I was given Hidden Within for an honest review.
This was my first experience with Christine Copper and her writing. I liked this book, even though it is not the genre I generally read. I enjoyed the twists in the story, especially at the end. The writing was well paced and the story line was clear and thought out well. My only issue with a psychological thriller, such as this, was I needed more background to really get into the minds of the characters. I would have liked a single point of view or more clear direction in the point of view of the story. It flipped around without much warning during the beginning of the book. That being said, I was on the emotional edge of my seat most of the time and was really heartbroken for Mara during the whole tale. Such tragedy for one so young always breaks me. I felt like I was reading a cross between a modern day Cinderella and an episode of Criminal Minds. I will definitely read more from Christine Copper in the future.
