A convoluted tale of half-bloods, vampires and humans -- oh my. I can't really explain what I read because it was so chalked full of details that the main story got lost in the middle of all the descriptions. I will try to sum it up. Sunshine, for whom the book is titled after, is a half blood. She discovers this after being captured by vampires as a type of sacrifice for another vampire - who is also being held captive. The two escape together and form a friendship/relationship that is hard to grasp entirely (again because of all the descriptiveness). Together, with the help of a special "police" force kind of like Scully and Moulder from the x-files, they hunt the head vampire and gang that held them captive to stop whatever fiendish plan the evil vampires have in mind. I did enjoy the whole concept of a world with "Others" ranging from vampires to demons to werepeople to magic users. I also enjoyed the dialogue when it was flowing really well -- far from any three or four paragraph descriptions of something. The whole concept of Sunshine being a fabulous pastry chef had me cracking a smile through the numbness of the lulls in the book. I'm still not quite sure what I read... but the end did make up for the monotony of the book.
