Description

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.

    This book grabbed me by the neck and did not let go. It’s no even funny how good Hide was. I kept asking- no- BEGGING my friends to read it so I could fan over it with giving spoilers. Once you start the book, you, along with the main character, know that you have to see it to the end. Something is happening- and it’s bigger than you know. Even if you don’t like the book at first, just read it to the end! I don’t even know why I’m asking- I doubt you can put it down once you start it anyways.

    Excellent up to the last page! Truly gripping. Well done, beautifully executed ending.
  • Boring proselytizing

    What a pointless book. I wish I could get my money back. The author has no concept of “show, don’t tell.” At all. The reader isn’t trusted to come to a single conclusion in the entire book. The ending was abrupt and unsatisfactory. The text and what passes for “character development” is crammed full of unnecessary political dreck so “of its time” that I predict it will be nigh unreadable in only a few years. If it ever WAS readable to begin with. The author was obviously the victim of too much praise as a child, as evidenced by her sophomoric writing style that would be more at home in a 7th grade English class than a professional author’s repertoire. Total waste of money.
