she wasn’t very bright and didn’t make the best of decisions. It didn’t really pick up until the last bit of the book.As for Gemma, I didn’t care for her a whole lot. The first almost 3/4 of the book were kind of slow and I didn’t feel like there was much to the book about the mermaid/siren aspect. Wake wasn’t exactly what I expected it to be. Read moreįind this review and more at On The Shelf!I really enjoyed Amanda Hocking’s Trylle Trilogy, so when I found out about Wake and that it was about mermaids, I was very excited. 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. But her new powers come with a terrifying price. Suddenly Gemma is stronger, faster, and more beautiful than ever. They invite her to join them, and the next morning she wakes up on the beach feeling groggy and sick, knowing something is different. She's taking a late night swim under the stars when she finds Penn, Lexi and Thea partying on the cove. Then one night, Gemma's ordinary life changes forever. 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.
Gemma seems to have it all-she's carefree, pretty, and falling in love with Alex, the boy next door.
She's the one they've chosen to be part of their group.
Strangers in town for the summer, Penn, Lexi and Thea have caught everyone's attention-but it's Gemma who's attracted theirs. They're the kind of girls you envy the kind of girls you want to hate. 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.
