From Publishers Weekly

Buffyesque baker Rae "Sunshine" Seddon meets Count Dracula's hunky Byronic cousin in Newbery-Award-winner McKinley's first adult-and-then-some romp through the darkling streets of a spooky post-Voodoo Wars world. Now that human cities have been decimated, the vampiric elite holds one-fifth of the world's capital, threatening to control all the earth in less than 100 years, unless human SOFs (Special Other Forces) can hold them at bay by recruiting Sunshine, daughter of legendary sorcerer Onyx Blaise. As breathlessly narrated by Sunshine herself, the Cinnamon Roll Queen of Charlie's Coffeehouse, in the inchoate idiom of Britney, J. Lo and the Spice Girls, Sunshine's coming-of-magical-age launches when she is swarmed by noiseless vampires one night and chained in a decrepit ballroom as an entr‚e for mysterious, magnetic, half-starved Constantine, a powerful vampire whose mortal enemy Bo (short for Beauregard) shackled him there to perish slowly from daylight and deprivation. Most of the charm of this long venture into magic maturation derives from McKinley's keen ear and sensitive atmospherics, deft characterizations and clever juxtapositions of reality and the supernatural that might, just might, be lurking out there in "bad spots" right around a creepy urban corner or next to a deserted lake cabin. McKinley knows very well-and makes her readers believe-that "the insides of our own minds are the scariest things there are."

From Booklist

Rae Seddon, nicknamed Sunshine, lives a quiet life working at her stepfather's bakery. One night, she goes out to the lake for some peace and quiet. Big mistake. She is set upon by vampires, who take her to an old mansion. They chain her to the wall and leave her with another vampire, who is also chained. But the vampire, Constantine, doesn't try to eat her. Instead, he implores her to tell him stories to keep them both sane. Realizing she will have to save herself, Sunshine calls on the long-forgotten powers her grandmother began to cultivate in her when she was a child. She transforms her pocketknife into a key and unchains herself--and Constantine. Surprised, he agrees to flee with her when she offers to protect him from the sun with magic. They escape back to town, but Constantine knows his enemies won't be far behind, which means that he and Sunshine will have to face them together. A luminous, entrancing novel with an enthralling pair of characters at its heart. Kristine Huntley

5.0étoiles sur 5 Sunshine & Constantine SO HOT!, Jui 7 2009
Par Deanne Buss - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sunshine (Mass Market Paperback)
I really loved this story. Although, I wish it was more about Sunshine & Constantine. I pretty much skimmed through all the parts without the two of them together. Everything else was a waste of time to read. The ending was lacking finality. Robin peaked and then lost it. Hate when that happens. I definitely recommend it but warn you that you'll wish somethings were more and others less. Happy reading!

3.0étoiles sur 5 Great Premise but Too Slow, Mars 23 2008
Par Bronwyn M. Guiton "bronwynmaye" (Ottawa, ON, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Sunshine (Mass Market Paperback)
I was really looking forward to this book because it had been recommended so highly and because I usually love vampire books with an interesting female protagonist.
Unfortunately, I had to put the book down after reading just 1/3rd of it because things were really dragging. I love dialogue but it seemed like for every two or three lines of dialogue there was two or three pages of internal monologue.
Internal monologue just didn't do it for me.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Engrossing, entertaining but not really vampiric, Juil 5 2005
This review is from: Sunshine (Mass Market Paperback)
If you're a fan of novels that feature dryly humourous heroines, the sort of story in which the principal character doesn't take herself and the world too seriously even when she's engaged in serious pursuits, you might really like this novel. If you're looking for vampire fiction in the truest sense or want vampiric romance, you'll want to look elsewhere.

As another reviewer here has noted, this is more of a character driven fantasy novel which just happens to have vampires in it, along with other fantasy elements and creatures (e.g. magic, werewolves, alternate dimensions, elemental forces, etc.). The main heroine here is something like a merger between an asexual Anita Blake and Fanny Flagg's Ninny Threadgood character. Fans of Charles de Lint might like the plot in this, though the writing is nowhere near as lyrical, of course.

Something that both engaged and annoyed me in equal measure in this book was the frequent introduction and fleshing out of supporting characters, only to ignore them for the remainder of the novel. This, combined with the way the whole story ended, left a huge opening for followup books, giving me the impression that the writer wrote it with the intent to create a literary franchise out of it. If this does happen, I hope she spends time telling the story of Sunshine's sort-of boyfriend Mel as well as that of her landlady. Both are intriguing enough characters to warrant novels of their own.

Oh - a small aside...if you are trying to diet and have a hard time avoiding temptations to eat sweets, you might want to pass on this book, as the frequent references to scrumptious pastries can be diverting.
