It didn't really keep my interest that much. I mean, I love Hocking and her work, but towards the end, and if it wasn't this specific book, then it was one of the others in this series, I got so bored of it, I couldn't finish. I mean, when you're a writer and you write A LOT of books and different series, you will have that one series that isn't as good as some of your other work. I should know, as I am also a book writer.

I've read Amanda Hocking's other stories and I can't say enough good and exciting things about them! When I originally checked this book out, I was thrilled to be reading another one of her stories. I was ready to dig right in. Little did I know the long, long, loooooong intro which didn't tell me anything about what the story was going to be about. Yes, I read the short summary but from reading the beginning (maybe the first 50 pages) I had no clue how on earth this could be related to what the summary said. Even after finishing the book, which was a struggle at some parts over others, I had a confused idea about who the story was actually about, what the point was, and how anyone would be interested in a scattered boring story? I had even checked out Lullaby which is the next book in the series because I thought I'd read this one too fast from being extremely good... What a let down. It depressed me more than anything! I will not be reading Lullaby and hope readers seek help after having to scarf down the emotional pitfall and morbidness to this book.

This book is absolutely amazing. It is the start of my favorite series, the water song series. I would recommend reading forgotten lyrics before you read wake because it really introduces you to the whole story. Once you start reading this book you won't want to stop!!!!! That's how amazing it is.

This is a great book don't listen to the bad reviews this book is amazing!!!! Trust me I am on elegy the last book. Amazing series!!!!!

I enjoyed the book once I got a hang on the writing style which at first started by jumping around a lot without significant warning who was talking. Overall it was a good story.

Man, this book was so awesome! I love the random romance! I love Amanda hockings books! She's radical! I would so recommend this book to a friend or family member!

After half way through the book I realized how cheesy and predictable it was. I pretty much know how it'll end. I think that this would be a great book for a fourth grader/8 or 9 year old.

I really enjoyed this book and the second one! The third one should come out soon!! I hope... If you are into supernatural books like this you might also like “hush, hush" by Becca Fitzpatrick. That one of the best series I have read!!!!!!

It's really one of the best books I've ever read! If you ever try to spend a week, trying to savor the book you know it's a good book! If only the next book didn't come out in December 2013!! :'(

This book was awesome 😊 finished it in a day i cant wait till lulluby sooooo anxious 😒
