From one ending comes a new beginning…

Ruby was murdered on Earth eighteen years ago and reincarnated on Zadok as a Pastel Zeek named Harlow. To be born at the bottom of her race’s caste colour system to a middle-class family of Magentas has made Harlow a source of conflict amongst the ruling Purples, and a source of derision from all three colours.

When Harlow is attacked by a fuegor on Zadok, the effects of its slow reacting venom triggers an unforeseen phenomenon, and due to the strong connection she had with her former twin sister Jade, her human spirit is unexpectedly drawn back to Earth.

Now living a double life, she has plunged into a world of intrigue on both planets.

On earth, she watches on in horror as Jade reconnects with Lucas, the man who murdered her and got away with it. And to complicate things further, she’s being pursued by Alex, the ghost of Lucas’ twin. On Zadok, she becomes embroiled with Jax, the son of the Commanding family. He’s determined to bring about change to the colony’s colour system, but it’ll come at a cost.

As Harlow mixes with the political intrigue of the Zeeks, will she become a victim of those trying to rigidly maintain the status quo or will she usher in a revolution?

And will ghost Ruby resist the temptation of the handsome Alex or pursue an impossible relationship that could have dire consequences on both planets?

Review

First of all, how is this book not more popular? With such an interesting and well executed concept I really don't think this book is getting anywhere near the attention it deserves.

In Pastel Pink we live on the planet Zadok, a place where people reincarnate to when they die on Earth. Ruby was murdered on Earth eighteen years ago and reincarnated as our main character Harlow. When Harlow's human spirit is suddenly able to visit her twin sister, Jade, while Harlow sleeps, she finds Jade unknowingly getting closer to her murderer. With Harlow being unable to communicate with Jade she must watch helplessly as this tainted friendship continues. Oh and if that isn't enough, there's also a color system on Zadok. Pastel being the lowest, Magenta in the middle and Purple at the top. With Harlow being a Pastel born into a family of Magenta's the last thing she needs is to get in trouble in both worlds, especially after she is befriended by an important purple.

I loved this, it had everything my little heart could have ever hoped for and more. The writing is enchanting, the characters are fleshed out into beings you actually care about, the world building is incredible, the book is an absolute masterpiece. There's Suspense, fear, action, drama and a cliffhanger that throws a gut punch before leaving you there to deal with the havoc it just created in your soul.

I couldn't adore this book more. If you're into Paranormal sci-fi with the tiniest touch of romance I'd highly recommend treating yourself with Pastel Pink.
