Radiance by Grace Draven
4.0

Removed a star just because I thought it was a touch boring. But to be fair, sometimes that’s more my mood than the book itself. This one managed to be engrossing without exaggeration or unnecessary drama or anguish. I’m not usually a fan of friends to lovers but at least with these two you can really see how much they mean to each other, and believe it. It was unencumbered by contrivance, and was refreshingly matter of fact. Not to mention the villain was seriously, awfully nasty. Not morally gray or sympathetic. Just awful, and that was refreshing too.
