Sinossi
Un grande thriller
La sua casa non è più un rifugio, ma una trappola
Gwen Proctor ha vinto la battaglia per proteggere i suoi figli dall’ex marito, il serial killer Melvin Royal, e dai suoi psicopatici complici. Ma la guerra non è ancora finita. Melvin è evaso dalla prigione e Gwen ha ricevuto un messaggio inquietante: “Non sei più al sicuro da nessuna parte”. La sua casa sul lago non è un rifugio, ma una trappola. Così Gwen lascia i bambini sotto la protezione di un marine in pensione e, insieme a Sam Cade, il fratello di una delle vittime di Melvin, comincia la caccia. La sua preda è uno dei killer più sadici in circolazione. Ma la sfida supera anche le sue peggiori paure. La fiducia verso chi la circonda comincia presto a svanire, e Gwen può aggrapparsi solo alla rabbia e al desiderio di vendetta. Lo scontro con Melvin si avvicina. E stavolta soltanto uno di loro potrà sopravvivere.

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 stairs of the motel to the second floor's open walkway. Blink, and he's outside the door. Listening. Going into Killman Creek - the sequel to Stillhouse Lake - I wasn't tha Leggi tutto
My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr... This is the second book in the “ Stillhouse Lake” series by Rachel Caine. I really enjoyed the first novel.

Killman Creek by Rachel Caine is a 2017 Thomas & Mercer publication. This book is the follow up novel to Stillhouse Lake .

Another solid installment in the series. I’ll admit I was wary to pick this one up at first; I thought Stillhouse Lake worked well as a stand alone novel and was concerned that the “chasing the bad guy while also on the run” plot would wear thin. However, Killman Creek was everything I wanted it to Leggi tutto

4.75 Nerve-Wracking Riveting Stars* (rounded up). In “Killman Creek” the sequel to “Stillhouse Lake” Gwen Proctor and her two kids, Lanny, Connor and Sam Cade are back. They survived that harrowing ordeal, barely. Unfortunately, for them, it’s not over. But we knew it wouldn’t be, right? And this tim Leggi tutto
A continuation of the Stillhouse Lake series. In this book Melvin has escaped from prison and is coming after his family. It's different from the first book in that each chapter is seen from the different point of view of four characters, which gives an interesting look into each of their mindsets.
