I am looking forward to the next book in this series to see where the author is going to take this story. There were a lot of issues involving the kids and others who seemed to turn on Gwen during this story that were not really dealt with, but there were reasons about why they did what they did given in the story. It was nice to have some closure regarding Melvin, he was such a terrible person. The story was well-paced, with the suspense building until the satisfying end. I also listened to this book and the various voice actors used for each POV added to the enjoyment of the story. I liked this difference as it helped develop the plot for me. Gwen’s POV makes up the majority of the story, but you get to see how the people closest to her feel about the situation. I enjoyed the story, but not as much as the first in the series. This story was different, it was told from various points of view (Gwen, Sam, Lanny, Connor and Sam Cade) and did not have the same suspense feel to it. The first book is excellent and ends in a cliff hanger, so I really wanted to find out what happened next. Killman Creek is the second book in the Stillhouse Lake series. Someone is playing a very intricate game designed to destroy her entire life and make those closest to her believe she is guilty. With the help of Sam, she leaves her two children with two people she can trust and goes hunting Melvin. Her new identity has been leaked and she decides it is time to go on the offensive.
