Book Description:

Gina Royal is the definition of average - a shy Midwestern housewife with a happy marriage and two adorable children. But when a car accident reveals her husband's secret life as a serial killer, she must remake herself as Gwen Proctor - the ultimate warrior mom.

With her ex now in prison, Gwen has finally found refuge in a new home on remote Stillhouse Lake. Though still the target of stalkers and Internet trolls who think she had something to do with her husband's crimes, Gwen dares to think her kids can finally grow up in peace.

But just when she's starting to feel at ease in her new identity, a body turns up in the lake - and threatening letters start arriving from an all-too-familiar address. Gwen Proctor must keep friends close and enemies at bay to avoid being exposed - or watch her kids fall victim to a killer who takes pleasure in tormenting her. One thing is certain: she's learned how to fight evil. And she'll never stop.

My Opinion:

I loved reading about this woman's journey. Amazingly written and passionately portrayed. I was immersed from the beginning of this book till the end. I had to know what was going to happen and loved all the twists in this story. I loved it so much, I wasted no time in getting the second one in the series.

From the very beginning of her finding out what happened in her house, to the very last of the book's conclusion - I ate this book up. We are taken on the journey of Gwen and how she is escaping the circus that her husband has created under her nose. She truly had no idea what he did but the media/people/strangers don't care about that. They blame her and her children. She has learned to adapt and like any mother bear learned to protect her kids at all costs. Her children of course don't understand this and think they are safe, but they aren't.

This book makes you think Gwen is way to over protective, but that is not the case. She has every reason to be scared and prepared this whole book. You learn why they are on the run. I love that she is such a strong character and I applaud the author for this. There is nothing that I love more than a mother that you can relate to and stand behind in a book.

I really enjoyed the narrator and fell in love with her voice and I am looking forward to hearing the next in the series. I recommend this book for a fast paced thriller and mystery. This is a great read and I can give it a 5 star rating with pleasure! This is a must read!

I give this book 5 of 5 stars!

About the Author:
Rachel Caine's rich, diverse bibliography of more than 50 books in print covers many categories and genres. She started out writing horror and fantasy as Roxanne Longstreet (Stormriders, The Undead, Red Angel, Cold Kiss, Slow Burn) before switching to the name Roxanne Conrad and publishing romantic suspense and mystery (Copper Moon, Bridge of Shadows, Exile). By 2003, she began to publish under her current pseudonym, specializing in urban fantasy, science fiction, and paranormal young adult fiction. 

She has been writing original fiction since the age of fourteen, and professionally published since 1991. She graduated from Socorro High School in El Paso Texas (where she was a UIL all-state champion in music and journalism) and went on to earn an accounting degree from Texas Tech University. She played professionally as a musician for several years once out of college, but ultimately gave up the music for writing.

She's had a varied "day job" career, including web design, graphic arts, accounting, payroll management, insurance investigation, and (most recently) corporate communications and crisis management. (It all counts as research.)

Rachel loves reading, writing, and mild amounts of arithmetic when required ... but she has a special place in her heart for history, music, and science, and you'll find those themes in many of her works.
