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 the Stars Come Out is a beautifully illustrated book full of fun facts relating to the night. The book explains why the night exists and how people have studied the nighttime sky throughout history. It details what some of the discoveries have been, including why the moon wanes and what the northern lights are. The book answers questions about the earth at night and about humans at night. Many different cultures are mentioned as the book goes over the history of sleep and celebrations of the night. The book explains that though nights are safer nowadays with all the light, the sky has become very polluted by it. We can no longer see the beautiful stars like those before us could. Whenever you are in a place where you can fully appreciate the night, the book urges us, don’t take it for granted. 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.

The plot was dark, really scary for brief moments and it did feel like it had horror elements. Nevertheless, I made it through and I would definitely like to see where the next book goes. 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.

i will say the narrative is a little odd at times. usually with first person POVs, the reader learns things at the same time the MC does. but with the world-building here, the MC is aware of certain things but the reader doesnt find out about it until later, meaning some elements of the plot are a little murky for only the reader until the reveal, which i found to be a bit of a weird choice as makes the beginning a little slow.

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! I liked how this book was not what I thought it would be! Whilst I don’t see it as a book that you’d read from cover to cover in one fell swoop with children, I do see it as an invaluable reference book and a resource that a teacher could use throughout the course of the year, for all sorts of subjects. By either group or individual reading, topic work, photocopying facts for science, maths or history, inspiration for art… almost limitless.

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. 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. 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.Shy is what I imagine the teenage Desmond Flynn would have been, change my mind!! That is by far the highest honor I can think to bestow on him and I love, Love, LOVED his chemistry with Anora. I just want to see so much more of them and their building, forbidden love!! Anora soon finds herself in a different world and finds the pieces of a puzzle as to what she is and who murdered or is plotting to murder who.
