Rachel Caine
A #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller. Every time Gwen closed her eyes, she saw him in her nightmares. Now her eyes are open, and he's not going away. Gwen Proctor won the battle to save her kids from her ex-husband, serial killer Melvin Royal, and his league of psychotic accomplices. But the war isn't over. Not since Melvin broke out of prison. Not since she received a chilling text... You're not safe anywhere now. Her refuge at Stillhouse Lake has become a trap. Gwen leaves her children in the protective custody of a fortified, well-armed neighbor. Now, with the help of Sam Cade, brother of one of Melvin's victims, Gwen is going hunting. She's learned how from one of the sickest killers alive. But what she's up against is beyond anything she feared--a sophisticated and savage mind game calculated to destroy her. As trust beyond her small circle of friends begins to vanish, Gwen has only fury and vengeance to believe in as she closes in on her prey. And sure as the night, one of them will die.

"3.5⭐<br/><br/>Stillhouse Lake is a fast-paced and intriguing novel, and Killman Creek is more of a slow burn. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's kind of like the thriller version of the journeying parts of Deathly Hallows. A lot of time is spent moving around and waiting, and many people don't mind that, but it wasn't what I expected after Stillhouse Lake. <br/><br/>I still enjoyed the general storyline. I like hearing about Gwen, and she's an intriguing character. Her storyline in this one just drew kind of close to another popular crime novel. Maybe I've been reading too much crime fiction recently; I don't know. <br/><br/>It felt sort of anti-climactic, and I didn't find a lot of it to be believable. There were a couple plot points that seemed to have unrealistic answers. I wasn't a huge fan of the story being told in multiple POVs, but I understand why it happened. I still think everyone should finish the duology, but just adjust your expectations so you know that it's very different from Stillhouse Lake. Thank you to Amazon Publishing for sending me a copy!<br/><br/>**Just found out that there will be a third book. I will still be reading it.**"

"Totally worth it in the end. I’m satisfied. I’m glad that it flowed the way it did, even if it did keep me on edge. After this one though, im unsure if I want to continue the series. Great book!"

"Whew, I think I’m still sweating a bit from that race to the finish. Talk about an explosive ending! I was really worried that the story was going to end on a cliffhanger (there is a 3rd book in the series coming out this Dec) because I kept getting closer to 100% complete without everything getting resolved, but it all got cleaned up in the nick of time. I am actually eager to see what’s next, but I really appreciate that I don’t have to stress about these characters for 9 months. Another great story, I’m loving Gwen, she’s such a badass!"

"Another amazing book from Rachel Caine! Not quite as good as the first book (Stillhouse Lake) but a very close second! I’d give it a 4.5/5 rating!"
