Description: An original new series, with heart-pounding suspense and surprising twists. 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.
My Thoughts: SHADOWS IN THE WATER was a story of vigilante justice. Louie Thorne was only a child when her parents were murdered in their home. Her DEA agent father was targeted by some criminals he had brought to justice. Louie idolized her father and was determined to get justice for him.
Luckily, Louie had a secret power. She was able to slip between places as long as there were shadows in the places and she could visualize the place or person she wanted to go to.
When this story begins, Louie has been exacting her own brand of justice for more than ten years and has finally eliminated all of the family of the person she blames for her father's death. All except one that is.
A young Roman criminal who was the illegitimate son of a Martinelli has inherited the criminal organization. He has his own reasons for also wanting revenge against the Martinelli family. Not only did his father never acknowledge him, but he had his mother murdered and buried in an unknown location.
Louie's Aunt Lucy who raised her after her parents' deaths is dying but before she does, she wants to help Louie find a new purpose in life. Lucy introduces Louie to a man who was a mentor to Louie's father. He is retired but still does a few investigations. This time he's been asked by an old colleague to locate a witness who has disappeared. Louie could be useful.
The only problem is that the investigation brings new information and new villains to light who really want Louie dead.
This was an interesting story with lots of action.
