The main reason I like this series is the way Caine pulls Gwen into the worst situations. Basically, the world goes to hell in a hand basket for Gwen and the kids. And these trolls have been getting closer and braver as time passes. Unfortunately, the huge host of Internet trolls think the Proctors don’t deserve that. But Gwen hopes things are under control and that they can stay in Stillhouse Lake. Which isn’t easy when you move and change names at the drop of the hat. She’s fierce as a mama lion and wants them to be safe but also to have a relatively normal life. Gwen is also protecting her young teen kids, Atlanta (Lanny) and Connor. And people just can’t believe she wasn’t involved, even though she was acquitted of charges leveled on her. Problem is, those crimes happened in his workshop-attached to their house. She’s the ex-wife of Melvin Royal, a convicted death row inmate who killed countless women in repulsive ways. Yes, she’s been on the run, but not because of her own criminal past. In the first book, Gwen moves to Stillhouse Lake, near the small town of Norton, TN after leaving a long string of other places. Rachel Caine and her main character Gwen Proctor know how to create tight-as-a-drum tension throughout this series based in rural Tennessee.
