I was a wolf. An honest to God, wolf shifter. How cool was that!?! The problem? I was a latent, which meant that I had to learn how to make my wolf surface. Oh, and apparently latent wolves were rare. Especially white ones. And the Shifter High Council was none too happy to learn about my existence.
I was starting college. A new beginning. Cade, my kind of wolf shifter boyfriend, was off to High Council Enforcer Training. For five years. If that wasn’t a test on your relationship, I don’t know what was.
Add to that a stalker wolf from another pack, meeting other shifters with their own agendas, and trying to stay under the High Council’s radar.
What could possibly go wrong?

Join Kendra as she continues her journey to discover her past, learn about her present, and transform the future…for all shifters.

I enjoy reading and writing about all kinds of fiction. The chance to immerse yourself into a story and feel like you are actually there, witnessing everything unfold, is fantastic. When I’m not cramming in time to write down a scene that has been playing out in my head, I volunteer with different groups that help out my community, spend time with family, and try to make a difference with my full-time job at a substance abuse agency.

I enjoy reading and creating stories about different time periods, paranormal, urban fantasy, time travel, contemporary, and science fiction. While most of these are a work in progress, I hope to have more for you in the future. I’m still learning every day about the writing process and have to remember that when it is all done, I FINALLY get to share the story with you.

This book has progressed so much since the first. I liked how Kendra wasn't biased to the inequalities surrounding her. The last two chapters were upsetting. Anxiously waiting for book 3

Where is book three??? Need it!

DYING FOR BOOK THREE! I'm not the type of person who likes to wait for books. I will buy the others in the series and then wait but for some reason I didnt check that all these were out. I loved book two so much! I lost sleep over this book!

I had given up hope of seeing this sequel....then out of curiosity looked up the author and was presented with this beauty!

Just when i thought we would never get this book it appeared! absolutely loved this book! I loved the light banter and humor mixed in with the darkness that kendra discovers her world to be dipped in and then back to light with her finding out jaw dropping revelations to heartache at the obstacles she faces with building or maintaining her relationship with cade. And that ending! My gawd! Please dont tell me we have to wait year or years for the next one please! Truly loved this! Brilliant!

Long and anticipated book

This was an highly anticipated book. I’ve waited for years for this second series and I never thought there would be one. Imagine my surprise when I checked back on the author’s page and noted this book. I enjoyed reading this book and noting Kendra’s independence. I thought the new non-wolf characters introduced into Kendra’s life had depth and I like their interactions. I wish the book was more lengthy, page wise. It felt rushed, all these event happening 4-5 weeks into her college experience? I thought Kendra should’ve piece together things quickly or at least think it through and not just easily accepting the event. I do like this series and will be waiting around for the next book release.

A Must Read !!!!!!!

I read the first book in the series a few years ago and fell totally in love with Kendra and Cade along with the whole McCoy pack.... I have waited ever so patiently (NOT lol) for the second book to come out and it did not disappoint.

Yelden creates a beautiful story full of characters that will make you giggle and fall in love with them. I cannot wait for the 3rd book to come out., and really hoping to not have to wait too long for the next one to come out.!

I need the 3rd book!! I need it, absolutely!! I was so lost in the world of both Hidden and Surfaced that when I came to the end, I was expecting to be able to jump right into the 3rd!! I need a release date to put in my calender, I usually lose interest in a series if its not all out and I can go through them, but this...I don't think will leave my mind for long..Definitely need an update on release and title soon!!

I’m still reading but I just had to say, I’ve been waiting on this book for years... so long, I started hoping TJ was okay! It is seldom I find a trilogy I HAVE to keep reading, and she has drawn me in. There are only two other series I’ve ever waited and regularly checked back for! 😍❤️

I’ll update when I’m done, but as far as I’m concerned, TJ has done it again. Love it, and love her!!! 🙌🏻

Hunter and Bree become lifemates. Kendra is still trying to contact her wolf and her friends help her. At least some good things are happening.

The High Council definitely establishes itself as a modern-day Gestapo. We find out just how strong their hatred is for non-wolf shifters and how far they will go to make sure no one challenges their power over all others. The Enforcers are an equivalent of the Nazi SS and just as bad, if not worse, we find out latents are usually murdered when they are still very young.

There's a gala she has to attend (by orders of the High Council) and even more bad news that she has to deal with. Then there's a rescue mission she and the others embark upon, a rescue mission that will establish a major life change for Kendra.

A very, very dark addition to the series but also a very, very good addition.

Ended well, but with a cliffhanger

What I did like was finding out about other shapeshifters, and about Kendra’s family. I like the concept of lifemate and that your lifemate could be with anyone in the shifter community. In other words, mixed couples like in today’s real world. What I didn’t like was the the lack of Kendra and Cade which is what kept me wanting to read book 2. I understand with the way the story is told that Kendra is important and has important things to do, but the lack of their relationship turned me off. Of course there’s more of them in the last 2 or 3 chapters where things get more interesting.

Honestly, if I had known there was another book that has yet to be released, I would have waited. There is no way of finding out when the next book will come out either, which I find disappointing. Hopefully I won’t lose interest.

Okay! That was a vast improvement over Book 1! Congrats seriously deserved. Much more creative, not Twilight Redux, interesting new cast of characters. If you were looking for a romance reprisal from Cade and Kendra, it’s not really there. They’re separated for most of the book, but I think it made for a better story anyway. The editing problems from Book 1 seem even worse in Book 2 (typos, wrong homonyms, bad grammar…) but as stories go, this one was good. It did have what is probably the worst instance of instalove I’ve ever seen in a book, but it wasn’t a central pillar for the story, so I’ll overlook that (mostly).

Anxiously awaiting book 3

Had I known when I started the Hidden series that Book 3 has not been released, I would have waited to consume these. Lesson learned. Now I must wait and wonder when the 3rd book will come out and how it will unfold. The series is a great read that I lost sleep over...mainly because I was up all night reading. My only advice, is unless you want to be stuck with a cliffhanger ending for who knows how long, wait until the 3rd book comes out and then digest them quickly.

As the title suggests the wolf finally surfaces along with many puzzle pieces. Unsolved mysteries slide into place and still more are lurking in the shadows. Ghosts from Kendra's past rear there heads and allow more puzzling questions to remain unsolved.
There were a few f-bombs that were unnecessary and a major grammatical error. " I should have gone with the...dress NOT I should have WENT! " UGH! These things lowered a good rating. Yes I am a grammar snob.

Good Young Adult Read

Kendra and Cade are the main characters. This book is about their developing relationship and Kendra finding her wolf. I was disappointed that there were a few F words near the end. Would have preferred not to have to read them. Ends on a cliffhanger. I try not to read books until the series is complete. Have to follow the author to read the rest of the series. Hope I don’t forget between books.

Hmm.

Thankfully I didn't have to wait to read part 2 like many others have.

Honestly, this book was OK - the odd spelling/grammar mistake. It's a bit too slow a burner for me.
It got to the point where I stopped wanting to read, but annoyingly had to find out how the book ended. Meaning I could put it down to do something else without being annoued - being able to do that meant I wasn't 100% into the story.

Waiting for part 3

I am so in love with Cade and Kendra..
Ian and Cassie also Bree, all of the pack..
Tanner is a hoot for a 7 year old..
I just hope I don't have to wait a year for part 3...
Awesome book I enjoyed book 2 just as much as 1...
Must read...if you are a shifter lover you will highly appreciate this trilogy...
It is definitely different from most shifter books...but so worth the time and effort to read...

Absolutely enthralled with this series... love the character development and am very curious to see where the story ends up. I'm a little concerned, though, because there were 4 years between book #1 and book #2.. book #2 has been out since 2019, and the author has no website or social media that I've been able to find... if anyone knows if there's any updates or any idea when book #3 may come out, I'd love to know!

I really liked this book there were some parts that I felt like were going in circles but I did love the characters and storyline the one thing that really bothers me is this author has zero social media or web pages if she does I can’t find them. So we have no updates on upcoming books or info. Don’t even know how she promotes her books.

Ugh

I have been waiting for this book for a long time, I actually gave up hope of it ever happening. I stumbled on it and was SO excited that book two finally came out. It was so much better than I could have ver hoped for and I can’t wait for book 3. Hopefully it’s not as long as book two, but if it is it will be worth the wait just like book 2 was.

I NEED book 3!!!! PLEASE!!! I found the first book on kindle. Day 1, book 1 finished. Day 2, book 2 finished! Hated taking breaks. Didn’t want to put the book down. Was DEVASTATED when I couldn’t find the book 3! Great shifter series. Lots of action with a few twists. Loved all the characters! Highly recommend!

Giving the author a ZERO. I've read book 1 and book 2 but wont be bothering to wait around again. It took 4 years for book 2 to come out. God knows how long we will be waiting for book 3. I think its disgraceful when an author doesnt inform their readers of a release date or even publically advertise the next book. Dont bother writing a trilogy again....its obviously not your forte.

Amazing book

I'm terrible at writing reviews, but this series is absolutely amazing. I'm sorry I'm making short and sweet. You need to read this series. You will not regret it. Now the bad part is waiting for the next book to come out.

Great Ride

I love a great paranormal love story that explores human conflicts. T.J. Golden delivers in the first two books of the Hidden Trilogy. My only complaint is that it takes too long in between books. I hope book 3 comes soon.

Addictive

When an author can can tell a story which sucks you into a world of words enough to have you tearing up when your favourite characters hit a rock in their tale. I'd say its worth reading the entire series.
