Fourteen young and very lucky contestants are selected to vie for the ultimate prize of fifty thousand dollars. All they have to do is play the game of "Hide and Seek" for seven full days at an old one-time famous, now abandoned and decrepit amusement park and the last person "not found" will obviously be the big winner. What an exciting and fun opportunity for all the players chosen to participate in this game where several contestants are hoping to jumpstart their social media careers and others just want to win the big money. Winning is the name of the game for everyone. There will be rules to follow and they will hide from sunrise to sunset although they will not be told who the seeker will be and by the time they find out who or what is doing the seeking it will be too late to quit the game and they will wish they never heard of the game of "Hide and Seek" because it is now GAME OVER!

This was a very creepy and disturbing horror story taking place in a spooky old, broken down and desolate amusement park located far from any nearby towns or help if needed. I found all the characters wonderfully developed whether they were likeable or despicable. The dark storytelling and writing was great as it had myself feeling many emotions throughout the book. This was a horror story blended with the supernatural yet it touched upon many current social issues that all of society is dealing with today as in violence, domestic abuse, murder, racism, physical appearance, bigotry, PTSD, economic class etc which were wonderful assets brought into a horror story. The reader may think as they're reading that there will be a predictable outcome but they couldn't be more wrong. Kirsten White has written an entertaining and terrific book that encompasses all sorts of dark, nightmarish settings and I highly recommend it to all avid horror readers.
