The long awaited second book in the Hide and Seek mystery series is here!
As a child, Anissa Tate survived the unimaginable. Kidnapped and tortured, she was hidden away from the rest of the world for nearly two decades. Two years after being rescued from the cellar of a madman, Nissa is struggling to move on with her life. Still feeling like a stranger to her own family, Nissa finds herself enveloped in a darkness that threatens to consume her. Soon, she begins to paint as a way of bringing that darkness to light. Her nightmares come alive on canvas and a devastating secret is revealed. A secret that threatens to destroy her slowly, painting by painting.
Detective Ryan Wilshire wasn't there the night Nissa Tate was carried out of David Melvin's dark cellar. A childhood friend of her brother's, Ryan was on the outskirts of the investigation that finally brought her home to her family, after twenty long years. When his feelings for Nissa become too intense, he walks away from her, knowing she most likely will never be able to return those feelings. But then her family seeks his help. Since Ryan’s departure from her life, Nissa has a taken a turn for the worse again. Nightmares plague her. She's stopped speaking. She is slowly unraveling before their eyes. In spite of his forbidden feelings, Ryan knows he can't turn his back on the only woman he's ever really loved.

Some good parts, some not so good. Some of the plot points didn't work for me, but if you just buy into the story line, you'll probably like it better.
I didn't really like Ryan which was part of my issue with the story.
And the story poked one of my social issue buttons. If rich people didn't pay for illegal adoptions then at least this element of stealing children would be eliminated. But amazingly it seems like authors just give them a pass as this book does.

Unbroken is the second book in the Hide and Seek Mystery series written by author Jennifer Hayden. Both stories are intense. I'm looking forward to reading the third book.

Great book. This series has really been great. I highly recommend It. This is my kind of suspense book I like to read. Can't wait to read the last book in the series.
