Hide
by Kiersten White
A deadly game of hide and seek
Hide || Kiersten White
Pub Date: 24/05/22
Genre: Dark supernatural thriller, horror, suspense
Rating: 4 stars
Hide is a standalone horror thriller by author, Kiersten White. I purchase this one on release day after hearing about it a few months prior.
The story follows fourteen individuals who sign up for a competition promising fame and fortune if they win a large-scale game of hide and seek, set in an abandoned amusement park. But as contestants begin to disappear under strange circumstances, it becomes evident that something more sinister and deadly is going on.
The story is interspersed with diary entries and sections told from the perspective of the game’s organizers; however, the main focus is on the contestants. I loved getting to know each of them and their backstories and personalities. I felt connected to almost all the characters in some way, my favorite being Mack. The story felt a little like Big Brother if it was a horror novel.
The author was able to create a tense and suspenseful atmosphere and I loved the amusement park setting. There is just something creepy about a run-down fair ground. The story was well paced and I eager kept listening finding things to do around my house just to listen to a few more chapters. I did listen a bit at night when I couldn’t sleep, and well this book didn’t exactly cure my insomnia let’s just say.
Overall, this was a fun, easy to listen to, part horror/part thriller which I would highly recommend.
