I picked this up ready to spend a few days sat on trains and wanted a quick read. This was perfect for that. It's a hide and seek thriller with a supernatural element and goes really hard into the chilling, creeping sense of dread as competitors start to vanish. The pacing is fast, the descriptions are excellent and I really enjoyed the characters. The reason this gets 4 instead of 5 stars is the ending. It's so abrupt that it really feels like a final "wrap-up" chapter is missing. I turned the page and all of a sudden it was the Acknowledgements section. That being said I really enjoyed reading this and it got me through a few days of travelling. Would highly recommend for a fast-paced palate cleanser.

When Hide and Seek turns deadly. 14 contestants enter the park and compete in a game of hide and seek for a substantial prize money. But what actually happens when a contestant gets tagged out? This is only the second book I have read by Kiersten White and I have absolutely loved both of them. This book in particular tickled fancies I didn't even know I had. I suddenly have the urge to visit abandoned amusement parks because the eerie atmosphere is something so creepy and mysterious that I would love to enjoy it myself (she says whilst knowing that she would probably pee her pants in fear). I usually don't pay much attention to maps in books but I did find myself following the characters steps via the map in this one. The map is unbelievably cool! I loved the diversity of the contestants and the variety of reasons they all entered the park. Particularly the MC Mack who hides something dark in her past. There are quite a few twists in this book that kept me hooked trying to figure out the secret myself. I devoured this book in only a few days it kept me so engrossed! Things are most definitely not what they seem in this abandoned amusement park. I really wish I could say more but I definitely do not want to spoil it for others! In short I really loved it and I need more books like this in my life.
