Rachel's third book in the series lacks the realism of the first and second--especially in it's conclusion-- but it is still a terrific story!  Two more to go, and I'm fully committed to the four main characters now, thanks to Rachel's skill in developing them into a family of courage, loyalty, love, and an unwavering commitment to do what is right.

After two books of the mysterious internet troll antagonist, and everyone around her not believing/trusting her again and again, I could not keep buying in/giving the book the benefit of the doubt that it would start to feel realistic.

I'm not sure what happened, to be honest, my mind kept wandering. This book online the previous 2 didn't hold my attention. I will try to read the next in the series but this one left me thinking maybe it should have ended at Killman Creek. I will give it a week before hoping into the next one.

It's really a 4.5. Again it's one I couldn't put down, but it veered in a couple of directions that confused me a bit, and as I know there's another book, I'm going to see what that one is like. I hope it doesn't become what I think its going to. Still, enjoyable, well written, face paced and I had to read it all on one sitting.

This was my least favourite instalment of the Stillhouse Lake series, which, after reading this, really should've ended as a duology. I guess Rachel Caine is going to try her hardest to keep this series ongoing for as long as she can due to its success, which is incredibly disappointing. Sometimes it's better to quit while you're ahead, and I hate seeing a story I originally loved get dragged out like this.

In the last book, we saw Gwen escape from death and finally put an end to Melvin Royal, her sadistic and murderous ex-husband who escaped from prison. In this book, we see Caine creating over-the-top scenarios for Gwen, Sam, and the kids to get involved with since their story died with Melvin in the last book.

The four of them- Gwen, Sam, Lanny, and Connor- should really just pack up and move to a town that isn't named after a body of water, since those seem to bring trouble.

If you like unbelievable scenes, big conspiracies, and a lot of dragged-out action, read this. If not, you're probably better of skipping it.
