Shadow's Collision

Shadow Island #19

by Mary Stone

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.

SHADOW’S COLLISION is the ninteenth installment in the Shadow Island Series by the team of Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes. You'll have a hard time setting this roller coaster ride of suspenseful, chilling book down for even a few minutes.  

This action-packed packed story starts with a lone fisherman and a murder will have you glued to your seat in the first chapter. Then immediatly swept to a fiery boat crashing to shore with a dead body aboard. Sheriff Rebecca West and her deputies are sent on a chilling chase for clues leading to the person

launching burning boats at Shadow Island. They will be find obsession, madness and more bodies.

This book is full of suspense and intrigue and I highly recommend it. 

I did receive an ARC of this book from the author, and this is my freely given and honest review.  I recommend this book and the entire series.

I do agree with others, this series would make a great TV series.

I was happy to see the newest Shadow Island book. Rebecca West is Shadow Islands Sheriff. Her deputy's had become her family and they would protect her as she would protect each one of them. Shadows Collision is about Friends, Boats, Fires, Accidents, Islands and Crime. While investigating a boat wreck and a murder Sheriff West and her Deputies get to meet some very interesting people. With a promise to return the next day the Sheriff regrets that she didn't stay longer or have someone stay with the Owner of Deerskin Island. And Rebecca, her youngest Deputy Vivianne, her oldest Deputy Hoyt and everyone in between were searching their minds to figure out the Who & Why would someone do what was done.

I love this Series, the characters become friends you can check on when the new book comes out.

Shadow Island and Sheriff West and her deputies never get a break, even around Christmas. While Sheriff West has observed a car stalking her with DC plates, a boat rams into the park landing on a car and bursts into flames. Rebecca realizes there is a person on the boat; however, the person was already dead before impact from stab wounds. While investigating this, another similar incident happens this time with two dead people on the boat. This is an action-packed story with the deputies (and reader) being led to believe they have a suspect only to find this to be false. The reasons behind the murderer committing these crimes is so sad.

Who is the killer?
I'm a fan of this series and I really like Sheriff Rebecca West. That being said, this book did not disappoint. Someone is killing people, putting them in their boats, setting them on fire, and launching them toward Shadow Island. The plot is good and leads you down a rabbit hole. The action is amazing and once again Sheriff West stands up to evil. Heartbreak and tragedy can change you. It definitely did the real killer in this very action-packed novel. Good book and good read.

Shadow Island, nice place to live now that Rebecca and her team have exposed the escapades of the Yacht Club. She is still getting the feeling she is being watched by someone, and when she sees a strange car parked near her home she’s confident she is right, but who is it?
Meanwhile a bazaar boat accident has her team busy. There is one person on board who is dead, and likely was before the collision.
Lots happening here, great story

A quiet time before Christmas is disturbed by a boat hitting the shore at full speed landing on a parked vehicle and exploding into a fiery mess. Rebecca and crew help put it out only to discover a body that had been stabbed to death repeatedly. While investigating this crime another boat appears also manned by dead people causing a fiery explosion. Who is doing this? And why?

Sherif Rebecca West thinks she is being watched by a DC vehicle, but before she can make sure she is thrown into another case. Burning boats with dead bodies are launched onto the shores of her beach town. Can Rebecca & her team find out where the boats are coming from & who sent them? The rush is on. Don’t miss this one, you won’t be disappointed!

Shadow's Collision is the 19th book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone. In this book sheriff Rebecca West and her crew need to solve the mystery of 2 boats that are sent to the island on fire with dead people in them.
It also appears that Rebecca is being watched and followed bv a black car with DC license plates. The book is full of suspense and I would highly recommend it.

Shadow's Collison

I enjoyed every word of this book. The characters are so life-like that they now feel like old friends. The plot is intriguing with just the right amount of twists. I am already excited about the next book in this series.

[Patricia Sherman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

This book kept you guessing about the killer. Rebecca had her job cut out for her with fire. Someone sending fiery boats toward shore, but why. This is a great series that gets better with each book.

[marcia potts · Rating 5 out of 5]

A personal tragedy leads to violence and murder.

A small town Sheriff being harassed by a politician. A man with a tragic past takes aim at machines and people, murdering people in a most horrific way.

[Peg Gross · Rating 5 out of 5]

A thriller with the twist of compassion and continuing intrigue

I particularly enjoyed this journey in the series..only children know more than anyone, the comfort and loneliness of being alone..this story is so similar to that fabric of our lives.

[Mary Rowe · Rating 3 out of 5]

heartbreaking on many levels

A burning, out of control boat jumps over the shore onto a parking lot, destroying a car, causing an out of control conflagration. The one anomalous finding is the dead man at the helm - obviously dead long before the boat hit the parked car.

[Stacey West-feather · Rating 5 out of 5]

And the plot thickens

This is one takes turns that are really unnecessary in my opinion. I really want to know who stalking the Sheriff and not chase tales of the unknown. Hoping the next one gives some answers

[Dawn · Rating 5 out of 5]

This action packed novel has sheriff Rebecca West and her team pitted against men who have nothing left to loose. Never a dull moment in this novel with continuously mounting tension. The same great characters who have been in the Shadow Island series.

[Chrissy Lee · Rating 5 out of 5]
