*REVIEW*Sunshine(The Sunshine Series) By Nikki Rae



Sunshine(Sunshine Series Book 1)
By Nikki Rae

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.

REVIEW

5 STARS

I was given a Copy of Sunshine for an honest review.

  Sunshine tells the story of Sophie who honestly does not have the best life.Her mom is this evil mother who has no love for her.Her Ex-Boyfriend hurt her quite badly.She has a huge issue.She cannot go out into the sunlight.She is allergic to it.Myles is the new guy in school who just happens to be there for Sophie ever single time she needs help.Every time.
  I was entrenched in Sunshine.Did not want to put it down.I was intrigued by Sophie.Her affliction.It made me wonder just what made her different and why she had that.My heart broke for her knowing everything that she had to deal with at such a young age.Myles is a character who I wish I had been able to get to know him better.Know his feelings.He was hard to read sometimes.
  I feel the writing was good.I think there were times when the story felt a bit slow but then other times when it was perfectly paced.There was an incident in the story that had me confused but once I was able to sort it out everything was fine.It just could have been clearer.The Secondary Characters were great!I loved getting to know them.Especially Jade and Stevie.
  The main goal of a book is for it grab my attention,keep me there and pull me into its world.Sunshine Succeeded in doing just that.I was glued to my kindle until it died.I admit I almost cried when it died.Yes i know that rhymed. Nikki Rae's Debut Novel Sunshine Rocks and is a great start to Her Sunshine series!Great Job Nikki!

 College freshman Corrine Whitmore has the perfect life, up until a tragic event at a campus fraternity party. She spirals into a deep life altering depression afterwards. A chance meeting with fellow student, William Darcy changes everything. The two are soul mates, and find the kind of love most people only dream about.

Nobody ever said living happily ever after was easy, but for William and Corrine it might just not even be possible.

**REVIEW**Possible spoilers

    I feel bad writing this review.I honestly tried and I failed to finish this book.I thought the summary sounded excellent and then I started reading it.I couldnt get past the writing;parts of it felt forced,there were times when it felt like the characters were in different time periods.I mean if you are a vampire..you would learn to speak with the times.I had already figured out what William was prior to being told.There was a part in the book where Will has to save Corrine from an  evil ex boyfriend he says and I quote “Let her go if you don’t want to die right here!”I had the urge to say En Guarde and hand him a sword .The wording just felt so wrong..This guy is supposed to be scaring someone and I was not the least bit scared of him.Its throughout the book it felt so choppy.There was also a part where the Mom was brought back to life who had passed away when Corrine was 3 (I know this was a simple typo however it may confuse people).
    I don't enjoy writing negative reviews,I know this is just my opinion of the book.Perhaps others will enjoy it.I tried..I really did.I think it could be a great book I personally just think it needs edited and some of the word usage needs to be fixed.Also in the Chapters when you go back and forth between characters perhaps instead of having a huge (Back to Corrine's side of the story) A simple Corrine right about the writing under the chapter number.
