Love the story lines. Revenge mixed with romance!

Fast moving, great book. This was my first Kory Schrum book. Though the start was a little slow once the story picked up steam it was a nice, twisting, turning roller coaster of a read. I throughly enjoyed it, thank you.

Something new. Really enjoyable. A thriller with such a unique concept. Very well written

Shadows Held Me Captive. I may never look at a shadow, in the same way... ever AGAIN!!

“Shadows in the Water” kept me enthralled!. This is the first book in a long time that I had a difficult time putting down! The character of Lou Thorne and her ability is a stroke of genius. The story and characters kept the entire novel rolling seamlessly the entire time.

Intriguing!. Great book! Loved the plot line, the characters were well developed, and the book was well written and edited. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a little suspense with their paranormal.

Save time download the series. Really enjoyed how the author took time to develop the characters so they became people you cared about, rooted for and wanted to win…even a certain fearful beast! It’s always nice to see a strong woman action figure, and I have a goddaughter who I need to get this to, I only hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Great action a smattering of humor, this is a read that leaves you wanting more!

Shadows in the Water. A delightful read! Like a bag of potato chips it was hard to stop before I finished. The interplay of the characters was enjoyable and keep my interest. Thank you, TFD

The best book I think I have ever read!!. This book had me from the very first page! It is written with a depth that I, a lifelong book nerd, have very rarely experienced! Wow! I am writing a short review only because I am so looking forward to the next book in this series! Without a doubt I have a new favorite author! Job well done!!

Shadows in the Water. Supernatural? No, super book! I did not even notice the “supernatural” until I was two thirds of the way into the story. I was too wrapped up with the characters and the twists and turns of revenge to notice. Ms. Shrum is at the top of my list of authors to follow. dsimonsen57

Unique and a fun read. So, definitely one of a kind supernatural abilities, who done it, wicked humor type escape. I liked it a lot and will definitely be reading more in this series.

Terribly Imaginative. Has a bit of everything, from Sci-Fi & Horror, to drama & murder mystery, & even a bit of romance. Not only imaginative, but twisted & surreal, with a lead character you don’t know whether to love, pity or envy. One terrific ride of a story!

Great read, from begging to the end. Loved the book. Couldn’t put it down.

Shadows in the Water. Wow! I hardly know where to start. . . This was one of the most spellbinding, well thought out and entertaining books I’ve read in a long time. The heroine (?), Lou, kept me enthralled and you need to read the book to understand why I added the question mark! I look forward to reading Kory M. Shrum many times in the future and expect to be as spellbound in any of the genre she cares to pursue. Well done Ms. Shrum!

Shadows in the water. Very good book! I highly enjoyed it!

Shadows in the Water. As an avid reader, I was thrilled to discover Kory M. Shrum. I first was attracted to her DYING books and was so sad when I completed the entire series. I wanted more...more enthralling characters, more breathtaking suspense, more Kory Shrum novels! And then I found it, the WATER series. I was hooked on the first book Shadows in the Water from page 1. Following the main character Lou Thorne, I was drawn into a life that was horrendous to even imagine. Gaining strength from the terror of her world, she moves through the days hell bent on revenge. Others in her life...Robert King, Aunt Lucy, and Konstantine try to save her but, at the same time, need her to save them. I held my breath as I followed Lou each time to La Loon and what lay in wait for her there.

Great Story!. I couldn’t put this down. The story just pulled you in fast paced not too many characters and really well developed characters. I love a great mystery as well as a little bit of supernatural thrown in and the sad at all. You must read this one! I am going to be getting the next installment as soon as I finish leaving this review!

Love ❤️. This. Book.. She’s strong 💪🏼… action packed with a hot Italian man as a love interest! Sold.

Nearly Speechless in SoCal. I could not put this down. I literally could not stop reading it. I did not sleep last night. Kory. Please tell me you are writing more Lou stories!!!! I’m hooked!!!

Wow. Catches you quickly, and takes you for a great ride. Shocked by this book, it was such a good read. Good story line. Original. Thank you!

Great Read. You get a bit of everything in this book. Mystery, horror, supernatural and some great characters. Can’t wait to see what’s next for Lou!

Gritty and Full of Suspence. Lou is a tough, full of revenge character, and she’s out to get her father’s killers. In the process she loses part of her humanity but might be able to rescue just a little of it by the end. The book is good. It’s not a feel good story with a perfect ending but looks at how loss can scar a person emotionally.

5 stars. This is well written and worth reading if you are looking for something different. It’s like a mystery, horror, and thriller all in one book. I really enjoyed it.

Absolutely LOVED it!!!. I’ve never finished a book so fast!!

Under the Bones. I loves this book. A real page turner- just couldn’t put it down.

NanaBunnie. My husband and I try new authors using e-books where first book is free. We’ve come across many fantastic writers that you don’t always find in hardcover books. J.Robert Kennedy,Randall Woods,Blake a Pierce,and others. This story grabbed me at the beginning and held me up to the end. We will be buying the next Lou book when it’s released. Amazing story line. Please continue with this character. Thank You Laura Kreitzer

Love it. Excellent story telling...looking forward to the next in the series.

Great read!. The characters were complex. You can’t help but love the main character even though she murders other villains. There are unpredictable spins throughout the story. I couldn’t put the book down. Can’t wait to start the next one.

Great read. Easy to fall into, fun easy page turner!

Shadows in the water. I enjoyed this book very much

Excellent story. Kept me awake until I finished looking for more!

Shadows in the Water. Awesome and original. Mystery suspense and great action. It has it all. Kept reading till it was done. Can’t wait to read the next one.

One in a hundred. I read a ton of these inexpensive books from book bub but I rarely go on to the next book at the increased price. I read two or three books a week and this will be the only one out of the last six months or so that I will follow up on. Lou is sort of like Anita Blake without entire chapters about her sex life. Her character could use a little more development but that’s why you write more books in a series. I’m looking forward to reading more.

Love, love, love!. The most entertaining book I’ve read in a while. Authentic characters and a gripping plot!

Shadows in the water. Very well though out. Engrossing and fast moving. A page turner keeping you reading into the wee hours of the morning

Finally. Finally a new plot that delivers everything you want in this genre! I enjoyed reading the main character sections the most but by the middle I was drawn into learning about all the characters, too. Hard book to put down. Appreciate that this book had a solid ending, but also thankful the story continues. I’ll buy the second book!

Great read!. Loved the characters, the storyline, and mostly, the heroine.

Shadows in the water. Intriguing mystery thriller with imaginative storyline and lead characters that keeps you riveted

Excellent!. This is an amazing book, kept me on the edge. Kory is now one of my very few favorite authors! Can’t wait to read the next book in the Louie series!

Enjoyed. Great summer read…will read others!

Best book everrrr!. I LOVED Kory’s Dying For A Living series. So after this AMAZING book I want to keep digging. I want to find out more about Lou-Blues story....and whatever happens to her life (and death) and all the wonderfully developed characters along the way. I guess since i just lost my dad, I feel for Louie and fell in love with her by the first couple of chapters. Her story is one filled with pain, longing and a need for redemption. It’s beautifully written, fast paced and grabs your attention in the first page. I’m falling down the La Loon rabbit hole on this one! Thank you to the author for giving me chills...and tears. Lol 👍❤️😘

Great book!. Exciting and interesting read...different than any other book I’ve read!You won’t be able to put this book down!

Fantastic book. Excellent plot, very well written with amazing amount of detail. Made me feel like I was actually there. My 1st book from this author. I will definitely be reading others.

Shadows in the Water. I love this book! It’s well worth buying it. It’s a wonderful book and I will probably read it again

Awesome. I loved this book! I liked the fresh new twist of super natural character and the whole darkness to the heroine thing! Can’t wait to read the others!

Amazing first book in seriesh. Wow, have read thousands of books in my lifetime but this is one of the most engaging ever. Can’t wait to continue the series. This author is so talented.

Amazing writer!!!!. Amazing story with great writing! Can’t wait to read more!

Good book. I finished reading this in a day and a half... I was kept on my toes wondering what came next... the characters grabbed my attention and even thou Louie was a cold blooded killer... you felt for her... I liked the twist of the story...

Would love to see a movie made from this book. This book was quite a surprise! New plot, interesting premise, and believable characters. Liked it enough to write my first ever review for a book. Give it a try, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. It’s been awhile since a book has kept my attention until the end. Looking forward to reading the next in the series.

Excellent. Main character was well written! Strong female character without it feeling unrealistic. Excellent plot twist that made it feel as if it were the first time you read an action novel.

Unusual premise, superb theiller. Loved the book. Lou has unusual abilities, but uses them to her best capabilities. She may come across as emotionless on the outside, but is that just a mask? Stayed up all night to finish the first book. It’s not just the suspense, but Shrum’s moments of insights like Konstantine’s view on American architecture, King’s opinions on self righteousness and youth. Loved it! Even more than the Dying for a Living series.

Shadows in the Water.. Excellent mixture of characters that bring this story to life. Blending fiction with reality in a suspense filled read. More of the same please for the fans.

Fab. Gripping thriller with an awesome storyline and a kickass heroine!

Shadows under the water.. Very good read. Could hardly put it down . The story line is great, and the lead girl is very believable. Well worth reading.

Fab book!. Couldn’t put it down, a refreshing change! Can’t wait for the next instalment.

Fabulous. Fantastic read. Draws you in

Unusually rare. A very good read, a well thought out plot ,not at all boring like some who explore every little detail ,as they say ,just the facts just the facts.....

A great book, with an originality that is a rare find.. I devoured this book over a period of a couple of evenings. The characters, even the minor ones are well created and come to life, in your mids eye their image becomes crystal clear. Read this book, I would be very surprised if it didn’t catch your imagination too, me? I’m about to download the next in the series—I can’t wait to see where the plot goes next.

Worth a read. There are a range of interesting characters, whose interactions weld this novel into a believable scenario. It is well written and I would recommend you read it. There are some questions that I would have liked to have been answered, but possibly they can be found in subsequent books.

Different but awesome. Good fights bad with a bit of the unknown. Different plaines/world’s this was a great read and I couldn’t put it down. The characters are great and believable and I can’t wait to continue with the series.

Fantastic revenge story. A well written story of revenge with a mystical/SF twist. The characters are well fleshed out, the story flows without too many flat parts, and Louie is a heroine in the style of Anita Blake or any other tough hero. Petite, with ovaries of steel. You’ll love Jabbers.

Fantastic. Great read captivating from beginning to end Julieac64

Shadows In The Water. Very entertaining book. Characters lifelike with their own little Quirks. Great story telling and looking forward to the 2nd Book in the series.... Great work Kory M Shrum, keep it up.....

Couldn’t put it down!. This book was unique and captivating. I couldn’t put it down! I cannot wait for more in this series!

Very Enjoyable Read. Well done and enjoyable. Really liked the characters. Look forward to reading more in the series.

Great Revenge is a Dish Best Served Dark… with a Touch of Aquaphobia.. Lou Thorne has some skeletons in her closet. And her bathtub. But she has some unusual talents that helped her put them there. After her parents were killed, she did what any young girl would do – seek revenge. Kory M. Shrum has whittled a sharp and superbly written tale of action with some seriously strange goings-on. Her characters are fully dimensioned with all the right flaws thrown in. In a tale that might seem a bit like good versus evil, the lines quickly get blurred. Even the good guys have some evil hiding under the covers. Wherever Lou goes, life is on the line and bodies pile up. No matter who goes along for the ride, it will get bumpy. Ready for an awesome new adventure? Look to the shadows with your eyes wide open.

Fast paced and intriguing. Absolutely loved this book, the heroine is complex and the fast paced story kept me engaged throughout

Fab read. Teases the reader on all levels, then delivers with an intensity of imagination and uniqueness in style

Absolutely Amazing. Amazing read. All 11 books I felt like I was reading about a Marvel super vigilante hero. I’ve never read a series and had such a strong wish to have it made into a movie. I highly recommend reading the first 2 books because then you will be hooked and read all the others. Amazing action. No infidelity. Slow burn. Components of this story remind me of Dexter. OMG don’t piss Lou off.

Totalement nouveau !. On accroche rapidement! Tellement différent de tout ce qu’on connaît

Worth reading. Honestly.. This is a series I will follow until there is no more to follow. To attempt to describe it would take too long, but my advice is to start at the beginning and follow each book through in sequence, even though each one is a satisfying read on its own.

Loved this book!. The action and story lines were really good. I had a hard time putting it down! The heroine was interesting and the reader understood her motivation in everything she did. I’m looking forward to reading more about Louie!
