Love the feeling of the hair raising on your arm after a particularly creepy read? Then you need to dive in to the Sunshine Girl series from author and YouTube star Paige McKenzie. Coming on the heels of last year's The Haunting of Sunshine Girl, Paige's next novel—The Awakening of Sunshine Girl—will scare your socks right off.

When we last saw Sunshine Griffith, she'd discovered that she was a luiseach—meaning that though she seems human, she's actually a supernatural creature living on earth in order to protect people from dark spirits. Now, she's ready to embrace that part of herself and work on honing her powers.

Unfortunately, that means training with her mentor (who, it turns out, is her biodad) Aidan. But taking on the task in the depths of the Mexican jungle is harder than Sunshine expected—and scarier than anything she's seen. Even with maybe boyfriend Nolan on her side, plus new friend and fellow luiseach Lucio, Sunshine might be signed up for more than she's ready.

Can Sunshine handle her father's experiments, facing the terror from her dreams and figuring out what being a luiseach really means? Pick up your copy of The Awakening of Sunshine Girl, in stores now, to find out.
