I was at Target the other day and check this out....on the shelf a book I reviewed and got to read before half the population!I was pretty stoked. I am enjoying reviewing books and the best part my boss had an author respond to one of my reviews. I'm not going to lie---it made my whole day! My last book to read was The Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. It was out in February, but I still enjoyed reading it!
The Haunting of Sunshine Girl by Paige McKenzie Review by Ms. America: (Taken from BooksandWhatnot.com)
I have a love/hate relationship with books that I know are going to be a series. You make me love you, but then you make me wait. This new series is a page turner from beginning to end, and Paige McKenzie brilliantly hooks the reader with Sunshine. The protagonist, duly named Sunshine, is a teenager who is uprooted from her life in Texas before she is to start her junior year in high school. The stage is set from the beginning of the novel by a voice telling the reader of Sunshine’s 16th birthday party and the moment when she blows out the candles by the slight chill she receives and the racing of her heart—momentarily there, but so slight that even Sunshine questions if she felt it.
The reader soon discovers the house Sunshine moved into is haunted by a little girl and the reenactment of her horrendous death. The reader won’t be able to turn the pages fast enough as the death is told in minute details. It was bone chilling. Sunshine has to figure out who has caused the little girls demise, as well as the personality change in her once best friend and mother. Sunshine must learn who she is in order to survive the hauntings of her home and save herself, and those she loves, from going past the light into the dark side.
