This was my first time reading Laura Griffin and it certainly won't be my last. Hidden was an intriguing page-turner. I couldn't wait for Jacob and Bailey to get their HEA in the midst of all the mystery!
Hidden (The Texas Murder Files #1) by Laura Griffin
An ambitious female reporter tracks a deadly threat in Austin, Texas, in the newest riveting thriller by New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.

She tries to pry information out of the lead detective, Jacob Merritt. But this case is unlike any he's ever seen, and nothing adds up.
Bailey has a hunch the victim wasn't who she claimed to be and believes this mugging-turned-murder could have been a targeted hit. When she digs deeper, the trail leads her to a high-tech fortress on the outskirts of Austin where researchers are pushing the boundaries of a cutting-edge technology that could be deadly in the wrong hands.
As a ruthless hit man's mission becomes clear, Bailey and Jacob must embark on a desperate search to locate the next target before the clock ticks down on this lethal game of hide and seek.

This was an exciting and captivating romantic suspense story that was fast-paced and fun to read! I enjoyed the characters, the storyline, and the mystery that tied it all together.

This was my first time reading this author and I really liked
what I got. It felt like it was an even split between the suspense and the
romance. I liked all the intrigue happening and the build to the story and the
fact that there are multiple POVs. Romance wise I liked both Jacob and Bailey, they
had a great attraction, and I enjoyed the conflict and trust issues they had
with one another and how it all played out. There was a nice slow burn
happening for these two as well. I thought the suspense and romance were well
balanced and I was looking forward to finding out all the answers and Jacob and
Bailey getting their HEA.
The story was intriguing and light. It had good details and
building layers, but not a lot of depth. It was just a really great read with
an awesome mystery happening and these two characters happened to fall for each
other in the middle of it all. It definitely felt like a lighter romance where
things were glossed over at times.
All in all, I found it really enjoyable. It was a good story
that wasn't too taxing and it wrapped up nice and easy. If you want a really good
mystery and a bit of romance and you don't want to completely stress yourself
out, this would be a great choice. Nice mix of suspense and passion that
will keep you turning the page!
