I didn't originally intend to give Stillhouse Lake by Rachel Caine a standalone review. Don't get me wrong, I've enjoyed the book all along, I just wasn't blown away. And then I got to the final third of the book and what had been an enjoyable thriller turned into a fast-paced, can't-put-it-down pile of awesome.
Rachel Caine has a great series on her hands here, if she can sustain the pace. I'm not sure how I haven't heard of her before; it appears she's written a number of books, mostly series, so that bodes well for this one.
Gina Royal thought she had the perfect life. A fulfilled stay-at-home mom to 2 young children, she had no idea that her loving husband Mel was secretly a serial killer using the converted family garage to play out his grotesque fantasies. And that's where the story starts.
After Mel Royal's trial and incarceration Gina is trying to put the pieces back together living under an an assumed name with her children, constantly on the run from those who want to see her pay for ever having been foolish enough to be married to evil. She settles down as Gwen Proctor in a small community by Stillhouse Lake and slowly starts to trust those around her again. And then all hell breaks loose.
I can't wait for the next book in this series! Anyone who loves a good thriller will like this one a lot.
