This book tells the story of Sunshine, who upon moving to her new home in Washington state, starts having eerie experiences, seeing odd things, and hearing horrifying things.
I pretty much burned through this book. There is enough suspense to keep me wanting more, but towards the end -- that is where this book really hooked me, and made me want to start the next one right away. This story slowly unravels, until we get to the really cool story of what Sunshine is and what her destiny is. The ending, is all action, and the very ending!! O_o
Overall: cool story with plenty of thrills and chills, but also lots of humor too.
