Thoughts:
Shadowlands is such a chilling thriller which I needed after reading so many dystopians and mind numbing paranormal romances. It exceeds and astounds my every expectations and I'm left wondering what the story is really about with each twists and turns it took.
From the start, we get an inside look of a demented killer stalking his prey and what comes after is a whirlwind of action as Rory and her small family make a quick getaway to escape the psycho who is hell bent on finishing his job. I'm glad that the introduction of the secondary characters are done rather fast so readers won't be sidetracked about the mystery.
What can I say is that every little details truly count in figuring this story out and by the end of the book, I was truly blown out of my mind! What an ending! After finishing it, I had to read it all over again just to find all those missing clues. Goodness! This might be an excellent M. Night Shyamalan's movie.

Summary from Goodreads:
Rory Miller had one chance to fight back and she took it. Rory survived… and the serial killer who attacked her escaped. Now that the infamous Steven Nell is on the loose, Rory must enter the witness protection with her father and sister, Darcy, leaving their friends and family without so much as a goodbye.
Starting over in a new town with only each other is unimaginable for Rory and Darcy. They were inseparable as children, but now they can barely stand each other. As the sisters settle in to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island, it seems like their new home may be just the fresh start they need. They fall in with a group of beautiful, carefree teens and spend their days surfing, partying on the beach, and hiking into endless sunsets. But just as they’re starting to feel safe again, one of their new friends goes missing. Is it a coincidence? Or is the nightmare beginning all over again?
