Hide

Today's post is on Hide by Kiersten White. It is 240 pages long and is published by Del Rey. The cover is yellow with a Ferris wheel on floating ground in the center. The intended reader is someone who likes horror novels. There is foul language, no sex and mild violence in this novel. The story is from third person close of the different characters. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the dust jacket- The challenge: spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park and don't get caught.
The prize: enough money to change everything.
Even though everyone is desperate to win--to seize their dream futures or escape their haunting pasts--Mack feels sure that she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she's an expert at that.
It's the reason she's alive, and her family isn't.
But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack realizes this competition is more sinister than even she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.
Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide, but nowhere to run.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Review- A very intense and interesting horror novel. Mack has been hiding all her life, from her past and her future. But when she is offered a chance in this game, she thinks why not. But of course nothing is like it seems. The other people are odd, like her and there is something wrong with the maze. The mystery about the maze was not too hard to figure out but the plot was still enjoyable. I liked the characters and I was sadden by their deaths but this is a horror novel. I think that White did a good job in this novel, she took a good concept, added interesting characters, and made a good novel. I would enjoy reading another novel from her. 

I give this novel a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this novel from my local library.
