Bronte Hughes lives an ordinary life with a loving family and close circle of friends, until one day when she stands-up to the school bully and is challenged to a dare at Farrow's Mill. It goes disastrously wrong and shatters her reality in the process. A single act leads to a near fatal accident, which sets closely guarded wheels in motion, and leads her to fall for her best friend, Riley.

Can Bronte keep it together, regain her first love, or will he reject her forever? What will happen when she meets Bayer at the mirrored lake? Join Bronte as she begins a journey of self-discovery, learning the truth, which reveals that she is the one who is different from those around her.

I would recommend Hidden by Serina Hartwell to any age range interested in strong characters, intriguing fantasy concepts and a sturdy, well-paced plot. It is probably aimed at tween/teens, who should read it; this is a good, strong story of people worth believing in. I liked in particular how immediately you care about the characters and sense there is more depth to the relationships to come in the trilogy.
The book hooked me, I read it quickly, and it kept my interest. Set in Yorkshire, the most beautiful place in England, where the people are beautiful and tough, this book does justice to my hometown, the people and the history, as well as the folklore. The blend of culture, the mill-speak beside American slang was quirky and real at the same time. I rate Bukowski and Lessing most highly, just to give you context.
I have never read Twilight (I have kept up with literary commentary however, and am one of those feminists too so…) the subservience of Bella is in stark contrast with Bronte from Hidden. I want bite from female characters, and Hidden gives that in great spoonfuls! Bronte has no self-pity, she is so much wiser than poor Bella; I wish I could swap every copy of Twilight for Hidden and help women have more faith they can achieve things themselves. Here is a female character I can appreciate, surrounded by refreshingly normal interactions, amid some strange goings-on, that help to define and engage her real personality. In Hidden is a young girl with powers; she is not waiting for a man to help her, but she loves too, and that is real. Her Grandma kicks ass also.
Not sure what to buy a young boy or girl for fear of nasty suggestions? Buy them Hidden.
Well done Serina. Wonderful first book. Keep them coming! (
