When she is offered a place in a hide and seek competition it seems like a bad idea, but she could really use the $50000 prize money. ![]() In the present, she is a shell of a human being unable to trust, unable to live a real life. Mack is a person who knows all about hiding, in her troubled past she once in a very real game of hide and seek that saw the rest of her family butchered. Kiersten White’s Hide is all about these feelings, but the price of being caught is not to wait by the table for the next game, but a far more permanent end. ![]() ![]() The heightened senses as you hear the footsteps of the seeker drawing closer. That crackling of electricity in your chest as you huddle in a hiding place waiting to get caught. As an adult it is easy to forget how exhilarating hide and seek was when you were a child. ![]()
