A review by hookedbythatbook
Hidden Nature by Nora Roberts

4.0

A series of seemingly unrelated disappearances kicks off a race against time to find the killer in this exciting murder mystery. 

The story took its time to get going, but then, about halfway, the tension started to ramp up. It was nerve wracking waiting for the other shoe to drop. The villain viewpoints were eerie and became progressively more disturbing. I found the plot around the killers’ motivation super interesting and captivating. 

My favourite part was the romance between Sloan and Noah. It was sweet, supportive, and sexy. The speedy relationship between their siblings made for plenty of lighthearted, charming moments in between the simmering tension. Sloan and Noah took a slower road to their happy-ever-after, but it suited them and the tone of the story. 

Overall, I enjoyed this crime thriller, but it did have a lot of slow moments. The construction and gardening details took attention from the main plot away too often. I can recommend this book if you like police investigations and murder with your steamy romance.
