This book reminded me a lot of the movie ready or not.
This followed I think 14 people who were given the opportunity of a lifetime, to go and play hide and seek in an old amusement park for 7 and if you win you have enough money to change everything. Except once the competition starts and the contestants start disappearing in strange ways it becomes apparent that something more is happening.
I think my biggest issue with this book was mostly the fact that I wasn't particularly attached to any of the characters. When they were being picked off I just didn't really care. I was more in the mind of how and why is this happening.
I did like the way the monster was described and everything to do with that. It was creepy and scary and the setting of the park was so vivid I felt like I could somewhat plan out what it looked like.
The ending I also really liked, usually, I have an issue with endings because it's such a hard thing to end a story well but here I was satisfied and none of it felt rushed or out of place, it just really felt like a realistic ending to the story.
Overall I enjoyed this, while I did feel a little meh about it, it's not bad by any means and I would recommend it to a friend.
