Curriculum
Broke, unemployed, and on the verge of suicide, school psychologist Cara Vasile makes a deal she hopes will lead her to a new life. In Wayward Pines, she finds herself a believer in the vision the brilliant David Pilcher has brought to life; the beautiful, idyllic town, the sense of community, the power to begin again.
Soon the facade of perfection begins to crumble, and Cara is forced to struggle for life, for herself, and for the woman she loves.
But there is no tolerance for diversity in Wayward Pines.

Intriguing story!
I really liked the slow burn between Cara and Megan. The book really held my attention and became explosive near the end! The twist to the end worked very well. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

What a perfect addition to the Waywards Pines trilogy! This particular book takes place before Ethan shows up in Wayward Pines. Some characters backstories become clearer and could have easily been written by Blake Crouch himself! A must read for any Wayward Pines reader and fan!

Gripping-Well written
Well worth your time. Suspenseful, with your favorite characters flushed out. Lots of back story. Wonderful how these books keep adding to the plot line.

Interesting Dystopia
I enjoyed the story and thought the characters were interesting. I would have liked more information on the Abbies and felt there were a few gaps in the plot and character development. It seemed the author sacrificed character traits in order to get a moral across. I had a hard time accepting the characters would perform some of the actions in the story based on their personality but if they didn't perform the author's moral agenda would suffer. The story seemed like it should benefit from being a series to allow more development of the story line.

Sadly I knew how it's gonna end from the very first pages where it got clear that Cara...Unlike the original series, where you literally didn't know what was coming next. Here the road was very clear. The writing was not bad, however the novella had quite a few spelling mistakes.
Not a bad effort, suspenseful enough. 3.5 stars.
