I’m the Princess of the Doomsday Sinners MC.

Indulged.

Shallow.

The most popular girl in school.

My name is Nova Stubbs and all of those words have been used to describe me, they define me. Or at least that’s what people think.

No-one except my family ever bothered to look past the mask I wear, the role I play. Because this is what they want me to be, who they expect.

If they looked a little deeper they’d see the crumbling mess I am.

I care too much and hate who I pretend to be. My mind is too loud and it consumes me. Staying hidden is the only way I survive.

Then Valentine Miller steps into my world.

He hates me. He manipulates me and controls me. But when I’m with him he makes the world quiet.

Love. Hate. Need. Want. I feel them all when he touches me.

Valentine wants to ruin me and I might let him.

Gemma Weir, CONGRATULATIONS! You've done a stunningly beautiful job with Hidden!

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019

This wonderfully horrible story will take you inside a young adult mind of the heroine, Nova, filled with mental turmoil and emotional anguish. This, resulting from her self-imposed facade of haughty, cold-hearted bitchiness that she wears like armor to hide who she really is. Add in, Valentine, the darkly brooding, hot bully and his desire to manipulate, control, and tear down her high, fragile walls. Then, you have the makings of a spectacularly angsty work of art. Readers, THAT is what Gemma Weir and her beautiful, damaged characters give to all of us with Hidden.

Gemma Weir's magnificent talent with words takes us away, into the darker side of living with mental illness: The swirling, amplifying voices and questions of self-doubt and fear; the stifling, debilitating pain of anxiety and panic; the struggle of constantly battling for peace and hanging on to sanity by a tiny thread.

Her beautifully crafted scenes had me swinging from love and happiness...to worry and confusion...then to anger and hate...back to happiness again! And I loved every minute of it! I cannot wait to get my hands, eyes, and heart on the second book in this duet, Found...Thank God and Gemma that I won't have a long wait!

Gemma, my lovely, beautiful friend, I thank you for all you do for me and I thank you for being you and sharing your gifts.

Darker then the first series

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2023

This series seems to have decided that black wasn’t dark enough and painted it darker then the heart of most politicians. The vibes this gives off is like all the trauma that Liv went through in the first book became a person and is trying to have history repeat on her daughter.

Nova is hiding who she really is. Nova's brother Zeke tries to protect her, he wants her to talk to their mother. But then she is taunted by a bully (Valentine). Can Nova loose everything, because of one person's selfishness? You will have to read! Love it!

I’m torn between 3 or 4 stars so 3.5?

So…..this book is very different. Not the typical bully romance books that I read and for that matter I don’t want to score it low because someone else might just love it. There was a lot of mental anguish in this book which I had to skim through. And you don’t hear from the MMC until the last chapter which ends with a cliffhanger so of course I have to read the next book.
Would I re-read this book? No
Would I recommend this book? No
Will I read the next in the series ? Yes.

Nova and Valentine

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019

Oh my goodness!! This author takes you on an emotional roller coaster with this story. The story is heartbreaking at times you just want to wrap them up and give them hugs. You can feel Nova’s every emotion from practically the first page. The club Princess, Nova, hides her pain behind a mask but when a bad boy foster kid shows up her mask begins to slip. Will she show her true self without the mask to Valentine? I can’t wait to read Found, the next installment of this series!! I highly recommend this book!

Pulled me in from the start and had me entranced all the way to the end!

Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019

The next generation is here! The Doomsday Sinners young ones are growing up and Princess Nova is off to high school. Her nemesis appears in the form of a swoon worthy mean boy, Valentine. He's a foster kid with a chip on his shoulder and decides his target is Nova. These YA stories are my guilty pleasure at my age and paired with a MC background I'm all in. Plus I love the bulling/hate romance theme in the story. This is different from the usual from this author but it's no less compelling and she gives us fantastic characters to cheer for. We get glimpses of some of our favorites from the previous MC stories along with this new generation. Terrific writing and awesome characters along with an enthralling storyline makes this a must read. Can't wait to dig into the next installment. Loved it! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC.

The girl who isn’t who she appears to be and the mean boy who sees her. I mean is there any better love story? Well kind of love story..... ok. It’s just a story, but it’s pretty good. This family loves with their whole being(and that’s a lot).
Nova struggles with common teenage angst, but also a little bit more and I really was along for the ride.
And then Valentine, and his issues. They could be a match made in heaven, but it’s probably forged in hell.

This is such a heavy and relatable book like it's done so beautifully dealing with some heavy issues many young adult might face. The emotional aspect is balanced with hot 🔥 moments making it a perfect fast read.

A fantastic start to what I hope will be more than a duet

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 4, 2019

To say that this is a bully romance would be wrong because it was so much more than that.
This story is about anxiety, confusion, and love and in writing this story, Gemma Weir has done some of her best work to date. In the acknowledgments, she says that is a very personal book to her and that is obvious in the way the words reach inside your heart and your gut and twist them so that you not only understand Nova, but you feel the same anxiety and confusion which she feels all the time.
“I hate that I’m the only person pretending.”
“Are they staring? Are they talking about me? Do they know who I am?”
I loved Nova, particularly as she’s different than the usual ‘high school queen bee’ that is often depicted in this genre of book. Despite being the ‘princess’ of the Doomsday Sinners MC (Archers Creek Series), she is a sweet, family loving girl who is just as confused as every other teenager who she goes to school with and the way that Valentine is able to manipulate her is proof that she’s not as strong as she and her family think and expect her to be. She has amazing parents who adore her, but she’s able to switch personas so adeptly that they, apart from her brother, have no idea was she’s going through – a strength and a flaw in her character which can only become her downfall. I found myself willing for her to ask for help or for someone to look beyond her façade and help her - pull her out of the make-believe that she has created and let her be her. My worry for Nova, along with the emotion I felt in a scene with her mum, who clearly adores her, is a testament to Gemma’s writing in this book, it simply draws everything from you and makes your heartache a little.
“This girl, this f*cking girl, she’s haunted me from the moment I laid eyes on her and all I’ve done is torture her, bully and manipulate her…”
Then there is Valentine and I’m not sure how I feel about him and I kind of think that might be how Gemma wants us to feel about her hero. We only get to hear his POV briefly, but it’s enough to show us that he is broken in some way – he’s also in the fostering system, so we know he has a story. As far as he is concerned, the ‘bully’ is being bullied and that’s how he justifies his actions but it isn’t until it’s too late that he sees Nova for what she really is – a confused, anxious teenage girl trying to fit in just like everyone else. I’m torn about him because apart from the fact he appears to be likeable and funny to everyone else, he’s mean and manipulative, bordering on abusive with Nova. Yet somehow I didn’t hate him, I can’t say I liked him much, but I understood his need to be that way. Also, he appears to be the one person who can calm Nova’s anxiety and quieten the voices in her head – in some ways he’s that person who I wanted to see through her façade. He does redeem himself at the end, and I liked that we were left until then to see a better side to him as it adds to the tension of the story.
This is emotive, heartbreaking read is a definite 5 stars from me and I can’t wait for book 2

Absolutely brilliant!!!! Loved it!!!!

When you start a book without knowing what to expect and it absolutely blows your mind - THIS!!! Hidden is totally different from Gemma's other books (you can read this without reading her other books) but thats what makes it sooooo good, I think its my favourite yet. Be warned though - this book comes with one hell of an ending that had me screaming at ny Kindle in disbelief!!!

Nova is the daughter of the president local motorcycle club. Shes up there on a pedestal, all eyes are on her, more so by Nova herself. The result is crippling anxiety that I felt in every word on the page. Valentine - I have never wanted to jump in a book and slap a character more than this guy, he's your stereotypical troubled teen to a tee, but he's also Nova's worse nightmare. It all comes together in a story you just can't put down!!! So excited for Found now.

Kinda gutted I could only give this 5 stars, it deserves way more, well done Gemma!!!! Get this on your TBR now!

I need more more more!

This book is 99p for pre-order (I reserved my copy), however, I was then lucky enough to receive an ARC. I’ve read a few books of Gemma Weir’s books and I like her alpha male style. This one is a little different as the characters are younger than our usual rodeo, but this one fell into my favourite genre which had me all excited. This is a Bully/ Hate romance which I’m a huge fan of.

Hidden has links to the MC series by this author, however, it can easily be read as a standalone. Nova is the daughter of the Vice President of the Doomsday Sinners. She and her brother rule the school. The new boy, Valentine is about to stir things up for our princess.

It’s hot, it’s ugly and all kinds of messed up. This book is executed well and leaves you wanting more of
The series.

5 stars out of 5. This is my kind of book.

*I received an ARC however I’ve ordered my forever copy. My review is my own thoughts.

Just perfect

So this book is completely different from the others written by Gemma.

When I first read the premise for the book I was a little unsure as it’s not my usual type of book and Echo is one of my favourite so this being about his and Livs daughter I didn’t want it to ruin the idea I had in my head of them.

I really should of known better. Gemma has never let me down before and she definitely didn’t let me down this time either. Clearly Gemma can write anything she puts her mind to.

I experienced so many emotions reading Hidden. I was sad, reflective, angry and at one point ready to commit murder.
But the book also keeps you guessing and just when you think you have a character figured out, they do something to change your point of view slightly or look at something from a different angle.

Yes it finishes at a cliffhanger that actually made me swear and growl out loud!!!!!

But that just makes me want book 2 found even more!!!
