What starts as an interesting choice for a young adult draft certainly lives up to its promises with a dramatic tone, efficient word choice, and compelling characters. I thought the introduction to this story is a rather dramatic one, which underscores and supports the narrative. Sunshine is Forever is a great read.

      The topic of depression can be bitter pill. Taken too seriously and you can bum out your readers, making them wonder why they’re reading your work in the first place. But Sunshine is Forever does a good job of balancing a depressed teenager’s viewpoint with a mix of satire and comic relief. I’m always drawn to works that have something to say, and I’m dying to know the mystery behind Hunter’s illness and how he grows as a character. I love the premise and potential of Sunshine is Forever. Fun Fact: You should support this book!

          Teenagers go through a lot of s... storm and stress. A thousand stories about teenage depression have already been told, but I guarantee you haven't read one as expertly crafted as "Sunshine is Forever" in a long time. Author Kyle T. Cowan gives his character, Hunter, a truly believable life and an authentic (and prematurely world-weary) voice that expresses it. The first chapter alone will not only leave you wondering what happened to Hunter that made him this way, it will make you sincerely worry over what will happen to him next. ...pretty much exactly like watching a teenager grow up.

              Thomas J. Arnold liked an update for Tantalus Depths

              Time for this week’s spotlight update!
              This week I’d like to direct your attention to Proxy, by Rebekka S. Leber:
               

              Proxy serves up a complex, thoroughly fleshed-out urban fantasy world with a tone that manages to be both whimsically magical and irreverently sardonic. We’re given a deliciously flawed protagonist, whose superhuman destiny is offset by her extremely human weaknesses. Max Lucas promises to be a new icon in the tradition of hard-bitten reluctant heroines.

              If you liked Jessica Jones (and if you didn’t, you must not have seen it yet), Proxy is right down your alley. I can’t wait to see how this train wreck of an antihero chooses to use her powers when she becomes the last hope of a world that’s done nothing for her.

                Character update:
                Finally, we meet the last member of The Diamelen’s crew. I give you the skilled, yet troubled pilot: our protagonist, Mary Ketch.
                 

                Mary’s come a long way from home in an attempt to distance herself from the pains of her recent past. She’s lost much, and on the distant frontier world of Tantalus 13...she will find much. Is she ready for what awaits her there? Will she find the assurances she seeks? Can she overcome the dangers, not only those offered by SCARAB and Tantalus 13, but those that come from within?
                Find out when you pre-order Tantalus Depths today!
