“If it’s a game, win,” Ava says, her voice fierce. “And it it’s not, survive.”
Come out, come out, whereever you are!
Who doesn’t like Hide and Seek? Who hasn’t played it? Who will be the winner?
The fourteen contestants all want to win. There is a lot of money on the table, and they all are motivated to play, to win, to change their lives. How hard can it be? Hide during the day and come back to camp at night.
Seven days. That is not a long time. You must be better than the others at hiding and maybe, just maybe, you could be the winner!
This was a fun one for me. I thoroughly enjoyed it. This read like a horror film for me, and parts reminded me Predator (I chuckled when a piece of equipment is called the Predator), The Cabin in the Woods, and dare I say it The Hunger Games,
From the beginning, when Linda made her appearance, I knew things were going to get real. Two contestants would be eliminated each day. Will the odds be in their favor? I think not! Hide has suspense, tension and dread all rolled up in a neat little package. I enjoyed not quite knowing what was going on after their first night. We don’t know a lot about the characters, but one is singled out and we know more about her. Slowly we get to learn more about some others which added to the tension and dread in the book.
This one grabbed my attention from the beginning. I was fully invested in knowing what was going on. Readers learn what is happening and yet, it only added to my enjoyment. With the descriptions, I could easily visualize what was happening in the book. I can see this being made into a movie.
I love a good horror book. I love being scared by them. This book has an underlying dread which really helped amp up the anxiety and tension for me.
Who is ready for a game of hide and seek?
