Hello Rainbows,

Happy Hanukkah, merry Christmas, happy Kwanzaa. Got it all. Anyway, you know what I did. Or you would if people actually read these. LOL. I finished a book.

So Shade Me is about this girl named Nikki Kill who gets a phone call in the middle of the night from an unknown number. An hour later she gets a call from the hospital requesting she come identify a person. It's Peyton Hollis, daughter to big time producer Bill Hollis. But why was Nikki contacted and not Peyton's family? Why was Nikki's number the only one in Peyton's phone. Mysteries, wow!

Nikki has synesthesia, which is a phenomenon where colors bleed into her senses. So numbers, emotions, and words have colors associated with them. It's a cool concept, but it got confusing for me. I couldn't remember what color represented what, but it was all good. Well, not all good. This book was kind of a cringe fest. This chick disturbed all of the evidence. Literally. All of it. She broke and entered several times. Normally I'm cool with a little B&E but she got caught so many times. Almost everything she did got her caught, whether it was by the people after her or the detective. Like, gurl. Get yo sneaks together. Find some sneaks. And her decisions are just. . . no. And the conclusions she comes to? No. I so wanted to stop this book several times because it was very cringe and she was doing dumb things.

But what do I know about being a teen detective? I've only read all the books.

It wasn't a bad book, I just found it hard to read. I liked Nikki and Chris' character, but that's all.

Ship: Nikki and Chris, even though idk how old he is. She's 18, it's fine!

Hate: Rich people
