The Haunting of Sunshine Girl by Paige McKenzie Review
My most recent read was - The Haunting of Sunshine Girl* by Paige McKenzie. One word perfectly described this book: creepy. I would categorize Sunshine Girl as a YA/Paranormal novel. Now I love all things paranormal even though it causes me to lose sleep for weeks at a time. This book is worth the sleepless nights.
The Haunting of Sunshine Girl is based on a YouTube series. The book is around 300 pages and I read it over the course of a weekend. It centers around Sunshine and her recent move to Washington State. The transition is difficult, but made easier by her mother and a new found friend, Nolan. Throughout the book we learn that Sunshine's house is haunted and whatever is in there is after her mother. Sunshine learns a lot about herself and the paranormal and by the end of the book you are left wanting more!
What I really like about this book is the balance between creepy and light. This isn't a scare you straight type of paranormal read. Instead you are eased into the paranormal stuff. There's this weird "oh shit but it's all going to be OK" vibe about the book. The protagonist, Sunshine, is very relatable and so are the supporting characters. McKenzie has done a great job of making this a comfortable read, even if you get scared easily as I do.
The book is out to market already, so if you get a chance check it out!
Read on,
