Shadows in the Water

I was skeptical at first, because the book was free (get what you pay for, ya know?); but I really enjoyed it! It had the perfect balance of supernatural and crime suspense, the characters were likable, and the plot was well thought out. I look forward to reading more from the author.

A mob story, mystery and fantasy as a package deal. The heroine is hardened and traumatized but has a little bit of heart left. Sometimes the action is bloody but it’s always entertaining. Plus, the home scene is New Orleans, so we always have beignets.

Fast paced, action filled with a touch of horror. I enjoyed the well developed characters and the author really made them come to life. If you're looking for a good read to hold your attention, this is it. Can't wait to read the next book. Really good work Ms. Shrum!

Really enjoyed this novel. Very good introduction to a new series. Fast paced, lots of action, protagonist has a clear goal and narrow focus on achieving it. Hope the upcoming books add a bit more depth to her character. The other characters are more engaging.
Definitely worth reading!

So glad I trusted the other reviews and read this book! Kind of a mix of genres and it works. Loved the characters and the storyline. Well-edited, too. Every time I got pulled away from reading, I couldn't wait to get back to it to see what happened!

What a creative, original book. I really loved it. I am a big fan of the main character, so much that I'm going to get the next book in the series right now. I highly recommend this book! Thank you author for a great read.

This was not what I expected, part fantasy, part action/adventure, part mystery, it was a great book. Even though the main character does one thing well, kill, she's still a very sympathetic character with understandable motives. The dialog, action and characters were all very well done. I'd definitely read more by this author.

I love this. The mix of thriller and fantasy makes it a fun read for anyone who is comfortable with the idea of the supernatural or magical. I will keep my eye open for any continuation of the story.

If you are looking for suspense a touch of romance and to have your heart strings pulled this is the book for you. I'm not into writing reviews in fact this is my first but that is how much I loved this book, I have already per-ordered the next book to this series. READ IT you want be disappointed.

In spite of the copious blood and impossibabble voodoo bopping about, this book
has an exciting feel to it. Page turner/stomach churner. I wish the best for the indomitable heroine in future installments. Much like the Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest....
