When I was younger, I fell in love with Robin McKinley's Hero and the Crown and the Blue Sword. I reread those books over and over again. When I recently learned that she actually wrote adult novels too, I almost fell over my feet in giddiness. I decided to try Sunshine since she had won awards for it but when I read the description, I was kind of hesitant. Lately, there has been a HUGE overabundance of vampire novels and I was scared that it would be another Twilight (Sorry Twilight fans, but I really could not stand that book). My fears were quickly put to rest. The vampires in this novel are SCARY and not human in all the ways that matter that makes them wonderful. They aren't sparkly. They are ugly. They are the embodiment of the terrifying things that go bump in the night. I relished this. The main character, Sunshine, is also my kind of girl. Usually, I get irritated about main female characters in fantasy novels especially if they are written in a first-person manner because they often fall into the "I'm beautiful and helpless" or the "I'm so cool and bitchy because I'm bad ass" camp. Sunshine is cool because she has powers but at the same time, she gets scared and tired and snarky and sometimes doesn't want to brush her hair. She fights with her mom and struggles with herself. Basically, she's a regular girl(with cool powers). Her train of thought is basically what our train of thought would be if we were stuck in the same situation. And the vampire she saves never stops being a scary-as-hell-never-going-to-be-human-quite-ugly vampire but in the end, I fall in love with him just a little bit. The plot starts off a bit slow but once I made myself keep reading, I found that I wasn't able to put it down. The world created is as familiar as our own suburbs but set in the context that magic users and Other creatures exist. The world works seamlessly, immersive but also easy to figure out. This is definitely an adult novel. There's sex stuff, tons of cussing, and blood & gore galore but Robin McKinley handles these in proper way. Sex taboos between human & vampire are still there and dealt with maturely (Not to mention that Sunshine has this amazing tattooed biker boyfriend named Mel). Cussing is part of the characterization. And the blood & gore are never gratuitous. I loved it.
