On Dominy' s sixteenth birthday her life was forever changed when the curse that turns her into a werewolf took hold and she killed her best friend. Now in this amazing sequel to Moonglow - The Darkborn Legacy book 1, Dominy has to learn to harness her curse to help her defend those closest to her, not only from Luba, but some unsuspected alliances of hers as well.
As an ultimate evil is hovering, Dominy and her group of friends struggle to uncover who they can trust and who they can't , until they discover their opponent may have more influence in their lives than they ever expected.
I absolutely loved this book! I was very anxious to find out more about Dominy, her friends, and the butterfly and bee after the ending of Moonglow, but I never expected things to turn out quite like they did. Michael Griffo is one of those amazing authors that as soon as I know he has another book out, I just have to read it! Sunblind was no exception. It has action, suspense, and true friendship, all the makings of a great read. Even when I thought I had everything figured out something else would happen that made me realize that I had most of the puzzle but a few pieces were still left unseen. In summary Sunblind is a great followup to Moonglow and its fascinating fast-paced story will have you not wanting to put it down until you've read every word.

Sixteen year old Dominy is struggling to deal with the recent changes in her life. Her best friend Jess is dead as is Dominy's father. Now she has to deal with many new issues. One of those issues is someone is trying to kill her. She's not sure why but she intends to find out. With her friends and her boyfriend watching over her, Dominy sets out to get some answers. She never realizes the answers will affect everyone.
The character Gwen is adorably refreshing and naive. The references to old sayings and items from the eighties makes this fun to read. The characters are your typical teens and their problems are anything but. Your teen will find this book exciting and a terrific read.
I did find issues. The book was longer than it needed to be. Too many "epic" battles along the way. Also you'd need book one to know who the characters are and what the back story is.
I gave this one 3 cheers out of 5 because of the above issues. ~Copy of book provided by author in exchange for a fair review~

This book bored me.
Dominy turned into a wolf a few more times, she killed someone else, she couldn’t work out which was the evil twin (Nadine, Napolean, Nadine… Napolean. No, definitely Nadine… or Napolean. Will she ever figure it out?), and she continued to be pretty racist by calling Luba a ‘Psycho Squaw’. Her brother played with a gun and scared the sh*t out of her, Archie got a boyfriend, and I once again was nearly bored to death.
4.5 out of 10
