Publisher's Summary:
Named both an E-Lit Gold Medal winner (Horror), a Silver Feather (IWPA) winner, and a Lucky Cinda winner while leading all books in recommendations for the Bram Stoker in the YA category (2012), The Color of Evil: A Paranormal Thriller, is the first book in the young adult series by the same name (The Color of Evil).
Tad McGreevy has a power that he has never revealed, not even to his life-long best friend, Stevie Scranton. When Tad looks at others, he sees colors. These auras tell Tad whether a person is good or evil. At night, Tad dreams about the evil-doers, reliving their crimes in horrifyingly vivid detail.
But Tad doesn't know if the evil acts he witnesses in his nightmares are happening now, are already over, or are going to occur in the future. He has no control over the horrifying visions. He has been told (by his parents) never to speak of his paranormal power. All Tad knows is that he wants to protect those he loves. And he wants the bad dreams to stop.
At Tad's eighth birthday party (April 1, 1995) in Cedar Falls, Iowa, the clown his parents hire to entertain Tad's third-grade classmates is one of the bad people. Pogo, the Killer Clown (aka Michael Clay) is a serial killer. So begins 53 nights of terror as Tad relives Pogo's crime, awakens screaming, and recites the terrifying details to his disbelieving family. The situation becomes so dire that Tad is hospitalized in a private institution under the care of a psychiatrist -who also does not believe the small boy's stories of having paranormal power.
And then the police arrest Pogo, the Killer Clown. Flash forward to the beginning of Tad's junior year in high school, eight years later. Tad is 16 and recovered from the spring of his third-grade year. When Michael Clay was caught and imprisoned, the crime spree ended and so did Tad's bad dreams.
Until now, in the year of our Lord 2003, when evil once again stalks the land.

Creepy good!
When Tad McGreevey opens the door, he falls back in fear. Standing before him is Pogo the Clown, hired to entertain the kids at his eighth birthday party.
Itâs not the clown suit that terrifies him. Itâs the aura that surrounds him. Tad can see auras, or colors, around people. Different auras show whether that person is good or bad. Pogoâs aura is gray-green, or khaki, the worst color.
Nothing happens at his birthday party, but Tad suffers 53 days of nightmares. Pogo is a serial killer and Tad sees each violent killing in his dreams.
Night after night he wakes up screaming and no one is getting any sleep. His family doesnât believe in his visions and Tad spends a brief time in a psychiatric hospital before Pogo the Clown is caught and his horrific deeds are revealed.
The author then takes you forward eight years. Tadâs nightmares ended when Pogo was caught and his biggest problem now is that Jenny, one of his best friends, is hot for bad boy Jeremy, while Tadâs feelings for her have changed from platonic to to romantic. He is falling for her.
Tadâs nightmares begin again. This time he canât see the crime as clear. Canât quite tell who the killer or victim is. And his dreams donât tell him whether the crime is going to happen, whether itâs happening now, or whether itâs yet to occur. But it will happen. And his biggest fear is not being able to do anything about it.
Something this author does and does well is catch you unawares.
