Shade: Girl on a hero’s journey, going from smart-ass to badass.

This boxed set contains all six books in the YA Paranormal Mystery / YA Urban Fantasy SHADE series.

Thanks to her offbeat mother, Shade’s full name is Galactic Shade Griffin. Having a name like that while being the new girl in school is pretty much catnip for bullies. In her junior year of high school, her mom unwittingly moves them to a haunted house. The one good thing to come out of that: Shade discovers she’s a ghost whisperer, a person ghosts contact when they need help, sometimes to solve their own murder.

After graduating from high school, Shade attends a college for the magically gifted where she continues to solve crimes related to ghosts and other magical creatures.

Ever since being born with a name no one can pronounce, Scharlette’s been stuck in a bit of a rut. In fact, she’s begun to fear she might live her whole life without doing anything or mattering to anyone. Still, it comes as quite a surprise when a handsome time traveller arrives from the future and tells her she’s correct – that, according to his records, she doesn’t matter at all. Scharlette’s not sure this news is the greatest, but as she soon learns, having no impact on the timeline whatsoever leaves her free to blast off into outer space, and have amazing adventures with heedless abandon! Join her in this comic sci-fi with heart, which has over 900 five star reviews across Amazon and Goodreads, and which readers call “endlessly endearing”, “riotously funny”, “genuinely fun” and “refreshingly different”.

Scharlette’s wild journey continues as she visits the futuristic city of Panoptica, unsure how its inhabitants will receive a runaway from ancestral Earth. She’s certainly surprised when they ask her to save humanity from a race of vicious murderbugs known as the Germs! However, apparently having zero experience in galactic warfare means she’s exactly the right person for the job – especially now that the Germs have stolen time travel tech, making them harder to squash than ever.

Lori wants to restore order to a world ravaged by virus, violence, and dropping birthrates, but the rage that fueled her rise from hungry teenager to Special Forces colonel has left her with few allies. When a training mission she leads is brutally ambushed, she discovers that wounded soldiers are disappearing from hospitals.
Pulling in her only remaining friend to investigate, she uncover a conspiracy that assassinated two heads of state to start a war, all to hide the true nature of the virus that nearly destroyed the human race.
With time running out, Lori has to disobey direct orders and embrace new allegiances. The problem is, the rage that powers her also distorts her moral compass—which hasn’t been reliable in the best of times.

If you like courageous women, action-packed drama, and tough moral dilemmas, then you’ll love Tumer’s haunting saga.
