Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready

5.0

I'm kicking myself right now for waiting so long to read Shade. I should really just learn to listen to other bloggers when they tell me I should read a book. Shade is one of the best, most unique paranormals I have read!

The characters in Shade are spectacularly well-developed. There wasn't a single character that I felt I couldn't understand. I also ended up liking almost all of the characters, even the love triangle boys. Yes, there is a love triangle. No, it doesn't make you want to bang your head into a wall. Both Logan and Zachary are great guys. It is very easy to understand why Aura has feelings for both of them. I also think the love triangle is very interesting because one of the guys is a ghost. (I'm all for Zachary though! That accent! Swoon!)

The story is really what makes this book so fantastic. Everyone who was born after the Shift can see and talk to ghosts. Aura wants to know why and how the Shift happened so that she can learn about her mom and dad. The Shift has something to do with megaliths like Stonehenge and Newgrange. Seriously one of the most interesting paranormal stories I have read. I am eager to see how everything ties together.

Jeri Smith-Ready's writing is another plus for this book. Her writing style is so easy to get used to and it makes the book very hard to put down. Jeri Smith-Ready is one amazing writer.

Overall, if you have waited this long to read Shade there is something wrong with you (only kidding, kind of.) Definitely get your hands on a copy of this one as soon as possible!
