Hidden Star is definitely the first in a trilogy. We're introduced briefly, but provocatively to the other heroines, both of which are Bailey's good friends. We're left guessing as to the identity of the bad guy. We're also left wanting more. I'm awed at her ability to define her characters.
Some writers put words on paper.
She makes the story come alive and the characters seemingly come off the pages. She's given me days, weeks, months of reading pleasure. Call me selfish, but I want more. My calendar is already marked for December and February. I'm following my own advice and am looking forward to books two and three.
