The Hidden (Hollow Trilogy)
Vincent, who is supposed to help spirits find and bond with their soul mates, is stalking Abbey (who is still alive). Rather than facilitate Abbey’s death so she can join her soul mate, Caspian, Vincent wants to keep the lovers apart forever. Readers will need to be familiar with the first two books (The Hollow, 2009, and The Haunted, 2010) before plunging into this mix of romance and horror, where a main character’s imminent death is treated comparatively lightly. Major plot points are shortchanged, making the book unfocused, and the ending is too much information, too quickly conveyed. Save this for fans of the trilogy.
