Stillhouse Lake
by Rachel Caine
This book blew me away, and I ate up every single line.
The book picks up quick with Gina Royal coming home after picking up her kids from school on a average day, that drunk driver had crashed into their garage....revealing a mutilated dead body. She is immediately placed under arrest, and we find out her husband was a serial killer.
After the first chapter, the book jumped ahead to the future, where Gina, now Gwen Proctor, has moved with her kids multiple times, and changed their identity multiple times, and been on the run from the public who still sees her as her now ex-husbands accomplice to the murders.
She had bought an old run down house by a lake in Tennessee to try and give her kids a semblance of a normal life, and hoped to hide from the public for longer than a few months. Her plans to stay quickly changed after they found two bodies floating in the water near the docks outside of her house. The eerie thing was that they both had been mutilated and "hidden" just like her ex used to do.
Gwen must then figure out if she is going to flee and rip the new life and friends from her kids again, or stay and fight.
I wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did, but I'm glad I picked it up! My heart was breaking for Gwen and her kids each time they asked about their dad, or someone threatened them. I didn't see the cliff hanger coming, and I can't wait to read the next one!
