4.5 starsSunshine in Darkness drew me in from the first page and I didn't want to let go even at the end.I found myself caring for Sunshine more than I expected. Her life has been torn apart by this intruder that has stolen her body. When she does get her body back, it's only to find herself being thrown into a mental institution for her crazy story about demon intruders. I was heartbroken to find out that her new sort of captivity comes with even more intruders hell bent on ruining the last shred of sanity Sunshine has left.I can't believe the places Beth took her characters. I was both shocked and thrilled that Sunshine was no push over. At first, she is lost, not knowing how to work her body and live this new life, but she finds her strength within her new prison. She also finds friendship with the most unlikely people.I was rooting for Sunshine the whole time, even when it seemed like all hope was lost. I was surprised how emotionally involved I got in the story. I was yelling at the pages as Sunshine's mom left her in that horrible place, and the intruders were so vicious, I had to put the book down to gain my composure again. I love books that make me feel so involved, so troubled and excited at the same time.This YA Paranormal story took me through a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved every minute of it. I was so happy with how everything turned out. The writing was well done and the pacing was good. This is the kind of book you can't put down for long. Highly Recommended.
