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.

This was not nearly as good as the first book. The author writes from the POV of Gwen very well & the plot is there, but the sections written from other POVs, especially Sam & Connor feel contrived & stereotypical. Sam's character had been a mystery, stoic, with complexity that has been teased at in the first book. By writing from his view for parts of this book his character devolves into a modern cliché of a knight in shining armor protecting his lady mixed with his best bud a cop. The struggle Conner goes through is a great plot point and very believable for the age, but again, the way it's written & delivered just falls flat with over explanation.
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.
