The Awakening of Sunshine Girl

This is the sequel to the first book in the series The Haunting of Sunshine Girl. To recap; Sunshine and her mom move from Austin, Texas to Washington state because her mom is a hospital nurse who gets transferred. The house that they move into is haunted by a spirit and shortly after they move in her mom gets possessed by a demon. Nolan is her. He is perfect boyfriend material but she can’t touch him without feeling gross. They discover that Sunshine is a rare supernatural creature known as a Luiseach. They are supposed to protect mortals from evil ghosts, help spirits move on, and get rid of spirits who won't move on or can't.

       After she turned 16 is when all the Luiseach powers started. She had to pass a test to get her powers. She killed the demon that possessed her mom. Sunshine finally tells her mom about her gift. She finds out that her dad is her mentor. He takes her to Mexico to a Luiseach training facility that used to be run by her mom and dad. Her real mom blamed her birth for the decline of her people and wanted to kill her. Her dad saved her by dropping her off at the hospital, so he never abandoned her by choice. She meets another Luiseach boy Lucio. Lucio and her dad help her hone her skills. She is very special. She helps multiple spirits move on their own, can feel what the spirits feel, how they died, what were their interests, even if they had kids, and even has psychic abilities. Her mom and dad also experimented on her as a baby in the womb to make her more powerful. Her real mom captures Nolan and she goes and rescues him. She found out that the reason she gets gross around Nolan is because of some spell that her dad put on her so she couldn’t fall in love. But she falls in love with Nolan anyway. He feels the same way. They say I love you and finally get their special kiss.      

      This book was just as good as the first one!!! The ending just has me reeling towards the next book but I have to wait until next year.
