Hidden: Godkiller Saga #1
Godkiller
In the ten years since the end of the Undead Wars, Molly Brooks, goddess of death and protector of the Earthly realm, has achieved what no one would have thought possible: world peace. The Earth thrives under her protection, and her family and friends are finally safe from the enemies who have targeted her.
But not all of Molly's battles are about her, and an ancient nemesis is ready to make his move on her world. With her mate and her closest allies at her side, Molly will face attacks from enemies both strange and well-known to her. This time around, the power of the gods just might not be enough.

My girl! I loved writing Molly again, and I can't wait to share this story with everyone. Coming on 7/18!

I was so happy to get a chance to visit these beloved characters again. I hadn't realized how much I missed Molly, Nain, Bren and E until I so easily fell back into they action packed, mythological ass kicking series. And this book doesn't disappoint! We get to see the children of the gods as they are grown now, and the mysteries behind who they are had me dying to keep reading. The tension between Molly and Nain had me on the edge of my seat in the most delicious way, I loved it! There were emotionally moments in this book, as usual, be prepared for the roller coaster that Colleen will take you on. You will laugh, cry, bite your nails, fan yourself, cry again, have your heart stop, want to throw your book/kindle across the room, as well as shout "Hoorah!" in this fast paced, intense story. I will never tire of Molly laying the preverbal smack down on the bad guys, but I love how she is getting wiser as time goes by, and the new struggles she is up against in this book showed who she is really becoming. I was absolutely in NO WAY ready for this book to end, and I am anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. Well done Mrs. Vanderlinden, you've made my little bibliophile heart happy once again. ;)

It is 10 years later and things have been calm since the last huge adventure. But of course peace never lasts and this time Molly is up against something bigger and badder than ever before. The moments between Molly and Nether actually had me in tears, anyone who has read the previous books will know the history and changing relationship between these 2. And if you haven't read the other books you're going to want to get on that asap!
Warning, this book does end on a pretty big cliffhanger but luckily the author has promised we won't have to wait too long for the next one.
Yet another fantastic book from Colleen Vanderlinden. I really missed reading about Molly and this one did not disappoint.

I discovered this author shortly after Lost Girl, the first book in the Hidden series, was published. This is the first book in the third series set in that very same world, and to be honest it still remains very much at the top of my favourites list after all this time. So to say that I was excited about this release is an understatement. And no it most certainly does not disappoint!!
Molly is still Molly and Nain is at her side, their children now in their teens, bringing an all new supernatural slant on the age old teenage hormones. Surrounded by their friends, Molly should be happy, but at her core she still feels a darkness and that sense of impending doom, an inability to relax into her world, in fact the atmosphere almost forms a character all on it's own. Sure enough, things start to become apparent that all is not as it seems, and when events start to tumble out of control they go downhill fast. Molly's world expands beyond her imagination, yet she still has concerns for her family at the very core of her being. As always with a book by Colleen Vanderlinden, my heart broke just a little, but also made me laugh. Nether, long one of my favourite characters, takes a more central role, much to my delight. We also meet some new and very interesting folk and I have so many questions over where this is all going. There is action aplenty, blood is shed and tears are wept, what more could I ask of one of my favourite authors? I can't recommend this series enough.

Back in action is my favorite heroine, Molly Brook, as Godkiller sees her face unimaginable enemies. At risk is everything Molly holds dear - her family, her friends, her universe.
I just loved this book, fans of the Hidden series will enjoy the kick-ass action that is true to these books but Molly has grown in depth as she is now a daughter, a mother, a wife and friend. Things she was not have when the series began. Plus there's Nain.
This isn't a stand-alone book, so don't even try - but it's a great investment of time to begin with Lost Girl, you won't regret it. My only caveat to the book is that does have a cliffhanger although the story felt complete. It left me waiting in anticipation for the next book in the Godkiller saga.

I adored the first series so when I saw that there were more books, I was stoked. Molly has been one of my favorite heroines and I couldn't wait to see where she and her family were after 10 years.
Although this new adventure was good, it didn't have the same spark as the other books. the first half of the book drug as we caught up with all of the characters and found out where they are now. The kids are all teens, most of the world drama has been sorted out and Molly has all her people close. She has not settled down and become a nice person. She and Nain still piss one another off and fight but they also love one another deeply.
The addition of other realms is interesting and I look forward to finding out where this part of the story takes this group.

Wow she's at it again! Colleen has pulled it all of the stops this time and Molly is back in top form.
I have missed this series so much and was so excited there was a new book coming out. I'm not going to spoil it for you! Read it!
If you haven't read the series yet and are looking for something to fill the gaping hole in your soul that your lady series left, buy lost girl, start at the beginning and thank me later! Binge away!
I promise you will not be disappointed.
Enjoyed this book so much and cannot wait to read the next one!

Love being back with Molly!
This is my second attempt to review this book, Amazon having rejected my first attempt for some bizarre reason. So forgive the simplicity of this please!
I have really loved being back with Molly and Nain of the original Hidden series. While Eunomia and Brennan of the Soul Hunter offshoot are great characters, I truly feel more of a connection to Molly and Nain.
This story is heart warming and heart breaking, new characters are both intriguing and chilling. There are plenty of twists.
And I cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

She's baaaaack!
Molly is back and better than ever! The groundwork has been laid, along with a few juicy surprises, which promises that this series is going to be just as epic as the original. The kids are older and they definitely get it from their Momma. And their Daddy, because, come on let's face it, it's Molly and Nain we are talking about.
I'm just going to obsess over this book until the next one is released and I hope you all join me.

It was so great to be back with Molly again. I did NOT expect the twists and turns and epic universe-building that is happening with this series. Molly is a real character who has evolved from a rage-filled misfit avenger into a fully realized powerful hard-working goddess who knows that she can stomp all challengers. Colleen Vanderlinden takes the story in a new and fresh direction with some unexpected players. I can't wait for the next book!

I am a big fan of Ms. Vanderlinden's Hidden series and this book did not disappoint. Packed with action and a little heartache, Molly finds a new enemy and a new ally. I am anxiously awaiting the second book in this saga.
The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because I felt there was a significant amount of repetition perhaps to make the book longer. At any rate still a wonderful addition to the series.

Good God's what's next?
I am so glad to be back in the Hidden world. I've missed Molly and Nain and E and Brennan. The kids are growing up and someone new us stalking our favorite immortals. No spoilers here but I love when Molly goes all "hulk smash"! I have so many theories on how this is going to turn out, I can't wait to see what's next!

She had me going a couple of times, thinking things were not going well for Mollis, however, some things went as planned , but now there's a new villain in town, and I can hardly wait for GODBREAKER!!!!

Fun read
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. The story picks up a few years after the end of Zealot and we're back to Molly's point of view. There are some new big baddies and Molly, along with her friends and family, is ready to kick some butt and save the world yet again. Can't wait until the next installment comes out.

Just keeps getting better!
I've devoured everything Colleen has written and the writing just keeps getting better. I love Godkiller, it has all the emotions, surprises, and action I could ask for in a story. I can't wait to read the next!

Molly back!
Very enjoyable opening for the God killer Saga. Molly is as enjoyable as ever as the powerful woman in control. Great to be interacting with other favorite characters from the series again as they come together once more to fight a new kind of threat to thier world.
