Incrível! Seguiu o padrão de excelência do primeiro e fechou maravilhosamente esse arco - a ponto de me deixar receosa de prosseguir leitura dos outros.
Não sou tão fã de tantos POV - e o do Sam foi seco demais e o das crianças desesperado demais para eu realmente gostar, mas entendo que foram importantes
Enfim, 5 estrelas com certeza.

tanto pra descrever outros arcos, uma vez que esse livro teve sua ação mais descentralizada, quanto pra vermos o arrependimento de cada um que não acreditou na inocência da Gwen - o que me indignou muitíssimo porque essa desconfiança colocou ela num verdadeiro pesadelo, tanto psicológico quanto real, e a eles tambem, e ainda assim ela que salvou todo mundo e a porra toda pra variar.Enfim, 5 estrelas com certeza.

*I received a free copy of Killman Creek. This has in no way influenced my voluntary review which is honest and unbiased.*
Killman Creek was even better than Stillhouse Lake - which I didn't think was possible! It was creepier. The stakes were higher. And I absolutely loved the different points of view. It was a deeply disturbing read - but at the same time, it was very fulfilling. And I loved Gwen so much! The way she was always willing to give more than she had in reserve to keep the people she loved safe. She would sacrifice herself in order to make things right.

Book 1 was left on a cliffhanger and this one picked up right where we were left and I was instantly hooked again.
This book introduces chapters from different perspectives so we get to know more of characters on a different level which I’ve enjoyed. After reading this instalment of the series, I feel like the first was really just setting up the plot for the rest of the series and more of drama and intense feelings came from this book.
I’m looking forward to seeing what book 3 brings!

I absolutely devoured this. I’m so glad this book had a happy ending but I was on the edge of my seat the entire time!

Rachel Caine writes her stories in a way that is realistic to the scenarios she's created. Rather than several close calls where our favorite characters are almost caught or almost hurt, she makes us worry. It makes for a more suspenseful story and I love that about her writing. No one is so important to the story that they can dodge all harm.
Killman Creek was a great followup to Stillhouse Lake. As a mom, I pay close attention to the relationships between Gwen and her kids. Caine does a VERY good job portraying that mama bear instinct mothers have for their kiddos.
At times I was scared, I was sad, definitely worried, and the roller coaster of all the emotions was well worth it.
