Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Wayward

Part 2 really got this story going hard! Ethan, the main character, got fleshed out so much more in this portion. It felt like Blake Crouch took intense courses on character development when he prepped for book 2! Whatever he did, it helped flesh out book 2's cast compared to 1!

Y'ALL. This book! THIS BOOK! So freaking good! Ethan is "settling" into his role as the Sheriff, as much as anyone can with the threat that looms over them. His new task is to investigate a murder, and infiltrate a group of townies who have taken their chips out. There were so many more povs and it provided such insight and horror into different characters. I truly thought I couldn't despise Pilcher anymore, yet with each page I read my hate for him grew. At first I thought he might have one or two redeemable qualities, such as his love for his daughter and wife. BUT THEN YOU FIND OUT

HE KILLED THEM BOTH!!! He literally repeatedly stabbed his daughter and made her death very painful and long! AHHHHHHH!

When Tobias was introduced I feel like it was kinda obvious that he was

the man who had "spent time" with Theresa.

I am so curious about why he was sent away for so long, and to what purpose. (Considering Pilcher's resources, and drones, I have my theories) I was shocked and extremely disgusted that

Tobias basically "bought" the chance to be with Theresa. I was so horrified by that! I started really hating him and Pilcher even more at that point.

This is such a great read, a must read in the series for sure! I can't wait to read the last book!

I put this down for so long because I got super busy when I first started it, but I picked it back up again this morning (because I rewatched parts of the show the other day) and finished it in three or so hours. So quick and entertaining. One thing I will say is I hate the random sex scenes. Like usually I don’t have a problem with it but they seem random in a series like this.
