Synopsis (Goodreads):
All his life, Reyes Alexander Farrow has suffered the torments of the damned. Only one thing has given him hope: the woman who radiates a light that no mortals can see; a light that only the departed can see...

Told from his point of view, BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN chronicles the first time Reyes ever encountered Charley, and how their relationship has been the one thing that can either save him or doom him.
Thoughts on Brighter Than the Sun: Oh, man. We all knew Reyes had a terrible childhood, but yikes! Abused, confused about the power he wields, constantly on the run with the man who controls him, and determined to keep his little sister safe no matter the cost to himself. Charley is the only thing that keeps him sane when things are at their worst and he thinks she's only a figment of his imagination.

I did like seeing into Reyes's head. I liked seeing how Charley soothed him without ever meaning to. I liked seeing how mindful Reyes was with his sister. But Earl? That dude is gross. He absolutely deserves ever horrible thing that happens to him now and in the future.

Reyes. The guy gets things done and he gets them done well. *thumbs up*
