The villains definitely sound interesting though! Might have to pick up this series, but I've got to read Trylle first (I've had the first book on my Kindle for aaaaages now). Thanks for the fab review! :)Liz.

It's <i>refreshing</i> to see! But still disappointing that BOTH romance interests fall flat and insta-lovey. I'm already fascinated by the three villains... the ones you know are wrong, yet you're still compelled by, are the best kind!<br /><br />Fab review, Erin! :DBrodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7903769470113429795.post-7740084354404350572013-01-19T21:09:59.009+10:002013-01-19T21:09:59.009+10:00I LOVE books that focus on FRIENDSHIP as opposed t...I LOVE books that focus on FRIENDSHIP as opposed to focusing solely on ROMANCE. I've never been keen on reading any of Hocking's books...most have received mixed reviews and I just don't feel like reading 'average' books right now. BUT I would definitely give this a try for the friendship/relationship shared between Gemma and Harper :) Great review Erin!

I've actually read the sequel soon after reading this book, which I'm happy to say is much better than Wake.

The sister relationship was definitely really fun to read about, I have to agree with you on that! While I'm not as bothered by the romance as you were, I definitely thought that Gemma's romance was much blander than Harper's. I can't wait to read and see what you think of Lullaby, Erin.

I've been seeing Wake around everywhere but the rating have me hesitant :|<br /><br />I think I might not bother with this based on what you said because I really really hate insta-love. And Gemma sounds like a selfish biatch sorry lol.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy the 2nd book :)Jazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02234168594031112363noreply@blogger.com
