Mack, who was the person whose perspective you read from the most, didn't do it for me. Additionally, it jumped around a lot, it was hard to engage with any of the characters or what they were feeling. There were so many perspectives and characters. The writing was a little wonky for me from the very start, but I was intrigued to see where it was going regardless. Unfortunately, the bad override the good.

I liked a couple things and I really disliked some things. It's taken me a long time to come to grips with how I feel about this book. This game may be more dangerous than anyone initially anticipated. The things Mack observes as she hides chill her to the bone. As she sees it, her biggest gift is her ability to hide. The main individual we follow is a young woman named Mack, who has a very violent, traumatic past. Additionally, it's not clear at all who, or what, the Seekers are. With two contestants getting caught and out of the game each day, the tension increasingly mounts. We follow multiple different perspectives as the contest begins and a Hunger Games-type vibe falls over the narrative. The only things they really know are that it is hosted by a sporting goods company and the prize is $50,000. Seemingly selected at random from some sort of need-based selection process, the fourteen individuals are complete strangers and come from locations scattered throughout the United States.įrom the very start the contest is shrouded in mystery. In this story we follow fourteen contestants competing in a Hide-and-Seek contest at an abandoned amusement park. One of my all-time favorite tropes are games, or competitions, so when I heard the synopsis for Kiersten White's Adult Debut, Hide, I instantly added it to my TBR.
