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?

Shadow Lands

Eu gostei bastante, apesar de que no inicio eu nao via o porque da parte paranormal, acho que daria um bom thriller juvenil sem a parte mágica, porém, no final algumas coisas se encaixam e a parte sobrenatural ganha muita importancia. Quero muito ler a segunda parte da trilogia para saber como tudo segue depois do tremendo cliffhanger com que o livro termina.
A escrita da autora é muito boa, prende a gente, embora eu ainda acho que ela enrola um pouco para chegar em algo importante na trama.
O que eu realmente detestei foi só a protagonista. Rory é um asco, trata mal todo mundo por nada, e o fascínio que exerce sobre os outros personagens ficou mal explicado demais e pouco convincente.
