Hello and welcome to this week’s Reading Roundup! I have one book to write about today. At the moment, I am reading an extremely long ebook, so long that I am not sure whether I will be able to finish it by next week’s post!

Anyway, here is the book that I have completed…

Wayward is the second part in Blake Crouch’s series, Wayward Pines. Some of you may remember that I discussed the first book, Pines, quite recently on the blog. This is the blurb:

“It’s the perfect town . . . as long as you don’t try to leave.Nestled amid picture-perfect mountains, the idyllic town of Wayward Pines is a modern-day Eden – at least at first glance.Except that within its fences, the residents are told where to work, how to live, and who to marry. None of them know how they got here. 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.As sheriff, Ethan Burke is tasked with enforcing the town’s laws, and he’s one of the few entrusted with the truth – even though, for all his knowledge, he’s as much a prisoner of Wayward Pines as anyone else.But when a murder investigation draws him deeper into the town’s inner workings, Ethan learns that its past is darker than even he suspected – and finds himself faced with an impossible choice.The second novel in Blake Crouch’s blockbuster series, Wayward delves deeper into the irresistible mysteries and horrors of this perfect little town, even as it asks what it means to live with secrets – and what price we’ll pay for the truth.”

I devoured this book! It only took me less than a couple of days to read as it was so gripping. This is my review from the Goodreads website…

Wayward by Blake Crouch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a great sequel to the first book and set things up nicely for the conclusion. As many other readers have already said, it is very difficult to write about the plot without giving too much away. I will say, though, that the book had surprising and interesting revelations and a nerve wracking plot.

The book seized my attention and imagination so much that I couldn’t stop reading and I finished it very quickly.

I am really looking forward to the final book, although I will have to wait in the library queue until mid-December!

Apologies for the short review, but it was impossible to write more without giving away multiple spoilers. I can’t wait to read the final part of the series!

It’s actually my birthday today, and I hope I can find some time later to read.

Happy Reading to you all!

Love and best wishes,

Anne
