The Hidden by Jessica Verday
3.0
What just happened in the end? Change the course of nature? Kristin coming back? Maybe it was destiny, maybe whatever happened due to the interference caused by Vincent, the ass wasn’t supposed to happen, but, and there is a big BUT, do revenants really have the power to just change the course of time? Huh? Do they?
I’m happy for Abbey and Caspian. Believe me, I am. Yet I am disappointed. The ending wasn’t just unexpected; it has left me frowning in the end. I’m in denial. Sorta. The epilogue wasn’t long enough. How is it justified to any parent? Maybe it was meant to be. Still. Oh, and what about Cyn? Seriously, you just bring her in the story and she’s all mysterious and stuff. She can do the mind mojo, she has some weird connection to the plants, and she can let spirits pass through her. However, you still decide to keep it a mystery about her true nature/powers. Why?
I have to admit that things about Reverants and Shades getting cleared out (finally) was a relief and really interesting. I still don’t understand why four shades were given the job of finding one Vincent. And the thing about Monty self-sacrificing himself and becoming Vincent, the schizo’s, other half didn’t suit me well.
I figured out that the end was gonna be soon for Abbey when her mom brought up the spending-romantic-weekend-alone somewhere. (It might have something to do with the number of pages left too). What I’m really glad about is, Caspian’s death day. November 1. Gah! I was waiting for it all the way through the book. Boy, was it worth it! And poor poor Caspian, having to go through those long days of dark nothingness. And being Abbey’s personal boyfriend/servant. Now, who wouldn’t want such a hot guy getting you your blankets every night? Every girl’s dream. *sighs*
Vincent was a top-notch jerk. All the way. He was a diabolical psychopath. Ben and Beth were sweet characters. There was less of Ben in this book though. His presence wasn’t even required so I’m not complaining. Cyn, I don’t know what to think or say about her. Uri seemed nice. Cacey’s nonchalant behavior was fun to read. Abbey’s parents, I feel so bad for them. So so bad.
The story was nice. This whole series has been a slow read. However, it was a good read. The idea of Shades was new. I’m still not sure about my rating. I guess it’s a 3.5 or 3.25. I don’t know.
