Welcome
to Maureen’s Books Wednesday’s Favorites. In the Wednesday’s Favorites
post I will talk about a book I loved and that I think deserves a
little more attention. I read popular books, but also many books that
aren’t so popular (yet). In this post all sorts of books from all sorts
of genre’s will have a chance to shine. Today’s Wednesday’s Favorites
is ‘Sunshine’ by Nikki Rae, a book I read in April 2014.
The Book:
Sophie Jean is pretty good at acting normal. 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.

to her. She can cover up the scars she’s made for herself. Ignore anything.

Then Myles enters her life, and he has more than a few secrets of his own.
Sophie discovers that when she’s with him she is feeling too much. 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.
But Sophie can deal with this little glitch, no problem. 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.

Praise for ‘Sunshine’:
Ultimately, this book was awesome and I’m so happy that I took a chance on it! I’m
definitely going to be continuing with the series and I’d highly recommend it
to fans of dark romances, YA that borders NA, light paranormal plot lines, and
very relatable and developed characters.

Like I said
before, when I started this I was panicking about it being another
stereotypical school drama with some vampire action thrown in, but I couldn’t
have been more wrong and blown away.

Sunshine was
definitely a unique and emotional story. I wasn’t sure what to expect from it,
but I was pleasantly surprised to find a very well put together story with well-built
characters that I’m anxious to learn more about.

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.
