My Review:
I am a big fan of this author. I have read the first two books in this series. In Broken Build we get to see Vera as a sister who is mourning the loss of her brother. We get to see her family dynamics and we get to see her start to grow up. Then in Hidden Under Her Heart Vera is the best friend of a rape victim. We got to see her outside of her family and see how she interacted with friends. Hidden Under Her heart really affected me. I could not wait to read this book and see how the characters ended up. When I started to read I was so excited that Vera finally got her own book. She was such an older, and wiser character. Her character development throughout the series was worth the read. Then I got to read about the killer and how Vera's dad and Zach's mom were intertwined really had me wondering until the end. Zach had his own issues and I was so happy that he was the one that loved Vera. I can not wait for more books in this series. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
I received this book to review through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, all the opinions above are 100% my own.
Sounds like a fab series to read all together!!
