Books like Shadowlands (Shadowlands #1) by Kate Brian

Rory Miller survived an attack by the serial killer Steven Nell, who escaped after her intervention. To protect herself and her family, Rory, her father, and her sister Darcy enter a witness‑protection program and relocate to Juniper Landing, a picturesque vacation island. Rebuilding their lives together proves difficult. The sisters, once inseparable, now struggle with their new dynamic and the isolation of their new home. Their attempts at normalcy—surfing, beach parties, hiking sunsets—are disrupted when one of their new friends vanishes. Whether it is an unrelated event or a prelude to further danger, Rory must confront the possibility that the terror may be resurfacing. Set against a Southern coastal backdrop, the story follows the sisters’ attempts to regain safety and tranquility while coping with the lingering threat of the unleashed serial killer and the psychological toll of witness protection.
