A review by esulzer
Wolfhunter River by Rachel Caine

5.0

I have to start by saying that I absolutely love this series. It always draws me in and I hate to put it down when I have to. This book has everything the first to had. The tension, emotion, and sense of urgency for protection of not only Gwen’s own life, but to a greater degree than ever before, the lives of her children and Sam.
This time we start with information about a child abduction and then are thrown into Gwen’s life. At first I was highly confused about the correlation between the two, but knew the question would be answered, and answered it was, later in the novel. Gwen has thrown herself into the spotlight, trying to clear her name even more so and to get her actual story out there. Except, she is blindsided and Miranda, a leader of The Lost Angels is there too and both Miranda and the talk-show host throw her under the bus. From there it is a downward spiral. Gwen loses control, or rather control in her eyes and runs back to her home in Stillwater.
When she returns home, more begins to happen included a snake and a film crew. It is only when the second urgent phone call comes, the second being from the daughter of the first, that Gwen agrees to leave (with kids and Sam in tow) to help solve the mystery at Wolfhunter River. Only, trouble follows Gwen like no other and they soon find themselves into trouble they couldn’t have imagined before.
This small town is the epitome of a one stoplight town and that only adds to the eeriness of the case Gwen now finds herself helping with, but always finds herself fighting for her life and the lives of all those around her.
This small town isn’t letting its deep dark secrets out and won’t give up without a fight, even if that means death.
But we know Gwen. Gwen is a fighter. Always a fighter. Even when the ending seems grim.
