Rachel Caine
An Amazon Charts and USA Today bestseller. Gina Royal is the definition of average--a shy Midwestern housewife with a happy marriage and two adorable children. But when a car accident reveals her husband's secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor--the ultimate warrior mom. With her ex now in prison, Gwen has finally found refuge in a new home on remote Stillhouse Lake. Though still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband's crimes, Gwen dares to think her kids can finally grow up in peace. But just when she's starting to feel at ease in her new identity, a body turns up in the lake--and threatening letters start arriving from an all-too-familiar address. Gwen Proctor must keep friends close and enemies at bay to avoid being exposed--or watch her kids fall victim to a killer who takes pleasure in tormenting her. One thing is certain: she's learned how to fight evil. And she'll never stop.

"I don’t want to discourage anyone from reading this. The story is very good, it was so well written, and it totally drew me in. But I was bored the whole time. I read the last three chapters in one sitting just to be finished with it. It is a series, which I didn’t know when I bought it, and I hate series’s. I just want my story done and over. "
"I read this book over two sittings and IT WAS SO GOOD. I knew I was going to like it, but I really loved it. It's dark, suspenseful, gruesome, and just some damn good storytelling overall. <br/><br/>I am so impressed with Rachel Caine's ability to excel in multiple genres. I adore her Great Library series, but it's so different from this that I honestly couldn't tell it was the same author. She is incredibly talented. <br/><br/>I am so excited that this book will be a series. I really liked the characters and the setting. Gwen makes mistakes, but she is powerful and headstrong. I thought the killer was going to be someone different, and I still really like my idea, but the resolution is acceptable. I wish there would have been more information, but I assume that will come in the next book. I think this book could have been longer to give more depth to certain aspects. This book is really a 4.5⭐ for me because of how abrupt the ending is. I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars because I loved the book so much. <br/><br/>Stillhouse Lake has the same vibe as Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter. Pretty Girls was gorier, but I think if you enjoyed that book, you'll like Stillhouse Lake. I can't believe I have to wait until December for Killman Creek!"
"Good read. "
