Well hummmm... this book had me guessing the entire time. Sometimes I got confused with what was going on and had to go back and read it again. I was guessing the entire time, couldn't tell which way it was going to go. I love books that keep my guessing, the characters are ..well crazy!!! Twist, turns, hotness, lies, crazy, love ect.... reading the second one now!!

This was not the right book for me. The story started off really well but began to loose focus and direction.

I am now one hundred percent sure that i'm a magnet for shitty books, like this one.
I started reading this book because of the title and the description, i thought there's going to be mystery and suspense and i was curious and excited to start it, it turned out to be a telling of the sex life of a lunatic.
The h was immature and annoying, and she hates it when people call her crazy even though it's the absolute truth
so, what sane girl lusts over a criminal who manhandles her and steal all her money ? I don't hate him for doing this Cuz he is a criminal, but what's her excuse? Oh yeahhh, she's a crazy bitch.
She pays for a prostitute to get the H to lighten up, and then she's mad and hurt when she finds out in the morning that he slept with the prostitute. What did you expect honey? Like he said
The H gets turned on a by her when she's being bad, like punch and bite some guy bad, our crazy cupcake here did both. He's even more turned on when she slaps him, not to mention how he called her names while pleasuring her including bitch and she's okay with all of it, well, I AM NOT.
But what frustrated me to no end was that he didn't appear to be interested in her at all, he's always sitting doing illegal shit with his laptop while she's always stuck at his hip, inviting him to her body.
Overall, thank you for wasting my time.

What’s the point? This book… wow! I love what the author has done here, creating such intriguing characters and a plot full of twists and turns that leave you on the edge of your seat. I love how secretive it all is, and how it never goes where you expect it to. I love that I am now desperate to find out what is next!
Aurora is on a quest to find her boss, Benjamin. He’s been missing for six months, but he was able to get a cryptic message to her in hopes she could find him.
Exile is the man for the job. He’s the only one who can help her, but it will come at a cost.
Hide and Seek, is a story of determination, love, lust, betrayal, secrecy and lies. It’s impossible to tell who can be trusted and just when you think you have it figured out, everything changes again. Thoroughly enjoyed this one and can’t wait to read the next instalment!

This was my first book from Scarlett, and i must say I was very pleased.
Great story line- Check.
Lots of things to keep you turning the pages- Check.
Characters you didn't want to punch in the face... well that just depends.
I really enjoyed meeting Rora, and Exile. I love a good adventure, that can keep me on the edge of my seat and let's just say, Scarlett did not disappoint. There were some points where I thought I knew how things would end and lets just say.. NOPE! And even though she left me hanging at an evil spot... I can only say it makes me love it even more... I cannot wait to read more of this series and see where this adventure takes me.. er um I mean Rora.... P.S. Even though I am mad at Exile atm he is still mine so don't go getting any ideas... Just sayin ;)

Just wow
Another great read from Scarlett Finn. She knows how to suck you in. Aurora is looking for her books, Benjamin. Only person that can help is Strike. You can't find him on any database or list, untraceable. This story is just absolutely amazing and that cliffhanger hanger!!!
Aurora is a strong woman but Strike, I have no words for him. He is as alpha as they come but it isn't about sex. He doesn't take orders, he gives and people follow. They know not to mess with him but Auroras will not back down. Scarlett has a way with words and bringing out the strongest characters. I can't wait for the next book!!

This book is a rollercoaster from start to finish.
With her best friend missing and no one else to trust, Aurora Maguire turns to a cyber ghost, a myth among society known only as Exile, to help her track down her friend. The only problem is she doesn't know whether or not she can trust him not to turn on her in the process.
Exile (Strike) answers to no one and he certainly isn't going to bow down to the demands of a firecracker like Aurora (Rora). But when her demands bring him closer to his overall goal he might just play along. While Strike and Rora search for her friend, the connection between them starts to grow hotter but Strike has his own reasons for keeping his distance.
This book is filled with subterfuge and deception. The question of who to trust and who's telling the truth becomes harder to answer the deeper Rora falls down the rabbit hole. This book does end with a cliffhanger and I hope we don't have to wait too long to find out what happens next.

Thrilling and exciting!
When Aurora seeks out the elusive Exile to help her find her friend, she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic infuriating a$$hole that he is. As they start their cross country journey it becomes clear that she's on a dangerous mission. She also has the answer to the all important question, and there's those who'll stop at nothing to know it. But who can she trust?
There's lots of sassy come backs from the feisty Rora and dark sexy brooding from Exile, in this fast paced, thrilling romantic suspense. It had me gripped from the start, and with plenty of exciting twists and turns, plus a storyline to blow your mind, you won't be able to put it down.

THIS WAS AMAZING!! EVERY SINGLE PAGE WAS PERFECT! I have so many emotions right now. It was so damn good. SF writes so beautifully, with amazing characters and plotlines. Obviously he was great but Rora was so freaking awesome. She’s smart, kind, loyal, badass, brave, loving, funny, sweet... just perfect! I loved the plot and the question and the drama. And everything they said to each other. I love them together. And their cute nicknames. I reread so many parts as I went along and still I just wanna read the whole book all over again. And the end!!! I can’t believe it. I mean I can. But I also can’t. Ahhh. I have to go and start the next one immediately.

Fantastic
Rora and Strike have nothing in common. She needs his help but he tries his hardest to stay away from her. Of course that doesn't happen.

Hide and Seek: Exile bk1 by @scarlett.finn
Ok so if you like sweet romances, happily ever afters, standard bad boys and a girl next door in your novels... You will not like this book.
However! If you like toxic relationships, betrayal, corruptible female lead characters that will take a knife in the neck for her man and a man that cares more about his computer than human beings?
You will love this book!!🖤🖤🖤🖤
This is book definitely has some #jetblackheart action going on.
Read at your own peril. This Exile series has 2 books so if you make it the second book then will get the feeling I have now of complete and utter-read the book and figure it out.
I love Scarlett Finn after reading Remember When an Amnesia romance novel. Check that out too if you like.

Intriguing and Suspenseful
I really enjoyed this book, I found it very intriguing and suspenseful. Aurora seeks to find her boss and enlists the help of Exile. But Exile wants no part of it. Aurora is bound and determined to find Benjamin after searching for him for six months. Aurora just needs to convince Exile that Benjamin is worth saving.
I loved the characters, as Aurora is strong, and determined. Exile is mysterious, and cocky. I also enjoy that Aurora is not intimidated by Exile, I love their chemistry. This is a great book.

Passion, intrigue, and sassy confidence to die for!
Passion, intrigue, and sassy confidence to die for! These characters became alive for me. They were beautifully layered and chaotic. The story unraveled pulling me in more with each page. I was at the edge of my seat and craving more. They pushed each other’s buttons with sass and grace. I loved every second and I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

Review
This book was amazing. It is full of intrigue and violence. Auroura started her journey with one goal in mind and she found Exile was not the person she should have trusted. Everyone in this story has an agenda in mind and are willing to go to great lengths to get what they want. I can’t wait to see what happens next

This was WOW and kept me guessing all the way to the end. I never knew who to trust. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I was proved wrong. This was suspenseful, sexy and just left me hanging on every word.

Am amazing rollercoaster ride 💞💞⭐⭐
This is the first book that I have read by this author.
And what a book I chose to be my first read 🙀🙀
Exile and Rora's relationship is so full of twists that it gives you whiplash.
Then throw in Bella and Benjamin and you have a veritable hot bed of lust, love and madness 🤯
Bella and Exile want to know the answer to this question, What is the point? And only two people have the answer Rora and Benjamin.
This book is really well written and a real page turner that you won't want to put down and definitely won't be disappointed in picking up and reading.
Although be warned it does end on a CLIFFHANGER as it is part of a duet, but I would still advise/recommend that you read it 💗💗💗💗⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
