The Amazement Park that Kept Me on My Toes

My Hide Story

I got an advanced reader copy of Hide from the publisher for an honest review (thanks, NetGalley). I state that at the onset of this review because I had no idea what to expect from this book. I had only read The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White prior to this and WOW did this book shock me. There are things to consider when recommending this one. It's scary. It's emotional. It's intense. The fascinating element that Kiersten has crafted is motivation. Why a character is taking an action or making a choice is an aspect of a story that can derail a whole book. In Hide, motivation is crafted masterfully. Not only does each character have their own reasons for participating in this crazy thriller, but they are reasons where every reader can find a character to resonate with (Spoilers: that character may not survive to the end, this book doesn't hold back). The bigger picture of why this whole experience is happening in the first place is incredible and bizarrely believable. I've never read a book like this. But if you loved Squid Game of The Cabin in the Woods... this book is for you!
