OLDER FICTION

Dare You

(4) YA Shade Me series. This sequel finds noir-ish heroine Nikki Kill framed for the murder of Peyton Hollis, her half-sister (and the victim in Shade Me's central mystery). Meanwhile, Nikki's self-destructive tendencies and romantic tension with a young police detective both deepen. The gimmicky focus on Nikki's synesthesia as a crime-solving aid (she sees letters, numbers, and emotions as colors) distracts from a well-constructed mystery.
