In the second book of the suspenseful Shade Me trilogy, Nikki Kill becomes embroiled in another mystery where only her synesthesia can help her unravel the dark truth.

Nikki Kill didn’t realize that trying to find out who killed Peyton Hollis would tangle her in a web of dangerous family secrets that would rock her identity to the core. But now that Nikki knows the truth, the all-powerful Hollises want to frame her for Peyton’s murder.

And now Nikki’s only chance at escaping the cold black bars of prison or the crimson grip of death is teaming up with the enigmatic Detective Martinez and relying on an ever-shifting kaleidoscope of clues....
 
Mark this down as my favourite mystery/thriller series - even if it treats me cruelly and hurts my favourite characters.

I wasn't sure if this would be as high octane or high impact at the first book, but it SO was. I wasn't sure if Nikki wouldn't continue to grow, but she grew SO MUCH. (She's still a crappy person and I still love her so, so much for it.) I wasn't sure if Nikki would ever have a thing with the bae, Martinez, but it looks hopeful on the romance front ... even if every other front is 100% hopeless.

Basically - epic action, thrilling mystery, twists and awesome reveals, a really unique set of antagonists, a beating sarcastic heart, and just enough kissing to make my happy. Love this series. Dying to read the next one!
