Pines by Blake Crouch
4.0

This book got me out of a slump, so yay for that! I think it was the short choppy writing style which is very easy to read. However there were times where there would be 4-5 very short sentences, one per line, and they got a bit annoying sometimes. I feel like his writing is much better in his latest works.

I REALLY liked the first part, and then when the action really got going, it lost me for a while. It was almost too over the top and a bit ridiculous how much the main character could withstand.

My wild theories of what was happening were way off, but I enjoyed the X Files vibes and I had a good time reading it. At first, I couldn’t see how this should be a series, but the big reveal has me very interested to read more.
