Dr. Jenna Ramey #0.5
Plain Sight
In this eBook exclusive short story from Colby Marshall, the brash, clever Dr. Jenna Ramey once again uses her synesthesia—a neurological condition that causes perceptions of color to flash through her mind, triggered by seemingly unrelated stimuli—to help save lives. Only this time, she doesn’t yet hold the title of doctor, hasn’t yet worked as a profiler for the FBI, and the lives she’s rushing to save are her families’ and her own.
As a teenager, Jenna Ramey knows there’s something unusual about her brain. A perceptual quirk punctuates her experiences with flashes of color. Letters, days of the week, people, emotions all have colors assigned them in her mind, seemingly at random. She’s known she had the associations since she can remember. It’s only recently that she’s realized she can use these flashes of color and interpret them to understand situations and people in ways others cannot.
Recently, Jenna has realized that her mother is up to something... evil. She's resolved to master using her unique ability to prove what her mother is doing in order to stop the plot before the black widow kills them all.
Don’t miss this glimpse into Dr. Jenna Ramey’s highly-charged past that will intrigue new readers and will delight series fans itching to know more about the fateful events that changed Jenna's life forever.

Short story with backstory of the main character in the Dr. Jenna Ramey series. If you have not read the first book (Color Blind) the cliffhanger at the end of this story suddenly stops and will be somewhat disappointed. Having said that, the writing is excellent and the story weaves details smoothly.
