“Eventually, the rumors died. The plants grew. Nature slowly co-opted the buildings, the rides, the roller coasters.”

Every seven years an amusement park opens his doors a week for free. But in one of these weeks a girl gets missing. Since then the parks has been closed. Until a group of candidates have the chance to win a large sum of money. Their only objective? Keep hidden for a week. But then candidates are disappearing and the hide and seek turns into a deadly supernatural thriller.

When I heard about this book as a supernatural horror situated in an amusement park with a deadly hide and seek I got so excited. The whole concept sounded thrilling. However when I picked it up only the first chapter managed to keep me excited. After that the pace dropped and the plot got sort of lost between the fourteen characters. Because of this and the lack of a extensive backstory I didn’t feel connected and whenever a character got missing I didn’t feel anything. As for the horror element, that was more or less absent. In my opinion it was more a semi supernatural psychological thriller. Nothing wrong with that, but it didn’t work due to a lack of worldbuilding. This book was mainly focused on social behavior in groups, dealing with trauma and defining ones identity. Although I absolutely feel for that in a book, it’s not enough when it claims to be a horror or supernatural thriller. All in all, this book wasn’t for me. But this still can be a nice read for anyone looking for a psychological thriller with supernatural-horrorlike elements on the side.
