And here I thought I could finally get away from my past.
But nope. It's like a f*cking revolving door.And to top it off, I'm at a funeral saying goodbye to someone I never thought I would have to say goodbye to. The lines of 'right' and 'fair' no longer exist.It's every guy, girl, and rotten whore for themselves in this town. And my plan is to make it out alive.
And I hope it's with the right person holding my hand...

Wes will do what ever it takes to protect Aira, even when she doesn't want it, and now he is determined to end the crap that has been going on - with everyone. I loved the drama, suspense, raw lust and the love they have....such a great story. I can't wait to see what comes next!!
HIDDEN CREEK FOREVER (Hidden Creek High Book 4) By Jaxson Kidman This is the oh so very satisfying conclusion to the Hidden Creek High series. This is the best YA series I have ever read. We get our questions answered. We get emotions that run the gamut from crying, laughing, anger, fear, to an unexpected funeral, to drama, suspense and intrigue. Mr. Kidman is so good at making you feel all the emotions and the angst. I loved the ending of this book and hope he continues writing about Hidden Creek. I do not like to give too much information about the book away, you need to read and experience it yourself! This is a definite 5 star read!
Jaxson has done it again with a great HS study. The turmoil and suspense kept me clued to this book. I have fallen in love with these characters @nd enjoy all their quirky behaviors. What a cliff hanger, what’s next?
Aira discovers there are more disturbing truths yet to be uncovered, even one that hits close to home. She just can't catch a break. The only time Aira feels safe is when she's with Wes. Wes gets it. He gets her, even though he has lot weighing on his mind also. Aira, dealing with the fallout of her father's betrayal to his family and Wes, trying to protect Aira from HCH and the town's secrets. As more secrets are exposed, it seems Wes and Aira may never escape the next bombshell Hidden has in store for them. For so long Wes and Aira had been hoping for better days, maybe even their happily ever after. Apparently things were going to get worse before they were going to get better...A lot worse. I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED THIS BOOK ! ! ! THE ENDING WAS BRILLIANT ! SO MANY POSSIBILITIES ! ! ! I NEED MORE OF THIS SERIES NOW ! THESE CHARACTERS AND THEIR MESSY LIVES EASILY BECAME A PART OF MINE. THESE BOOKS HAVE BEEN ONE WILD RIDE AFTER ANOTHER ! DON'T MISS OUT, ONE-CLICK ASAP ! ! !
Absolutely amazing! I can’t recommend enough that you read this series. I have loved every book from it and this one is no exception. Jaxson really gets into the mind of these characters and you can’t help but feel as though you are right there in Hidden watching it all play out. There are plenty of WTF moments in true Jaxson Kidman style. Also moving and highly emotional scenes. The drama is off the wall and runs throughout perfectly. This book is the end of Aira and Wes’ story. Can’t wait to see what comes next from Jaxson Kidman!
This series is phenomenal!! You do need to read all books in order to understand what’s going on. Each book is a continuation of the one before basically. I love the fact that kidman does not repeat from the previous book like some authors do. In this book, Kidman finishes the story of Wes and Aira. Tying up loose ends. Some questions are answered, while others are just beginning. Kidman did leave the ending able to do spinoffs with other characters. Which I’m excited to read.
Love and Loyalty. Wes and Aira have faced secrets, threats, violence, and drama but through it all they have protected each other. Their love for one another and their friends has deepened and their loyalty to those that they care for is steadfast. Most of the secrets are revealed. Great ending to the series...or is it?...
WOW! Awesome work Jaxson! I only teared up this time round! That ending! I would say that's a cliffhanger! Hopefully this is not the end of HCH. There's alot more to come!
This is the last book of Wes and Aira's story. But hopefully we'll see more of them in future books?
Leading off where Hidden Creek Darkness left off from. Aira and Wes are back together. She finally finds out who and why her old house was set fire. And who was leaving threatening notes. Coming to terms with all that, her Mother invading Julias. Trying to get Aira away from Wes and Hidden.
" I can't save you from what's been done. But I'll make sure nothing else hurts you." ~ Wes
There's still who's trying to set up Pops' garage... one name crops up, it's just trying to prove it. But this is Hidden, there's more to it.
Then there's the fighting between HCH and BFH schools. Aira, of course is thinking that it's all her fault from what happened at that one party where Wes saved her. But the rivalry has always been there for years.
Ryland reveals more secrets to Aira. It's all page turning drama. Draws you in from the start.
"Some questions were just not meant to have an answer." ~ Aira
Then out of nowhere, tragedy strikes. No one saw it coming. Who did it?
Mika comes back to HCH. Trying to get under Airas skin. But Aira turns the tables, becoming more of a bitch than Mika usually is. But in doing that Aira let's slip a part of Mikas secret that Ryland told her. Now everyone knows Mikas whole secret.
West, Wes' father, does his famous vanishing trick (getting some of what he usually comes for) and leaves Hidden. Have we seen the last of him? Is West a suspect? Is that why he got out of town so fast? Or will he come back to try and get Pops' land and garage?
O.M.G!! We finally find out who Novas' "Summer Boy" is! We were told his first name in previous book. But nothing else connecting him to Hidden. No wonder he's called "Summer Boy". I've got a feeling that he won't be "Summer Boy" for long. Something tells me he'll become more permanent. Will he team up with Mika to cause more drama?
Again, the comedic relief is always there in the form of the guys, (and Cherry, she knows how to handle all those kids). The girls are amazing too. It's great how they all have each other's backs.
Is this the start of Jett and Julia finally getting together? Which of the remaining guys and girls do you think will get together?
This series was absolutely amazing. Totally blindsided me once again!
"Forever....means time never ends." ~ Aira
*I received an Arc copy in exchange for an honest review*
Reading Order:- Hidden Creek Secrets Hidden Creek Love Hidden Creek Darkness Hidden Creek Forever
Who's funeral are we attending? Who is summer boy? Will Aira and Noelle ever be friends? Will the war between Ryland and Wes ever end? How many more fights will Wes battle?
The wait is over folks. The twists, turns, torture, unanswered questions and anxiety attacks that Jaxson Kidman has put us through while reading the first three books finally comes to a close. Not only are we left with all of our questions answered but we are left wanting more of these amazing characters we have grown to love and to hate. This is what Jaxson Kidman does though, he creates these characters that we do not want to say goodbye to. They become a part of us. When the gang is at a bonfire or swimming at Jett's pool, we are right there with them. If Wes is in a fight, we feel the blood splatter. When Emma is holding a baseball bat, we watch the breathing change on certain guys. And when Wes and Aira are around each other, PHEW {is it hot in here?} We can feel the sexual chemistry.
Hidden can be a dangerous place to live - everyone holding on to their own secrets but only one thing is for sure, "...the bad boy in my bed was forever the bad boy in my heart." Wes-n-Aria 4Ever
When this book releases on 6.30. IT IS A MUST READ! This series you do not want to miss.
This series has been such a wild ride. These books have taken me back to my high school days. You will get pissed off and you will laugh out loud. Wes and Airas relationship withstood so many other students trying to destroy them and keep them apart. But through it all they have been able to survive past all the bull. There is heartache and tears with the loss of a very important person in this series. But there are good times as well. These two survived people trying to ruin them and tear them apart. So many twists and turns through out this book. But we finally get so many answers we have been waiting for. We get our HEA with Wes and Aira. Once again Jaxson Kidman pulls you in from the very first page. You will feel every emotion these characters feel. You will want to throw the book at Jaxson at times. I promise you will love this series and you will love Hidden Creek Forever. Don't miss out on an amazing series. Bravo Jaxson Kidman. If I could a 1000 stars or more I would this deserves so much more.
Wow! What an unexpected ending to this brilliant series!! Wes and Aira are so much in love that the bond they have is unbreakable.... Not by Noelle or by Ryland, even though they both try. They survive the secrets, rumours, gossip and the fights. The unexpected death of one of their own within the town of Hidden puts everyone on edge. Wes needs to protect what is his even more now, even if Aira doesn't want protecting. Who is Summer boy?? The danger has never been more evident and now Wes is determined to end what has been going for what seems like forever in HCH. This book is definitely worthy of 5 stars and more, what an ending...or is it another beginning.....
Wes and Aira have never had an easy ride. They struggle together and apart. Secrets slowly come to light, a light that seems to simultaneously be burning out.
Wes and Aira fight for their love and lives. Aira's feeling pressure from friends, mother, news of her father and Ryland. She's becoming the aggressor, not caring about secrets. Wes still tries to protect her, all while finding trouble left in her wake. It seems friends and foes are hard to decipher.
We get many questions answered in this book all while Kidman opens up just enough to allow us to ponder a few more possibilities of what might really have happened.
Well, I won't say, "That's all folks"! Because it's not! I wont be giving away any spoilers sorry, I'd rather let the reader discover for themselves, whether the plot brings, Happiness or Tragedy. The fourth book of the Hidden creek series, is extremely well written, with great characters we've come to know, love and really hate. There is lots of angst, violence, fights, and secrets, and that's just the girls! Charlotte and Flynn are hilarious, I do love the running jokes throughout the series about Charlotte's breasts. This book has not been left on a cliffhanger as such, but set us up for another HCH book. Thoroughly recommended 💗
I'm having a hard time writing a review for this one. I love that W and A finally got their HEA, as much as teenagers can anyway. But I dont know exactly how to feel about the way it ended. More of the secrets have been revealed and if you've read the other 3 books in the series you know someone is going to die, it's not who you think it will be. I have enjoyed Wes and Aira's journey, I hope you do also.
Jaxson has done it again. The 4th book in this series. What a series it is. You get it all, hate, fights, angry, crying, laughing, death and love. Wes and Aira is an amazing couple who stands up for each other. Wow, what a ride or high. Mine was a high, couldn’t put the book down . A real page turner for sure. With a cliffhanger like this one more has to be in store. Can’t wait to see Jaxson
What an amazing ending to Wes and Aira’s story. This author really brings the characters to life, and while reading I felt I was walking along side them, observing everything going on around them. If you haven’t read any of the books in this series, pick up the first book, you won’t be disappointed and you’ll be able to go on a binge read of Wes and Aira’s story. A solid 5+ stars.
WOW what a great ending to a series. Never have I been consumed from beginning to end with a book series like this one. The story will grab you from the first book to the final, so many emotions to contend with completely addictive. Loved how with the final book in the Hidden Creek High Series, Jaxson Kidman brings everything full circle. READ THIS SERIES!! YOU WON’T REGRET A MINUTE OF IT!!
This last book of Wes & Aria wow! I need more, Ryland being murder by who knows who. His brother Elijah showing up also being Nova summer guy. Aria & Noelle maybe kinda getting along. Jack secret of trying to kill Stella. Where do West wonder off to because I know he isn’t gone for good. Again what happened with Jett & Julia! I can’t wait to read Nova & Elijah. But first BFH I can’t wait!

What can I say about book #4, absolutely amazing as always. All the secret come out in book 4. I couldn’t put it done. Excellent job Jaxson. I look forward to seeing where this series goes.
Wow! What a great end to this story, Jaxson never disappoints if you haven’t read the Hidden Creek High series do it now!! You will not be disappointed it will hook you from the very start.
I'm a glutton for punishment!! That's the only explanation to why I keep reading the books in this series! The story is repetitive as hell! There's always a mystery... A secret... and those kids fight each other like it's their lives purposes! And when you think they are going to put things behind them, there's another cliffhanger! And the writing itself is just as unimaginative! It's "he said"; "she said"; "so and so said"... just find a different verb already! It's annoying to read the same thing every other dialogue line! But, with all these things pushing me away, the story is freaking addictive! It's like those kids are the local junior mafia, where Wes is the don and Aira is stepping up to be his donna. I do like their crazy relationship, though. It does feel like they really love each other. And that crazy group of friends make me laugh when they are together! I guess the story is, somehow, growing on me.
No, seriously, what a great end to the story of Wes and Aira.
The prologue of each book has you at a funeral. You don’t know who that funeral is for until the middle of this book. You know Aira is there with a boy (it’s a romance, so you expect that she ends up with Wes). I kept trying to guess, but it wasn’t until slightly before the truth is uncovered that I figured it out.
Did I read a different book? I don’t know why I even finished it. I really didn’t care for it from the first book, but thought.m, my it will get better. Nope.
Let’s start with Aira. Ok I get it tragedy struck, the life she knew was a lie, but I’m convinced this chick is a manic, sociopath. She had zero redeeming qualities. I was hoping she would be a “ Don’t take no shit, I’ll stick up for myself, I won’t hit first, but I’ll hit last” kinda girl. NOPE. She was just a mean girl. She was a horrible friend, if you could call it that, unbelievably jealous, and didn’t care about anyone but herself. Then she would have these moments where she was so stunned with Wes’ fighting, somehow blaming herself, but really she was just into the drama. She would act all bad ass calling people bitches and smoking her random cigarette cause it remind her of Wes. But she could not do shit for herself! It was ridiculous how often she needed Wes to fix her problems, while trying to be all independent. Btw who goes straight to their boyfriends house when they are fighting and taking off to make a statement?
Wes was slightly better, but not really? “ o I have to take care of this girl who is my everything thing, but I haven’t really thought about my one true love until the moment she got back” I mean does social media not exist in this story line? Not to mention he flirted way too much with other chicks and I am not convinced he doesn’t have a thing for Noelle. At one point he says , “ I need them both, just in different ways”. Yea..... no! He was a hot head who was quick to hit. Half the time I felt like they were in some sort of weird West Side Story time warp. I kept asking myself “ are they gonna rumble?”
I do not feel like the Noelle thing was resolved at all and kept waiting for that story line to make since. Actually I felt like a lot of the side stories were vague and honestly didn’t make much sense or have a place in the story.
The Ryland thing didn’t fit either. Also Ryker, Ryland, Ryder?????? I mean could you not come up with any other names? Let’s also discuss Julia and Jett? What the hell is that there? How do parents let you go and live with your uncles ex wife whom you look down on for not being rich?
This story was incredibly juvenile but kept making you think these teenagers were far beyond their years, but really they are a bunch of regular teenage assholes. Yea I’m not convinced in the real world Wes and Aira would make it.
Didn’t like the story in the end and am aggravated I actually finished it up to this point

Jaxson is wonderful at drawing out the drama in these books at the same time i love how close the friendship keep getting and how the all protect each other.
>Book Review – Hidden Creek Forever >I am an independent reviewer. This book is the 4th in the Hidden Creek High series and ends in an HEA for the couple, sorta. The plot continues on into the next 4 books. Wes and Aira seem to be a solid couple, yet they are still plagued by Aira’s jealousy regarding Wes’ exes. Once again, communication would solve this issue. Aira has really turned in to an unpleasant person. She is physically abusive towards her friends and Wes. The author portrays her acts of violence as being a strong woman. I disagree and just feel Aira is on a power trip and selfish. She acts without thinking and doesn't care about anyone around her. >The story has the answer to the question of who set Aira’s house on fire. The answer and its result were anti-climactic. The unexpected death and the tie in to the house fire seemed a bit far-fetched. This book is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this book 3 stars. The characters are less and less redeemable. The relationship between Aira and Wes seems toxic. The way these kids skip school with little to no consequence is unrealistic.
It was an okay read due to it being never ending. Just when you think the series is ending....here comes another character to keep it going. I found myself skimming through certain parts that were repetitive. You know the drill partying, make out sessions and bullying. There were very little mystery and who done it scenes. Also, when the main female character visits her father...she didn't ask the right questions of who were you in business with...what were you trying to get rid of (even though he said he didn't know 'She' was at home) and why did he stay with her mom knowing he didn't love his wife any more? And who was Ryland on the beach with...fighting with Dean and Nick. See...too many unanswered questions. Sorry to give a not so good of a review., but that's why I have it 2 stars.☺
This book is the 1st in the Hidden Creek High series and ends in a cliffhanger. Wes and Aria grew up together until they were 10 years old. Aria moves back as a teen after her house burns to the ground. Aria and Wes reconnect, even though Wes is now a “bad boy”. The entire drama of book surrounds around the town and hoe everyone has secrets. A popular boy starts to tease Aria at school and Wes really takes offense, way more than I felt was necessary. I didn’t understand why having your house burn down was such a huge secret. I honestly didn't understand what the big deal was with most of the secrets. The more this series drags on, I like it less and less. The same conflicts spread over several books. Aria becomes more unlikeable as the series goes on. I found this series immature, but it is free on KU, and plenty of people have liked it so give it a try.
Well played Mr Kidman, well played – another wild ride. You had us eating that apple from the palm of your hand – only you didn’t give us the kiss from the prince. You taught us that you were the mirror messing with our minds. You decided that it wasn’t time for a nice smooth ride down the chocolate river and for some reason even though we’d been good and patient waiting to see where you led us you Mr Wonka, let the squirrels throw us down the garbage shut for no reason. I mean we’d been through a lot and though it was over, you continued to torment us, making us yell and scream messing with us like you were Donald and we were Daisy. I’m so glad you were Donald though because in the end you love us like Huey, Dewey and Louie. Thank you for the amazing ride but next time can you be a bit gentler.
This book is part 4 and the conclusion of Wes and Aira’s story. Hidden Creek continues to torment and hinder their relationship, obstacles forever appearing to try and get in between them.
There are shocks and revelations and a whole heap of emotions explored in this book, heartbreak and loss along with the resounding commitment and bond between our two main characters.
Along the way, they discover more about themselves, more about each other and what makes them indestructible.
Whilst this may be the end of Wes and Aira, Jaxson appears to be unfinished with the town of Hidden Creek (yay!!) and I’ve no doubt that there are still more secrets and stories to be told.
Thank you Jaxson for another book that had me turning the pages, unable to put it down, until the end 🖤
