Publisher's Summary

An Amazon Charts and USA Today bestseller.

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.

HOOKED FROM BEGINNING TO END.

I dont often write reviews but this one surprised me enough to let you all know how utterly I was entranced by this author. There was no slow lead up or "getting to know characters" that you may see with other books... from the start of the book she had you finding every second you could find to see what happens next. Believable and suspenseful with great character definition and not a cliche in sight.
Narrator did an good job and i enjoyed listening to her. No issues here and i read other reviews wondering why they marked the narrator badly??
It is the beginning of a series but the story itself does not leave me feeling that it is unfinished... just makes me look forward to more from Rachel Caine with this genre.
EXCELLENT BOOK, WELL WRITTEN
CLEAR AND EASY TO LISTEN TO NARRATOR.

Wow, just wow!

From the very beginning to the very last word, this book was suspenseful and thrilling. I haven't been this enthralled by a book ever. I'm on to the next book in the series now, and I wonder if Rachel Cane can top this one.

Brilliant

This is the best thriller I have read for a year. Tightly plotted. Twists well handled and it made me listen until the end. Can't wait for the next book by this author.

Simply brilliant!

Definitely the most "unputdownable" book that I have read in a long time! Well filled out characters, brilliant plot with unseen twists, and great writing. I recommend this book to anyone, but especially those who enjoy crime and psychological thrillers. I loved it!

A strog female protagonist fights against the worl

Loved it.
The story line is predictable, but overall 4/5 stars. A strong female protagonist that doesnt end up being saved by a man = win!
Predictable but entertaining.
