Black Sunshine
She was promised heaven, only to end up in hell…
Sade Babatunde wants to finish her education and marry her childhood sweetheart Achike, but her parents receive an offer to send her to Europe. An offer that seems too good to be true.
Sent from her hometown in Nigeria, Sade arrives in Italy to find that her new life abroad is a living nightmare from which there is no escape.
It will be a fight against all the odds if Sade wants to survive this new life, and a battle of strength and determination if she wants to see home, and Achike, again.
But it is not only the traffickers and those who work for them who pose a threat to her, for another danger lurks in the shadows, preying on the girls working the streets of Naples, knowing that nobody will investigate the disappearances of these voiceless young women…
A story of human trafficking, as a young Nigerian girl fights for her life and her freedom after being tricked into travelling to Europe on the pretence of attending beauty school only to discover that her keepers have a far darker purpose for bringing her there.

This was a gripping and emotional book. The characters were very realistic and the story alternatively had me in tears and smiling. It was harrowing in parts but managed to have uplifting moments too. Although it is a heavy, emotional read it is also fast-paced and gritty. The two main characters and their love story is my favourite part. Their characters and romance is well written and beautiful and that is what kept me reading to find out what ultimately happens to them.
