anamchara 's review for:

Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts
4.25
mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Loveable characters: Yes

I really liked it, Nora is and always will be one of my favourite authors. I'll read anything she writes. The way she writes her characters and their stories, as well as their relationships, both romantic and familial, is unmatched.

This story is about Sloan, a Natural Resources police officer, who gets shot and almost dies after she walks in on a robbery. Her recovery will take time, so she goes back to her hometown with her parents and sister. While recovering, a missing person case gets her attention and by looking more into the case, she'll discover there are even more victims. With Nash, her neighbour and contractor, who is helping her work through the case, will she able to find the killers before they strike too close. All while slowly falling in love. 

I absolutely loved the characters, Sloan and her family were such a delight. The way they embraced Nash and his brother Theo was amazing. 
I enjoyed the suspense part, and I really liked the fact we got insight into the killers too.

The only thing I didn't liked is that the pace was really slow at times. Some things were way too detailed.
Also, the story is divided in three parts, and we only got to see Sloan and Nash meet in the second part. It didn't make any sense to drag it out that much. 

Overall, still a great story. I really liked the setting. I recommend it.
