INDIE BOOK REVIEWERS


1. I’m a huge fan of psychological thrillers/suspense and mystery and read them all the time. Unfortunately, after a while many of them start to feel the same, like many authors (especially new ones) are using the same recycled plot over and over again. But I thought the description for “Hiding” from Jenny Morton Potts seemed intriguing, (and different) and it had a ton of great reviews… so I was curious to see how it would measure up, but I admit to not having the highest of expectations. Much to my amazement I finished almost all of it in one sitting. It was really good! Ms. Potts is a natural writer, and I was hooked right off the bat by the way she weaved so many interesting characters and twisted storylines together to create an original, addicting story that I couldn’t put down until the final (shocking/cliffhangerish) conclusion. It was paced well, even though it took me some time to get the hang of the different narrative POVS and timing (it changes from Keller and Rebecca’s perspectives a lot in the beginning) and it’s almost like watching a puzzle start falling into place, but in very unexpected ways. Very authentic dialogue that really gave the characters unique personalities, and free from many clichés that riddle this genre. I was curious about what the connections were and how it would all play out, and let’s just say I didn’t guess correctly – which is good! Some language and adultish content but nothing too extreme. I suspect there will be a lot of mixed feelings on that ending, but I for one thought it was more powerful that way. Hope there is more to come.

2. “Hiding” by Jenny Morton Potts grabbed me from the opening pages and didn’t let go until the very end. It is rare to find a book that keeps my attention all the way through, but this one did. I was totally caught up in the whirlwind of events (almost too many at times with the back and forth and time jumps), but it makes sense soon enough. Loved the fact that this book covers not only a long period of time through Rebecca (and her siblings’) lives, but also takes place in different countries & continents giving it a bigger, more ‘epic’ feel. Also, I am pleased with the way that the story unfolded as nothing lights my fire more than deception and shocking, unpredictable twists…and “Hiding” did not disappoint! If I had only one minor problem was that it was a tad hard to follow at some parts and there were a lot of characters – some we knew better than others (the main cast was very well done). There were bouts of too much narrative ‘telling’ and I thought some key events or revelations were almost glossed over and lost some emotional impact. But it fairly well edited (only a few proofing things here and there) and I literally could not put it down during the last 30% or so and was happy with the ending, but frustrated as well. Bittersweet in a way. Is there a follow-up? If so I’d love to read it! Recommend to fans of the suspense/ thriller genre…heck, for anyone who just enjoys a great, intelligently-written, and exciting read!

3. I found myself wavering around a bit while reading “Hiding” by Jenny Morton Potts. At first, I was immediately interested in the story as Potts wastes no time in setting the tone for the book, and became immersed in the interesting world building and complex plot development-- one that places two very different people at different times in their lives, and we see how their
fates are entwined in very unexpected ways. Both Keller and Rebecca have experienced their share of tragedy – Rebecca’s parents died in a car crash when she was very young, and Keller (almost) watched his own father be executed…But there were times I felt the story wasn’t as focused as I’d like, with some conversations and scenes maybe weren’t necessary and perhaps could have been eliminated to tighten the narrative some. But at the same time, the pacing was fairly steady, and there was pretty much nonstop action and some crazy developments throughout and especially toward the end. It felt unique and unpredictable, always a nice experience, especially in a genre that is fraught with derivative copycats. I really enjoyed Ms. Potts’s narrative voice, and was surprised with the ending (but satisfied). I enjoyed the characters as well, but some of the dialogue seemed unnecessary (like small talk/ chit chat). But overall was an interesting and entertaining book and I would certainly like to read more from Potts in the future. (3.5 stars) Essie Harmon— Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers
4. The whole time I was reading “Hiding” by Jenny Morton Potts I felt like I could have been watching it as a movie on the big screen. This novel was just as good as—if not better—many of the other “big name authors” I’ve read in this genre, like recently “The Girl on the Train” and “Gone Girl”… they all have that darkly haunting vibe that just pulls you in as it creeps along and gets under your skin. And then the rug gets pulled out from beneath you more than once. The writing was clear and descriptive, with an ever-present tension of high stakes and drama that continued to mount almost to the point of being uncomfortable to read… I liked that the characters seemed “real” (not the stereotypical cardboard cutouts we see so much of in these types of books), and the dialogue felt authentic enough – although there are bouts of narrative telling and character info-dump which is a pet peeve of mine in books. At times the alternating POVS/locales and times almost made me dizzy, but in a good way. I definitely enjoyed reading this and think almost anyone will find something about it they like. Great characters (even the bad ones… which aren’t who you expect!) Some adult language and scenes, but suitable for mature teens and older. I’d recommend this to my friends and family with no reservations. Looking forward to more books by Jenny Morton Potts! (4.5 stars) Karen Matthews— Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers


5. “Hiding” wouldn’t be my normal type of read (I’m more of a fantasy and romance gal) but I’ve been wanting to read more out of my comfort zone lately and expand my tastes… the premise and sample looked pretty cool (and has some great reviews!) so I thought I’d give it a chance. I’d so glad I did! It was far more exciting than I would’ve guessed, and I found myself flipping the pages as fast as I could to see what would happen. I was totally wrapped up in the drama and liked the scenes with Rebecca and Keller once they meet (crazy!!!) and Austen and Collette, even Jane Rourke and the others…. I really felt like I was part of the whole experience, from the very beginning. There were some really shocking twists that you *definitely* don’t expect with the characters, and I liked how everything came full circle at the end, it was weirdly bittersweet and leaves you wanting more. This was a quick read with lots of great character development and surprising twists and turns, but also the writing itself was quite lovely – very descriptive and atmospheric (and very clean editing for the most part). I think that Jenny Morton Potts has made a suspense/ thriller-novel fan out of me! Best suited for ages 17+ (4-5 stars) Jenna Brewster— Goodreads; Barnes & Noble; Indie Book Reviewers

7. “Hiding” By Jenny Morton Potts was awesome! I haven’t read anything like that in a long time, if ever. For once it seemed like the characters were anything but the stock, ordinary typical hero/heroine, but instead all had personal demons, tragic histories, family secrets, and I thought the whole time/location shifting narratives angle was pretty cool too, even if at first I was a little lost. As I was reading it was really easy to imagine myself in the story with these characters and it was creepy and dark and disturbing (in a good way) and fun!! There are some things that happen that you REALLY don’t expect to happen to a main character, and I wasn’t sure how everything would come together in the end… I have some mixed feelings on it, but I think it works. Several interweaving plotlines are always at play here, and I was wondering how the author would wrap it all up, but in the end it all came together to create a fresh-feeling novel that was out of the ordinary and kept me totally hooked throughout. This is a great addition to the genre and if Ms. Potts writes any more like this, I’ll be read
