Kaidans Seduction Presents A Review For Shadow's Force by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes Plus What I'm Currently Reading

 

Which is more dangerous...Mother or Human Nature?

Twelve hours earlier, Interim Sheriff Rebecca West was enjoying a casual lunchtime burger. Now she’s preparing for a hurricane headed straight for Shadow Island. While hauling sandbags and calming town officials, the last thing she needs is a stunned man stumbling into the sheriff’s department.

Covered in blood.

Clearly in shock, the man doesn’t know who he is and only mutters about needing help finding a mermaid. Is he distraught because he killed someone or because he witnessed a horrific event?

Rebecca needs to find out—and fast.

Fighting the torrential rain and wind, Rebecca discovers the victim, posed and decorated like a mermaid. Is the catatonic man the killer? Or is something more sinister at work?

With very little support, she has to work quickly before the island is completely cut off from the mainland and any evidence is destroyed by the natural disaster. It’s all hands on deck as Rebecca and the entire department scramble to prepare for a hurricane...and solve a murder.

From its enigmatic beginning to the nail-biting conclusion, Shadow’s Force—the fourth book in the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes—will make you fear the storms of nature and love.

My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sherriff Rebecca West is in for a surprise because she is going to be dealing with a Hurricane coming straight for her Island. She has never been in a Hurricane and does not know what to do so she consults the Hurricane book and her fellow Deputy's.

As Rebecca is making sand bags to help the flooding of the roads she gets a call to come in to the office because a guy has showed up bleeding and bruised and rambling about a mermaid. When Rebecca gets there the ambulance is already there to check on the man. When the EMT checks him out she tells them that the man is in shock and needs warm water and some warm clothes. When Rebecca tries to talk to him she gets nowhere and she starts to look through his belongings to see if he has any identity and he does. So Rebecca gets a hold of his phone and she starts to read where he was last seen. They get an address and Rebecca and Deputy Hoyt go out to the house to see if everything is okay. Only when they get there they find blood at the back door so they enter the house and they find blood everywhere so they search the house and make a gruesome discovery.

The Hurricane is coming so they try and seal off the crime scene as best as they can. Then Rebecca goes back to the station and finds out they need her elsewhere so she goes and is thinking the whole time that she has to figure out who did that to that person and she need to find the husband and let him know what happened to his wife. As Rebecca is looking through all the blood she follows the blood trail out to the beach where she finds a man barely breathing so she drags him to her truck and brings him to the hospital to get some help.

As the Hurricane is barreling through her town she is in the hospital where it is safe to wait out the Hurricane. While there she looks at all the evidence they collected at the scene and she pieces the crime together and finds out who murdered the lady. This is one hell of a murder mystery and I can't wait for the next one. Rebecca is going to be a great Sherriff for Shadow Island.

Currently Reading Eleanor & Grey By Brittainy C. Cherry 

An unforgettable second-chance romance about healing, family, and the enduring power of first love. This edition includes designed edges and an exclusive, never-before-published, bonus chapter.

Eleanor never thought she'd see Greyson East again. As a teenager, he was everything—her first crush, her closest friend, the boy who made her believe in forever. But life had other plans, and when tragedy struck, they were torn apart. Years later, Eleanor takes a nannying job hoping to rebuild her life, only to discover her new boss is Greyson—the boy she once knew, now a man haunted by loss.

Greyson warns Eleanor to keep her distance and focus solely on her job, but as she has never backed down from a challenge. As Eleanor spends time with Greyson and his two daughters, she catches glimpses of the boy she once adored beneath his cold exterior—the one who made her feel seen when no one else did.

With each passing day, Eleanor chips away at the walls Greyson has built, uncovering the pain he’s tried so hard to bury. But letting her in means facing the ghosts of his past, and the possibility of losing her all over again. For Eleanor, walking away would be the safer choice, but her heart refuses to give up on the man who once made her believe in love. Because sometimes, the hardest battles are the ones worth fighting—and Eleanor is determined to show Greyson that even the deepest scars can heal when love is given a second chance.
