The Hidden by Melanie Golding

4.0

What I like about Melanie Golding is her ability to write about the challenges of women in the present day and her ability to add a touch of folklore. She adds just enough to make it plausible and completely thought-provoking.

In 'The Hidden', what begins as a murder investigation, turns into so much more. An attempted murder victim is not who he appears to be. Follow along to watch the escape from a coercive controlling domestic situation. He claims she's crazy for believing she is descended from the mythological Selkies. But is she?

This novel dives into family secrets, domestic abuse & kidnapping. The author ties it all together in a compelling narrative. It is fast-paced and thought-provoking. If the Synopsis sounds good to you, I highly recommend picking this one up.
