i've been really enjoying this series so far, way more than i thought i would. the relationships between all the characters feel real and relatable and i felt sad for gwen when everyone was turning against her. her despair and fear always gets to me as if i'm going through it all right there with her. this was another compelling installment in the series and i'm curious to see where it goes from here!

Killman Creek starts off where the first book Stillhouse Lake ended. Gwen Proctor is on the run with her two children after her serial killer husband Melvin Royal breaks from jail. A lifetime ago Gwen Proctor was Gina Royal , a subdued , quiet meek housewife who had no idea that her husband was butchering innocent girls in their garage but Gwen is not Gina anymore and is ready to fight back. With the help of her friend Sam Cade and his FBI colleague Gwen decides to hunt Melvin down before he or any of his cronies hurt her or her kids.

I enjoyed the first book but I absolutely loved the second book. Rachel Caine did a wonderful job bringing forward Gwen’s intensity and her fierce desire to protect her kids at any cost. The book is narrated with different POV’s which gives us an insight to what all the characters are feeling. Some twists and turns and nonstop action makes it a great read for all suspense/thriller fans. I cannot wait for the next book in this series.

I would like to thank Thomas & Mercer& NetGalley for providing an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest and fair review.

I still enjoyed it but I don’t think I loved it as much as I did the first one.

I didn’t expect this one to be as good as Stillhouse Lake and it wasn’t. It was better. Stillhouse Lake was a fantastically written book and this one outdid itself for what I expected from a sequel. There were times I was snuggled in, reading, and times when my heart would skip a beat and I would be on edge for what was happening next. Rachel Caine is certainly one of my favorite authors with this series! Can’t wait to see what’s next for her. 😀
