As you start reading this book you will wonder, "what in the heck is going on"? The way the author weaves around and adds small details little by little is this fun of the book. It becomes addictive. By the end you learn how and why but there are so many more questions to be answered. Of course there is a sequel. Pines, is to hard to put in a genre. It's mystery, horror, sci-fi and, romance. Enjoy the adventure.

PINES is The first of trilogy. It is definitely a nailbiter, and you'll enjoy it if you read the entire trilogy. But just this one book is not good enough for a book group.

After a secret service agent is in a car accident and regains consciousness in a small town, he can only think of returning to his wife and son in Seattle. But, for some reason, no one in the town wants him to leave, and when he tries to escape, he finds there is no way out.

The limited-time TV series, "Wayward Pines," was based on this trilogy. Probably, if you haven't already seen the TV series, you'll enjoy the books more. I base that opinion, though, on my own preference for reading the book before I see the TV show or movie. You may feel differently because the books and the TV show are not exactly the same.

A mysterious and fantastic quest for the truth which reminded me of episodes of the Twilight Zone. But I couldn't help but continuously wonder, what if this happened to me? When all roads lead to a dead end, where do you go from there? A great, insightful and thought provoking story that was hard to step away from.
