Description from Goodreads:
Harper only wanted a safe, normal life. But when her younger sister Gemma runs off with a dangerous clique of beautiful girls, Penn, Thea, and Lexi, everything changes. Vowing to get her sister back no matter what the cost, Harper must face dangers unlike any she's ever experienced. Fortunately, she has Daniel by her side, a gorgeous guy who's devoted to helping her find her sister—and who's immune to the girls' dark powers.
While Harper searches for her sister, Gemma struggles to adjust to her new life. Gemma's powers are growing by the day, and the longer she lives with her new "sisters," the harder it is to resist entering their magical world. It's a realm both dark and beautiful, and where she's plagued by strange hungers and unspeakable needs. Just as she's drifting far away from her old life, Harper and Daniel find her...but no one can deny how much she's changed. All she wants is to return to her family and the mortal world, but how can she do that when she's become something else entirely—and will they still love her once they learn the truth?

Ummm...Where do I start with this book?
First of all, LOVE IT. I thought the first one was good, but oh my God, this one was ten times better. I had it read within two days, much to the annoyance of my teachers. Perfect pacing. Amazing chemistry between the characters. Beautiful writing style. There is not much to complain about with this book.
Again, I will comment on Harper, my favorite character in the whole book. She is so like me it's scary and I felt like pushing her against Daniel every freaking time. Seriously. That took WAY longer than it needed to, Harper. Forget Gemma. Go with Daniel. Really. Go. And I love her loyalty to her sister. I keep asking myself: Would I have the courage to go find my little sister after a bunch of murdering mythological creatures basically kidnapped her and turned her into one? Well...Probably not. Sorry Emmy.
Raise your hand if you agree that Penn needs to go. Also Lexi. Thea is fine. It's just those two that really piss me off. Gah. Just leave Gemma alone. Why do they have such an evil agenda? Ugh. I hope they die in the end. Really do.
But yeah, you should really read these books. These are my favorite books from Amanda Hocking and the whole siren concept is really good. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one.
