then the basic plotline of Pines will not seem new. If you are familiar with the “survival horror” genre, whether it be via video games, novels, etc. There were times I had to set it down and walk away to take care of one thing or another but I just as quickly returned because I simply had to know what happens next. It has been some time since a book has held my attention so fully that I read it in one evening. Oh my goodness dear reader, I am so glad I did. As a fan of the “survival horror” type video games (ie Silent Hill and Resident Evil) I was especially intrigued and added the title to my queue. Blake Crouch is an author I have reviewed before on here and when looking at some of the other titles he’s written the Wayward Pines series stood out.
Such is what happened with Pines, the first novel in the Wayward Pines series. Or maybe something in the blurb just piques my interest. Maybe something on the cover catches my eye. Maybe I’ve read something from the author before, maybe I haven’t. Why can’t he get any phone calls through to his wife and son in the outside world? Why doesn’t anyone believe he is who he says he is? And what is the purpose of the electrified fences surrounding the town? Are they meant to keep the residents in? Or something else out? Each step closer to the truth takes Ethan further from the world he thought he knew, from the man he thought he was, until he must face a horrifying fact-he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive.Often times when I am looking for books to add to To Read list I will add titles that just sound interesting. As the days pass, Ethan’s investigation into the disappearance of his colleagues turns up more questions than answers. The medical staff seems friendly enough, but something feels…off. He comes to in a hospital, with no ID, no cell phone, and no briefcase. But within minutes of his arrival, Ethan is involved in a violent accident. Secret service agent Ethan Burke arrives in Wayward Pines, Idaho, with a clear mission: locate and recover two federal agents who dent missing in the bucolic town one month earlier. Pines is followed by Wayward (2013) and the trilogy is concluded by The Last Town (2014).
Pines is the first book in the Wayward Pines trilogy published in 2012 and written by American Author Blake Crouch.
