Shadow Island #15
Shadow's Siege
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 she’s faced since coming to Shadow Island. Attempts on her life. Heartbreak. Betrayal. And that’s just the beginning.
The worst is yet to come.
Still reeling from the shocking discovery of who’s behind Shadow Island’s exclusive and depraved "men’s" club, Rebecca is determined to take them down. There’s only one problem. One by one, the members end up dead. Tongues cut out, hands chopped off—the message is clear...
Dead witnesses can’t talk. Now everyone is a potential victim.
Is there a traitor in the club’s 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.
Shadow’s 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 can’t get worse, they do.

Life and Love Lost
It was good to read Shadows Siege. In the midst of taking down the Aqua Mafia, Sheriff Rebecca West discovered her boyfriend Ryker right in the middle of it after all.
Will Ryker give up information or will he be held back by his connections to them?
I really enjoyed reading this and getting one more piece fit together on Sheriff Rebecca West and her wish for a slower lifestyle, peace and quiet. Now I can't wait for the next book in the series.

SHADOW’S SIEGE is the fifteenth installment in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes. You will be hooked from the beginning and have a hard time setting this book down for even a few minutes.
The Yacht Club has been cleaning house, disposing of anyone that knows their details. Will the head of the YC escape, just to start their inhumane activities in another place? Or, is Rebecca and her team fast enough to catch them.
I am anxiously awaiting the next installment. Is the YC finished! Can Rebecca and Team stop them and make Shadow Island the place it was meant to be?
If you haven't read any of Mary Stone's books and enjoy mystery thrillers, start now. Mary and her co-authors definitely know how to get their lead characters in trouble.
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.

***Update**
I discovered the audiobook I was listening to did not have the last chapter that was in the ebook. After reading the last chapter, some things I thought were missing actually were brought to a close.
************
The leaders of the Yacht Club proved to be more vicious than I though possible. It was interesting how Vivian maintained her warped allegiance to one thing only. This book was ful of twists and turns. Characters I expected to see were not part of this particular story and I was surprised.
I didn't feel short changed on action or suspense. There were actually a few moments of edge and sadness. Rebecca's team was hit hard in this book. Another event I was expecting also didn't happen and that was another surprise. This is one time I would have really appreciated an epilogue.
A good read, with good narration that kept me engaged from start to finish.

There is a war on the Shadow Island. Who will win? Rebecca, the sherif or the Yacht club puppeteer? Killings of remaining Yacht members and assault on the sheriff’s station and members make a terrible background to the fact, that the men’s depravity can be topped by woman’s. Rebecca is facing not only gruesome crimes, betrayal and the heartbreak, but has to deal with her own emotions, insecurities and vulnerability. You feel and fear for her, as Mary puts her through the grinder again and again. I love this character along with others. The story is increadible tense and unique. Page turner, fast paced thriller. For one slayed head, the dragon grows two new! You never know , what will happen next. I cannot wait.

This was truly a battle to the end with winner take all. The Sawyers are cleaning house and taking out anyone and everyone who could possibly connect them to the Yacht Club. This was a non-stop thrill ride as a hired assassin and the Sheriff's Office are trying to stay one step ahead of each other. Sheriff West is one tough Sheriff. She means to end the control these people have held over Shadow Island for decades. The Sawyers are ready to move on to new hunting grounds, but they want to wipe out all their former associates before leaving, even if it means their own son is caught in the crossfire. This book was hard to put down and it's a good read.

Great!
I’m still 100% captivated to continue reading Mary’s books. I tried on my own to make some guesses, no.
I couldn’t match what I got to read. The storyline was fabulous. Thank you again for making my reading so enjoyable.
15 years ago basically was the start of my reading. I tried lots of different authors.
When I caught wind of Mary Stone. Hook, line and sinker. Very much hooked.
I loved this book. Happy and sad with plenty of suspense and nervousness.
You did another with lots of flying colors. Yeah!

Shadow’s Siege is fast paced, nonstop action! From the first page I was hooked. Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes have done it again! They have created intriguing characters in both the heroes and the villains. The intensity in this book makes it a spine tingling thriller. Also this is a book that cannot be put down. Cannot wait to see what lies ahead for Sheriff West and her deputies. I love this series and highly recommend!

Mary and Lori have outdone themselves and proved again why the Shadow Island series is my favorite. This was a nonstop action-packed page turner with great characters and lots of twists and turns that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It was gripping from the start to the finish. Definitely cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
I am an ARC member, and this is my very honest review.

this book was the culmination of the search for the aquamafia. Rebecca and the rest of the sheriffs department worked diligently to unravel the lies and deception that surrounded the island.
along the way Rebecca learns to trust her deputies more and give Trent more responsibility as he proves himself.
there is a hitman involved and a prison break. A ruse to gather all the witnesses in a bomb plot. A rush to solve the crime and a showdown. who wins?but this is not the end......

Rebecca is busy coming to terms with the fact that her boyfriend is connected to the Yacht Club thru his parents. He has been using her all along. While trying to formulate a plan to rid the island of those running the club and their hired guns, Rebecca’s police station has the prisoners section blown up. One prisoner is dead and Ryker is missing. Rebecca’s team is searching every inch of the island to locate those responsible. This one will keep you reading till the end.

My favorite series ever. I'm so upset because Ryker was a victim and he didn't deserve to die. He protected Rebecca till the very end and his death hurt like hell.
Vera Sawyer is a psycho and she got off easy by being killed. She is absolutely sick and twisted and reading from her point of view made me sick.
I don't want Hoyt to retire. I'm going to miss Ryker. I'm so glad there is more books to come though and I'm looking forward to it.

When Rebecca finds out her boyfriend, Ryker, betrayed her & has connections to the Yacht Club, she is determined to get the leaders of the club. But at what cost? As members are dying, will she be able to get to the ones behind it all. This was a exciting book, one that is hard to put down until the end.

oh boy
More destruction and more death as Ryker’s parents clean up and prepare to disappear.
The extent of the Yachts Club’s depredations becomes clearer, as the hired assassin demonstrates all of his military-honed skills, and the Sheriff’s department suffers another devastating loss.
How far does the Yacht Club influence reach?

Had it until...
Th realities of child abuse is real, but right at the end I completely disagree with the authors decision of wording concerning sexual abuse and a child. There was something very early in the beginning that made me cringe. The book was fine right until the last few chapters.

A strong series that is thankfully seeing an end to a very dark and twisted "Mafia" rule. Truly a One Man left Standing event. Definitely some tears too. As you go through the series you will see that there is no stopping the murders that go from book to book. Each book ends in a new murder. I wish the team could just take a breath. Time to see what the next murder brings.
April 22, 2024
Looks like there’s an assassin running amok on Shadow Island and it’s up to Rebecca and crew to hunt him down. The question is why he’s targeting the Aqua Mafia. Since the confession of Ryker Sawyer, everything has exploded. Is this the end of the Mafia?
April 24, 2024
A GREAT BOOK THAT IS WELL WRITTEN AND WILL KEEP YOU ENGROSSED TILL THE LAST PAGE. THE STORYLINE IS ORIGINAL WITH PLENTY OF TWISTS AND TURNS TO KEEP YOU TURNING THE PAGES TILL THE END. THE CHARACTERS ARE GREAT AND BECOME YOUR FRIEND DURING THE BOOK. WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?
April 25, 2024
Wow that was some conclusion to the yacht club story line. I enjoyed Trents turn around and growing as a police officer. I am glad it ended in a way that the series will continue. Loved this book. This is my favorite series of Mary Stones.

This series is a good one, the next book starts off where the last one left off, so a good idea to read in order. The writing flows and the paged go by quickly. The action never seems to stop and the solutions to the mystery not always clear.
May 19, 2024
Another great book
This one was definitely a twisty nail-biter that had me crying at one point. Yes, I said, crying. Read it, and you'll find out why. Mary Stone keeps you enthralled till the very end.

Keep your running shoes tied while reading this one!
Another fast paced book! Sheriff Rebecca West and her deputies have to figure out why the Yacht Club members keep showing up dead. Are the heads of the Yacht Club cleaning house before moving on? The investigation and chases are on both land and the water. Another well written book. On now to book 16.
