Can’t Wait Wednesday – HIDE by Kiersten White
“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking the Spine, which encourages fellow bloggers to spotlight upcoming releases that we’re excited about. It is a meme that I have loved participating in since I first started blogging, but as Jill is no longer actively posting, from now on I’ll be linking to Can’t Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, which is a spinoff of the original WoW meme.

My selection for this week is HIDE by Kiersten White. I’ve enjoyed several of White’s YA novels so I’m excited to see that she’s also writing adult novels now. This one actually sounds like a much darker story than what I’ve been reading lately, but I’m too intrigued by the premise not to check it out.
HIDE by Kiersten White
Publication Date: May 24, 2022 by Del Ray
From Goodreads:
A high-stakes hide-and-seek competition turns deadly in this dark thriller from New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White.
The challenge: spend a week hiding in an abandoned amusement park and don’t get caught.
The prize: enough money to change everything.
Even though everyone is desperate to win—to seize their dream futures or escape their haunting pasts—Mack feels sure that she can beat her competitors. All she has to do is hide, and she’s an expert at that.
It’s the reason she’s alive, and her family isn’t.
But as the people around her begin disappearing one by one, Mack realizes this competition is more sinister than even she imagined, and that together might be the only way to survive.
Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide, but nowhere to run.
Come out, come out, wherever you are.

I’d love to hear what upcoming book releases you’re waiting on this Wednesday? Leave me your link in the comments below and I’ll stop by and check out your CWW selection for this week. 🙂
This sounds really spooky! I can see why you’d want to read it, it does sound like an interesting story! But I think it would be too scary for me, haha! I’m too much of a scaredy cat for thrillers!
Hope that your week is going well and 2022 is off to a good start for you! 🙂
Thanks! Happy New Year, Mica!
I can’t wait to read this! It sounds like it might be an over the top thriller, but that’s ok😁
Right? Sometimes over-the-top is the perfect escapist read.
Ooh, this sounds wild! Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you!
It sounds really interesting. I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance to read it!
Thank you!
Kiersten White is so hit or miss for me, but man this one looks great. I might have to try it.

I like the premise of this one, mainly because it sounds so different from anything else I’ve read from her.
Oh yeah- fun. 🙂
I hope it will be. 🙂
Is it odd that all I could think of was that Kiss movie where they are in the amusement park? Hope it’s great!
Nope, not odd at all. I can totally how you got there. 🙂
Ooooh, this one sounds intriguing! I hadn’t heard of it before, but now I’m putting it on my TBR list. Thanks for the heads-up.

You’re welcome!
That is one hell of a cover, I’ll have to get the audio!
Oh yeah, I imagine this would be especially good on audio.
I just got Hide from NetGalley, I’ve got high hopes for it!
Cool. Hope you love it!
Wow, this sooo outside what I normally read but I am totally intrigued by that synopsis.
Right? Same here!
