Who knew falling in love could be so dangerous!
Told in two timelines, Hidden is a gripping YA paranormal romance where a seventeen year old girl and a vampire fall in love.
19th Century Paris
Alexandre Chevalier is a handsome and charming young man. He is flirtatious and fun loving but takes things a little too far and ends up on an archeological dig with his parents. It is where he will find an underground city that will change his life forever.
In the present
Madison Greene is a seventeen-year-old in foster care along with her younger brother, Ben. On the verge of being kicked out of her foster home, she learns that she and her brother have inherited an estate in the English Countryside. Marchwood will be her new home and it is there in the basement where her life will change forever.
This is the first book in a YA paranormal romance series that I sped through as I wanted to know what was going to happen next. I love the two timelines but especially the time in the past when Alexandre and his family are on a quest to find a hidden city. I found that section to be gripping and intriguing. In the present day, Maddie gets almost a Cinderella story where she suddenly has her life changed by an unknown inheritance and things get better for her.
I thought this was a great YA book that readers of all ages can enjoy. It’s both light and dark but never too scary. I enjoyed getting to know the two main characters along with those in their lives.
This is the first book in the series and Boland left me wanting more. If you have read Boland’s books before, this is a departure for her but a very enjoyable one. You will want to sink your teeth into this!
Gripping, romantic and well written.
