Sunshine Series: Character Interview

Today I have Sophie and Myles from Nikki Rae's Sunshine series, now if you haven't heard or read Nikki's Sunshine series you really should.

Sunshine (Sunshine, #1)Sun Poisoned (Sunshine, #2)
 
I will hopefully get deep inside the minds of Sophie and Myles, so let's start the questions!


Sophie: You been through a lot in your life, how come you decided to keep all that inside rather than tell someone? Even Myles felt your pain and your suffering


I’d rather keep things to myself than have people know. I don’t want anyone pitying me. I don’t need that.


Myles: What made you decide to tell Sophie about yourself?

She also had things happen to her that she couldn’t control, so I felt like she would understand. Though she wouldn’t admit it at the time, she trusted me, and I didn’t want to keep such a large part of me hidden from her anymore.

Sophie: You seem most at peace with yourself when you’re playing the piano, what are you thinking when you play?

That’s the thing. I don’t think when I’m playing. All I need to do is make sure the sounds that come out of that instrument are the sounds I visualize in my head. Everything else melts away. Nothing else matters.

Sophie: You and your mom don’t have that mother-daughter relationship, but when you got hurt that dynamic changed . . . How’s your relationship now?

It’s pretty much the same. Well, now it’s the same, but she calls me and asks how I am and she also holds back saying what she would have said without thinking pre-accident. So I guess it’s slightly better.

Myles: How old are you really? Or are you touchy about your age?

I don’t really know. I know I’m somewhere around four hundred, but I don’t remember when my birthday was when I was alive. Even if I did, years go by a lot faster for me, so it’s hard to keep track. I’m not exactly touchy about my age, but I don’t like thinking about it because it makes me think about what I am.

Sophie: How’s your band adjusting to the New York lifestyle? Any new songs from you and the band?

The band is doing AWESOME. We’ve been fighting like crazy, trying to understand each other when writing out the music because Boo and Trei read sheet music and I don’t, but other than that it’s been a blast. We’ve covered a lot of songs as well as written some new ones we’re excited to share.

Myles: You “marked” Sophie without her knowing it, did you ever explained to Sophie about that?

I did. I had my reasons for it, and I was going to tell her, but a lot of things happened afterward and it didn’t seem right to bring it up. I will, though. Eventually.

Myles: You said in the end when Sophie was dealing with Michael’s blood that you will fix your relationship with Sophie, how will you do that? I know Sophie had reasons to be angry at you and she's is known to keeping things that hurt her deep inside

We’ve both kept things from each other. When you get two people together that are used to hiding everything about themselves, I guess that’s the risk you take. I want to tell her everything. Telling her everything may not fix our relationship—it may break it entirely—but she deserves to know the truth.

Sophie: What your thoughts about getting your relationship fixed?

It’s going to take a whole lot of super glue to fix this. I hope it can survive, but at this point, I just don’t know. I don’t like thinking about it.

Well there you have it! I like to thanks Sophie and Myles for stopping by and answering my questions. I do hope that Sophie and Myles will be able to fix their relationship and hopefully will be in a happy place of their relationship.

Sun Poisoned Review

Sun Poisoned (Sunshine #2) by Nikki Rae

Sun Poisoned (Sunshine, #2)Sophie’s life has changed. She’s moved to New York, she’s playing music for new people, and she’s making new friends. Then there’s Myles, and the fact that he is now her boyfriend—and everyone knows it. There are a lot of new things to take in, but Sophie has no problem adjusting.

She’s not exactly normal, living in a half-human, half-vampire world, but she’s finally, truly happy. But some parts of Sophie and Myles’ old life still hide in the dark, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.

Sophie’s having nightmares again, but they aren’t about her; Myles is hiding something that she’s not sure she wants to know.

And one lie will change everything.

No matter how hard she tries to cover up the marks her monsters have left behind, they never truly go away, and Myles’ monsters are no different.

Once again, Sophie’s caught between life and death, but this time, only she can save herself.

Again I have to thanks Nikki for lending out her books to me in return my honest review. Sun Poisoned is book #2 of the Sunshine series, Sophie and Myles are back!
 
Review
Sophie nnd Myles are back and living it large in New York, the band is doing great . . . Life is good. Myles still can't feel what Sophie feeling anymore but that doesn't prevent him from getting close to her and her being close to him.
What do you do if someone you trust have been lying to you and for Sophie a tragic event happens that leaves her almost defeneless and in danger.
Was the Michael threat over? Or is there a greater threat beyond Sophie and Myles control?

I give this 4.5 cat's tails up, I really like the intensity of the climax of the story and that ending was just WHEW! and AW MAN! I have to wait until the next book.
 
Ramble
Yes I know my review is slightly short, but it was the best way I could do without revealing spoilers in the review. My ramble is for the spoil aspect. So onwards I ramble on, first off I'm glad that Sophie took the leap to go to New York, after what happen to her that previously winter I wasn't sure if even
 
Myles or the band could convince her. But now in New York life couldn't be any more perfect, except Sophie stills has a hard time adjusting to herself with Myles.
 
Myles does what he can to make Sophie as comfortable as possible and taking things slow but the memories still haunts Sophie no matter what she does to not think about it. Myles give Sophie the control since all she's ever know was being under controlled.
 
Ava and Evan part of Myles's past and good friends, but when Ava's sudden collapse in Sophie's apartment Myles has to explain to her about Ava's situation. Michael's blood, yes Michael is back in the picture (sort of) his blood is infected to others both vampires and humans. And Myles leaves out an important detail from Sophie and then Sophie becomes mad until a family thing happen.
 
The family tragic: I really hates these tragic stories especially when you're so drawn to those character and boom the author cut him out of the story.
 
And Cue the ending! I was blown away and Michael wastes no time trying to end Sophie's life and what better way to do so by getting her bitten by vampires that are infected with his blood? The pain and suffering Sophie went through and Jade came into the realization that without Myles's help Sophie will not survive.
 
Now Nikki did leave it open-ending, so we're left wondering if what Myles did will help her and how will Sophie's life change now?
