There are interesting facts about what the sky looks like from different hemispheres and what animals do in different regions. There is also facts about humans' sleep cycle and their night life, as well as holidays that are celebrated at night. There are many random facts found throughout this book. If I could give you anything in this life, it would be the happiness you feel when you look at the stars." 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. 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.

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. 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. 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! Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons! I was looking for a change of sceneAs it turns out, hiding her weirdness is just one of many challenges. By the end of her first day, she's claimed the soul of a dead girl and and lost the coin. Turns out, the coin gives others the ability to steal souls, and when a classmate turns up dead, there's no mistaking the murder weapon. 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. When I started this book, I immediately though of the movie “Sixth Sense”. The heroine sees dead people but as she puts it, Souls. She can interact with these Souls and even capture them. It is definitely not like that movie. There are many similarities to other novels I’ve read lately (secret non humans) but the storyline is still captivating. Third, I have seen better characterization. But Anora was described wonderfully The same goes with Shy and Lily and others. 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.

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.If you love dark romances, don’t let the YA tag scare you away because this series is going places!! Would I read it again? Yes I believe I would. Would I recommend this book? Yes I do. However like I always try to do and that is tell parents, Grandparents and Caregivers of young children if you're not sure you want your children reading this book then by all means read it yourself first then make your decision. I liked this book. First you have Anora, who could see ghosts but doesn't know what she is. Then you have Shy who was some creature that can turn from human to a raven. It's all a little strange, but I didn't love or hate either of the main characters.

Anora Silby is getting a fresh start. She had to leave her home in New York after a mysterious accident left people whispering and gossiping about her. The thing is, she can see the dead, which makes being a teenager all the harder. Now, at her new school she is going to keep her head down, not cause any trouble, and definitely not engage with any of the dead she can see. Shes partnered up with Shy, the schools popular boy, to be shown around the school and she can't help but feel that she knows him. Sweet on the outside, Shy is hiding a massive secret, one that includes a large majority of the town she just moved to. Keeping herself out of trouble may be harder than she expected... 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. 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. All in all, I really really enjoyed the story and the new world it had given me. So I believe it deserves a 4 stars.When Stars Come Out is a cross between the Fallen series and Gossip Girls, but with ghosts. Overall, I just didn't love the combination and there was a lot of loose ends with this one.

This was written in first person. It actually switches between Anora and Shy's POV, but you don't actually know that until like 7 chapters in, which I thought was strange. 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. 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. 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. True to its YA roots nothing in this book came as a surprise and most everything was either explained/revealed in an alternate POV or was just obvious to you as you were reading, but that did not detract from the story AT ALL and it was every bit as seamless and entertaining as any adult book on the market right now.

Missing lyrics by Chris Stapleton?

I was really intrigued by this book as it was about a girl that could see ghosts - I was expecting this to be the perfect October read, and it definitely started out interesting. I really liked the villain(s) of the story. Their characters were multi-faceted and we got a deep look into their wounds. It was easy to understand why they acted the way they did. I did begin to suspect them, so it was a little predictable, but that didn’t take away from my enjoyment.
