"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." -- Page [4] cover.… (more)

Thrilling

Even better the first! I love getting an in-depth look into the minds of each character. It makes the plot more suspenseful and emotional. This one had me guessing throughout about the real bad guys. ( )

I liked the first book but stopped this one part way through. I just didn’t like the direction some of the characters were going. ( )

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. ( )

#2 in the "Stillhouse" series. Gwen and Sam are on the trail of Melvin after his prison break. Delving deeper into Absalom and the dark web drags Gwen deeper into Melvin's clutches. Is the hunter becoming the hunted? Leaving the children with trusted friends, Gwen goes all in the find & eliminate the threat of Melvin and his evil cohorts. Betrayal, deceit, horror, and suspense round out the book. I would've gave it another star but I didn't like it when the story started exploring a gay lifestyle. Ruined the book for me because I'm sure it will be revisited in the next book ( )

Probably can’t stand alone… it is a part 2 of a thriller. Liked that this one was told from different perspectives but still think I liked #1 better ( )
