Head Above Water is the second book in the Gemini series following Camille and her unique Gemini powers. The Earthen Conclave is convinced that her case is closed, but she knows that that's not really the truth. She teams up with Graeson under the guise of a fake relationship and gets her family involved with bringing this mysterious killer (who knows way too much of her past traumas) down.
I like this story, but the progression of events in this one was a little more confusing. We haven't gotten any resolution towards the identity of the actual killer, not even a hint really. And the extent of their powers are confusing and I think poorly defined. Plus, I stand by the weird suddenness of the relationship. We're told over and over that Camille is guarded but then she just kind of jumps into the whole thing after a minimal level of real interactions.
I still liked it and thought it could set things up for a much better third book, but it was a lot of filler too. This series has like six books but I'm pretty sure that the third one ends Camille and Graeson's story directly. So we'll see how well everything is tied up.
