"There is nothing creepier than an abandoned amusement park, especially when Kiersten White is writing about it. This book held me captive; I couldn't put it down."--Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author of For Your Own Good
"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 "Haunting, startling, unrelenting, and unexpectedly heartbreaking, Hide draws you inexorably in among the thorns and rust, where the monsters are both intimately familiar and horrifyingly unfathomable."--Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of The Violence
"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 on to this book with bloodless knuckles, and I adored every spine-chilling second."--Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Accidents "White pulls no punches in this brilliantly executed thrill ride. Every twist and turn horrified and delighted me in equal measure."--Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows
"This book will live in your head rent-free. When I wasn't reading Hide, I was thinking about it--it's one of those rare books that twists itself into your consciousness. Kiersten White has outdone herself."--Victoria Lee, author of A Lesson in Vengeance
"A marvelously creepy thrill ride of a book that keeps twisting until the very end."--Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling 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 "An enthralling, high-energy thriller grounded in supernatural horror . . . White skillfully balances the terrifying solo experiences of individual characters, the tense group dynamics, and the park's backstory to create a constantly shifting narrative backed by a growing sense of dread. With this exhilarating outing, White proves she has a finger on the pulse of millennial horror."--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

I just finished this absolutely masterfully written book by the incomparable Kiersten White. Fourteen people go in, how many will make it out? Fourteen people that seemingly have no one, that are willing to do something that seems crazy just for a chance at a fresh start, and that fresh start means many different things to these people. Through twists and turns that rival a roller coaster we find out about our Fourteen, come to care about them, and watch what happens with (in my experience at least) wide eyed terror. I devoured this book (no pun intended) I read the first page and knew it would be a crazy ride, ten pages in and I was hooked. Mack is exactly the kind of character I needed in my life right now, she survives, she lives with guilt, she feels hopeless at times, but she tries, and through that we see a complex character that becomes open to the idea of letting go of the past and becoming the person she never thought she could be. Ava (Mack's Ava) is a take no prisoners (well yeah, there was that one prisoner) kind of character that you place all your bets on and aren't disappointed. LeGrand broke my heart and the put it back together again. He goes to show that having a trauma in your life doesn't look the same for everyone but that doesn't mean you wouldn't do anything, sacrifice everything for the chance to fix either a situation or yourself. I'm afraid if I go any further there will be serious spoilers and I want everyone that reads this book (seriously everyone should read this) to have the same experience I did. I'll leave it with I love, seriously Love This Book.
Fans of The Hunger Games WIll LOVE This!

I have only one question......When does this come to Netflix?! I absolutely, positively, loved this book! From the first page I couldn't help but see the whole thing movie style and I just kept thinking that this book is the next Hunger Games. It has the same dark underbelly vibe while managing to stay appropriate for YA. I thought the premise constructed to explain how people ended up in this contest was solid. The characters were real and fleshed out well enough to keep them straight without being overly descriptive and boring. For some reason I liked the way she wrote that there were two different Ava's and how she described each of them so distinctly. There were one or two things I thought were weird once it's put into context with what's going on. For example, why specifically two a day'? It made sense based on the original idea of what was happening, but not after you find out the end game. I kept waiting for there to be some reason for that, but it never really came through. Still, this book was exceptional! I almost wish that the plot wasn't resolved so there could be more installations.
