Fourteen strangers are invited to play the game hide-and-seek, the winner receiving $50,000.
This reminded me of the movie Ready or Not, where the bride is sacrificed in their game of hide and seek.
Except, well, the players do not know whom is doing the seeking. The rules are vague, they sign a contract that doesn't hold the hosts liable for anything that happens to the players.
The premise of this game taking place at an abandoned amusement park is so cool, with so many places to hide. While the sun is up the players are to remain hidden and can only come out when the sun is setting.
Hide captivated my attention from the beginning, though the jumping around from character's flashbacks to the current time period... did keep throwing me off.
Their temporary guide, Linda, even throws in a fun quest of locating a leather bound book and returning it to her for a prize.
I knew there had to be more to it besides a "reality tv" game of hide-and-seek.
All of the questions and mystery are eventually answered and makes a lot of sense....a lot of twisted f'ed up sense.
This is one of the most morbid and on edge hide-and-seek thrillers. I would listen to this audiobook again.
Listening to many characters perspectives is a plus, getting to know them individually and eventually how they are all tied together.
