Musings
This is the first book I have read by Tara Thomas, and I
enjoyed Hidden Fate a great deal. I received a digital ARC from the
publisher via Net Galley with the promise to read and review in advance of
publication. My opinions are my own and are not influenced by that fact.
Hidden Fate is a fast-paced, exciting read. While it doesn’t
meet the traditional criteria for a romance, it definitely does as a thriller.
I totally enjoyed the plot and the building of tension. The story pulled me in
from the start.
Janie’s character is engaging, and I liked her right away.
She got a raw deal from her employer which helped me become invested in her
character. Since this is a short novella, her character development is better
than I normally see in this type of book.
Brent’s character also pulled me in. He is a stand-up kind
of guy with no hidden agendas. I would have liked to know more about his inner
thoughts and his background, but again, this is a very short novella designed
to tease the reader and make them want to read more. It certainly did that for
me.
Janie and Brent are already in a relationship so I didn’t
get to experience them falling in love, but the attraction between them is
strong, and I can easily see them as life-long lovers.
The focus of this book is plot-driven and it’s done very
well. Ms. Thomas is clearly a master at suspense, and it comes through loud and
clear in Hidden Fate. I’m glad I decided to read this book, and I can’t
wait to read more in the next installment. I do want to mention this is a cliff
hanger, so make sure you have Twisted End downloaded as the story
continues in it. Happy reading!
