Where the Drowned Girls Go is the seventh book in the Wayward Pines series. While the majority of books in the series are stand-alone, this one is not. The story is one of the nexus books in the series, bringing together several storylines back into a unified narration. 

 

In this novella, we go to the Whitethorn Institute. It is a school for Wayward Children that is the less free-spirited cousin of The Home for Wayward Children. The institute is not as it seems, and it is up to Cora to become the hero of the story. 

 

Honestly, I thought I would like this story more than I did. There was nothing wrong with it, I just felt like the actual climax of the story was a bit rushed. There were also so many characters that If let like I should have reread the series before reading this book. I am positive that I will enjoy it, even more, when I do reread the series. 

 

It is nice to see new stories being uncovered in this series. There is so much more that could happen based on the ending of this book. So, I am excited to see what happens next. That being said, I do think before I pick up the eight books I should marathon the series again.
