Hide
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A high-stakes hide-and-seek competition turns deadly in this “marvelously creepy thrill ride of a book that keeps twisting until the very end” (Karen M. McManus, author of One of Us Is Lying)
“The suspenseful plot combines elements of Thomas Tryon’s classic Harvest Home, Netflix’s Squid Game, and the social commentary of Jordan Peele’s film oeuvre and mixes these with a revelatory pacing reminiscent of Spielberg’s Jaws.”—Booklist
The challenge: Spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park and don’t get caught.
The prize: enough money to change everything.
Even though everyone is desperate to win—to seize a dream future or escape a haunting past—Mack is sure she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she’s an expert at that.
It’s the reason she’s alive and her family isn’t.
But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack realizes that this competition is even more sinister than she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.
Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide but nowhere to run.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Oh boy, I was waiting for this one!
I discovered Kiersten White with her two excellent books in the "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" universe: "Slayer" and "Chosen" so I was excited when I heard Kiersten White would be releasing her first adult novel which I had the great pleasure to receive in advance.
Is it adult? Yes...... BUT it takes place in a abandoned amusement park with a cast of 14 characters who play a game of hide-and-seek with the chance to win $50k. But this is Kiersten White so things are not as simple as it seems. The horror starts and it's The Hunger Games all over again.,
Do I give it five stars? I don't think I can because honestly I thought there were too many characters to keep track of. I liked the main character, Mack, who plays this game with nothing to lose but I felt it got bogged down a bit. It also may be a little too political in places?
But, that aside this was a solid thriller and another excellent book by Kiersten White.

SO GOOD!! I love the unreliable narrator and each character is so well portrayed. Ending was amazing even though it’s a cliffhanger. Did very well to make me confused about who was still alive. Predictable in a fun way and unpredictable plot twists that come out of no where. 9999/10
-1 for killing off my favorite character >:’[
Thoroughly entertaining, but has an ending that felt far too rushed, leaving little resolution and more questions to be answered.
