Series: Wayward Pines #2
Author: Blake Crouch
Genre: Science Fiction, Thriller
About the Book: 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 here. 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. (from Goodreads)

My thoughts: I loved this book - even better than the first. I am really happy that I started this series. My husband and I are watching it on Hulu and even though it is different from the book, I am enjoying it as well. Wayward Pines is built on an interesting premise and is a new take on a dystopian book. I don't want to tell you much about the town, because if you haven't read book 1 you must go back and read it now. I would highly recommend this series if you like science fiction or thrillers!
