3.5 stars. Fade is a rather unconventionally written crime story with a paranormal twist. It seems like a lot of other readers had a major problem with this but I particularly appreciated the time and date-stamped format of the book. That coupled with the fragmented third-person narration gave the novel a more detached and icy atmosphere, which I enjoyed. It almost felt like watching a psychological thriller with Danish subtitles, or something. Me likey.
