Mack was a wonderful insight to the horrors occurring but other perspectives were also included so the reader had a full picture of events before most of the characters did. This novel felt lively and exciting and as events became distinctly less so, the panels followed suit. The colours were vibrant and each panel gave the feel of an amusement park, despite its disuse and disrepair.
I'm not sure if I'll return to it as, in my opinion, this media seemed like the perfect way in which to tell this horrifying tale. I'd wanted to read the full-length novel this graphic adaptation is based on since its release but I hadn't yet gotten around to doing so. When contestants begin to disappear and tragedy strikes those remaining, it is seeking that Mack must learn to be equally good at, if she is to discover what is really occurring and make it out alive. She excels at staying hidden and has been doing so her entire life, since the time the rest of her family were taken from her, and sees no reason why she should fail at doing so now. That is the sum that could be Mack's if she competes against thirteen other individuals on staying hidden inside an amusement park for seven full days.
With this exhilarating outing, White proves she has a finger on the pulse of millennial horror.$50,000. White skillfully balances the terrifying solo experiences of individual characters, the tense group dynamics, and the park’s backstory to create a constantly shifting narrative backed by a growing sense of dread. White’s depictions of players other than Mack begin in stereotype, but she gradually reveals enough emotional depth in each that, by the time they become a team determined to survive, the reader is ready to cheer them on in both their escape and their satisfying revenge against those who would treat them as disposable. But as players develop alliances and rivalries, it becomes clear to some that there’s more than money at stake, while others uncover the horrors lurking in the park. Mack is skilled at making herself invisible, having survived her father’s massacre of her family by hiding. Among them is Mackenzie “Mack” Black, recruited through the homeless shelter where she’s been staying. Fourteen contestants are dropped off in an abandoned amusement park for a weeklong game of extreme hide-and-seek with a massive cash prize. Bram Stoker Award–winning YA author White ( Camelot Rising) makes her adult debut with an enthralling, high-energy thriller grounded in supernatural horror.
