Glimmers of You by Catherine Cowles
4.0
Another great book following the Hartley family, this time Grae and Caden. I loved their banter in the previous book and it was even better in this one. Love the fake dating trope and a little bit of enemies to lovers even though they were great friends as kids.
While in the previous books I felt like Holt and Nash’s reasonings for not giving in to love were shallow or quickly resolved, Caden’s was deep and you really saw him struggle with it. Grae is a force and I loved how strong she was. Having four older brothers made her tough and I’m glad she started to speak her mind more freely.
The only issue I had in this book was that if you read the others, the action/mystery/reveal is starting to be a bit formulaic. You think the problem is solved at 80% but wait, it wasn’t them and you are still in danger!! And the bad guy is never the one you thought it was or the one that was being set up. I didn’t get it 100% correct this time, but I did know which group the bad guy belonged to. I still really liked the book, but I wish each book ending was a little different.
