Brown, Jennifer

Shade Me

(4) YA Despite no apparent connection to her, Nikki Kill is the last person her famous classmate Peyton calls before an attack leaves Peyton comatose. Nikki, whose extrasensory synesthesia gives her a leg up on crime-solving, follows the satisfyingly twisty mystery to her own doorstep. Though the synesthesia is gimmicky, Nikki's world-weariness, self-destructive tendencies, and risky relationships make her a classically appealing hard-boiled detective.
