What a great world building!
The story follows Abigail, a human different from any other. It is believed that no one should wish on the stars or something terrible will happen but it is just a tale, right?
When young Abigail wishes upon the stars, something unbelievable happens and things turn upside down.
It was a great read with much action and magic and unpredictable situations. Also, I liked how the author takes the recent problem of bullying and throws it in the imaginary world.
I recommend it for any reader and the only complain is: where is the second?

Full Review on my blog!
*a copy was provided by NetGalley*
Mhmm.. An interesting take on 'when you wish upon a star' and all the chaos that can happen. The beginning starts off kinda weird and slow... took me a while to get into...
The basic plot of this book is actually really interesting; great concept! It’s a love story—overwhelming love—and dark magic, family secrets, and of course teenage angst.
The Watcher of the Night Sky is definitely not your average YA/romance. I actually enjoyed it very much. I recommend it!

I don't think I have enough words to describe just how much I enjoyed this book. I choose to read it because the cover was gorgeous and the plot sounded different. Indeed a girl who wishes upon the stars and ends up with a bunch of men madly in love with her.
The plot was well written and kept you guessing as to what was going to happen. As this is only part one it left off on a massive cliff hanger. One that insures if you read the first part you will jump right into getting the second.
For fans of fantasy, romance, and quests.

Fantasy Version of "When in Rome" but with ACTION!
Gotta say, the last time I read a true fantasy book was Wizard of Oz and others in its series.
Then came this book. In all honesty, this book has rekindled a love of fantasy I forgot I had.
Not only is it a book about love (which, I'm a bit of a sucker for), but there's intrigue, action, adventure, and characters that I loved and loved to hate.
Rachel Pudsey, take a bow. You deserve a lot of praise for this book.
P.S. I've already started the 2nd book, and I'm loving it just as much!

First off I need to say that I have already bought the second book of this series on eBook so I could just continue reading on.
The Watcher of the Night Sky what can I say other than it is really a good story. I sat with the funniest smile on my face through the whole book. I loved the writing style of Rachel Pudsey, in this book. And I have to say as mad as I was at the ending it was a good ending. But of course, the minute I was done with this book I went to Amazon and got the second on eBook so I can start reading it as soon as I am done writing this review. I've NEVER in my life had a need so bad that at the end of a book I HAD to get the next one right there and then. At the end of this book, I actually threw my phone down.
Anyway, have you ever wished upon a star? Did you get what you asked for? Well, Abigail wished for and received her wish. Wishing for attention and love such an innocent wish, right? Until it comes to you in abundance, then you may have a problem. So we go forth with Abigail on a journey through the lands to fix her predicament. You will smile, laugh and get understandably upset throughout this story. But, it is a great story!!!
Now on to book two, lol.
I received this eBook through Netgalley for review.

What can I say about this? It had me at the front cover, it’s just so damn beautiful, and still had me at the end and wanting more! This book was constantly on the go and I loved it! You never knew what was going to happen next and towards the end I was on the edge of my seat, wishing the book wasn’t going to end. But unfortunately end it did (until Book 2 obviously).
Abigail comes across as your typical tomboy that likes girly things except for boys and romance! I was very surprised when she made her wish. But I suppose all girls wish for love at some point in their lives. I quite liked Abigail as I could relate to her more. I was pretty much the same as her growing up, but I didn’t like the girly things too much. But I was/am definitely a tomboy!
Out of all her “suitors” I think I definitely preferred Clay, Cillian I hated and may of muttered under breath at him and his chauvinistic ways, he really hit some nerves with me and pissed me off! The Princes, well… I just wanted to bang their heads together. The other 3 were just there and rounded off all the suitors quite nicely. I loved the way they all had very different personalities (granted I really wanted to hurt some of them) but it’s what has made the book pretty damn awesome.
I honestly felt for Abigail’s dad when he was trying to tell her something but kept getting interrupted or her mother kept getting in the way. He tried so hard bless him.
One thing that did have me guessing, what world were we in? I thought we were just in a small village here in the UK or somewhere, but I don’t think we were and would love this clarified.
I have given this book an honest 4/5 rating, I’m really looking forward to Book 2!

I was given this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
This was a pretty fast paced book to get through. It had a feel of the 1989 Teen Witch with Robyn Lively and the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings. I found myself chuckling at various scenes when the whole group was together because of just how ridiculous things kept turning out. One thing that did annoy me was the fact that this had a serious cliffhanger at the end. Personally, I can’t stand huge cliffhangers like that. I mean I understand a little bit of one to hint at the next book but this one felt like the book was purposely cut in half just to get two or three books out of it. I know it’s supposed to make you want to jump to the next book, but in cases like this, I just get annoyed. It was a good book and I’m glad I was able to read it, but cliffhangers can be very evil sometimes.
