    About this audiobook

    From the brilliant mind of A Touch of Darkness's bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a YA crossover in a darkly unique fantasy world.



    Anora Silby 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.



    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 on campus and lost the coin. Turns out, the coin gives others the ability to steal souls, and when a classmate ends up dead, there's no mistaking the murder weapon.



    Navigating the loss of her Poppa, the mistrust of her mother, the attention of gorgeous and enigmatic Shy, and Roundtable, an anonymous student gossip app threatening to expose her, are hard enough. Now she must find the person who stole her coin before more lives are lost, but that means making herself a target for the Order, an organization that governs the dead on Earth—and they want Anora and her powers for themselves.

    Editor's Note

    Reimagining of Greek myths…

    This YA reimagining of the Greek myths surrounding Orpheus and Eurydice follows young Anora Silby, who can see the dead. Anora desperately wants to keep her powers a secret from her new classmates, but then she’s implicated in a murder. Anora must find the truth while avoiding the attention of a dangerous organization called The Order, not to mention a gossip app wreaking havoc at her school. “When the Stars Come Out” is a darkly mysterious tale of destiny and bravery.

      Spice is 3/5 as it's YA. I thought I wasn't going to like it. Captivating story.
      Can't wait for the next one

      I loved this book so much more than I was expecting.
      Adore these characters. Hope we get a sequel! I need more of Shy and Anora <3
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed the concept and the book was creepier than I thought, which was a pleasant surprise. The ending just seemed a bit too anticlimactic for me. Overall I just wanted more and I hope there is a sequel!
    • 5/5
      A beautiful YA paranormal romance.

      This book gave me so much ya paranormal nostalgia - a bit of romance, a bit of fantasy, a bit of mystery and subtle romance, great characters to the vibe and so much more!

      Think back to Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, Fallen by Lauren Kate and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare with the Scarlet St Claire touch (pun intended). I devoured this book and loved every second of it.
    • 5/5
      I was so hyped for this....then seen it was YA and was a little like ehhh I gotta be in the mood for it I'll get to it when I get to it.

      But after reading a touch of malice I was a hair annoyed with Scarlett because she knows how to get me hooked in an interesting plot but it was so over shadowed by the smut so getting to read just the mystery of these characters and not have to worry about the book being 87% smut was such a treat.

      Now to the book.

      I was hooked from the first chapter.

      The main character ,Anora. Is arriving at her new school. Why is she at the new school? Because she told her mom she can see dead people and it was move or crazy house, and as soon as she shows up what does she see? But the ghost of a girl swaying from the roof with a rope around her throat. Anora wants to fit in tho and must not let people realize she sees things that aren't there and hope they don't learn about her past.

      Shy, is anything but, he's the star quarter back and all around Edward Cullen of his school, but he's not just any boy. He's a Raven. Trained to protect humans but never take one as a lover which he's content to do until Anora shows up and immediately he feels this tread tethering them together and doesn't know what it means but knows he just has to be near her to keep the ache of her being away at bay.

      *Stares suspiciously at the mother*

      Lennon says she didn't get the ability to see ghost. (Not sure if lie or not) but that would imply that Anora Could be a "half breed" and her mother didn't know if she would have the sight or not. BUT as soon as she mentions it she is moved to the school that a few of the students are the very people sworn to protect her??

      And why is she always locked up on her room??
      What she doing??

      I feel like she's trying to bring someone back as well...or definitely something shady...............
