Going by Eternity Embraced, I&#8217;d guess that Larissa Ione does not write a lot of short fiction, because this was structured rather clumsily.

There is a mystery plot here, and while that is very deftly handled and provides a thrilling finale, it&#8217;s really only a secondary thread &#8211; what Hidden mainly is about is Elena and Clay and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=heloise2nd.wordpress.com&amp;blog=2544116&amp;post=1128&amp;subd=heloise2nd&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
