Young Adult Paranormal

Gemma is unhappy with what she was and vows to regain her old life back. After having been changed into an immortal siren by three siren sisters that had moved into her hometown of Capri, MD, Gemma did not like the bloodthirsty fate that awaited her. With the support of her older sister Harper, Gemma was trying to do everything to avoid the fate that awaited her.

She even had to break off with Alex, her beloved and handsome next door neighbour, so that he would not be a target of the sirens. If they knew she still harboured feelings for him, they would rip his heart out for breakfast -- literally!!!

Harper's lifelong dream is to study medicine and has worked hard for years to save the money to go to Sundhom University and to get the scholarships she desperately needs, but can she go and leave Gemma alone when she knows she is under attack? What about Daniel, her boyfriend? Would he still be able to resist the beckoning of a siren?

Meanwhile, Gemma is worried about what she can and can't tell Harper. What secrets can she share and what needs to be silenced? As Lexi tries to divert her sister Penn away from Daniel, Penn is determined to stick her claws into him even deeper as he is the only one that reminds her of Bastien, her immortal lover from centuries ago. Will she succeed?

TIDA is the third book in bestselling young adult writer Amanda Hockings five book series Watersong. With her imaginative style, Hocking has written an action filled romance thriller. The storyline is fast paced and filled with suspense as to how Gemma can avoid her fate as the sirens are now willing to cut their losses on her, kill Gemma and replace her with another. Emotions run at full force in TIDAL as many of the characters, both human and siren, are under death threats by others. What can they do to protect those they love?

While TIDAL can be easily read as a standalone book and has a very surprising conclusion; in some ways, it is really a bridge book to the final conclusion in Elegy which comes out in August 2013. Given that, fans new to the series will have time to check the earlier books, so they have a full handle on the story before reading Elegy. So now is the time to catch the action in TIDAL! Dive in!

It's her only hope of saving everything she holds dear: her family, her life, and her relationship with Alex--the only guy she's ever loved.
