Gwen Proctor won the battle to save her kids from her ex-husband, serial killer Melvin Royal, and his league of psychotic accomplices. But the war isn’t over. Not since Melvin broke out of prison. Not since she received a chilling text…
You’re not safe anywhere now.
Her refuge at Stillhouse Lake has become a trap. Gwen leaves her children in the protective custody of a fortified, well-armed neighbor. Now, with the help of Sam Cade, brother of one of Melvin’s victims, Gwen is going hunting. She’s learned how from one of the sickest killers alive.
But what she’s up against is beyond anything she feared—a sophisticated and savage mind game calculated to destroy her. As trust beyond her small circle of friends begins to vanish, Gwen has only fury and vengeance to believe in as she closes in on her prey. And sure as the night, one of them will die.

Even more creepy and chilling than the first instalment, Stillhouse Lake, which I loved!
Yet again I stayed up late to finish the second half of this book...same as book 1. I don't know what to say because I suck with the words and I don't want to give an accidental spoiler. I have no idea what the next ( and last? ) is about but I'm ready for it. Pity it's not out until next year.

WOW. The last 100 pages made me completely wrap up in a cocoon and I was unable to do anything until I finished the book. This was good, very good. I think the end wrapped up a BIT too fast. I would've like 1o-ish more pages but overall this was a great conclusion and a very exciting ride.
I picked this up because I really did enjoy the first book in the series. I am learning that I love Rachel Caine! I am pretty sure there isn't anything she would write that I wouldn't love. She has a great style with a perfect balance of drama, suspense, and awesome characters. This second book in the Stillhouse Lake series is as good as the first and a must-read for anyone who liked book 1. You learn more about the characters you want to keep reading just to see if and what the resolution will be all and all a great read.
