I did like the setting well enough at the start but by the end I was tired of it. However, I feel that the direction it ended up going in ended up feeling really strange and unsatisfying. The overall premise sounds great, right? A hide and seek competition in a creepy, abandoned amusement park should have been a great setting for either some creepy, eerie atmosphere or some exciting thrills.

So thus I think I’ll stick with 2.5 as the rating. I’m kind of torn between 2.5 stars and 3 because as I said I didn’t completely hate it but at the same time I was waiting for the book to end and I have a feeling this won’t be a very memorable reading experience for me. I was super excited when I heard Kiersten White was releasing an adult thriller/horror book. This was pretty disappointing, it wasn’t terrible, but I wasn’t in love with it.
