Satisfying and well plotted. I was drawn to the main character and found myself thinking about it at odd moments during the day

(I received a free copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.)

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.

Well, okay, that escalated quickly!!

Usually I find the second book in a trilogy to be the "quiet one" - you know, the book that pretty much spends its entire life setting up the final story in the trilogy.

This is not that kind of book.

This goes straight for your jugular and keeps at you for the whole 300 pages. It is an excellent example of how to keep a trilogy interesting and exciting, as well as doing the ground work for book 3. I commend the author for that.

As for the plot...go read it for yourself!
