    About this ebook

    The first book in acclaimed author Jennifer Brown’s thrilling suspense series for fans of Sara Shepard’s Pretty Little Liars, Shade Me is about a unique girl who becomes entangled in a mysterious crime and lured into a sexy but dangerous relationship with a boy who may be a suspect.

    Nikki Kill has always been an outsider. Born with rare synesthesia, she sees the world differently. In Nikki’s eyes, happiness is pink, sadness is a mixture of brown and green, and lies are gray.

    To Nikki, Peyton Hollis, the ultrarich it-girl at school, was seemingly untouchable. That is, until Peyton is violently attacked and the only phone number the hospital finds in Peyton’s cell is Nikki’s. Suddenly Nikki is pulled into Peyton’s glittering, fast-paced world as she tries to unravel an unfolding conspiracy.

    As Nikki gets closer to the dark truth—and to Peyton’s gorgeous older brother—the only thing she can be sure of is death is a deep, pulsing crimson.

      Jan 19 - Jennifer Brown is currently my favourite contemporary YA author and I was wildly looking forward to this, her new book. However, I am at a loss how to rate this book and we'll see what I come up with after writing this review. The main female character, Nikki Kill has synesthesia which is cool, but otherwise she is a vile, angry, selfish, unlikable character for the entire book. Supposedly she hates the privileged self-centred kids from very elite rich family but she has the same qualities she dislikes in them. She has major authority issues, having no respect and outright disdain for all adults from her dad, to the cops to teachers. Her general attitude to each being "blah, blah, blah shut up talking so I can get out of here and do what I like." She has sex the first second she can with a character she knows is potentially dangerous. She is a highschool student and there is sexual tension between her and the cop investigating the crime which is seriously creepy, perverted and downright unethically wrong. Nikki jumps into dangerous situations and the reader has to suspend disbelief completely to even think the situations could even happen in a book. Not one single character is likable in the book, so I didn't care who died, who was guilty, who got accused who went to jail, etc. So, after all that, did I hate the book? Well, no, not hate. At the 60% point I knew I was invested and would have to finish the book. This isn't up to par with Brown's previous books in which I've always fallen for, or at least been emotionally attached to, the characters.

      This is my least favorite Jennifer Brown novel. I won't be finishing the series.

      The more I think about this one, the more it annoys me. Nikki Kill--the girl who won't stay down. She thinks a lot about her martial arts training and manages to keep getting up after being beaten, falling down a flight of stairs, etc. Wow, she's tough. So tough, too tough.
