Review: Hidden

Hidden by Rebecca Zanetti

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


What is this new series from talented Ms. Zanetti? Romantic suspense with a bad boy turned good? I picked this book up because I love Ms. Zanetti and will read everything she writes. This new series is not to be missed. Where to start?

Pippa is trying to build a new life, far away from the horrors of her childhood. When a new neighbor moves in, she's scared yet intrigued. Malcolm West finds the perfect place for his recovery. He has left the law enforcement world to get away from a last assignment gone wrong. What he doesn't know, is that this is all a set up.

When it comes to complex situations with conspiracy type groups, Ms. Zanetti excels at creating them. In this world, very little is what it seems. There are several dark secrets each person keeps which causes mishaps when they are finally revealed. Malcolm is one who doesn't want his past to come up. He does everything he can to avoid it. Yet he is pulled back into law enforcement, unwillingly. Plus he now that he's invested in Pippa's survival, he can't back away. It is amusing to see the reluctance in both Pippa and Malcolm. Both want a simple and boring life. The way the two grudgingly deal with the drama helps balance the seriousness of the situation. It is nice to see a realist portrayal of people who are tired. People who are exhausted and just wish for a little bit of peace and quiet.

This romantic suspense promises to be an exciting new series. Recommended to suspense readers who enjoy a bit of romance with their mystery.
