Publisher's Summary
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.

pretty cool concept
I liked the world building and the ideas! it was a fun concept and the characters had me intrigued!
I didn't realize this was YA, characters are 16 and it's not the same as some of the authors other books. which isn't a bad thing but it was also not what I was expecting.
I think sometimes when she writes she puts a lot of weight into the "like a/they" part of the sentence which carries a lot of the characters intent, rather then showing the characters behavior. for example "His eyes shone like they were filled with darkness, keeping secrets and showing me there was something going on in the cafeteria" - I mean not exactly like that but it got a bit much in the middle there.
And this might just be me but I was rooting for the wrong love interest 💁 sorry I like the bad ones.
I think the author didn't study science or astronomy at school which was fine but a few plot holes in the school curriculum that had me giggling and her blazer being smelly on the second day of school was kinda something weird to throw in there since I got mine dry-cleaned once a year but maybe it was a different kinda blazer?
Nothing that was as noticeable as like running down stairs being harder than going up them like some of our other favourite series...
Over all I thought this book was really fun and if you like a little mystery give it a go! it picks up really fast and the characters are likable.
