Reviews
'I absolutely loved this book. I was completely hooked, captivated from beginning
to end! I love the way that both of the stories develop and draw you into the

and the absolute "edge of the seat" suspense. Brilliant! I could confidently say
that once you start reading Hidden you will not want to put it down!' <br /><em>Rachael Cox, Author</em>
