This was a suspense filled book. It had great reference of the use of Christian faith when someone goes through difficulties in their life.

Hidden Motives or as I know it The Crystal Caverns is one of my favorites. I can't help but reread it again and again. With so many twists and turns it keeps my attention from beggining to end. Hannah Alexander keeps you wondering through out the whole story.

This book has action, suspense, romance, plot twists and turns, and quite a few red herrings.

Hidden Motive is a great book. It is full of mystery, suspense, action and surprises. It is a page-turner !!! I didn't give it 5 Stars because, in my opinion, this book lacked romance a bit!

Didn't find this book as compelling as I'd hoped. A new author for me,so I'll try another one of their books. This book just didn't keep my attention as I'd hoped. It had a good plot, but just didn't deliver as I'd hoped.
