I really enjoyed HIDE. My biggest problem with it was the constant shift in perspective which made it really hard to follow in the first act. Once the cast of characters begins to dwindle, it becomes less of a problem and I found myself riveted going from person to person. Kiersten White is a really exciting author and between this and Mister Magic, she’s definitely one I will be reading for years to come. Fantastic first entry into adult literature for Kiersten and it’s fascinating to see how quickly she grew from Hide to Mister Magic. This was a really fun, quick moving thriller with some deep themes about systemic trauma. If you’re a fan of The Hunger Games, A Quiet Place or The Most Dangerous Game, Hide is for you!
