by Blake Crouch I admit I wanted to read this because I enjoyed The Pines so much. Abandon is a ghost town with a mystery; where did everybody go? On Christmas Day 1893, the whole population of the town just disappeared without trace. Scroll ahead to modern day, and a group that includes two par...
Wind rips through the crags a thousand feet above, nothing moving in this godforsaken town, and the mule skinner knows that something is wrong. - first sentence Okay, so the first thing I need to say is that I loved the Wayward Pines series. I thought I would love anything by Crouch. When I sta...
The mystery regarding what happened to the inhabitants of Abandon mining community a hundred years ago, is one that is yet to be solved. The mining community just suddenly disappeared on Christmas day, leaving all their worldly goods with no evidence as to what happened to them. Two guides are hired...
Going into this, I thought it was going to be a paranormal horror story but it really wasn't that at all. It's actually more along the line of a mystery/thriller. The paranormal aspect was a very small part of it and almost like an afterthought that wasn't followed through with. It's written as two ...
Christmas Eve. A whole village disappears. 120 years later some people return to Abandon to find out what happened but they are not alone. I thought the premise was really good.

This one just didn't do it for me. It was a little too Scooby-Doo at times and I couldn't take it seriously. If Shaggy made a cameo and bit into a hash brownie it wouldn't have phased me.
I like the story within a story and the action was very tense and fast paced. I like the non Hollywood ending also. Could have done without all the cursing and the story would have been just as enjoyable.
This was a good story. The ending was a little bit but predictable, but still well worth the read. I read the book a bit ago and totally forgot that I read it, so it wasn't one that made a huge bang in my reading mind like so many books have done.
