Out of every monster, murderer, and creepy crawly mystery thriller I have ever read, there is something about the perfect town where everyone seems and acts happy, but there is a dark undercurrent that always unnerves me more then anything else. *shudders* Give me a vampire or a serial killer any day of the week and I will be find reading it, but the town of Wayward Pines had the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end and my heart racing!
There isn't much I can say about this book without spoilers but let me just say, never in a million years would I have guessed the insidious truth about the seemingly sleepy town of Wayward Pines, and I ran to the library website to put the next book in the trilogy on hold!

The Creatures immediately put me off and then the ending, both with the far future and Ethan taking over the sheriff job, don't really get me excited to read more. Though I am vaguely curious as to how he handles that, still no idea if I'm curious enough to continue.Graphic: Gaslighting, Violence, Police brutality, Torture, Forced institutionalization, Car accident, and Confinement

It's a shame since the premise is interesting, although The Lottery-esque setting of Wayward Pines was not believable in the least, let alone how the main character was seemingly invincible.
I might finish the trilogy again if I'm feeling masochistic enough.
