. I enjoyed this book. I would definitely read another book by this author. That being said, I have no idea who I would recommend this to because it was so weird.

This read more crime fiction than I wanted. I came for selkies and mother-child relationships, but got entirely too much of the detectives pov.

This is the 2nd time Melanie Golding has wowed me. This audiobook is TWELVE HOURS LONG, and I read it in one sitting. I got so lost in this. It's one of those where the characters and the story has so much depth that you get lost in it and forget that you're reading. Golding is an auto-read author for me. The audiobook narrator, Penelope Rawlins, did a superb job here.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for a copy of this ARC.

A suspenseful cat and mouse novel about two women, one who believes she is a Selkie, and one who is tasked with helping her find her sealskin coat so she can escape her sinister husband with her daughter. This folklore comes to life in a modern way.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
(only because it dragged a bit at times)

Selkies or mental health issue? The Hidden transport the reader to this amazing folkloric tale and who can tell the truth and tale apart?
This book was a really interesting read. After I read the blurb nothing could prepare me to the journey I was about to embark on. It was surprising and I couldn't put it down. The characters are well developped and without spoiling anything, let me just say that it is hard to really know someone you just met!
The chronology used to relate the events was well chosen, I enjoyed the back and forth movement between the scenes and the characters it added tension to the story.
