Review: Interesting Novella, but Way Too Short

I thought this was a great prequel to the Watersong series. This novella fills us in on the back-story of Daniel (that hunkalicious man haha), and the night of the boating accident. It also introduces us to Lydia Panning, who works at the library with Marcy, if I remember correctly. Amanda Hocking sucks the reader right back into the Watersong world, and leaves you gasping for air. We are finally told what happened to Aggie, the girl that Gemma is supposed to "replace" in Wake. I thought it was sad that Penn was the person who killed her, but it was also a bittersweet ending. This was a great setup for not only Wake, but also the others in this series. I can see how certain aspects might make a reappearance.Beware, this is extremely short and I was expecting it to be slightly longer. I'm addicted to Amanda Hocking's writing, but there were a lot more errors than there typically are in her books. This didn't take away from the story, but I was surprised that it wasn't better edited. However, more and more books these days have the same problem, so I guess I'm used to it.I highly recommend this to any fan of Amanda Hocking, and am super excited to read Lullaby.
