I don't think I have the vocabulary to express how much I disliked the ending, so I can only try to sum it up and hope whoever is reading this rambling will understand.

I love horror set in amusement parks and was anticipating this one so much! Unfortunately this was a huge let down.
There are so many characters introduced immediately and none of them I found to be very interesting or intriguing. I wasn’t attached to any of them and it felt like the author was trying to stereotype them all so you’d remember them. There was Mac the chick with baggage, beautiful Ava the bitch, the other Ava the cool lesbian, Jayden the dick jock, Atrius the artistic weirdo and so on and so on, blah blah. Every character came off as a cardboard cut out of a real person to me.
Along with the characters, the story itself had such an opportunity to be unique and do something different but it was very predictable, and very boring once you hit the halfway point. I was struggling towards the end for sure.
Honestly, I didn’t hate this book. I was actually really into it at first but once the “twist” is revealed the story loses its momentum and never gets it back.
If you’re looking for a really good survival horror novel set in an amusement park, skip Hide and instead pick up Fantasticland by Mike Bockoven. I could not put Fantasticland down, and highly recommend it!
