Title: Wayward (Wayward Pines # 2) Author: Blake Crouch Genre: Science Fiction/ Thriller Published: 2013 Description: Welcome to Wayward Pines, population 461. Nestled
amidst picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town is a modern-day Eden… except
for the electrified fence and razor wire, snipers scoping everything 24/ 7, and
the relentless surveillance tracking each word and gesture. None of the
residents know how they got there. They are told where to work, how to live,
and who to marry. Some believe they are dead. Others think they’re trapped in
an unfathomable experiment. Everyone secretly dreams of leaving, but those who
dare face a terrifying surprise. Ethan Burke has seen the world beyond. He’s sheriff, and one of the few
who knows the truth. Wayward Pines isn’t just a town. And what lies on the
other side of the fence is a nightmare beyond anyone’s imagining. Review: Imagine living in a beautiful small village. The surroundings are breathtaking
and the families who live there look perfect. Everyone has jobs and a beautiful
house to live in. it sounds great, but as we all know, nothing is perfect. And
Wayward Pines certainly isn’t. “Wayward” is the sequel to “Pines”, in the “Wayward Pines” series. The
first book ended with a cliffhanger that shook the entire story. The second
book builds on this reveal we got and it works amazing. WARNING! IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST BOOK OR ARE READING IT RIGHT
NOW, PLEASE BE AWARE THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! Ethan Burke has accepted the challenge and now works as the sheriff of
Wayward Pines. Although he has little to do most days, he carries a big secret
with him – the truth. And as soon as his wife Theresa reveals that she has
doubts about Wayward Pines, Ethan is faced with a decision whether to inform
her or not. In doing so, he plays a double role as sheriff. On the one hand,
the wants to do something himself with what he knows. On the other hand, he must
make sure that the residents of the town continue to behave themselves and, above
all, do not find out the truth. The sequel delves more into the history and origins of Wayward Pines. This
ensures, that the cliffhanger the first book ended with becomes more believable.
The reader gets more fo a handle on the explanation regarding the origins of
Wayward Pines. In the process, the reader also learns more about Ethan Burke
and his past before his arrival in Wayward Pines. “Pines” was one of the best books I read in 2024, and I think “Wayward”
will be in 2025. Its just as good as its predecessor and I immediately want to
read the third book, since this one also ended with a cliffhanger. Rating: 5/ 5
