A high-stakes hide-and-seek competition turns deadly in this dark supernatural thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White, perfect for fans of Stephen King and SQUID GAME.
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 their dream futures or escape their haunting pasts - Mack feels sure that 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 this competition is more sinister than even 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.

Product description
Review
There is nothing creepier than an abandoned amusement park, especially when Kiersten White is writing about it. Each character is astonishingly real and the pacing is spot-on. This book held me captive, I couldn't put it down. ― Samantha Downing, Internationally Bestselling author of My Lovely Wife
Equal parts hell-ride thriller and American fable, Kiersten White's HIDE runs you through a sinister child's game set in a nightmare amusement park, and it does so with gleeful, fiendish delight. I hung onto this book with bloodless knuckles, and I adored every spine-chilling second ― Chuck Wendig, Sunday Times bestselling author
Hide is a claustrophobic thriller choked with weeds, rust, and rot. The game here is not what it seems. The hunt is swift and merciless, and the fear is primal and bestial. Don't pick up this book unless you have time to read it all in one anxious sitting. ― Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of There’s Someone Inside Your House
An enthralling, high-energy thriller . . . White proves she has a finger on the pulse of millennial horror. ― Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Despite the premise, this was more than just a gory fright-fest though, it was a brilliantly crafted character-driven book, and White does a fantastic job at creating a whole host of seemingly disparate characters - all with a common goal - and gradually drawing out their pasts. Whilst some were more likeable than others, they each had their rationales for taking part in the competition.
Split into day-by-day chapters, the tension ramps up as the competitors begin to find out more about the game, why they might be there and who or what might be hunting them. But the book is as much about the characters searching within themselves for hidden strengths as it is finding out who may or may not survive the competition.
After the initial setting-the-scene, this was a fast-paced, real heart-in-the-mouth thriller, with a supernatural element. It was really creepy and has already been living in my head since I finished it. In fact, I had a dream about it last night 😱
I absolutely loved this book. If you're a fan of thrillers, horrors, the supernatural, or just well-written character-driven books I would highly recommend it.
Wow is all I can say about this book! Hunger Games has absolutely nothing on this but saying that if you love the Hunger Games you’ll adore this book.
I emphasised with Mack right from the beginning as she’s suffered terrific loss and terror (I’m glad Mack became friends with Ava ( reluctantly ) so she wasn’t alone like she’s always been) and she took the opportunity to be in the competition to win the £50k so she could leave the shelter and maybe start a new life somewhere else but it didn’t sound good to begin with, a game of hide and seek in a huge abandoned theme park in the middle of nowhere with no phone signal.
I enjoyed each characters back story and loved how you learned more about them every few pages , it kept you on your toes and engaged in the book wanting to to find out more.
All in all the story is very chilling and you can actually feel yourself in the abandoned park as you wait with the others all day in your hiding spot and hope your don’t get found!

I absolutely loved this book. Firstly, the premise of a high-stakes hide-and-seek competition really appealed to me, and was surprisingly plausible in the current age of reality TV. Secondly, Hide is really, really well written. The pacing is good and Mack is a very likable central character.
The one area where it lacked a little was in the split narration following all fourteen competitors. Fourteen is a lot of characters to try to keep track of, so this was a little confusing at times. Luckily, they start dropping like flies pretty early on, so the number of characters to follow cuts down quickly!
There’s also a supernatural twist which was right up my street.
There are a lot of characters at first in this book, but we hear from all of them at least once. The 14 contestants are from disparate background including media influencer, game designer, ex-military, failed author, even one who has been expelled from a religious cult. There's also the duplicitous Jaden who, along with Beautiful Ava, decides to cheat & try & get the other contestants caught out. Mack is a bit bland & I don't really have an opinion about her, but I liked Other Ava (there are two characters called Ava & the second one is referred to by the others as Beautiful Ava) who left the army after an accident left her badly injured, Brandon who is a sweet guy who lost his remaining family recently & has been struggling & just wants to make friends, & LeGrand who wants the money to get treatment for his critically ill sister.
I thought this would perhaps be a 'serial killer stalking the group' type thriller but the story is actually a little more involved than that. I'm not sure why abandoned places such as amusement parks hold such fascination for us, but they are reliably eerie places. There are a lot of deaths but a lot of them happen 'off screen', & I do think it could have been creepier & scarier. The first half is great but it seems to flag a little in the middle as I found my attention wandering a couple of times, which means I can't really award it top marks, so I rate this 4 stars - entertaining but not as creepy/scary as I had hoped.
My thanks to NetGalley & publishers, Random House UK/Cornerstone/Del Rey, for the opportunity to read an ARC. I am voluntarily giving an honest review.
