This book seemed to take forever to get anywhere and I was getting annoyed. It just seemed like a lot of sidetracking nonsense happened because of Graeson's pack's drama.

Cord Graeson invites her family and her to his pack land in Georgia, knowing his alpha hates fae and knowing his relationship with his alpha is shaky.

I'm not a fan of Graeson. I tried so hard to like him but he was willing to use Camille as bait for a serial killer and then started saying things like she was his. When he grabbed her arms and left red marks, I wrote him off as a loser.

I wanted to see him help Camille find Harlow but instead, he drew her into danger.

I am going to read the last book and hope Graeson stops being a whiney douche. ( )

Head Above Water by Hailey Edwards and narrated by Stephanie Einstein is a good paranormal adventure with romance and a mystery. Werewolves and far trying to learn to play nice together, some one killing paranormals and normals, a werewolf and a fae are upsetting the wolf pack by becoming an item. I would say there are good cat fights but more dog fights, lol!
The narration was good too! ( )

While significantly slower moving than the first book, possibly due to its being around 70 pages longer, it was still very good. The world building and the characters are unique, entertaining and endearing.

The author employs Gord’s favorite “cliffhanger” method by resolving the current book’s issues, while creating new ones at the very end to spur you on. Also, the overall arch continues throughout. But, the series is complete, so it shouldn’t be any hardship. These are fast, easy, enjoyable reads. ( )

Head Above Water starts off right at the ending point in book one, [b:Dead in the Water|27409891|Dead in the Water (Gemini, #1)|Hailey Edwards|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1446420255s/27409891.jpg|47457622]. The author hooked me from the begging to the end. I couldn’t put this one down and read way into the night.

The world and characters are phenomenal. Their is no shortage of action, mystery, and a relationship that is just blooming.

Cam is working on a case and the more she uncovers the more dangerous her life becomes. Besides all that the relationship between her and Cord is just growing, which they are dancing around, and Cam will have to make a choice. What every choice she makes she'll have to navigate Warg politics.

We get to see Camille really come out of her shell and let someone else into her life; besides her Aunt and Cousin. The growth and development was superb on her end. I loved Cord even though he’s domineering and harsh at times. He did also make mistakes where Cam is concerned, but even with all that they both learn more about the other and come to see deeper then others have about who they are inside and what they need in their lives. These two do some healing and open their hearts.

Head Above Water was a faced-paced action-packed adventure. I am looking froward to delving deeper into the mystery of Charybdis and the relationship that is blooming between Cam and Cord. I am on pins and needles waiting for the third installment, Hell or High Water.

Deals more with Cam's involvement with the pack, more interactions with her family and background plot-run with main arc. ( )
