Color Me Grey by Michelle Janine Robinson was an excellent book. Once I read the first chapter I just could not put the book down. I think the author did an excellent job with her first novel, and I am looking forward to her next one.

From the very first pages of this amazingly written novel, I felt caught up in the life of the main character, Bridget Grey, and every other character introduced after her. The author's way of putting words to the page and developing the characters and situations throughout the entire story made it impossible for me to put this book down. You will be amazed from the first words right right up until the last. Hard to believe that this is Ms. Robinson's first novel - where has she been hiding. A fantastic read - you will not be disappointed. Cannot wait to read more of this author's work.

I always wanted to read this book but just never got a chance to grab it. My god it was great just like I thought it would be. I wondered if something like this would really happen. Anyway, I think the book was well thought out and well executed. Good Job Michelle

This book was really good. It took kind of long to get to the point, but other than that it was great.This was sure a mystery w/ alot of twists & turns. Good Work

Color Me Grey by Michelle Janine Robinson is one of the best and most interesting Urban Fiction novels I have ever read. I love the way she spent time developing her characters throughout the novel as well as developing her extremely intriguing plots, and her action packed situations. Her main character, the beautiful mahogany-skinned Bridget Grey is an extremely intriguing character, one that lives on the pages of this well developed epic tale. Her story is so well written that I truly believed that this woman was indeed a real and living human being as I read the novel. Although Ms. Grey finds herself locked in a vicious nightmare when she becomes pregnant and despite the fact that her husband is of African-American decent, she through a act of God gives birth to twins, a girl named Jasmine who is dark-skinned with dark hair and dark eyes, and Jacob who is blond-haired and blue-eyed. In her attempt to put her life on the right track, Bridget discovers a trail of betrayal that begins when she was living at a Child's shelter where she has a long drawn out encounter with a character by the name of Jade Smith. With Jade holding secrets over Bridget's head, Bridget is caught up on a emotional roller-coaster and she is forced to either find a way out by suicide or facing her demons. Michelle develops her characters brilliantly as the situations they face are so detailed that the reader can't help but feel as if they're a part of the story. This is a must read and I would definitely read more from this author - 5 Stars.
