Hide and Seeker


Justin's best friend has returned after being missing for a year, but he is not the same.  He looks frightened all the time, and he can't carry on a conversation with anyone.  Zee's mom wants to believe everything is fine, so she invites some of the neighborhood kids over for a welcome home party.  

The kids decide to play a game of hide and seek while they wait for Zee to appear, but things go horribly wrong, and the kids start disappearing one by one.  They broke the rules of the game, and now there are consequences. 

They find themselves trapped in a place called Nowhere where a creature called the Seeker forces them to relive their worst fears over and over again.  Suddenly all of Zee's strange warnings make sense.  Everything in Nowhere is designed to keep kids alone, but Justin and his friends quickly realize they will have to work together if they have any hope of escape.

This new thriller from Daka Hermon is a real treat for horror lovers!  It has a diverse cast with a truly frightening villain.  Justin is a well-developed character who is still struggling with grief and anxiety following his mother's death.  Plus, bonus points for an awesome cover!  Highly recommended.
