“Brown’s series is a must-have for older teens and as a crossover title for mystery and thriller fans seeking a young, feisty protagonist. The satisfying but open conclusion begs for more Nikki Kill adventures.” — Booklist PRAISE FOR SHADE ME: “This dark tale hits all the hallmarks of a traditional hardboiled mystery, full of dirty secrets and potential betrayals. Brown (Torn Away) skillfully uses Nikki’s condition to put a fresh spin on time-honored noir conventions.” — Publishers Weekly “Nikki is a force to be reckoned with.” — School Library Journal “Nikki’s endearingly heedless with a careless confidence, and her tenacity may earn respect.” — Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books “SHADE ME is a wild ride, illuminating the gritty side of Los Angeles and the beautiful people who populate it. Fans of Veronica Mars will fall in love with Nikki Kill.” — Michelle Gagnon, author of the Don't Turn Around trilogy
