A few characters from book number one of the series make an appearance in this book. They are written in nicely and seem meaningful to the current story. Finally with no place left to hide the killer is revealed. But in an unforeseen twist, there is more to the story, and to the killings, than you would have expected.

During her investigation (with the reluctant help of Dodge and Warren), she discovers a possible link with a serial killer that abducted and tortured a young girl several years before her family left Boston. This book is a fast-paced, heart-thumping depiction of what the effect of a psychotic serial murderer has on the lives of everyone they touch. But the twists and turns you will never see coming. You'll end up questioning your own capacity for resilience. The gardens of the state are a fecund wilderness, Eden after the Fall, whose plant and bird life are described in detail by the observant Simon. Simon lives with his dominant sister Audrey whose dead husband had owned the house and estate. Also resident as an unpaid servant is Marion, a young relative of Audrey’s dead husband. The employment of Josh as a gardener sets in play a series of events culminating in disaster.

Unsworth was twice married, to Valerie Moor, 1959 with whom he had three daughters (marriage dissolved, 1991), and to Aira Pohjanvaara-Buffa, 1992. In later years made his home in Umbria, Italy. He died in Perugia, at age 81, of lung cancer. I love a good horror book. I love being scared by them. This book has an underlying dread which really helped amp up the anxiety and tension for me.

Kai seems like having ulterior motives to join their hiking group. He shows different kind of interest to those birds, making suspicious phone calls.

Taken into a shelter they are given the rules, from dawn until dusk the game is on, hide or be eliminated if found. They are told that two of them will be eliminated each day and after that return to the base until the next day when the hunt begins again. To win simply survive the seven days without being found. At the same time, a young man is released from a psychiatric facility, and reunites with his twin sister. Bodie has issues, while Amelia seems like a successful artist; though, as the story progresses, and more young, red-haired women are found murdered, it becomes obvious that there is a lot more going on with this pair. And it’s dark.

I want to thank The publisher "Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine" and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this ARC and any thoughts or opinions expressed are unbiased and mine alone! In Russia, female cops dressed like this are being disciplined, though, to be fair, it was the short skirts, not the high heels, that were the cause of the Interior Ministry's ire. This is the graphic adaptation of Kiersten White’s 2022 survival-horror-in-an-amusement-park novel Hide, which I did try to read earlier this year, but just could not get into it. However, it did work MUCH better for me as a graphic novel! Some of what made the text-only novel difficult for me persists here—namely the rapid, whiplash changes in perspective and jarring leaps in time—but having the visuals helps a lot! The artwork by Veronica and Andy Fish is engaging and bold.With both her parents deceased, Annabelle has never found out who or what she's been hiding from her whole life. Living in Boston under a new name, she's forced into a decision: let everyone think she was one of the dead children - including her mystery threat - or come forward to the police, giving them a new lead that might potentially bring justice and closure to those who need it. Annabelle decides to do the right thing, which puts her in danger as all the pieces of her past are revealed one by one until... I read the novel version of this story last year. It was one of my anticipated reads, but it was such a disappointment. I decided to request the graphic novel version on NetGalley, and while the story was the same, the illustrations added a better experience to it.

This was a very creepy and disturbing horror story taking place in a spooky old, broken down and desolate amusement park located far from any nearby towns or help if needed. I found all the characters wonderfully developed whether they were likeable or despicable. The dark storytelling and writing was great as it had myself feeling many emotions throughout the book. This was a horror story blended with the supernatural yet it touched upon many current social issues that all of society is dealing with today as in violence, domestic abuse, murder, racism, physical appearance, bigotry, PTSD, economic class etc which were wonderful assets brought into a horror story. The reader may think as they're reading that there will be a predictable outcome but they couldn't be more wrong. Kirsten White has written an entertaining and terrific book that encompasses all sorts of dark, nightmarish settings and I highly recommend it to all avid horror readers. Foster puts up with Lonergan long enough to show her boss, Chief Griffin, that she's truly able to do the job. After Lonergan 's fifth or sixth idiotic decision, Foster reaches out to Detective Li, and, Chief Griffin assigns them to work together.

She continued to run and hide, long after both her parents were dead, until one day, at age 22, when she saw a news story about the discovery of six bodies discovered on the grounds of an abandoned mental hospital outside Boston. The details of the news story were vague, but instinctually Annabelle knew that bodies were all of young girls, and she knew one of them was her best friend. It was finally time for her to stop running and hiding. Her new captain pairs her with an “old-fashioned” cop, and the two immediately pull a case of a young, re-haired woman brutally murdered. Her new partner is abrasive and insensitive, and the two really are not a good fit together, though he does find some leads in the case. The art was gorgeous, bright and colourful. Maybe could have had some changes to the layout, there was just a lot of yellow commentary boxes through most of it. But overall amazing. let us leave unexamined what it says about me that i use competitive murder books as escapist entertainment. suffice it to say, i ride the subway into the city every day, which gives me a front-row seat to the decline of civilization along with some simmering fantasies about thinning out the human herd.
