Especially since I enjoy White’s writing and deconstructions of other tropes she’s taken on. Given that stories like “Hunger Games” and “Squid Game” have appealed to me for a very long time, it was a no brainer that this theme would work for me in this novel. White already had me with the premise of a high stakes hide and seek game where money is the prize but undisclosed dangers threaten the players. So you know I was really excited to jump into the thick of it. I live for all of this, and I really like White as an author. And for her debut adult novel “Hide”, she returns to horror, enticing fans of the genre with an abandoned theme park, adults hoping to play hide and seek for a cash prize, and sinister ulterior motives from the people who are running the contest. And while Kiersten White has been more in Serena’s genres of fantasy and historical fiction, she has dabbled in horror now and again. Partially because it’s interesting to see how we interact with an author’s work as two people with different literary focuses, but also because it usually means an author is good at genre jumping. I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s always kinda fun when Serena and I have an author that we both really enjoy. Review: Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book!
