Hiding Cracked Glass by James J. Cudney

5.0

I was sent a final copy of this book from James via Digital Reads Blog Tours but because I have been in a slump for over a month I wasn’t able to read the final version but I did beta read this book for the author and he told me there weren’t any major changes but I just wanted to make that known.

As I have mentioned before Jay has become one of my favorite authors and I have loved everything he has written and that’s no different with this book. He always draws me in and keeps me guessing until the very end. He’s also becoming really good a breaking my heart but I’m not so sure I am happy about that.

You would think that after the events in the previous book that this family would have learned their lesson but apparently that’s not the case because once again everyone is keeping secrets.

This book is told in multiple POV’s just like the previous book. We get real time story as well as flashbacks that explain what has happened to lead to where each of the characters are. I will say that even though everybody is hiding something I loved how when the letter was read out loud they all came together as a family. I also love how none of the characters are perfect. They each have their own flaws but you can definitely see growth in each of them from where they started from in book 1 especially where Olivia in concerned.

I highly recommend this series especially if you love family drama. This book could be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in the order they were written otherwise you will get spoiled for what happened in the first book.
