Tuesday Series: Killman Creek by Rachel Caine

   



Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!



 
   Killman Creek is written by Rachel Caine and is published by Thomas and Mercer Publishers, an Amazon.com imprint. The story picks up days after the events of Stillhouse Lake. Gwen and her children are once again on the run. Gwen decides to leave Connor and Lanny with her allies Javier Esparza and Kezia Claremont. With the help of the returning Sam Cade, Gwen sets out to find more information that leads her to her ex-husband. But the road to finding Melvin is paved with digital landmines set by her hacker rival, Absalom. 
  
   New evidence arises that implicates Gwen in Melvin's crimes, sending Gwen on a spiral downward. She begins losing the faith of those who believe in her, and soon Gwen is alone against Melvin. What dangerous secret does Gwen's son, Connor, hold? And what horrors await Gwen at Killman Creek?  It’s a race against the clock to answer these questions and more.

   Rachel Caine's narrative often tests our sanity, throwing us into her characters' endless quicksand of danger. Just when you have solved a certain plot point, Caine casually tells the reader just how wrong they are. No one is safe from being a suspect in this thriller, which elevates the tension to higher heights. Killman Creek takes the suspense and jeopardy of the first novel and cranks it up to a boiling point, leading up to an explosive finale.


  I read this in part with the audiobook narrated by Emily-Sutton Smith (returning as Gwen), Lauren Ezzo (as Lanny), Will Ropp (as Connor), and Dan John Miller (as Sam Cade). The foursome integrates seamlessly bringing the listener a very distinct and cohesive presentation. Even when I did not use the physical novel, I knew exactly which character was being represented. The narrators all did a wonderful job setting the pace of terror, thrills, and adventure. 


  I have to give Killman Creek five out of five stars. This novel was a terrifying journey that had me reading any chance I could get. If you loved Stillhouse Lake, you will find this installment will not be disappointing.
