My rating: 💋💋💋💋💋

All Lenore Warwick wants for her 21st birthday is to hang out with her friends, finish her second year at Berkeley with flying colors, and maybe catch the eye of a hot musician playing a show at a club that she can now (legally) get into.

Unfortunately, fate has other plans for her.

A week before her birthday, she’s kidnapped by the brooding and dangerous stranger with cold eyes and a lethal touch, who has been stalking her on San Francisco’s fog-shrouded streets. Absolon "Solon" Stavig isn’t your average criminal though. He’s a centuries-old vampire who’s caught between wanting to kill Lenore and wanting to save her.

You see Lenore, too, is a vampire.

She just doesn’t know it yet.

Taken by a pair of vampire slayers when she was just an infant, Lenore was raised never knowing her true nature. All Lenore knows is that she has (normal) parents who love her, that she’s exceptionally smart, and she’s squeamish around blood. But once she turns twenty-one, she’ll fully turn into a vampire, and Solon hopes he’ll be there to guide her, opening her eyes to her deepest hunger...both sexual and otherwise.

But this turning can’t be kept a secret. Soon both slayers and vampires are hunting Lenore, with only Solon and his unpredictable motley crew of vampires to save her.

If they don’t kill her first.

Black Sunshine is a dark adult standalone romance with a paranormal twist, about sex, love, secrets, and revenge, set in contemporary San Francisco.

Plot Summary :
Lenore is a normal girl leading a normal life. Or that is what she thinks. Her life takes a turn when she starts feeling as if she is being watched. And then she gets kidnapped. Kidnapped by the gorgeous man who no one else can see apparently. And he has some weird things to say about her true nature.

Solon is a centuries old vampire who is stuck between killing and saving Lenore. And now he has her. She thinks she is a normal girl but what she doesn't know is that she is something else entirely. Something that no one else knows. On her 21st birthday, she is going to turn to a full vampire and he will be there to guide her through that transition in both seductive and other ways. That is until another person comes to know of her existence. And now it's up to him to save her and maybe give her the life she has always deserved.

Overall Opinion :
Omg, there is nothing more addictive than This author's fantasy romances. I am a total fan of hers and there is no way I was missing this dark vampire romance standalone by her .

It was dark and gritty and I can't even tell you guys how much I loved Solon! He was the perfect anti hero and I practically highlighted every scene in which he made an appearance! The way he commanded everyone was just so hot 🥴👀🤣❤.

From the story line to the characters, everything was perfect about this book. I would definitely recommend this one to all the dark romance lovers out there. Also the ending of this book was a HEA one but still a lot of questions are unanswered so I really hope that we get more books about these characters or the side characters. I would take anything! I just want more from this series.
