All during the investigation Bailey and Jacob start to fall for each other but try to keep their relationship professional which of course doesn't work out well for them. Their lives are forever changed after they track down the next target and Bailey becomes a target for a different reason.

Laura Griffin has the ability to take a terrible occurrence and turn it into a story that keeps you enamored, has you hoping the bad guys are brought to justice, and the main characters get their HEA. Hidden is no different I had no idea who the bad guy was going to be or if there was more than one, but I did get bad feelings about different characters that left me wondering, and I was wrong, my mind should have gone in a different direction. There was one characteristic that left me a little on edge, there was a woman in Plano that was kidnapped and murdered after running on a trail. The difference was, she was running late at night and but they found her body in the lake as well. I'm not sure if that case was solved but it did seem similiar to me. But like usual another great read!!
