Plot:
he magical world of Watersong is about to change forever. The answers Gemma and her friends have been searching for are finally revealed - but evil is closing in and time is running out....
Gemma and Harper Fisher are facing the fight of their lives. Gemma has been cursed with extraordinary powers that have a terrifying dark side, but she's finally found what she needs - a way to break the curse and become human again. However, finding the means to do it will be her greatest challenge yet. And now Penn, Lexi, and Thea - the gorgeous but deadly creatures who cursed her - are determined to kill her before she has a chance. Making matters worse, Penn has her sights set on Daniel - the guy Harper loves - and Penn always gets what she wants.
As Gemma and Harper race to break the curse before it's too late, they're thrust deeper into a mythical world of immortal secrets. They must look into their enemies' past to find the answers they need, even if it means being drawn deeper into their savagely beautiful world. But one of the girls is not what she seems...and Gemma finds an unlikely ally as she struggles to save herself. Will it be enough to break an ancient curse that no one has ever escaped from alive?
My thoughts:
I really liked it. It is a little slow at times, but it is still an entertaining read.
Gemma finally discovers a way to win over the sirens, now all she has do to is find the object needed, which turns out to be easier said than done. She is also still struggling with her siren side and the hunger that is slowly growing inside her. She is also trying to get over Alex, which is proving to be extremely difficult. Especially since he is acting so very different after their break-up.
Harper is struggling with her need to protect Gemma and her desire to go to college. She is also still on the fence when it comes her feelings for Daniel. Daniel is just so lovable, and we also finally find out the reason to why he is immune to the siren song.
We get to know a lot more about the sirens and their background which was really interesting and explained some of their behaviour.
The tension between the sirens and Gemma does reach a breaking point in this book which leads to a surprising conclusion.
I have to be honest and say that I probably liked this book as much as I did because I was already so invested in the characters. I can easily see why people who say they dislike it do so. However, for me it was still a good read.
Do I recommend it?
Well, yes but it is the third in a series, so if anything I do recommend the first book. If you've already read the first two then sure, go ahead and read this one as well.
