Sunshine in Darkness
by Beth WinokurGoodreads

BLURB:
A demon-like creature has possessed Sunshine’s body since the day she was born. Now, seventeen years later, she is done watching from the outside while the Intruder wrecks her life. When the opportunity arises to reclaim her body, she takes it.
Finally back in her body, Sunshine is arrested and, with her mother’s approval, sent to a mental institution where Intruders abound. Sunshine must learn who she is, take charge of her life, fight the Intruders, and look sane while doing it.
REVIEW:
This intriguing story by Beth Winokur, is a very different paranormal tale. Sunshine After Darkness, tells how the soul of Sunshine, has been trapped outside of her body since birth, when a dark 'intruder' inhabits the body, meant to be hers, and blocks her entry.
When the body named Rose turns 17, the 'intruder' causes mayhem and mischief, instigating her mother to commit her to a psychiatric ward.
The 'intruder' leaves Rose's body to Sunshine, who then needs to learn how to operate it, as she is left to suffer the indignation and degradation of being locked away!
Sunshine slowly discovers the secrets of the 'intruders' and learns how to survive within the psychiatric facility. She finds she is not alone in her predicament and that there are many more souls in the same situation she had been in, trapped outside of their bodies, watching 'intruders' living the lives meant to be theirs.
Finding friendship and support after being brutally treated inside the facility, she concludes she is not as vulnerable as she first believed and discovers the courage she needs, to take on the intruders and the controlling bodies of the facility.
Sunshine in the Darkness is a unusual story and quite different, touching quite a dark subject. Beth Winokur has put together a very unique read, which I am sure her readers will find intriguing and quite thought provoking.

Whoa-- that is one creepy cover! I'm afraid I'd have nightmares. :)
That is a really original idea. Those are so rare these days.
The cover to Sunshine in Darkness is creepy! Sounds interesting though. Both books do.
Wow, that is a pretty dark theme, but I can see there would be lots of room for characters to grow and change. Take control of their power of and do what they feel is right.
Second books sounds pretty interesting too.
Have a free copy of Sunshine that I plan to read. Soul Avenged has a great blurb. Good choices today.
Soul Avenged reminds me a lot of a movie.
It seems that we have protagonists who are up against a lot of tough stuff in both stories. Thanks for sharing!
I am enjoying A to Z! So glad I'm doing it on a group blog though. I give MAJOR kudos to you!
Sunshine in Darkness sounds very intriguing and unusual. Great review! I also really like the description and cover for Soul Avenged.
I remember seeing the cover for Sunshine in the Darkness before, and it is a spooky one, but sounds interesting. Funny thing about Soul Avenged, I have a character in my wip whose name is Ayden, but it's a male character. Hummm, has me rethinking his name now. :D
It is a dark, haunting story that sounds well presented, and the cover is thought provoking. Writer’s Mark
