You can run but you can't hide from death. When a fisherwoman reports seeing a local young woman potentially assaulted or abducted, Shadow Island Sheriff Rebecca Wests heart constricts. The disappearance of three other girls in the span of a week cant be a coincidence. But other than being about the same age, everything else about the girls and their mysterious disappearances are inconsistent. Besides, since all are legal adults with no jobs but plenty of nice things, its entirely possible they just took off on an impromptu vacation. Except none of the girls took their car. And no one is answering their phone. Now, Rebeccas intuition is tingling because the young women do seem to have one thing in common. The Yacht Club. When the body of one of the girls is discovered, Rebecca vows to track down the killer before they claim their next victim. She should be campaigning to keep her position as Shadow Islands sheriff. But the elite and depraved Yacht Club has been preying on the girls of Shadow Island for far too long, and no one has been willing to do anything about it. Until now.

Shadow Island is under siege. Just a few short months ago, Sheriff Rebecca West thought her toughest battles were behind her. But nothing could have prepared her for the turmoil shes faced since coming to Shadow Island. Attempts on her life. Heartbreak. Betrayal. And thats just the beginning. The worst is yet to come. Still reeling from the shocking discovery of whos behind Shadow Islands exclusive and depraved "mens" club, Rebecca is determined to take them down. Theres only one problem. One by one, the members end up dead. Tongues cut out, hands chopped offthe message is clear... Dead witnesses cant talk. Now everyone is a potential victim. Is there a traitor in the clubs midst? An accomplice turned executioner? Or is the Yacht Club killing its own members rather than risking the police questioning them? As the desperation of the masterminds behind the Yacht Club increases, so does the body count. In her relentless pursuit of the truth, Rebecca risks unraveling not just the secrets of the Yacht Club, but the very fabric of her own heart. Shadows Siege, the tensely climactic fifteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is a chilling reminder that just when you think things cant get worse, they do.

Death is only the beginning. Shadow Island is a wreck. Buildings lay in rubble, construction crews swarm the island, and the aftermath of the Yacht Club Massacre has left many dead. But at least Sheriff Rebecca West put an end to the violence against young girls by dismantling the elite mens club. Or so she thought. When a teenage girl is found stabbed and half-buried in a makeshift grave at the local cemetery, her arms carved with occult symbols, whispers of dark rituals and black magic spread through the community. The victims friends insist she died from the legendary witchs curse. But when a second girl is violently murdered, Rebecca fears a far more sinisterand humanthreat. Unfortunately, the witchs curse isnt the only myth refusing to stay buried. And the teens corpse only scratches the surface of the horrors lurking beneath the cemetery. Shadows Fate, the bewitching sixteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is a testament that there are, indeed, fates worse than death.

Ice cream, you screamWelcome to my murder scene. Sheriff Rebecca West and her team may have ended the Yacht Club's debauched reign, but things on Shadow Island haven't calmed down. In fact, it's taken on a more terrifying form. Sensationalist headlines accuse Rebecca of everything from conspiracy to corruption, but the real danger isn't in the ink and whispers. Something worse has washed onto the shores of Shadow Island. And it can kill in a single bite. A local man has fatally overdosed on fentanyl at the ice cream parlor after polishing off a salted caramel cone. No history of drug use, no needles, no signs of addiction-only a body filled with poison. Rebecca suspects something far worse than a tragic accident. But how does fentanyl find its way into a dessert? When a father and his two children are poisoned by fentanyl after eating at a local diner, Rebecca comes to a startling realization. A sadistic killer is playing a dangerous game of chance, turning routine moments into fatal traps. The island is no longer just haunted by its past-it's under siege by a faceless killer, lurking in every bite, every sip, every breath. Instead of a bullet, he's randomly placing poison around town in a deadly game of Russian roulette. No one is safe. And any unsuspecting citizen could be next. Shadow's Doom, the horrifying seventeenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is proof that the power to kill is the most addictive-and deadly-drug of all.

Hush little baby, don't say a word. On the heels of receiving evidence hinting at the motive behind her father's murder, Sheriff Rebecca West confronts a horrific crime scene. A pregnant woman has been brutally attacked in her home, her unborn baby ripped from her womb. But this is more than assault. It's an abduction of the worst kind. Now, a newborn is in the hands of a monster. Determined to follow every lead, Rebecca locks down the island, launching an all-out search for the missing infant. But as the mother fights for her life, Rebecca uncovers chilling evidence of a man obsessed with the young mother. He didn't want just any baby. He wanted her baby. As Rebecca races to close in on the baby's abductor, it seems she's chasing a ghost. Twenty-four hours later, all she has is more victims and motives she can't decipher. But the infant's chance of survival drops with every passing minute. The clock is ticking, and time is running out. Shadow's Sacrifice, the eighteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series, is a chilling special delivery from Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes.

Some trials are fought in court. Others burn everything down. Sheriff Rebecca West knows she's being watched. She's seen the same car parked along the road-always at a distance, always watching. Even more concerning, the man with damning evidence against the senator tied to her parents' deaths claims he's being followed too. Something's very wrong…again. But she doesn't have time to worry about all that because she's staring at a blazing inferno on the shores of Shadow Island-where a boat sits perched atop a car, both engulfed in flames. The wreck is baffling. The boat must have hit land at full speed, launching into the parking lot before exploding. But why didn't it slow down? And more chillingly-why is the man at the helm already dead, stabbed before the crash? This isn't just an accident. It's a message. With half the puzzle pieces missing and the other half reduced to ash, Rebecca and her team must fight fire with fire, all while watching her back as the past closes in. Because a cornered man with nothing left to lose isn't just the most dangerous thing on the planet-he won't go down alone. He'll take everyone with him. Shadow's Collision, the nineteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, will make you think twice about disturbing the peace.

This isn't revenge. It's reckoning. When Sheriff Rebecca West answers a late-night dispatch about a fatal car accident on the bridge, she fears the worst. The victim isn't just any driver-he's her informant. The man who risked everything to send her a thumb drive exposing the monster who shattered her life. He was on his way to Shadow Island, seeking her protection. Instead, he found death. The strangulation marks covering his neck underscore the grim truth. This was no accident. It was an execution. And Rebecca knows exactly who's behind it. He's silenced anyone who's dared to stand against him-her parents, an inventor who once worked for him… and now, her final connection to the truth. Now, he's coming for her. Every act of violence is a warning. Every victim that falls is a message. He doesn't just kill-he makes examples. And unless Rebecca finds a way to stop him, she's his next lesson. The game is set. The pieces are moving. And the stakes? Everything. Safety is an illusion, and Shadow's Reckoning-the pulse-pounding twentieth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes-will have you checking over your shoulder long after you turn the last page.
