Sunshine

Author: Mckinley, Robin
This exceptionally entertaining novel features a highly likable and relatable protagonist and a bunch of vampires that are a far more accurate representation of the blood sucking fiends, in comparison to their young adult fiction counterparts. These vampires are rotting, blood sucking, walking dead, which when you think about it, is a far more accurate illustration of what a traditional vampire really is. Although the label ‘vampire romance’ may instill fear in your heart, don’t be fooled by this generalized label of McKinley’s novel. McKinley designs a dynamic cast of characters within her largely well-conceived plot, giving readers a taste of some unconventional characters in a vampire story. ‘Sunshine’ is a novel that strayed far from McKinley’s usual writing style and genre, making it a refreshing read for McKinley fans. While the X-rated themes in this novel make it more appropriate for young adults, the mature and tactful writing style employed by McKinley makes it suitable for teens and adults alike. Far from a trashy teen romance that populates the paranormal romance genre (which, regrettably, has given the high-quality, more serious works of Vampire fiction a bad name), McKinley makes a feisty, truly admirable protagonist who shines in the face of danger, keeping you enthralled as her story unfolds.
