And that if nobody else stands for the missing, she will. But as she draws closer to answers, she realizes that the foundation of her seemingly normal town might be rotten at the center. So when Lauren has a vision of a monster dragging the remains of the girls through the woods, she knows she can’t just do nothing. Even her best friend, Miranda, has become more interested in boys than in spending time at the old ghost tree, the way they used to when they were kids. After all, the year before her father’s body was found with his heart missing, and since then everyone has moved on. When the bodies of two girls are found torn apart in the town of Smiths Hollow, Lauren is surprised, but she also expects that the police won’t find the killer. When people go missing in the sleepy town of Smith’s Hollow, the only clue to their fate comes when a teenager starts having terrifying visions, in a chilling horror novel from national bestselling author Christina Henry. What do you think? Have you read these books or seen the TV adaptation? This could be another series to add to my goals list for 2021! What is going on in this town? Why is it cut off? I love how sinister (and potentially King-like) the plots sound, and I’ve really been looking forward to reading the books.

The Wayward Pines books sound eerie and mysterious. I never watched the Wayward Pines series while it was on TV (two seasons) and was only vaguely aware of it, but after reading Blake Crouch’s fabulous Dark Matter in 2016, I knew I needed to read more by this author. I grabbed the entire trilogy during a Kindle price drop a few years ago. WHY CAN’T HE MAKE CONTACT WITH HIS FAMILY IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD? WHY DOESN’T ANYONE BELIEVE HE IS WHO HE SAYS HE IS? AND WHAT’S THE PURPOSE OF THE ELECTRIFIED FENCES ENCIRCLING THE TOWN? ARE THEY KEEPING THE RESIDENTS IN? OR SOMETHING ELSE OUT?Įach step toward the truth takes Ethan further from the world he knows, until he must face a horrifying fact-he may never get out of Wayward Pines alive….

As days pass, Ethan’s investigation into his colleagues’ disappearance turns up more questions than answers The medical staff seems friendly enough, but sometimes feels…off. After a violent accident lands him in the hospital, Ethan comes to with no ID and no cell phone. Secret Service agent Ethan Burke arrives in search of two missing federal agents, yet soon is facing much more than he bargained for. Wayward Pines, Idaho, is quintessential small-town America–or so it seems.
