#BookReview: When Stars Are Bright by @AmberR_Duell

Synopsis: WHEN STARS ARE BRIGHT is a historical Thumbelina retelling with a touch of magic.

For Lina Holt, a Dutch seventeen-year-old with a flair for singing, 1930 is going to be her year. Her long-time boyfriend is about to propose and her mother will finally realize their relationship isn’t a passing phase. But when a stranger snatches her from her backyard, everything changes.

Lina is thrust into the spotlight of a New York vaudeville show where she’s paired with Nik, a mysterious pianist. The two bond during rehearsals and it doesn’t take long before Nik puts himself at risk to confess a hidden truth. Without Lina, the show is in its last season and there’s no way she’ll be allowed to slip through the owner’s fingers. Not when she carries fairy magic in her blood—an gift that turns her song into a dangerously addictive drug.

If Lina ever wants to return home, she must learn who to trust before she’s forced to remain a prisoner on stage forever.

WHEN STARS ARE BRIGHT is a historical Thumbelina retelling with a touch of magic.

My Review: This was such an amazing story!! The ending will having you grabbing for the tissues and the story will have you reading until you are finished.  I am so happy that I was given the chance to read this amazing retelling of Thumbelina and I really hope we get another story set in this same world.  The cast of characters and the use of magic was wonderful.  My only issue with this one was the pacing. It was a little slower in places than I would have liked but other than that it was a stellar story that I will read again in the future.
