Such a thrill ride!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was full of slow strong character building and wonderful thrilling plot twists. I love it when your never completely sure if the bad guys. Can't wait for more. ( )

Stillhouse Lake is an interesting study of wife and children of a serial killer. People often wonder how a person can live with someone and not know the evil that lurks within. Gina/Gwen is constantly moving with her children in fear of the stalkers who think she helped her husband with his murdering spree. I question some of the people she decides to trust but it is hard to say what we would do in the same situation. With my background being in Psychology I almost felt like I picked the story apart in my brain a little too much but I loved it!

The story is captivating; told in the first person point of view of Gina/Gwen the reader is in her head experiencing her fear, anger, disappointment, and strength. She questions how she is hurting her children with the constant moves and identity changes. There are a couple unexpected twists that add a lot to the enjoyment of the story. My major complaint is having a cliffhanger and a cliffhanger for a psychological thriller is a major disappointing. However, the story is a in-depth study of sorts with many questions answered within this book. I will read the next installment when available ( )

Lots of twist & turns with a good character layout. Gwen has to be on the run with her kids changing locations & identities to escape her serial killer husbands fans & people who think she was an accomplice & want her dead. ( )

I love that it’s available as read and listen on KU and I was able to fully immerse myself into this book.
The ending ( )

2.5 stars....a good premise (written from the POV of the family of a convicted serial killer) but let down badly by a very poor and unbelievable ending................ ( )
