There seems to be a more and more ominous vibe surrounding the game especially into the second day. By the time they bed down for the night Mack is feeling confident in her ability to win but she is also lonely and wants to form connections with people like Ava and LeGrande but doesn’t approach them because she is afraid of being hurt or rejected.Īs we cross the ¼ mark in the novel, day two is beginning and I can’t wait to see what happens and who is eliminated this time. Two people are eliminated by the end of the first day and another doesn’t return to base camp and while no one thinks much of this at the time there seems to be something off about the game especially when they are offered an unknown bonus in return for finding a journal hidden somewhere within the amusement park. During the first day of the game we follow various competitors as they hide and wait but Mack is haunted by her memories and spends most of the day in a kind of trance. By the time they are taken to base camp which they will use every night Mack has a strategy in place and Ava, the veteran, takes notice and follows her lead in storing food and avoiding scented products.
The competitors get some time to relax before the game begins and they recapped on the rules but Mack avoids the soaps and spa treatments as the scents might give her away during the game.
There’s a veteran named Ava wearing two sets of tags, one belonging to her and one belonging to someone else and a boy named LeGrande who is nervous and seems to be scared of women who might be Mack’s biggest competition.Īs we approach the ¼ mark in the novel, I liked the characters and was invested in the story so I couldn’t wait for the game to begin. From the introductions of the 14 people competing many are either wannabe celebrities or down and out celebrities but there are a few like Mack. This is giving me similar vibes to the movie, Would You Rather? which had a similar premise. Mack is offered the chance to compete in a hide and seek competition for a large sum of money if she wins and after meeting her competitors she feels she had a good chance at winning.
The second disturbing things is that our protagonist, Mack’s while family was murdered by her father and the only reason she is alive is because she hid the entire time. We learn about an amusement park where a five year old girl was murdered and even though an employee was arrested for the murder a shoe belonging to a child was found near a part of the park which had been closed off to the public since it opened in the 50’s. The opening to Hide was very interesting as we learn a lot of disturbing things early on. I recently finished Go Hunt Me by Kelly deVos and Hide sounds like a similar kind of book so I decided to pick it up and give it a go since I adored Go Hunt Me.
