The Hidden by Jessica Verday

2.0

This book had me cheering for somebody to die. Really, sick huh. The girl Abby has to die to complete her ghostly mate Caspian, as seen in other books. Her time is near, she must make a choice. Here I am thinking die, die, die already be with him. Dang what is wrong with me. She has parents, friends, and other people who will be damaged if she dies. Yet, i still want her to die. Caspian is that wonderful, sigh. I wavered from loving this book to hating it. Abby's teen angst was a bit idiotic at times. Her constant analyzing, without seeing what was Captain Obvious right in front of her was hair pulling. her week character almost ruined the story. (think Bella)
The story moved on, Abby learns to move on without her best friend. Well not really, she has her on her mind constantly. Her parents are trying to support her and give her what she needs to grow past this. They give her her dream. Her friends are focused on the Prom, dresses dates, etc. They push her to go, it's important everyone says. Meanwhile- Victor, is not done terrorizing her. Caspian is drifting away as his death day approaches. She does not know anything, till the end and that may be too late.
I guess I am glad I read it. It ended so I never have to think about it again. The ending felt a bit rushed after such a long angst filled story. Lots of teen angst, unrealistic angst.
