El Escondite / Hide - by Kiersten White (Paperback)

About the Book

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 future or escape their haunting past - 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 realises this competition is more sinster than even she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.

Book Synopsis

«Una trama de suspense que combina elementos de El juego del calamar de Netflix con un ritmo que nos recuerda a Tiburón de Spielberg». -Booklist

El desafío: esconderse durante una semana en un parque de atracciones abandonado y que no te pillen. El premio: dinero suficiente para cambiar tu vida y la de tus seres queridos. Todos los concursantes están desesperados por ganar, conseguir huir del pasado y hacerse con un futuro de ensueño. Pero Mack está convencida de que puede ganarles a todos. Solo tendrá que esconderse. Y en esto es una experta. Por eso ella está viva y su familia no. Sin embargo, cuando los participantes empiezan a desaparecer uno tras otro, Mack se da cuenta de que la disputa es aún más siniestra de lo que había imaginado, y que la única forma de sobrevivir es aunando fuerzas con algunos de sus compañeros. Catorce competidores. Siete días. Un parque de atracciones entero para esconderse, pero ninguna vía de escape.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A high-stakes hide-and-seek competition turns deadly in this dark supernatural thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White.

"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
