About this ebook
A phone call from a soon-to-be-deceased ex-boyfriend launches a young woman on a bizarre road trip to a dark supernatural world hidden beneath America’s heartland in this remarkably imaginative debut novel from an electrifying new voice in contemporary fantasy. With Hidden Things, author Doyce Testerman immediately takes his place alongside Neil Gaiman, Kim Harrison, and Melissa Marr by viewing modern-day America through a glass darkly and transforming our mundane world into a place where unseen monsters and paranormal beings have long inhabited the shadows. Among the Hidden Things in Testerman’s exceptional first novel are goblins, dragons, a road-weary clown, and creatures that have never been categorized, joining a smart, tough, courageous female protagonist on a wild cross-country thrill ride that readers will never forget.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best books I've read in years! Generally about a chapter or two into a book I've already got the plot and the rest is a bore, this kept me guessing until the end.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I have never really felt compelled to write a review but this book made me so mad I have to say something. I still have no idea what the book was really about and I have never in my life read so many incomplete sentences! So many conversations or thoughts that just trailed off in ..... or -. Worst book I have read in a very long time and I read a great amount of books. Don't waste your time on this one!!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Interesting story greatly undermined by Testerman's uneven dialog writing skills and apparent lack of planning for sub-plots - many sub-plots remain open and unanswered at the conclusion. Much of the dialog consists of one-word broken phrases and interruptions that break up the flow of the story telling, and indeed, become an exercise in frustration to read. This is unfortunate, since the premise holds so much promise.
