Secondly, when we find out why they are really there...ugh, I just rolled my eyes and plowed through to the end to see if things would be redeemed, but unfortunately they really weren't. it's less graphically brutal than i'd anticipated, but more psychologically brutal, an emotionally effective survival story of class divide and the entitled elite driven by the same "some people are disposable" philosophy as The Most Dangerous Game and Good Rich People, but with more monsters at the story's center. This one was full of tension, without making me terrified. You know things are going to go wrong and the author keeps you in the dark until the end when the motivations are revealed. There are quite a few characters to keep up with and two characters named Ava! Why?! Twelve-year-old twins Theodora and Alexander Sinister-Winterbottom, and their 16-year-old sister Wilhelmina, encounter the summer-vacation unexpected via White’s (the Camelot Rising trilogy) archly Continue reading »I loved the idea and as a loyal fan of the author, I was so intrigued to read her contemporary horror adult debut! So now she's seen it. She knows what's out there. It doesn't make anymore sense than it did before, but at least she can move from horror - the fear of the unknown - to terror - the fear of the known. Terror is almost a comfort at this point, a familiar friend." White pulls no punches in this brilliantly executed thrill ride.

As someone that's not big on graphic novels... (let's face it this is only my 8th) I was obsessed with this one, once I started it I couldn't put it down. The imagery is amazing and I couldn't believe how many of the images were exactly what I had pictured. Librarian Preview: HarperCollins (Fall 2010)". School Library Journal. June 17, 2010. Archived from the original on June 23, 2010 . Retrieved July 27, 2010.Now normally I'd do some reel or graphic but this cover is just everything and I'll leave it at that. I want to thank The publisher "Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine" and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC and any thoughts or opinions expressed are unbiased and mine alone! Modern twist on a legend in Greek mythology (not telling though). Throw in a bit of Hunger Games and ready, set, go!

The art was amazing and really set the eerie tone of the park while still being so vibrant and eye catching. Hide was tons of fun. I just read another book that centered around a groups of kids dying in an amusement park and it was a big let down. So, I was 100% into the twist of this book. I will definitely keep looking out for Kiersten White’s work in whichever format it comes, but I *do* think I’m done with theme park horror for a while! 🤣 I was expecting a straightforward mystery/adventure/thriller. What I got was half thriller, half paranormal supernatural gobbledygook. A really good flow with great writing style, fast paced and easy to follow. As the book went on the plot was pretty obvious. Too many characters to really get to know them all. The MC's development was good. I was excited for this storyline but it died a bit in the middle. The cover is nice and bright and captures you attention.Fans of Riley Sager will enjoy Hide. Here, we take a look at his novel Final Girls. Also see Joyland by Stephen King. This is the graphic adaptation of Kiersten White’s 2022 survival-horror-in-an-amusement-park novel Hide, which I did try to read earlier this year, but just could not get into it. However, it did work MUCH better for me as a graphic novel! Some of what made the text-only novel difficult for me persists here—namely the rapid, whiplash changes in perspective and jarring leaps in time—but having the visuals helps a lot! The artwork by Veronica and Andy Fish is engaging and bold. I also enjoyed the social commentary, from homophobia, racism, classism, and sexism to generational animosity (boomers using and abusing younger generations for their own benefit and then blaming and deriding them for struggling). Also, in the author's note she mentions something about this being a treatise about race/class/whatever. Nah, it doesn't even come close to going there.
