Pines by Blake Crouch - ★★★★

This is for the psychological thriller tag! :)

I'll admit that I'm a huge sucker for creepy little towns where things aren't exactly as they seem, which is why this book seemed so intriguing. But I literally could not put it down. I stayed awake in bed just racing through it all in one night because it was so stressful and I needed to know what was going to happen next. Everything was so creepy and I was just like WHAT THE FUCK the whole time.

I just wish it had had a bit more character development instead of just nonstop action, since it did get too action-y sometimes and just felt like a litany of what the main character was doing at each moment, which works in movies, but I prefer my books with a bit more internal dialogue.

Ooooh! I read Dark Matter by Crouch and loved it, so this is going on my TBR list.

I'm about to start reading Dark Matter! I have high hopes for it. :)

Added to my TBR for the same reason as Ladyslott!
I have a feeling I'm going to be a Crouch fangirl.

I really want to read this one. One of my IRL friends read it and loved it and thinks I will too. Like Linda, I loved Dark Matter, so I definitely have more Crouch on my TBR now.

Is this the one that the TV series is based on. I read Dark Matter in Nov, so I'm also looking to see other things fro him. My husband and I taped the first season, but we didn't watch it right away and so we deleted it.
