Sunshine

In a semi-apocalyptic world where vampires, were-beings and demons run amok, and where SOFs—Special Other Forces—exist to keep them in line, coffeehouse baker Rae “Sunshine” Seddon spends her days basking in sunlight, surrounded by family and the tantalizing scent of her cinnamon rolls. But when she is captured by stealthy and silent vampires while sitting outside her grandmother’s cabin, things get bad. And when she gets chained to the wall in an abandoned house in the middle of the woods in the same room as a hungry vampire named Constantine, things get worse. It’s disturbing that there’s a vampire sitting right in front of her. What’s even more disturbing, it is the vampire that put her there. Sunshine and Constantine form an unlikely team, as they struggle to leave the house that was their prison, and as they fight Bo, Constantine’s mortal, or rather immortal, enemy and the reason that Constantine was held captive. Told entirely from Sunshine’s perspective, the book is simultaneously funny, creepy, and sexy. Though there are times when the narrative runs too long in an effort to be descriptive, the character development and the relationship between Sunshine and Constantine is what will push the reader through the dull bits. Written by Robin McKinley, this book is something that readers of supernatural fiction will adore.
