Review: Killman Creek by Rachel Caine

I loved the first book in the series and looked forward to this one.  I enjoyed it even more than the first.  

Gwen Proctor knew it wasn't over after the confrontation with her ex's accomplices in the last book, but now she is determined:  no more running.  Her ex has escaped from prison and she knows the fear will never end until he is dead, so she decides to fight.

Only Melvin Royal is a very sick man and obsessed with the family running from him.  He wants to punish Gwen and torture her and kill her like his victims.  He wants to turn his son into a monster like him.

Gwen's life gets even more difficult when doctored video shows up making her look like a willing accomplice to her serial killer ex-husband, turning her allies and her family against her.

Only she won't give up to save her family.

This books is action packed and dark.  It is about survival and a mother's love and is emotionally a roller coaster with lots of satisfaction rolled in.

This is probably my favorite book of the year.

I will say - this is not a stand alone - it is important to read the first book - Stillhouse Lake - first!
