This book ruined the whole Wayward Pines series! The story line went so far off track!! So confusing! Leaves so many loose ends! Bryan Higby did you just have another idea of a book you wanted to write and got lazy and combined your ideas into this story? I couldn't wait to finish it!!! I was hoping to learn where you were going with the story Iine so I kept reading. Total waste of my time. I should h ave deleted it from my kids kindle immediately!!
