Review
“Stokes makes the landscape an integral part of the story. Characters, even minor ones, are well developed, as are the subplots. With overtones of Lois Duncan’s I Know What You Did Last Summer (1973), this has the OMG quality that makes you afraid to wonder what will happen next.” (Booklist (starred review))“A character-driven mystery perfect for fans of Sarah Dessen and Deb Caletti.” (School Library Journal)“Intriguing mystery.” (Kirkus Reviews)“The twisty thriller is an enjoyable ride. The nail-biting conclusion includes a shocking surprise; readers will likely gasp when the identity of “Unknown” is revealed.” (Publishers Weekly)

Embry and Holden, not her boyfriend, hook up at an abandoned hotel, accidentally setting it ablaze. They were not alone. Someone videoed their encounter and sends Embry threatening messages. Escalating threats make finding the blackmailer essential, before somebody ends up dead.I haven’t read a thriller recently that left me holding my breath, clenching my fists and shake in a very long time. Most thrillers are more mystery than thrilling. Paula Stokes did such a great job escalating tension from the first blackmail letter to the reveal of the culprit. HIDDEN PIECES never dipped in intensity. The mystery aspect of the story had many plausible suspects, one who was the actual perp.Embry is sympathetic and complex. She cheats on her overseas boyfriend, afraid to break up with him, lies to friends and her mom and makes some stupid, but understandable decisions. Most of all, she doesn’t want to let people down or lose relationships. I adored Holden, who was also no stranger to terrible choices.Family, class, commitment and friendship are at the heart of HIDDEN PIECES. I would have read the book in one sitting, but reluctantly had to go out for a bit. HIDDEN PIECES is a slow burn that will keep you guessing until the very end. My heart is still thumping.
I really liked this. I wasn't a huge fan of the main character but I loved the setting and the story. An event (or events, depending on how you look at it) sets off a chain of blackmail texts to our main character. She is tasked with certain things, most of them containing a certain level of danger involved with threats to people she loves.We spend much of the novel trying to figure out who the blackmailer is and what their reasons are. This is where thrillers often let me down because one of two things happen: the reveal of the perp is way too predicable OR the author takes a last ditch effort and just throws something random in that does not connect to the story. NEITHER of these are the case with Hidden Pieces and I am so glad. There were a few suspicious characters with various possible motives, so it wasn't entirely predicable. And the author pulled a conclusion from her story. I've had good luck with Paula Stokes and can't wait to see her next offering!
This was such a good YA thriller and mystery. I don’t find too many well written and thought out thrillers in YA and this one was both of those things. The characters were relatable and well fleshed out. They felt like teens which sometimes when I read YA the characters don’t come across as actual teens even if that’s what the author is intending, but Paula made me believe I was reading about teens with what they did and said. It all felt very authentic to the teenage experience. I loved the setting and descriptions of the area because it really connected me to the story and made me visualize it as I was reading. I did suspect who did the blackmailing but through the course of the book I began to doubt myself and even though who I thought did it did do it, how it was revealed and the why were surprises for me. I loved the book and highly recommend it!
Embry is not a good person. After deciding to put her relationship with her boyfriend Luke on hold, she decided to hook up with Holden. But there’s a problem: Holden was dating Embry’s best friend Julia at the time. While Holden did break up with her, Embry still hasn’t admitted to Julia that she was the person that Holden hooked up with–nor has she stopped.After Embry’s and Holden’s misadventure results in setting the Sea Cliff Inn on fire by accident, she suddenly finds herself thrust into small town fame after she ran back into the hotel to save a homeless man. No one knows that she’s responsible for the fire.Until the letter comes demanding that she either admit to everything that happened on Facebook or the person will ruin the life of someone that she cares about.Embry chooses the second option. And what ensues is a dangerous game of lies and putting those she loves into danger to keep the secret hidden.This was an excellent YA thriller. I’ve heard some other people complain that it was obvious to them who was behind the letter and messages, but honestly, I had no idea until the very end. And even if so, I still think there’s fun within the journey anyway.Additionally, I thought that this had a very realistic portrayal of poverty. For example, Embry’s family (just her mom) could only afford to live in that town because the mortgage had been significantly paid off when they inherited the house. They struggle to pay bills. There’s a tension that comes from knowing that her friend Julia can simply buy what she wants while Embry cannot. At one point, Embry does not want to go the hospital when she should because it would be just another bill that her family would be in debt for. There’s not a lot of YA books that feature characters like this, and I think this may be the actual first one that I remember that specifically mentions that a character gets free breakfast and lunch at school.Definitely a worthwhile read.
