My name is Emily. Two years ago I lost everything. I thought I could start a new life. I thought Abby was gone. I thought I'd never see Jasper again. I thought I would never have to play another game of hide and seek in my life. Turns out I was wrong. Dead wrong. AGAIN.
Personal Response: I honestly thought the first book was better than this one. Hide and Seek 2 was kind of a repeat of Hide and Seek. Even though it did repeat a lot, it still was a very good book. Also I liked how they brought back old characters into the story and made them come back to life.
Plot: Emily was put into a new home after the drama with the Harmons. Emily meet new friends and they went a lot of adventures together. Until Emily was handed a book by her dead brother late in the night. The new adventure was to find Mr.Harmon and kill him. Once the meet up with him, the only way that they could kill him was beat him in a game of killer hide and seek. Emily ends up winning and get all of her family members back and all her friends back.
Recommendation: I would offer this book to a person of an other age and that likes creepy horror. Also I recommend this book to "Emo" kids and people that like mystery and murder.
After reading the first book, I immediately opened this one. I read this book in about a day and a half total. It was a very quick and interesting read. I give Jakayla Toney grace because of her age when she wrote these stories, but the one thing I couldn’t get over was the supermarket scene. I wanted a bit more to happen there with more explanations. Also, Carmen bringing her dad back could have had like a POV chapter or something to see exactly what was on her mind when this happened. The scene that I LOVED was when Emily and Helena entered the book. It was so detailed and creepy! The actual game at Mr. Hermon’s could’ve had more descriptions like in the first chapter, but I understand it’s because we met some characters in that game.
Overall, I would recommend this book to people who want a quick spooky read to get their 2025 reading on the way.
