The opening sets up Mack’s creepy backstory, which drives her character throughout, and then you slowly meet the other competitors and watch as they begin the competition. The concept of the book is an obvious draw, with the setting a memorable one and hide-and-seek being a great horror concept. As she meets her fellow competitors, she knows she’s not there to make friends, but when it seems less of a fun competition and more of a fight for survival, Mack might have to work with other people if she wants to get out alive. Well, that, and she has a history of hiding. Mack has nothing, so when she has the chance to take part in a week-long game of hide and seek in an abandoned theme park to win prize money, she takes that opportunity. I hung onto this book with bloodless knuckles, and I adored every spine-chilling second.Hide is a horror novel about a game of hide and seek with very high stakes, set in an abandoned amusement park. '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. Don't pick up this book unless you have time to read it all in one anxious sitting.' - Stephanie Perkins The hunt is swift and merciless, and the fear is primal and bestial. 'Hide is a claustrophobic thriller choked with weeds, rust, and rot. 'A marvellously creepy thrill ride of a book that keeps twisting until the very end.' - Karen M McManus

Kiersten White has outdone herself.' - Victoria Lee When I wasn't reading Hide, I was thinking about it - it's one of those rare books that twists itself into your consciousness. 'This book will live in your head rent-free. This book held me captive, I couldn't put it down.' - Samantha Downing

Each character is astonishingly real and the pacing is spot-on.

'There is nothing creepier than an abandoned amusement park, especially when Kiersten White is writing about it.

'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 Every twist and turn horrified and delighted me in equal measure.' - Erin A Craig 'White pulls no punches in this brilliantly executed thrill ride.
