Seeing Gwen through the eyes of Sam, Lanny and Connor, feeling their doubt over her trustworthiness, was a big part of this book. I'm not usually a fan of multiple perspectives, especially more than two, but it worked well here. Killman Creek differs from the first in that it is more action-packed, more full of pulse-pounding moments of terror, and there are four perspectives. In many ways, it's a horrible book full of moments that made me feel furious and sad and helpless. I did not imagine how dark this book would become. I really enjoyed the first book but I figured, given how things were left at the end, this sequel would be a standard game of cat and mouse until eventually the bad guy was caught and everyone lived happily ever after. Going into Killman Creek - the sequel to Stillhouse Lake - I wasn't that excited about it. Blink, and he's walking up the stairs of the motel to the second floor's open walkway. Melvin Royal stalks me in the brief darkness when I close my eyes.
