In Sunshine's world, vampires, weres, and demons are a fact of life, even for a baker. But when Sunshine heads out to the lake by her home, she doesn't expect what happens. She doesn't expect to be captured by vampires, taken to an old house by the lake, and chained in a ballroom with one. When she helps him escape with her she does two things that have never before been done: protect a vampire from sunlight, and escape from them. Sunshine's life may not ever be the same, but she will still show up every morning at four thirty to make cinnamon rolls, muffins, Bitter Chocolate Death, and Sunshine's Killer Zebras. Unless of course she is being held prisoner by vampires, in the custody of the S.O.F. after staking a vampire with a table knife (supposedly not possible), or facing down the evil leader of the gang of vampires that took her prisoner. I love Sunshine, with her crazy life, facination with Others, hundred and one recipes, and her matter-of-fact attitude about everything that happens to her. Her world is completely believable and awesome. Vampire fans- get it, read it, love it. Robin Mckinley is one of my absolute favorite authors.
