Narrative Toward Books When Stars Die (The Stars Trilogy #1)
When Amelia finds out her younger brother is a witch, they must flee—or die. The city of Malva is rife with puritanical hatred for witches, who are said to embody the Seven Deadly Sins of mankind. Amelia’s only chance of saving Nathaniel, her brother, is to become a professed nun at Cathedral Reims, but doing so means enduring a series of trials: near-starvation, intense isolation, beatings, and blood-sucking leeches. Escalating these are shadowy beings only Amelia can see. After harming her best friend with fire, a witch’s signature, she worries they are after her because she is a witch like her brother, who reveals he, too, can see them.Oliver Cromwell, a dashing priest at Cathedral Reims, confirms her fears. He tells Amelia that these beings are Shadowmen: dead, unredeemed witches, seeking witches like Amelia to join their ranks. When this group of rebel Shadowmen begin planning to destroy those who slaughtered them, Oliver is the only one who can protect Amelia and save Malva. Yet, he may prove to be more dangerous than the shadows themselves—and his love for Amelia fatal.

I received a copy for an honest review. What I enjoyed about this book was its originality and creating a new world. It seemed to be set back a few hundred years, but it is a different world that has witches and instead of worshipping God or Jesus its Deus, a figure we never learn about except that he doesnt forgive. There were parts of the book that flowed nicely. I really enjoyed a couple of chapters, and details especially that Colette smells like clover. One of the most important andI received a free advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review, and I am very pleased that I did. When Stars Die was thoroughly enjoyable a thrilling, mysterious read with compelling characters and an anfractuous plot.From the very beginning, this book had a chilling, violent undercurrent that fuelled the sense of mystery and kept me constantly intrigued. I found that When Stars Die was very hard to put down. Whenever I convinced myself that, in the depths of the night, it was
From my blog ( http://mybookshelfisyours.over-blog.com/ ) Picture this: End of 19th century Europe, a world as religious as ever, full of sinners looking for redemption at any cost, but most of all scared by the idea of being surrounded by evil, impure and dangerous beings: witches. When Stars Die is the story of Amelia Gareth, an 18-year-old girl who wants more than anything to become a nun. In order to do that, she has to go through physically and psychologically challenging trials to be

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERSFirst lines:The sound is a dagger scraping crosshatches on a frosted windowpane, its echoes loud in this insensible room Ive been locked in for the past few days.Personal summary: (If I were to make a synopsis in the point of view of the main character)What would you do if, one day, you realize that everything youve been believing in was a lie? I thought my chosen path would save me. I thought it would be enough to repent for the sins that werent mine. But then, I
Readers learn to trust favorite authors with their time and their secrets. Amber always delivers and is worthy of our trust. This is just the book for a late Saturday night.
This was an interesting read, as it went in a completely opposite direction of where I expected it to go. I found that when I picked it up I couldn't put it down; however, once I put it down I had a hard time picking it back up. I believe it may have needed just one more read through with an editor to flush out a few details and clean up some of the paragraphs. I am thrilled that this will be a trilogy, as I feel many of the characters needed to go through a bit more character progression. I
What do you do when you are raised your whole life thinking that witches were born out of parents committing one of the Seven Deadly Sins? When Amelia suspects that her little brother might be a witch she takes her brother and runs away to the Cathedral Reims so that she can become a nun and hopefully through her atonement to their god "Deus" she can help heal her brother.
