When fourteen people are asked to participate in a game of Hide and Seek for a cash prize, why would they say no? But maybe the seeker isn't even human and the fourteen people are thrown into something bigger than anything they ever imagined.
I really liked the premise of this book. A Hide and Seek game in an abandoned amusement park with a dark twist sounds really cool. But I thought that this book started off really slowly. Nobody realizes anything is wrong until the middle of the third day(there are six days). The characters that were left were pretty fleshed out but I wanted more about all the different characters than just the ones who lived.
Overall, it was kind of slow and the characterization for some characters was lacking but it was a pretty good horror book.
