Bookseller recommendation
“I gulped and gasped my way through this book as fast as I could and I still couldn't get it all down fast enough. The Minotaur-ish monster in the maze is terrifying, the violence is all there, the narration for the audiobook is breathtaking, but there’s still so much more to this book. Kiersten White's ghastly adult debut is as much a character study about trauma in the many forms it takes and the debt we owe to the living and the dead alike as it is about who’s going to get ‘voted off the island’ next. Hide delivers on everything it promises and more. I couldn’t breathe until I’d finished.”

“Hide is disturbingly dark - recommended to read when your county fair is in town. The way White writes about family trauma gets progressively more heart wrenching throughout the story. But in the end, she reminds readers that you aren't alone and sometimes family can be the friends you make. ”
— Jenny • E. Shaver, bookseller

“I've always enjoyed reading Kiersten White's YA so I was eager to pick up her new adult title. Whew! What an exciting ride. I listened to it on Libro.fm as an ALC and I was constantly on edge with this story! I loved all the characters, but especially Mac, Ava, Legrand, and Brandon. I wanted to wrap them all in fluffy blankets so they could finally catch a break but it wasn't meant to be. If the idea of playing hide and seek for your life intrigues you, this is the title for you! ”

“Listened to this one on a road trip with my teens and everyone was completely absorbed by this story. A variety of characters and personalities that just work together perfectly. The 'monster' was nothing like any of us guessed it would be, and the suspense was perfect. Multiple times we had to sit in the car and finish a chapter before we could get out and go on with our trip. A really fun book.”
— Heidi • Hideaway Books
Bookseller recommendation
“A fast paced and horrific re-imagining of the myth of the Minotaur for anxiety-ridden millennials.”

Summary
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A high-stakes hide-and-seek competition turns deadly in this “marvelously creepy thrill ride of a book that keeps twisting until the very end” (Karen M. McManus, author of One of Us Is Lying)
“The suspenseful plot combines elements of Thomas Tryon’s classic Harvest Home, Netflix’s Squid Game, and the social commentary of Jordan Peele’s film oeuvre and mixes these with a revelatory pacing reminiscent of Spielberg’s Jaws.”—Booklist
The challenge: Spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park and don’t get caught.
The prize: enough money to change everything.
Even though everyone is desperate to win—to seize a dream future or escape a haunting past—Mack is sure she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she’s an expert at that.
It’s the reason she’s alive and her family isn’t.
But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack realizes that this competition is even more sinister than she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.
Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide but nowhere to run.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Reviews
“There is nothing creepier than an abandoned amusement park, especially when Kiersten White is writing about it. This book held me captive; I couldn’t put it down.”—Samantha Downing, internationally bestselling author of For Your Own Good“Hide is a claustrophobic thriller choked with weeds, rust, and rot. The game here is not what it seems. The hunt is swift and merciless, and the fear is primal and bestial. Don’t pick up this book unless you have time to read it all in one anxious sitting.”—Stephanie Perkins, New York Times bestselling author of There’s Someone Inside Your House
“Haunting, startling, unrelenting, and unexpectedly heartbreaking, Hide draws you inexorably in among the thorns and rust, where the monsters are both intimately familiar and horrifyingly unfathomable.”—Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of The Violence
“Equal parts hell-ride thriller and American fable, Kiersten White’s Hide runs you through a sinister child’s game set in a nightmare amusement park, and it does so with gleeful, fiendish delight. I hung on to this book with bloodless knuckles, and I adored every spine-chilling second.”—Chuck Wendig, New York Times bestselling author of The Book of Accidents
“White pulls no punches in this brilliantly executed thrill ride. Every twist and turn horrified and delighted me in equal measure.”—Erin A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and Sorrows
“This book will live in your head rent-free. When I wasn’t reading Hide, I was thinking about it—it’s one of those rare books that twists itself into your consciousness. Kiersten White has outdone herself.”—Victoria Lee, author of A Lesson in Vengeance
“A marvelously creepy thrill ride of a book that keeps twisting until the very end.”—Karen M. McManus, #1 New York Times bestselling author of One of Us Is Lying
“The suspenseful plot combines elements of Thomas Tryon’s classic Harvest Home, Netflix’s Squid Game, and the social commentary of Jordan Peele’s film oeuvre and mixes these with a revelatory pacing reminiscent of Spielberg’s Jaws.”—Booklist
“An enthralling, high-energy thriller grounded in supernatural horror . . . White skillfully balances the terrifying solo experiences of individual characters, the tense group dynamics, and the park’s backstory to create a constantly shifting narrative backed by a growing sense of dread. With this exhilarating outing, White proves she has a finger on the pulse of millennial horror.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) Expand reviews
