Hide

Fourteen strangers, each short on money or looking for a way out of their lives, sign up for a game of hide-and-seek that lasts seven days. The venue is Amazement Park, an abandoned amusement park overgrown with weeds, in the town of Asterion.

The rules are simple. Anyone who is found is out, and whoever stays hidden until the week ends wins a prize big enough to remake a life.

Mack is living in a shelter. She survived a family tragedy by hiding, and she trusts that the same skill will carry her through the game. Among the other contestants she grows close to Ava and LeGrand.

The three begin to suspect that the prize money is only part of what the game is for. The park has a dark history, and it may be tied to why they were chosen.

Horror and suspense run through a supernatural thriller written for adult readers. What the park wants from the people hiding in it is the question the week turns on.
