I have to start this review by commenting about this cover...it is GORGEOUS!!!! This is by far my favorite in the series (and not just because it has our resident hottie, Daniel). It's dark and mysterious, which fits the story perfectly. Now that that's out of the way, onto the story. Amanda Hocking has delivered yet another amazing story in the Watersong series. The plot was chock full of action, adventure, excitement, and mystery. So why only 4 stars (really it would be 4.5 if I could)? It was too short, and in some ways the story didn't deliver for me. 
 Amanda Hocking's writing is always great in my opinion. She knows how to weave a story, and draw you in just enough to leave you breathless. Then the next thing you know, it's the end of the book and you are clamoring for the next in the series. So you could say my expectations were pretty high for this novel. However, I didn't feel like the story progressed that much in this story. In some ways I felt that it read more like a novella than an actual novel. Nevertheless, Ms. Hocking's writing was great, and the story still blew me away with the twists and turns. I'm interested to see where the story goes in Elegy. The ending was fantastic, full of action, and a surprising death that will send shivers down your spine. 
 While this is Gemma's story, I wanted a little more Harper's POV. In the previous books, there was basically an equal amount of both Harper and Gemma, but this seemed to be more from Gemma and the sirens perspective. Not that this is a huge problem because I loved being able to delve deeper into the back-story of the sirens, but I just wanted a little more Harper. We get to see more of Daniel, and he's slowly becoming more of a central character (YAY!!) Gemma's POV was interesting, and I love how her character has developed over the series so far. 
 Overall, this was a great read and I can't wait for the next book, but the story is quick, and it's over before you know it. If the ending of this book (which is quite a shock) is any indication, I think that everything will come to and exciting and thrilling conclusion that will leave all of us blown away. 
 4.5 stars :)
