Overview
Shade: Girl on a hero's journey, going from smart-ass to badass.
This boxed set contains all six books in the YA Paranormal Mystery / YA Urban Fantasy Shade series.
Thanks to her offbeat mother, Shade's full name is Galactic Shade Griffin. Having a name like that while being the new girl in school is pretty much catnip for bullies. In her junior year of high school, her mom unwittingly moves them to a haunted house. The one good thing to come out of that: Shade discovers she's a ghost whisperer, a person ghosts contact when they need help, sometimes to solve their own murder.
After graduating from high school, Shade attends a college for the magically gifted where she continues to solve crimes related to ghosts and other magical creatures. She also makes friends with students who have other magical skills: faeries, witches, selkies, shapeshifters and more. And as Shade excels in magic school, she's sent abroad as a foreign exchange student where she continues to solve crimes in the world of the paranormal. In Scotland, she even helps Nessie the Loch Ness Monster!
Although this series deals with a number of serious issues—drug and alcohol abuse, cutting, and disturbing world events—it's primarily about a teenaged girl finding out who she really is and that she's capable of so much more than she ever thought possible.
Shade (Shade Series Book 1):

Shade and the Castle by the Sea (Shade Series Book 3):
Semi-Finalist, Young Adult category, 2020 Kindle Book Awards.

Learning that the pure-blood faeries wield way too much power in a system that holds others back, Shade also begins fighting to change the status quo.
