I'm shocked over the bad reviews! I think the multiple POVs were done very well, I enjoyed the plot, and I really liked the characters. There were a lot in the beginning but it decreases pretty quickly.  I really enjoyed this book, I liked a fun take on this hide and seek classic children's game, and how so many of the characters stories connected.

Books usually lose me when it introduces anything even slightly sci-fi/paranormal, but this was done in a way that it didn't take me out of the story or make me roll my eyes. The only thing I didn't enjoy were the journal entries. I think they were too conveniently revealing. I would have appreciated the older entires to be written in an older language because they all read the same no matter the year. But they were still interesting and added enough value that I don't want to detract it from my rating.
