The first nine Shadow Detective books in one amazing box set! 1300 pages of gritty, fast-paced urban fantasy packed with occult chills and paranormal peril. For fans of Constantine, Supernatural, and The Dresden Files—readers of gripping supernatural action thrillers won’t want to miss this.

My name is Mike Raven. I was only a boy when demons murdered my parents. I would've been their next victim if not for Joe Skulick, the greatest monster hunter who ever lived. Skulick saved my life that night. He took me in, trained me. He turned a frightened boy into a determined young man sworn to destroy the demonic forces that had orphaned him. Armed with my knowledge of the occult and a mystical arsenal, it's now my turn to battle the nightmares. Join me on my thrilling adventures as I stalk supernatural horrors and seek out deadly sorcery. Tag along as I battle ghosts, vampires, ghouls, witches, demons, monsters, supernatural serial killers, eldritch cults and other assorted abominations. There’s never a dull moment in the Cursed City, friends. The set contains my most harrowing cases: Cursed City, Soul Catcher, Blood Rain, Demon Dawn, Skull Master, Ghoul Night, Witch Wars, Crimson Circle, and Hell Breaker.

What readers are saying about the Shadow Detective series: • “Full of action, dark humor and sarcasm.” • “Well written with tons of action and surprises.” • “Fast-paced and original.” • “The series has completely blown me away.” • “A perfect blend of urban fantasy and supernatural thriller.” • “My favorite Supernatural Action Chiller series.”

Literally one he'll of a ride, into and out of hell, in one he'll of a muscle car. I couldn't it this book down even if my life depended on it. There is no rollercoaster in this world that would be as thrilling a ride as this has been. I hope this series never ends!!!!!

I had written a review of one of the books in the collection. The same things seem to apply to the collection in its entirety.
Character development: There's not a whole lot of it. It's not that the characters are completely flat as much as it is that the author doesn't spend much time developing the impact of the major events the characters experience. That is, perhaps, merely my preferences coming through more than an objective assessment.

Weapons: This one is objective. Guns first. A character Raven's age has never fired a gun which uses currently available ammunition and subsequently smelled cordite. Cordite simply hasn't been used in small arms since about the end of WWII and is no longer used in artillery. I am twice Raven's age, retired military and an avid shooter and I have never smelled cordite. Now, for swords. I spent far too much time, years ago, learning to fight with swords. Swords do not weight 30 pounds. They don't weigh that much now and never have. 1.5-2.5 pounds is more realistic, with 5 pounds being a truly heavy sword.

Overall, the books are good for light reading. The author's take on what being a demon hunter is all about is interesting. They're fun. Not deep, some easily researchable (and thus avoidable) errors, but fun.

This set of 9 books was a thoroughly enjoyable roller coaster ride of non stop demons, witches, vampires and any other paranormal entity you could think of, chased and killed by an amazing group of hunters. The characters are very well written and I loved the storyline.
