Wolfhunter River (Stillhouse Lake, #3)
Rachel Caine
A Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller. She can’t ignore a cry for help. But in this remote hunting town, it’s open season. Gwen Proctor escaped her serial-killer husband and saved her family. What she can’t seem to outrun is his notoriety. Or the sick internet vigilantes still seeking to avenge his crimes. For Gwen, hiding isn’t an option. Not when her only mission is to create a normal life for her kids. But now, a threatened woman has reached out. Marlene Crockett, from the remote town of Wolfhunter, is panicked for herself and her daughter. When Gwen arrives in the small, isolated rural community, Marlene is already dead—her own daughter blamed for the murder. Except that’s not the person Marlene feared at all. And Gwen isn’t leaving until she finds out who that was. But it may already be too late. A trap has been set. And it’s poised to snap shut on everyone Gwen loves. Her stalkers are closing in. And in a town as dark as Wolfhunter, it’s so easy for them to hide…

Another pretty good one, but still doesn't quite measure up to the first - if the first was primarily suspense and the second was horror, this would be action, which I simply don't care for as much. I do like that each book so far has had a different focus and the characters are continuing to show growth through each. I think focusing the prologue on Ellie White made me a little too impatient to get through the book to where she becomes relevant again, which did take quite a while. The ending was a good one to start to spin the series in a new direction, very curious to see in the next book if the original plot lines are continued at all or are more of an afterthought, and how successful either choice will be. I do suspect the series is moving away from centering Gwen's past seeing as in this book her only home threats were actually not towards her but rather Sam, and the massive potential crisis of being faced with a documentary (again, a plotline almost more to do with Sam) was averted and written out in a way I felt was too convenient and kind of lazy.
