The book starts when Emma wakes up in the hospital after a horrible accident that took her parent’s life. While there Emma’s aunt contacts the hospital and obtains custody of the 17-year-old. The problem is that Emma has never even heard about this aunt and she has to move to Alaska!
Kade and other “mysterious” and handsome men (Guadians) are assign to escort her there and Emma suspects that something strange is going on. We are introduced to a host of characters that all seem to know about Emma, but she is at a disadvantage. Emma is loyal, smart, stubborn, and a bit lost. She was grieving and she’s thrown into chaos and danger at every turn.
Kade and Emma forged an instant connection that seems to be very rare, AND forbidden as well. They are fighting against mandates that are centuries old and against a prophecy that we don’t fully understand yet. I really liked them together and even though it is almost insta-love, it works here in the context of their paranormal connection.
The books is really fast paced. So much so that I believe that everything happens in a timeframe of less than one week. This made it difficult for both, Emma and the reader to keep up with the action and to what was being left unsaid. I think that a lot of questions remained unanswered, but this is somewhat typical of series. The writing is fluid and easy to understand.
Another thing that I didn’t love was that I was confused for a big part of the book. The mystery was too big and no one was explaining anything. It was difficult for me to go with the flow at times. I hope we learn a lot more in the books to come.
Overall, Hidden Wings is a great beginning to series and I’m looking forward to Broken Wings, the next book since the ending was definitely a cliffhanger :)This review was originally posted on Reading With ABC
