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, 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.
From the brilliant mind of A Touch of
Darkness's bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a crossover
reimagining of Orpheus and Eurydice, in a darkly unique fantasy world.
My Review: I was hooked onto this world so quickly, I knew I was going to love it.
Anora wears her pappa's soul around her neck, well a coin that contains his soul. But that isn't the only coin she has, she has a whole box full. How she's able to see the dead and turn their souls into coins is still a big mystery to her.
But right now, Anora has to worry about her first day at a new school. Her mom took her to a new a town, school, everything. A fresh start and she needs to keep her secret to herself or she'll find herself going to a psych ward.
Well first day of school and Anora can see a spirit in front of the school. Staying away from spirits just went out the window.
Anora will quickly learn she isn't the only one who sees the dead, make some friend, enemies, love and so much more. The pace stays steady and surprises you always at the perfect moment. This is truly a do not miss out read.
