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.

<strong>Brilliant</strong>

This was a little something different from Rachel came and I loved it! If Bihar one small but bare was how much she kept repeatedly saying she was in hiding and some bits I thought were unnecessary. But saying that it was a really good book.
I was genuinely sickened by her husband and enjoyed the suspension. Although I did call Sam's role!

Kudos

Since I enjoyed Pleasure Unbound so much I thought I'd go straight into book 2 and read Shade's (Eidolon's brothers) story.

My hours at work have doubled recently so I'm not getting as much reading time in so it's taken me a while to finish this but I enjoyed it as much as the previous.

I grew to like Shade quite a lot in the first, he was very protective of his family and I was interested in who was going to be that special woman in his life. Once again, though, it isn't straight forward. Runa despises him after what ended up happening to her but you could see a connection still there between them as they share their prison cell.

I was very intrigued as to who had taken Shade, Runa and whoever else was in that cellar, hostage and the answer blew me away. I was not expecting that. They escape but not before getting mated and then the journey of their relationship really plays out.

The story arc that started in the first with Gem and Kynan continues in this one. It ratcheted up a few notches and I am interested to see where that goes. And of course, I want to see who the special lady is that brings Wraith to his knees.

Ordered book 3 and 4 so I can finish the series but not arrived yet. Can't wait to read more!
