I watched Twin Peaks during a Netflix marathon last year. I may not have a nostalgic flavor to my fandom, but I was fascinated by the series and its brilliantly zany characters. With the plans for a new Twin Peaks series in the works, I've been hungry for similar stories. The Wayward Pines series...
I would give it a 3.5 if I could. Definitely a page turner that keeps you intrigued with the twists and turns. The story is told in fragments which was frustrating to me at several points (although I admit that this could also be partially attributed to reading on a kindle where the variation in ...
Espléndida continuación a un no menos espléndido arranque. Y tiene mérito, porque después del relato inicial parecía que la cosa iba a quedarse estancada en ese desenlace con sorpresa que cerraba el primer volumen y que parecía atrapar toda la historia en un más que digno final abierto.Veremos si...
There are so many reviews out there, so I’ll keep this one short.This was a much faster read vs. ‘Pines,’ and the action and pace made this one hard to put down. I read this one at night and over the weekend; tablet and phone when I had spare moments. For context, I usually read one on tablet or ...
Another wild ride with Blake. I read this around Christmas & was not put off by the desperate nature of the book. Rather, I was gripped by how in the world could this turn out right. (On many different levels!) I wasn't disappointed either. The author has the ability to shock & surprise. Especial...
Excelente final para una excelente trilogía. Acaba como tiene que terminar, cerrando el círculo y dejando todas las opciones abiertas de cara a una posible continuación de la historia (que espero que no llegue, este final es perfecto).Lo único que me intriga es saber qué estructura tendrá la seri...
Absolutely blew me away!I am a fan of Jack Kilborn (J.A. Konrath) but it was my first pleasant introduction to Blake Crouch.For those who know me, I am a massive horror fan. The grittier, sicker and gorier; the better!I like books that can shock me and make me screw my face up in disgust or horro...
A quick story that I finished in one sitting. This read more like alien-fiction than the haunted-house story that I expected. I enjoyed the writing (note: I read this in the Ultimate Supernatural Box Set and the story may have undergone editing). The narrative was very quick and to the point in t...

Even now, flurries blow in off the lake, drifting down like cold confetti. I wander away from the box, trying to temper my hope. This could be an abandoned power plant in South Chicago in any number of worlds. As I move slowly down the row of generators, a glint on the floor catches my eye. I app...
The thermometer read 95°F when I scrambled naked across the blistering ground to the well. I loathe that icy water. Feels just a few degrees above freezing, and it takes my breath as it spills over me. I washed as fast as I could, but by the time I’d rinsed all the soap from my body, I was shiver...

Even the hospital was destroyed, the top three floors sheared off. Ethan’s house in particular had seen the worst of it—crushed to pieces, the aspen trees in the backyard snapped in half and shoved through the windows. This architectural miniature of Wayward Pines had been...

It had begun before dawn.At 4:30 A.M., a jogger running down East Street noticed a pile of cardboard boxes stacked in the frosty grass of the Ellipse, close to the site of the national Christmas tree. Upon returning home, she called 911.By the time the police arrived, the Secret Service was alrea...
Oatha settled on one of the less rowdy saloons for his nightcap, pushing through the throng of revelers to get in line behind a man at a barstool nursing three brimming shots, the surface of the whiskies trembling from the vibration of bootstomps on floorboards. Hands grazed his shoulders and he...
I slip into these olive slacks and a baize button-up, so I’m looking pretty sharp. Since I’m not supposed to be at Columbia until 11:00, I drag the chair over to the window and sit down. It’s raining for what must be the first time in days, so I crack the window and let the cool damp air filter i...
