From award-winning and national bestselling author, Robin McKinley, comes this dark, sensual vampire fairy tale.
There hadn't been any trouble out at the lake in years. Sunshine just needed a spot where she could be alone with her thoughts for a minute. But then the vampires found her . . . Now, chained and imprisoned in a once-beautiful decaying mansion, alone but for the vampire, Constantine, shackled next to her, Sunshine realizes that she must call on her own hidden strength if she is to survive. But Constantine is not what she expected of a vampire, and soon Sunshine discovers that it is he who needs her, more than either of them know.

"I had no idea that blood and dessert could go together so well. I loved it!"
"Buffyesque baker Rae "Sunshine" Seddon meets Count Dracula's hunky Byronic cousin in Newbery-Award-winner McKinley's first adult-and-then-some romp through the darkling streets of a spooky post-Voodoo Wars world...Most of the charm of this long venture into magic maturation derives from McKinley's keen ear and sensitive atmospherics, deft characterizations and clever juxtapositions of reality and the supernatural...McKinley knows very wellâand makes her readers believeâthat 'the insides of our own minds are the scariest things there are.'"
"Smart, dark, and riveting. Sunshine is quite possibly the best vampire book published in my lifetime."
âA luminous, entrancing novel with an enthralling pair of characters at its heart.â
âA smart, funny tale of suspense and romance.â
