This box set includes the first three novels in the Shadows in the Water series: Shadows in the Water, Under the Bones, and Danse Macabre.
Meet Louie Thorne. They didn't kill her — and they'll soon regret it.
When DEA agent Jack Thorne's house is stormed by vengeful drug lords, both he and his wife are shot dead. Only his daughter Louie survives — by using a terrifying power that defies reason.
Piecing together a life in his absence, Louie embraces her gift and her rage under the force of a single need: revenge.
She will destroy the men that took her family. No matter the cost, no matter how many bullets, she won't stop until justice has been well and truly served.

Lou Thorne
I thoroughly enjoyed all of this series ! Mystery, murder, paranormal gift all together. Very unusual and exciting stories! Loved them all. -
I love this series. Shrum has done an excellent job at world building and her characters are complex people who grow and change over the series. The main character, Lou Thorne, is a young woman with an unusual power. She can transport herself and others anywhere in the world through the dark. As a child, her parents are murdered in front of her. She grows up wanting to avenge her parents. She is on a crusade to ride the world of evil persons, those who would hurt others, especially women and children. She uses her unusual power along with a large arsenal and an unbelievable way of disposing of bodies. She is loyal to her friends and has mixed emotions about her paramour (it's complicated). There's lots of action and violence, as well as a little sex mixed in. I'm looking forward to reading Books 4-6 in the next boxed set. Highly recommend!

As is the case with most series, the 6-book series will be most enjoyable and understandable if you read Books 1-3 first, then read Books 4-6 Bundle. That way you will understand the relationships among the main characters and how they got to the present moment. You'll also know how Lou Thorne became a one-woman hit squad against drug dealers and traffickers, the checkered past between Lou and Konstantine, some background on La Loon and Jabbers, how King became one of the best PIs in NOLA, and how the relationship among Dani, Piper and Lou developed. There is lots of violent action but it's usually the bad guys that take the heat and end up meeting Jabbers.

So good! I couldn't put it down. I read the first three books in less than a week. This series has a bit of everything; mystery, thrills, chills, murder and a dash of paranormal too.
I've just finished the first three and I am not ready to say good-bye to Lou and her friends just yet. So even though I am over my book budget for the month, I went ahead and bought the next set of three. I can't wait to see what happens next!
Lou has figured out the world isn't so easily divided into good/evil and needs to find a new path forward. What will she do in a world that's not as black and white as she first thought, but a million shades of grey? -
Shadows in the water
Wow what an unusual but brilliant storyline I was absolutely enthralled from start to finish.At first I thought it was your run of the mill thriller but after a couple of chapters I realised Lou was no ordinary girl and I was in for a wild ride ,I loved all the main characters and is it wrong to worry that Jabbers will go hungry without Lou feeding her murderers and drug mules I'm off to download the next instalment -
Thriller with a touch of Fantasy
These 3 books are the beginning of a fantastic thriller with a bit of fantasy. Lou Thorne has some special skills and a huge vendetta against the men who killed her family. Full of interesting characters, A great plot line, with twists and turns you won't expect, this bundle is not just your regular thriller. A great read which will keep you on the edge of your seat and turning the page. -
Enjoyed reading
Good book, held my interest, wanted to read all three..would have liked more information on her ability, where she inherited from or whatever.still a good read, interesting characters. -
Hard Boiled PI Noir SF
She's a beautiful vengeful orphan who's a crack shot and has other world access superpowers teamed up with hard bitten normal humans destroying vicious criminals bouncing around picturesque locales. Not for me. -
Hero, anti-hero. I love it. Also Piper, I love the additional humor added by Piper.

I tried very hard to get into this series, but I DNFed it halfway through book 1. The characterizations are paper-thin and the story drags.
