It’s summertime! I’ve lived my whole life right near the water, so to me, summer means sun, beach days, and swimming. That always reminds me of a book series I discovered years ago and still enjoy revisiting once in a while: The Watersong series by Amanda Hocking.
Beginning with Wake and ending with Elegy, this four-book series chronicles the adventures of teenage swimmer Gemma Fischer. She’s pretty, a talented athlete, and poised to snag the boy next door as her boyfriend. However, when three mysterious sisters with strange powers arrive in town, Gemma’s life changes in ways she never could have predicted. At first, her new powers and popularity are wonderful, but sinister aspects quickly come to light, and Gemma must decide what she wants for her future.
The novels play with mythology, romance, and family in such a clever way. They are a thrilling read for any fantasy lover. Plus, the sunny beach days and passionate romances make them the perfect summer read.
If you’re a fan of mythology and the ocean, I highly recommend this series. Even if you’re not a typical fan, but you’re looking for a new book series to read this summer, check out Amanda Hocking’s Watersong series!
