Under the Bones
About this ebook
Louie Thorne was born to hunt monsters. Killing isn’t a compulsion—it’s the only place she ever finds peace. She targets crime lords, traffickers, and predators the world has failed to stop, erasing them with ruthless precision.
But when her cancer-stricken aunt makes one final request, Louie is forced to confront something far more dangerous than her enemies: the possibility of walking away from the violence that defines her.
Then there’s Konstantine.
The bastard son of the crime lord who destroyed Louie’s family, Konstantine now rules Florence’s brutal underworld as the leader of the Ravengers. Betrayed, hunted, and bleeding power, he has one chance to survive—trusting the woman who wants him dead.
Bound by blood, vengeance, and a shared enemy, Louie and Konstantine form an alliance neither of them believes will last. Every step closer to survival pulls them deeper into betrayal, obsession, and a reckoning neither can escape.
In a world ruled by violence, loyalty is a lie—and love may be the deadliest weapon of all.
Under the Bones is a dark, relentless thriller featuring a morally gray antihero, international crime syndicates, and a lethal enemies-to-allies dynamic that will keep you turning pages late into the night. Perfect for readers who love crime thrillers with a touch of the supernatural.
This is book 2 in the Shadows in the Water series.

About the author
Kory M. Shrum is author of the bestselling Shadows in the Water and Dying for a Living series. She has loved books and words all her life. She reads almost every genre you can think of, but when she writes, she writes science fiction, fantasy, and thrillers, or often something that’s all of the above.
She can usually be found under thick blankets with snacks. The kettle is almost always on.
When she’s not eating, reading, writing, or indulging in her true calling as a stay-at-home dog mom, she loves to plan her next adventure. (Travel).
She lives in Michigan with her equally bookish wife, Kim, and their rescue pug, Charley.
