Sarah Pinborough's "The Hidden"

This is the first Novel (that I'm aware of) from a shining new Horror novelist. This book starts off a little confusing (think of the movie "Pulp Fiction" for just a little of the first pages) but quickly focuses the plot as you read. The Characters are brilliantly crafted and are easy to feel compassion for. I look forward to her next novel. :)

BEST BOOK EVER

I LOVE this book!!! I borrowed it from my sister in-law and just couldnt put it down!! I was completely intised by it. at one point I was so deep into it that someone bumped me and I ended up jumping and throwing the book across the room. This book is the best!! A must have for all mystery/horror buffs!!!!

Nightmares!!!

Wow!! Very few books scare me, but this one was hard to put down! Without giving anything away, you will want to keep all the lights on and get rid of all your mirrors!! I highly recommend this if you are a horror fan!!

Pure unadulterated Amusement.

With this being the first novel by Sarah Pinborough I have only two words, Good Job. The plot is original and gripping. The events flow decently; the motives and the reactions of the characters are true and completely believable. Getting into the mind of both predator and prey, she takes you on a roller coaster ride where evil awaits with bated breath. Hell even the morally depraved and damaged can be redeemed. I loved it! The atmosphere is filled with a sense of hopeless abandon and a stink of rot. I suggest a scalding hot shower to relieve you of said odor. The characters are a bit too clichéd, have little or no history and too many questions go unanswered. For example, what happened to Elizabeth Ray between 14 and 40? What kind of childhood did Rachel have? Was the wholesome neighbor, Mike, a stalker? If he only met her a few times, how did he know so much about her? How did Murray's wife die? How many people were killed in Ray's house? Oh I could go on, but I won't. I've decided because it is Pinborough's first book, I will overlook the players ... just this once. The pace in the book is fanatical, almost dangerous. The tension explodes on the first page and climbs steadily and with stealth. Warning: If you are a nail-biter do not, I repeat do not, read this book without first using precautionary measures. Pinborough's style of writing is compassionate, quick-witted, and above all else compelling. The descriptions are graphic and textured, evoking the scenarios with grotesque imagery. Excellent!
