Description

Anora can see ghosts, but when she moves to a new school to get away from her past, she learns that she isn't the only one who can see them. I thought the plot of the book was good. It definitely reminded me of some other books I've read, but I still didn't think the plot was bad. Besides these two dancing the will they or won't they kiss tango, we have lots of paranormal things to figure out. Who exactly wants Anora and why? The not knowing sort of drove me insane because I couldn't think of who was going to betray her. At least that's how I felt until certain things were pointing to certain people. When I first met Shy (that full name...), I was a little leery of his interest. The Eurydice element to the story saved my investment, I liked how that part was rolled out and how they connected but I did want to see more depth with these two though. The whole organisation that Shy and others belonged to was suspect and Roth could be friend or foe; I suspect foe. Nope, there's a mysterious boy that seems to make her smile. As well as other sketchy stuff too. Whether it's people who are acting suspicious, or the ghosts, she's not exactly sure who she should or shouldn't trust. If only the strangeness would end there.

Description of This book is about a girl named Anora Silby who can see the dead and turn spirits into gold coins, two things she would prefer to keep secret as she tries to lead a normal life at her new school. After all she didn't change her identity for nothing. The Relationship: I just did not understand the relationship between Shy and Anora. It was forbidden, but they were lovers in past lives, so that's why they decided to get together? Did they get together? I'm not even sure. It was too confusing and still doesn't make sense. Another thing I appreciated were the mental health aspects portrayed between Anora and her mom. Home/family life wasn’t easy, and she struggled with her mom. The biggest challenge was that her mom didn’t believe and trust what Anora claimed she could do. She even threatened to take Anora to a mental hospital to get help. But her mom was clearly suffering from mental health issues, and they both loved each other, so seeing them navigate these challenges offered a unique perspective.

As someone who has a love hate relationship with the night, this book really opened my eyes to some of the wonders that happen at night that we often just don’t think about. This book takes us through the night, from the sky to the animals, to our own sleeping habits. As a result, we end up with this beautifully illustrated, and interestingly written book. Edwards takes us on this journey through night-time with an informal style of writing, woven with facts from science, right through to geography and differing cultures. Even I learnt some new things as I read through it. Did you know that there was such a thing as ‘moonbows’? because I definitely didn’t but now I really want to see one! Anora sees Souls and her mother thinks she is crazy. This all started when her grandfather died and she saw his soul escape. Her mother moves them from NYC to Oklahoma and changes her daughter’s name. If Anora doesn’t stop with her strange behavior, her mother will have her committed. Little does her mother know but they have moved to a place Anora should not be living. This book was honestly the most pleasant surprise!! YA to its core it gave me the nostalgic vibes of being something I’ve read and loved before with a story that was wholly it’s own. Anora Silby can see the dead. But she’s got an even deeper secret. She can turn spirits into coins. And when one of her coins goes missing, people begin to die.

Second, the flow of the story was fast but not too fast that I felt some parts were skipped. No, the story had a really smooth flow from beginning to end. Props to the author.The plot wasn't too complicated and the romance took a bit of time to develop, which was nice. I had fun following Anora and learning about the Eurydice and Valryn. I did think we should have gotten more information about the gates and guiding spirits, but maybe that comes in the sequel. I always like trying new authors and genres because how else do yo you find a new favorite author. I judge each book after I have read once. Sometimes if I read the same book twice I get a different perspective and higher my rating. If you love dark romances, don’t let the YA tag scare you away because this series is going places!! When Stars Come Out was actually pretty fun to read. At first, things were moving a bit slowly but that's because our main girl was getting used to the new town, school, and people. Now Anora, the main girl, was pretty interesting and good see ghosts. Which doesn't seem like the easiest thing to live with, and she definitely proves that over and over again. Unfortunately, ghosts are the only thing she should be worried about. Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons! I was looking for a change of scene
