Hidden (Firelight #3) by Sophie Jordan,
read by Therese Plummer

An impossible romance.
Bitter rivalries.
Deadly choices.

To save the life of the boy she loves, Jacinda did the unthinkable: She betrayed the most closely-guarded secret of her kind. Now she must return to the protection of her pride knowing she might never see Will again—and worse, that because his mind has been shaded, Will’s memories of that fateful night and why she had to flee are gone.

Back home, Jacinda is greeted with hostility and must work to prove her loyalty for both her sake and her family’s. Among the few who will even talk to her are Cassian, the pride’s heir apparent who has always wanted her, and her sister, Tamra, who has been forever changed by a twist of fate. Jacinda knows that she should forget Will and move on—that if he managed to remember and keep his promise to find her, it would only endanger them both. Yet she clings to the hope that someday they will be together again. When the chance arrives to follow her heart, will she risk everything for love? (Goodreads)

Hidden is the final book of Sophie Jordan’s Firelight trilogy, and picks up right where Vanish leaves off. I’m so glad I didn’t have to wait for this book, and could read it right away, because Vanish ended with a huge cliffhanger.

Seriously, what a fun series! I really enjoyed being in the Draki world with these characters. I loved meeting and getting to know more secondary characters in both Vanish and Hidden, especially Tamara! The adventure, romance, and suspense really amped up over the series making these books such fun reads. I felt really torn between Will and Cassian, but I’m happy with who Jacinda chooses. For the record though, I’m team Cassian all the way (if only for myself!).

Though I’m sad the series has ended, I liked how Sophie tied up everything so neatly in the end. I can’t wait to dig into Sophie Jordan’s other books! I would recommend the Firelight series in both print and audio. Therese Plummer narrated the entire trilogy, and I thought she fit Jacinda, and the story, perfectly.
