SUMMARY
Gwen Proctor’s just received a text. YOU ARE NOT SAFE ANYWHERE it said. Her ex-husband, psycho-killer Melvin Royal, had broken out of prison twelve days ago. This shadow of a man is coming after her and her children. But instead of cowering any longer with her two children in a mid-priced hotel, she is going after him. She is going to hunt him down and finally put an end to their fear, and the campaign of terror he and his followers have waged against them. Gwen leaves her children, Lanny and Conner, with well-armed friends that she hopes are capable of protecting them. With the help of Sam Cade, the brother of one of Melvin victims, Gwen embarks on the hunt for a monster. As she and Sam begin to uncover a trail of Melvin’s followers, her world turns upside down. Video surfaces, calling into question Gwen’s innocence in Melvin’s escapades. As trust among her small circle of friends vanishes, Gwen at a loss, is left with nothing but anger and vengeance, and she’ll do whatever it takes to protect her children.
REVIEW
“Melvin Royal stalks me in the brief darkness when I close my eyes. Blink and he’s on the street. Blink and he’s walking up the stair to the motel’s second floor open walkway. Blink and he’s outside the door, listening.” You can feel the fear in Gwen’s thoughts. The fear is there always, every minute of every day, and on every page of this haunting tale. KILLMAN CREEK is an intense read. It’s a gripping thriller that will have you hiding under the covers. Gwen’s character is amazing, she is both strong and yet vulnerable, fearless and yet scared. And you’ll find yourself hoping she survives the hunt.
KILLMAN CREEK is the sequel to RACHEL CAINE’s bestseller, Stillhouse Lake, and it is every bit as good as the first. While you could read KILLMAN CREEK by itself, why would you want to? It’s so much better if you read Stillhouse Lake first. Jump on board while the series is new. RACHEL CAINE is an amazing and skillful author, and I’m hoping to read more from her in the future.
