Pines by Blake Crouch
4.0

“Perfection was a surface thing. The epidermis. Cut a few layers deep, you begin to see some darker shades. Cut to the bone—pitch black.”

4/5

This was one of the craziest things I've ever read, I'll be honest. I definitely found myself reading until the end trying to figure out what was going on. And I didn't guess the ending, which is not typical for mystery thrillers for me.

The one thing I will say is that I don't understand why this needs to be a trilogy, I think it could've ended with the first one and it would've been fine. I'm sure I'll eventually carry on with the series, but I'm not dying to read the next one.
