I really miss the characters from the first three books. I don't care about any of the new characters, and there are so many of them. ( )

I've heard a lot about the original trilogy and will have to go back and read it. But I figured since that was essentially spoiled for me, I would start with the new trilogy and see if it was worth digging into. It is. This is some pretty interesting suspense writing. The first person narrative really works as an audio book and the narrator is first rate. I will be sticking around for the next two episodes and will probably go back and read the first three. ( )

This book takes place a year after the last book. John continues to struggle with who he is and for the most part figures out what he wants/needs to do.

I like that, even though this is a series, that every book has an ending that's satisfactory and you could just stop and be fine not continuing, but also leaves it ever so slightly open for a continuation to take place. Not that I would ever stop reading anything Dan Wells writes. I think he may be one of my favorite new (to me) authors. I've yet to read anything by him that is not this series, but I'm planning to change that soon. ( )

This series just keeps getting better and better with each book. Dan Wells is another awesome author and writes this genre and series really well.
I remember after reading the first book in this series, I couldn't handle it and didn't want to read anymore because of how creepy it was thinking about your next-door neighbor that could be the crazy psycho on the loose. Then because I couldn't stop thinking about the book, I had to know what happened next so here I am almost done with this series and I don't want it to end.
He is good at writing this psychological suspense and such that can mess with your head, scare you and suck you in and not let you go until you know what happens and all the answers.
The thing that I come back to a lot with this series is how well he writes this so it creeps me out and yet uses little to no violence, gore, swearing, and such because clean reads are always a bonus and clean reads that creep me out like this are rare.
If you haven't checked out books by Dan Wells, you really should cause you're missing out. ( )

I bought this book on sale two years ago, because the beginning is perfect, and it's waited patiently until I caught up with the series. There are some TWISTY twists and turns, and I can't guess where Dan Wells is taking us. Good thing I have the next two books! ( )
