Sheldon doesn't care about anyone except Corrigan and Bryce. The three of them rule their school, but it seems someone else wants in on the action or that someone else just wants Sheldon. How many bodies is enough to prove their love to her?
This book is dark and edgy with sexual situations, drinking, swearing, murder, and more messed-up parents.

Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan...
3 best friends......2 of them are a little more than friends but not quite exclusive at the same time.
Because emotionally, Sheldon is scarred beyond repair by her parents. So she can't open up fully to anyone, not even her 2 best friends. She's the only child of wealthy parents who just don't have time for her and she's had to raise herself for many years. Bryce and Corrigan are the only 2 people that she trust with everything except her emotions.
Their bond is tight and I mean impossible to penetrate. NO ONE gets in to their inner circle and everyone in their high school is very aware of this fact.
Some are jealous of this fact and others are envious, then there are some who will try ANYTHING to be noticed by the group.
Bryce is the mohawked bad boy soccer player. He's the quiet one but he has so much charisma that when he enters the room all the girls want him but he only wants one girl. Hummmmmm can you guess which girl he wants?
Corrigan is the out of control football jock that everyone loves......he's that guy that everyone would want to be friends with guys and girls. Let me just say he knows it too:)
This is a book about high school and all the ups and downs that go with it. It also shows emotionally how SOME people grow and overcome trivial high school drama and others don't.
Now in comes the stalker....YES we get a stalker in this book!!! The stalker is CRAZY so we get a little murder mystery mixed the high school drama:)). Hey I was up for anything with this book so it worked for me!
All in all I still think the Fallen Crest series is my favorite by this author but I still really liked this book!! The characters were believable and I enjoyed them. I even liked Denton, the movie star neighbor that throws a little twist in the story occasionally.......lets just say there's a little crush going there that could be developed more in the books to follow.
I'm very excited about the next book because high school is over and the group is moving on.......I'm hoping some of the childish nonsense will fade. But if not I'm ok with it sometimes I like to read something different.....change things up!
So off I go to start book 2:))

I’ve said it before I’ll say it again.
Tijan ROCKS!
Her ability to write total douchebags is awesome!
I mean seriously..
Our main characters are Bryce, Corrigan and Sheldon.
And they are MEAN.
ASSHOLES
JERKS
Douchebags
Bitches
What ever you want to call them…
Sheldon - Is hot… but she is the queen of sarcasm and come backs. She cares about 2 things in life.
Corrigan and Bryce.
Avoid’s “emotion” at all times. Sleeping with Bryce.
Try and get between them and she will bring you down.
Corrigan – is a man-whore. The flirty sleeps with everything pretty boy. The fun guy.
Has been friends with Sheldon and Bryce forever. He also has a temper. And frequently ends up in the lick up overnight because of it.
Try to get in between them and he will hurt you.
Bryce – Mohawk tattooed hot guy. Strong silent type. Soccer star. Screws around with other girls, except when Sheldon is around.
Mess with either Sheldon or Corrigan and he will make your life hell.
They don’t realise it. But they rule the school.
They just don’t care.
Until it turns serious…
Not only does Bryce admit he wants more and starts pushing Sheldon that she loves him too, and she needs to start talking about her emotions.
Someone wants to hurt Sheldon…
They start picking at the people she is friends with.. or as the stalker says the Queens “minions.”
How long until they go after the only 2 people she loves?
Who’s her stalker?
What if it is Bryce or Corrigan?
Bryce and Corrigan are hiding something… What is it?
You’ll have to read this epic first book to find out!
I do need to point out that although there is a number 2 book, we are not left with a cliff-hanger.
The second book is a continuation from high school to college.
Not a continuation of this stalker.
This story is all wrapped up nicely at the end.
On to the 2nd!

What a...weird story. I didn't connect at all with the characters, and I'm not sure I liked the plot.. But somehow the book was okay enough for me to finish, yet not okay enough for me to really like it.. Tijan's writing style is so...odd for me, yet intriguing... She should, however, make the characters connect to their readers, or perhaps it's just me who didn't connect with them?.... OH and I didn't like Logan, just sayin'! :P Oh and what an ending? I don't get it. Sheldon is...not quite alright in her head. I mean, It just ain't right...
Rate: 2.5 stars.

What I love about Tijan - she doesn't pose the main characters as good guys. They typically are arrogant jerks, but are fiercely loyal. Not sure how she does it, but you relate to them, even cheer for them. Tijan's writing is like book crack...keep wanting the next she has to offer!!!

4 "intense, messed up, mystery, suspense YA drama" stars
And i just gave you the essence of the Jaded story...
I 've read it expecting everything i know Tijan delivers in her books, i wasn't disappointed, i did have slight remarks in details considering the build up of mystery and suspense factor but it was all very well covered up in layers of intense action that i 've intentionally decided to overlook those "lacking" details.
I kinda think that these Jaded characters : Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan served as ancestors/pre-models to those that we all know as The Fallen Crest High trio of YA legends - Samantha, Mason and Logan...
The connections and blood relations might be different in this book than those you know of in Fallen Crest High series but the "game" is still the same.
February 20, 2014
Yeah, so apparently, TIJAN’s books are like crack – except, it never really feels good. It’s like I skip the high and end up at the bitter-guilty-regretful aftermath. I don’t know why I keep coming back for more when I know it’s not gonna end well.
TIJAN truly outdid herself on this one. Sheldon, Corrigan, and Bryce (I’ve never in my life met anyone with these names btw) are three best friends who rule their little high-school. Sheldon and Bryce have a sweet little FWB arrangement. We all know how that turns out. Corrigan’s your typical hot-tempered play boy jock, and the three put together are ruthless, heartless, sick, and depraved. There’s no love-triangle b/w the three, in case you were wondering.
I’m still trying to decide whether that was refreshing or frustrating. Unless I haven’t emphasized this enough, this book is no exception. TIJAN’s books are not for the faint hearted. Her characters are beyond F#CKED.
Between the crazy stalker crap, FWB boy-girl drama, the “counseling sessions,” the constant under aged drinking and the many, many, many sex scenes and intense family drama … I just felt tired, violated, assaulted, and again – guilty at the end of it all. The thing about reading TIJAN is that her stories make me feel sick to my stomach; they make me feel like shit.
The guys aren’t swoony or hot or romantic in the least. And Sheldon was so so so damaged. There was NOTHING about her that I could relate to. I was secretly thankful I never knew anyone like her. I pray that I will never ever meet anyone like her. She was truly horrible.
I just don’t get all the rave reviews about this one. There’s just nothing compelling about her stories or characters. It’s all just sick, and I don’t understand why people would romanticize this kind of bullshit. FWB, drinking, self-destructive, self-deprecating behavior, and then the whole stalker thing unfolding the way it did? It was just gross and wrong and blah.
I really hope this is my last TIJAN book. Probably not, but I really, really hope so.

Jaded 31/2 stars
Yeah, I'm really disappointed with how the beginning started off. I kept starting over and over till I had free time today and just managed to finish it before I gave up after two chapters.
I don't really want to be biased but I kind of was trying my hardest to not compare it with FCP (cause for me, it felt like similar characters). So I'd say there is a difference but not a whole lot. If you've read this then you'll know what I mean.
Overall, though it's a good storyline but what it lacked was captivating the whole vibe of the story.
It was slow, it was confusing and it was a little boring (sorry) but lets just say that Bryce is definitely the man and Corrigan is sooooo fun. I love Tijan and although it wasn’t what I expected it’s different and also readable.

5+++ REFRESHING STARS
Tijan you did it again. You blew me away.
Titan knows what we females want:
Bad boys? Checked.
Bad boys who are panty-droppingly hot? Checked.
Bad boys who are panty-droppingly hot and protective and loyal to you? Checked.
Thoughts? Well I think Tijan is a genius. You can feel the realism of the interactions, short; it's realistic.
The book makes you feel cold, broken, frustrated and you keep reading it because you seek warmth, reassurance, a HEA.
I love it. I love it. I love it. This is my third book of Tijan's and I loooove it.
Tijan's books are very REFRESHING, and I wish a lot more people knew about how amazing her books are.
WARNING: quotes below may be spoilers to you.
Favorite quotes/parts:
"We were best friends and lovers, but girlfriend/boyfriend limited us beneath what we were. We were more and I was loath to take a label that didn’t justify who I was or how I felt."
"Even there, even with the hatefully-charged words and recriminations, even with all of that—I wanted him. I wanted him deep and I wanted him forever."
Bryce stayed in my arms and he gazed at me as I waited for him to see what was in my eyes.
He stopped as he saw it. His breath left him in that exact moment. And I took it in. I let the warmth fill my lungs as I bent and softly met his lips, tenderly. I kissed him, a loving kiss, and I whispered against the corner of his lips, “I love you.”
Bryce shifted and slid my hips down to meet his. He went inside and I gasped. My eyes closed as did his and we felt each other for the first time in four years of being intimate.

Five Stars For Bryce and Sheldon
This is my second series start by Tijan and yet again I was not disappointed! I started two different books earlier in the week, got to about 60% and gave up. Seeing that I've been having such a bad reading week I was scared it would continue on with "Jaded" but thankfully it didn't!
Here we have another book full of cliques, drama and violence but this one is a bit different than "Fallen Crest High". The characters act a bit more like their age as well as the parents and teachers were surprisingly a bit more involved.
I appreciated Bryce and loved his quiet but confident demeanor. He had so much more outward emotion than Mason and with that I learned to love him in a different way.
I also loved Sheldon. From her take no shit attitude to her unwavering confidence! It made me sad that her personality was not appreciated for what it was. I know that it's wishful thinking to try and get high school kids to evolve but at times her morality was so firm that it became frustrating that other people could not adapt.

Wow! I am really glad that this is the first book in a series. I recently "discovered" Tijan and I really enjoy her books.
This one I thought was different. There are three best friends: Sheldon, Bryce, and Corrigan. Bryce and Sheldon actually are more than good friends, but the three of them are absolutely one group of BFF's. I don't know if I've ever read about a girl like Sheldon. She's downright mean and cruel at times, but after all she was given a bad deck of cards in life. Sheldon simply cannot express feelings, unless you count anger and bitterness.
I was definitely not expecting what I got in this book: rape, murder, really good suspense (especially the last 30-40 pages), and so many twists and turns. Every time I thought I knew who did what, who was lying and who was being truthful, I would be proven wrong...then again, maybe not. I love how Tijan ended this one! LOTS of twists!
I highly recommend this one. It's worth the time in my opinion.

This is not one of my favorite books from Tijan..... I couldn't stand Sheldon- her attitude, she was my least favorite character. I didn't even care about the other two. This seemed like a knock off version of the "Crew" Series minus the spice, the friendship, the angst but you add murder. It was boring at best.
September 3, 2013
OMG. I totally LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!
Okay, so I've never read a book that has such a bitch for a female character. However, I realize that she is in fact not ONLY a bitch, But she is loyal and is honest. She hates fake people who don't get to the point and will eat anyone who tries to mess with her family. Her family contains two boys, best friend and lover. Bryce and Corrigan have been Sheldon's protectors and have a bond that is thick of loyalty and love. Their friendship has worked because their are never lies... But that will change, will they always be together ruling the world?
Surprise, Surprise. Sheldon has a lot of enemies and a stalker who can't seem to get enough of her. Will her love for her two best friends change because of this stalker? Who will she turn to when she is broken? Is she even capable of love?

I was lost throughout this whole book. Just lost.
1. The names in this book were too distracting:
* Sheldon - I have never met a girl with this name before. All I think of when I hear this name is Sheldon from The Big Bang Theory!
* Corrigan - I'm next to positive I pronounced his name wrong during the entire book and I don't know about all of you but when I keep second guessing myself about the pronunciation of a name, it distracts from the actual TEXT.
* Bryce - I actually don't mind this name as much as the other two but he was one of the three main characters.
2. Wow. There was murder, s**, partying, drugs... There was a lot going on.
PLOT:
!!This has a lot of SPOILERS!!
okay, so the book starts off with teenagers in school, and of course they are talking about going to a party (but our leading lady Sheldon "doesn't" care about anything really) basically she is in class, sees her boyfriend/ not boyfriend Bryce and they have this rocky relationship throughout the whole book. Then they have this best friend Corrigan who is always getting into fights and being obnoxious.
All of a sudden (after the author spends tons of endless chapters going on about Bryce and Sheldon) some girl dies of being raped. Last time I checked wasn't this a YA book?
So after that Sheldon and the boys decide to take matters into their own hands and try to catch the guy because they think this all has to do with Sheldon (cue eye-roll). No one ever calls the cops- because apparently the cops are bad and out to get everyone -and no one even blinks an eye at how truly awful a person Sheldon is.
I'm sorry, I don't if high school was like this for you Tijan (where there was a Queen B and everyone either worshiped or hated her or both) but when I was in high school the popular people were nice, witty, and intelligent and actually cared about things. Not to say that there wasn't a girl who was mean and had a lot of friends to back her up, but Sheldon only had two friends and they were kind of rude and annoying as well. High school- when I was in it- didn't have people go looking for trouble. Usually they just tried to keep their parents from finding out.
OVERALL THOUGHTS ON THE AUTHOR
By now I have read a lot of Tijan books and I have really noticed that every book is just about the same thing with different character names.
*there is always a girl who is "tough" and can hold her own in a fight
*always has a school full of gorgeous guys (funny that none of them are described as being a red head; just as having blonde or brown hair) although sometimes there is an exception for one guy who not considered cute but in this case I'm pretty sure he ends hurting people in this book. (It's been a few months since I read it so you might have to fact check me on that)
*there is no parenting or not very good parenting in the book. I don't what this authors parents did to her but it must not have been very good because every book I have read by her has teenagers feeling alone and without parents to guide them. In some cases her books have the parents having a more messed up life than the kids.
*if there is even the slightest hint of a love triangle, always assume the girl will pick the dark and mysterious guy. A Tijan girl will never pick the outgoing one is the trend that I have noticed in her books.
*its in this book a little but very noticeable in others, that Tijan likes to have the main love interest of the girl be a sort of "brother" figure. In Fallen Crest High the girl ends up with one of her step brothers. In Carter Reed and in Broken and Screwed she has the girl end up with her the best friend of the her biological brother.
*in all her books, all teens care about is drugs, parties and s**.
I could go on and on about how much this authors bothers me and how I think she needs to go out in the world and find some new inspiration, but... I think I have made my point.
Hope this review helps the readers who are having mixed feelings about reading this author.

Holy smoke
It's been a long time since I gave a book
5 stars. But to give all the stars in regard to a character
So when I first found out this book, I was a bit skeptic but boy it feels good to be wrong sometimes.🍉
I swear I was here for shel alone. Totally biased!
She was cold, smart and sassy. What a bitch?
But I loved her for it !!
Seriously, this cover doesn't do justice...🥂

It's been a long time since I gave a book
5 stars. But to give all the stars in regard to a character
So when I first found out this book, I was a bit skeptic but boy it feels good to be wrong sometimes.🍉
I swear I was here for shel alone. Totally biased!
She was cold, smart and sassy. What a bitch?
But I loved her for it !!

4,5 Stars!
I bow down to my Queen Tijan!
It's simple, I just love everything she writes.
This was another story that had me questioning everything and everyone.
The suspense was so good.
Loved the Stalker theme.
Sheldon was some hell of an alpha chick and a perfect fit with Bryce and Corrigan.
Together they ruled their highschool.
Tijan has also a huge talent writing the most screwed up parents I ever read about.
Sheldon's parents were so busy with their own problems, that they forgot about their daughter.
The only family for her were Bryce and Corrigan.

Why did I love this so much???? I DONT FUCKING KNOW BUT CRYING BECAUSE ITS PERFECT.
P.S. This is totally a guilty obsession and I feel like I have a different rating scale for these
This friendship, I just wanna die because it's so cute, bitchy Sheldon, goober Corrigan, and baby Bryce. I just love them all. Oh my god. This is much more of a thriller than I thought it was gonna be. And just y'all need to read it. Fair warning though, if new adult ain't your thing, you probably won't like this. Ya girl loves some new adult and Tijan.
Just read it. Do it.

Loved this book, Loved this series. Love the alpha protective males in the this series. I love the suspense/mystery with the romance. Tijan is one of my favorite authors. Her books do not disappoint. The characters are all likeable. The book has an actual story. I could not put it down. Loved. Tijan is an amazing writer.
considering
September 22, 2013I see this author popping up everywhere, I need to read one!
Sheldon doesn't care about anyone except Corrigan and Bryce. The three of them rule their school, but it seems someone else wants in on the action. Or that someone else just wants Sheldon, but how many bodies is enough to prove their love to her?

October 7, 2013Can someone help me murder everyone in this book?
Bryce is annoying. Yes he is. And I hate him. He's a fucktard. I don't know why everyone likes him. Seriously who the fuck does he think he is? The president's son? Excuse me, Bryce, but you need to fucking know one thing: You can't just be mean like that. You can't make everyone hate someone just because you don't like them. FUCK YOU. DO YOU HEAR ME? FUCK YOU. God what a horrible person you are. You ain't rich. You're nothing. But you feel like you own everyone. I hate you so damn much, Bryce.
Shelodon:
Bitch, please, you ain't cool ok. You think being a horrible bitch is something great. If you haven't met Bryce and Corrigan you'd be a fucking rich loser. So be happy you met them ok. Be really happy. Huh who do I hate most, you or Bryce? I'd have to say I hate you equally. You're such a BITCH. You're not even hot ffs. You're a fucked up girl whose parents doesn't even care about her. Like I said if you haven't met your bff, you'd die of loneliness. How dare you be mean to people? How dare you? Does your father own the school? Does your father own the country? No. He's a loser just like you. Sex sex..That's all you know. You and Bryce are STUPID and annoying and should drop dead. Go to hell and rot there. Take Bryce with you.
Corri:
You, you're the one I tolerate in this book. Because you're kind of fun to read. Yes, that's right. You're the only funny person in this book. You're kind of cool. I love that you're not mean and horrible. What I hate about you is that anything Bryce and Sheldon tells you to do, you'd do. If they hate someone, you hate them too. Um.. Wake up already! Your life doesn't revolve around your two bffs. You can like who you want and hate who you want. You don't need Bryce and Sheldon's approval. Just....WAKE UP and save me from dying. Ok thanks.
And to the rest of the people in the book that I don't remember your names because icba: Wake up too. I want you to say 'Fuck Sheldon, Bryce and Corri' and you'd totally have my love. #promise
And to the people that died: SERVES YOU RIGHT for liking Sheldon. She's a devil..a nightmare. Because of her, you're dead now..lmao.
And Marcus(I think that's the killer's name right?)
OMG. I HEART YOU. I LOVE YOU. LOOOL. YOU'RE MY IDOL. Why didn't you kill Sheldon when you had the chance mate? WHY? But I can forgive you because you're amazing.
So, Tijan, what a disappointment this book was. I hate it a lot. I'm not even going to read book 2 and 3. I love your books, but this book is as horrible as this sandwich I'm eating.
just no.

I do love this girls writing style, this book was just as good as her others. Nothing like a little rich kid drama to get you going. Again the characters are not like anybody I knew back in high school.
Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan rule the school and everybody knows it. They are THE elite crowd that everybody wants to be a part of. These three are thick as thieves and trust nobody, just each other.
Because of Sheldon's quick wit and her way of telling people just how it is whether they like it or not, has made her the unofficial queen of the school. She loves Bryce like a boyfriend although she can't seem to show it, and Corrigan as a best friend.
Somebody is after Sheldon, so the book becomes a who done it. So many people hate/envy her, it is hard to figure out who it may be. While being entertained with that, Tijan also keeps you busy with the ever changing the relationship between Bryce and Sheldon.
Great writer, great book!

5 stars.
4 flames.
Sheldon, Bryce, Corrigan.... Sigh. I loved this book. Sheldon is a great character, tough beautiful, snarky and broken. Bryce is quite the brooding bad boy with a heart. We all just love those. Corrigan makes the triangle complete. He is a funny pretty boy with an attitude. They all work well together. They are real to me. I could feel there turmoil. I smiled, I was sad, I was pissed off. I had all the feelings. Like I said fantastic book.
We follow Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan through there senior year. And what that Intel's crazy students, bad boys, absentee parents...The story twists into darkness. I loved it. Through everything they stick together. I highly recommend to everyone. I re- read often.

I have said this many times but will say it again. I LOVE all of Tijan's books. Saying that I must also say that Jaded had become my favorite. Sheldon has to be my favorite female book character. She is a strong bad ass who doesn't take anything from anyone. Of course she has issues but really who doesn't. I love the relationship between her and the guys, Bryce and Corrigan. They have a bond no one dares to come between. Jaded was a book that stayed on my mind even when I wasn't reading it to the point where I was having conversations with a friend as if these characters were real people! GREAT book and looking forward to many more from Tijan.

So...I'm a little disappointed right now.
Because Fallen Crest High is one of my all time favorite series and I thought I would love this one as well.
WRONG!
I didn't understand Sheldon, I couldn't connect to her...just plain simple I didn't like her.
Yes,I get that what's happening to her is very sad and all,but it's your choice if you let that define you.
I would have liked her more is she had been a little more...human maybe.Not like a robot all the time (Bryce said that as well and I couldn't agree more).
I don't know if I'm gonna read the next books in the series.But if that happens,it certainly won't be now,because I need a break from Sheldon.

Oh my. This series follows Sheldon, Bryce and Corrigan (sound a bit like Sam, Mason and Logan? Hell yeh). Sheldon and Bryce are rich and left to their own devices. Corrigan has a fab family and is their best friend. The three of them rule the school and no one else can get into their inner circle. Bryce and Sheldon both love each other but have difficulty admitting it. There is a killer on the lose and Sheldon's friends are the target. Can they catch the killer? Can things go back to normal?? What is normal? Another brilliant read from Tijan. For information. The audio version is even better. Therese Plummer narrates perfectly.

I keep saying this every time I read this author's books.
But I can't help it, this author just keeps getting me hooked more and more. And every time I start a book I just have this anticipation building until bam it just hits me. And I am just so shocked that I am speechless even after I have read the last page...
Another book that makes me think and makes me wonder about what goes on in schools today.
But also an eye opener. And even though I say I'm not doing another book like this I keep going back for more.
Awesome Read and always making me think.
Well done Tijan!

Man! I love all Tijan's book and this book was no expection. Another awesome book and I can't wait for Still Jaded. I loved Shelton and how tough and awesome she was. Bryce and Corrigan are awesome too, off course I love Bryce a little bit more. But the three of them together were pure amusement and I loved all of it!!!!!! Then though in the murders and mystery and that made it even better! Couldn't put it down!

4.5 all hail the Queen stars ;)
What. A. Ride!
Usually books with CRAZY angst aren't my thing but oh how I devoured this one!!
