Written by Rachel Caine this is the 4th book in her Stillhouse Lake series, following Gwen and her family as they navigate through moving beyond her ex-husband’s killer past.
First, I love Rachel Caine’s writing, absolutely love it. But, somehow, she made this novel even darker than her last. I believe a bit of time has passed between this novel and Wolfhunter River and the kids are a bit older than they were in that book. And this book goes off with a bang, literally. And, somehow, is even darker than the last book.
Like, I struggled with reading this, not because of the writing, but because it was a lot. There is a cult and kidnapping involved in this one. Which, now that I think about it, probably does put it on par with the 3rd book. But, still.
It was a lot.
But, if you have read the other 3 books, I think this one is still worth the read. If you are wanting a happy book, please, look elsewhere. Anywhere else.
