No Stone Unturned
After a reckless year of partying as her pop star alter ego, Queen Bee, Gemma Hunter is looking to make a triumphant return to the music world, starting with a move to a brand new home in Los Angeles. However, since announcing her official relationship with teen heartthrob Tyler Chase, a mysterious photo of a disguise-less Queen Bee has been leaked to the public and Gemma fears for her safety now that she may be identified.
And as it turns out - she's right to. Someone is following Queen Bee. Not only that, someone is impersonating her, causing mayhem and distrust among Queen Bee's social circle. Thankfully, Gemma has Tyler to protect her from danger. But as more details of her true identity leak to the public, Gemma realizes that suspicion needs to start with her closest friends.

Love this series and very, very happy to see the return of Damian (aka my favourite guy for Gemma). Her Royal Secrecy is funny in the first two books but now she's gone absolutely mental, which is great to read but oh-so creepy.
Can't wait for the forth book

Loved it
I loved seeing the characters in this series grow up and become mature young adults. And deal with some every day life things and some things only stars would have to deal with. It by far is one of my favs so far....

This series is a total guilty pleasure for me...I just love it! I am so glad Damian is back. I just wish Gemma and Damian got back together...maybe in book#4!!!?

3.5 stars - More in tune with the cute YA-ness of the first book and less teenage stupidity from the second book.

Wow
Queen bee/ Gemma is living on her own now, trying to navigate being a superstar and her own private self. A fascinating journey.

Yay!!!!!!!!! I am so excited right now!! This was my favorite book in the series so far!! I love Tyler so so much. Okay, I never can seem to write anything in my reviews for my favorite books. It always turns out to be like five sentences of me just saying "Yay! I loved the book! It was amazing!" And this book is no different. I just can't help myself from writing anything in my review other than saying this book was awesome!! But it was also so stressful at times just like the previous books. There is just always so much drama going on that I totally start having meltdowns like Gemma when everything is falling apart. But I love it!! Gemma always makes it through the drama and it makes me so happy I just have to giggle and jump up and down! (Wow I have exclamation marks like everywhere. I apologize for my excitement. Not really. I am just so pumped right now!!!!) I was so worried Gemma was going to do something stupid the entire time I was reading the book but she never did!! It was amazing!! She controlled her fury and didn't go all psycho at all the people bullying her and she made it through the book and was still with my favorite guy!!!! But seriously, why all the hatin' on my girl Gemma? I feel so bad for her when nasty lies are said about her. I just wanna defend her but the best I can do is just sit and yell at all the people in my book when they are mean to her. And may I just say that I love how Lee always has articles and bloggers and whatnot throughout all of these books. I find them so hilarious, not the mean ones obviously (although they are written really well!). I'm talking about the articles that are on Queen Bee's side. It's like they are reading my mind when they say things to support Bee and her peeps and make all her haters back off. I absolutely love it! And I love Tyler Chase!!!!!!!!!!! He really is amazing isn't he? He and Gemma better stay together forever or I am just going to cry and have a tantrum because Tyler is just the best guy ever and he and Gemma are the cutest!!!! TYLER!!!!

I really enjoyed No Stone Unturned (Hidden Gem #3). While reading this novel, I remembered why I fell in love with this series in the first place. Gemma Hunter didn't drive me crazy in this novel. In fact, I really admired Gemma in this novel. In my opinion, she matured a lot since Diamond in the Rough (Hidden Gem #2). She still went out and had fun with friends, but she didn't behave as if she was on the road to rehab. Overall, No Stone Unturned was a great story, and the conclusion was absolutely perfect! I can't wait to get my hands on Hidden Gem #4 now!
What I loved about No Stone Unturned:
* There wasn't a love triangle in this novel. (I am getting so sick of those!)
* Damian is back, and he's sweeter, sexier, and richer than before ;)
* Gemma and Tyler are together. (Personally, I find Tyler's character a little bit lacking. He doesn't really have a great personality. He's kinda of blah. But, he treats Gemma like a princess and that's what counts.)
* There is a Queen Bee impersonator who stirs up some drama! She is determined to make Queen Bee look really bad!!
* Tara C. of Her Royal Secrecy claims to know who Queen Bee really is!!
* The blog posts and articles scattered throughout the series are hilarious! (They give this series the perfect touch.)
* It had a FABULOUS ending!
I gave No Stone Unturned by India Lee 4 STARS (3.5 STARS). I thought No Stone Unturned (Hidden Gem #3) was better than Diamond in the Rough (Hidden Gem #2), but not quite as good as Hidden Gem (Hidden Gem #1). I absolutely loved the way No Stone Unturned ended, and I can't wait to read Hidden Gem #4!
-XOXO

Really do like the series and the characters. Gemma's insecurities can be a bit hard to take a times, but I still like her and want the stalker to just stop harassing her. I also have to say that the whole New Year's Eve scene drove me nuts. Why didn't she go after Elizabeth and catch her? But yes, it would have mean the book ended sooner, and I wouldn't have liked that.
I'm a little hesitant to pick up the next book only because I've read that Tyler becomes a bit of a jerk. So don't want to see that, because I really do like him and his relationship with Gemma. I'm team Tyler all the way. Damian is great and all, but the chemistry there just doesn't work as much to my mind. Although I would love for Nicki to get the boot.

I think this is my favourite one so far. I loved the journey Gemma went on. She was much more likeable in this one as she wasn't going from guy to guy. I liked the little mention of Lucas and Damian was perfect. The best thing about Damian and Gemma's relationship is how comfortable they are around each other. One of the best parts of the book is when Gemma needs someone to remind her of her old life so she turns to Damian. I love Tyler, I really do but I don't think he'll ever understand and know Gemma as well as Damian does and I can see this causing problems in the future. I still love Zoe and I loved the drama with someone pretending to be Queen Bee. I can't my my wait to read the next one.

I liked this book more than the first two but I still didn't think it was awesome. Take into account that I am also not a teenage girl. I felt like this book had closure. I don't want to spoil anything for someone who may read the book. Because of this I doubt I will read the next book in the series. I personally feel like this would be a good time to end the series but because I haven't read the next book it could be just as good if not better. I don't want to encourage someone not to read the next book. There were a few summaries of other book by Lee that I will definitely look into.

Met No Stone Unturned zijn we eindelijk terug bij de hoge standaard die werd gezet met het eerste deel. De emoties worden rauw beschreven, waardoor ze nog meer impact hebben. Waardoor jij diegene wordt die gestalked wordt en bovendien een imitator heeft rondlopen. Daarnaast bevat het een goed uitgewerkt mysterie die je tot op het laatste moment in het ongewisse laat. Als de boyfriend nu ook eens wat beter was uitgewerkt zou dit echt one heck of een boek zijn!

Welcome back Damian!! I was so happy to see Damian's character re-enter this series. I thought the entrance was beautifully done with the photo shoot, you could tell that the chemistry is still there. Yippie!! I do like Tyler, but I've always thought that Damian was a better match. I don't like his girlfriend, and even at the end of the book I'm not sure that I like her still. Hopefully we'll continue to hear about Damian still being a rock in Gemma's corner in the next book.

Gemma is growing up. While books 1 & 2 had her struggling between her two worlds, the focus of this one is mainly about Queen Bee and her world/friends. Living the life of a pop star isn't always what it's cracked up to be and even though she has landed pop star Tyler Chase & has amazing friends in Zoe & Harper, 'someone' is pretending to be Queen Bee & wrecking havoc on her life. Good mystery in this book & it kept me engaged enough to want to go for book #4.

Another fantastic book in this series. I love, love, love Tyler. Love him. And I was so glad to read more of Damian. His reintroduction to the story was beautifully done. He is just such a sweetie! I loved the plot in this book too, about the stalker/imposter, and I had a lot of theories, some of which proved accurate. It was really suspenseful at times! I also continued to love the blogs, especially the ones written from supporters of Bees, they were soooo funny! Such a great read.

OH MY!!! Why did I only learn of this series now!?! It's so interesting and I can't wait for the next one!
This book is such a guilty pleasure. It's like reading books by Ally Carter, Gossip Girl, Secrets of My Hollywood Life, and Meg Cabot.
It's fast paced and its compact. A lot of things are happening and everything is connected. Oh man! I'm still thrilled to read this series.

Story wise, it's better than the pevious two books. It went a little bit into thriller mode.
However, where is Lucas??? I mean...one package and one postcard!! That's the only thing about Lucas mentioned. There is internet in Thailand.....

By far the most intense book of the series. It's like we're taking a glimpse in the world of Queen Bee and Tyler as adults, lovers and celebrities. I was bummed about the ending though. *SORRY FOR THE SPOILER*
