18 year old Sophie Jean is pretty good at acting normal. Sure, she’s not
exactly happy, but happiness is nothing compared to being like everyone else.
She can pretend she’s not allergic to the sun. She can hide what her ex-boyfriend
did to her. She can cover up the scars she’s made for herself. Ignore anything.
Forget anything. Then Myles enters her life, and he has more than a few secrets
of his own. When accident after accident keeps happening to Sophie, she can’t
help noticing that he’s everywhere. That he knows too much. That she’s
remembering too much.
It’s one thing covering up her own dark past, but does she really need to worry
about people finding out just how much Myles likes her? Or that despite how
much she doesn’t want to repeat past mistakes, she kind of likes him back? Not
to mention the fact that she now has to conceal that Myles drinks blood-that he
says he’s about four hundred years old.
She almost forgot about that part.
But Sophie has no plans to ruin the normal life she has created for herself.
She can deal with this little glitch, no problem. Even if word has gotten
around to the wrong vampire about Sophie and Myles, even if she’s putting the
few people she loves at risk. Suddenly, those who were monsters before are just
people, and the monsters? They’re real. Now being a normal human being is the
least of her problems. Now she has to stay alive.
Nikki Rae approached me to read and review her book ‘Sunshine’ I was immediately
so excited. This book sounded like my kind of thing. The thing that immediately
took my attention was the book cover of ‘Sunshine’. The cover is just so
beautiful. This book cover really made me want to read this book even more. It
really looks kind of dark and mysterious. And it really makes you want to read
this book. So a view days ago I started reading ‘Sunshine’.
from the beautiful cover this book immediately took my attention. From the very
first page I couldn’t wait to read more. Although Sophie is kind off in a dark
place and isn’t always very nice, I felt connected to her from the first page.
Sophie has been through a lot in her life and she tries to find a way to cope
with her past and her feelings. When Sophie thinks she is slowly finding her
way, not happy but still standing, Myles walks into her life. Myles is this gorgeous
mysterious guy who tries to be a part of Sophie’s life. But Sophie isn’t an
easy person to get to know and she makes it really hard for people to get close
to her.
liked about this book was that it took a long while before Sophie really could
lose up around Myles. And in most books everything moves so fast. Two people
meet and BOEM they fall in love. In ‘Sunshine’ it felt more real. Nobody jumped
into a relationship. Problems weren’t solved in just one chapter. Sophie and
Myles really had to work hard and learn to trust one another.
also liked about this story was that not only Sophie had her secrets, but Myles
also had his share of unsuspecting secrets. From the moment Myles enters this
story I was fascinated by him. I kept wondering what his secret was. And I
really laughed like crazy when I read the chapter where Myles told Sophie who
and what he really was. I think this part was really great:
say this. I think I’m kind of going into shock, and the first thing that pops
into my head when he says evolve is charmander evolving into a charizard.’
stop laughing. This book really has a lot of funny parts.
also really loved was the friends and family surrounding Sophie. Although she doesn’t
realize it, there are many people who love her and care about her. And her two
best friends are really really funny. I wish I had twin best friends. They were
hilarious.
book was definitely just as good as I hoped it would be. I really loved the
story and really love the way Nikki Rae started this series. ‘Sunshine’ really
makes you want to read more about
Sophie and Myles. I can’t wait to start the second book in this series.
is definitely a must read.
