Wolfhunter River (Stillhouse Lake, #3)

by Rachel Caine

Gwen Proctor formly Gina Royal was married and had two children with a serial killer until the ugly truth was revealed. Gina herself was accused and acquitted of being an accessory to her husbands heinous crimes but that hasn’t stopped victims and extremists from coming after her. They weren’t even safe from her ex-husband who was safely behind bars. If you haven’t read the first two books go grab them on eBook, from Kindle Unlimited or on Audible.

After the events of the previous books you would think things would settle down. Gwen has made the decision to remain at Stillhouse Lake. When a call comes from a woman in Wolfhunter, TN who asks Gwen to help her, she ignores it, until the woman’s daughter calls back while sitting over her mother’s dead body. Something is hinky in Wolfhunter and it might just cost them all.

O. M. G. talk about nail-biting suspense, intense action scenes and diabolical twists! Sure, some of it was statistically impossible but I was all in. I didn’t even cringe when reading about the good ole’ boys police department and corruption. Caine made me believe as she carefully weaved all of the story threads into this explosive tale.

We learn about Sam, the victim’s families, and more as Caine continues to showcase the power of the internet, rumors, and conspiracies. While her husband may be dead he is far from done with her.

The story is delivered from the POVs of Gwen, Sam, Lanny, and Connor. Each has their own narrator. I thought this worked well from a listening standpoint. Not only did if give them a unique voice it helped intensify the often intense story.

The narrators were Lauren Ezzo, Will Ropp, Emily Sutton-Smith, Don John Miller. They have all become the voices of these characters and I was glad to see them back. This review was originally posted at Caffeinated Reviewer
