Silver is my girl. She owns the crazy. Bent, not broken, and she knows the difference.

This book had everything I could ask for in an Urban Fantasy (not typically my genre of choice). I know a lot of reviews have debated what genre this actually is but to me it seemed like classic Urban Fantasy – present day, part city, part rural, paranormal element, light on the naughty fun. You get the typical werewolf games and pack dynamic but there is also something really compelling about the ways in which the book differs from typical shifter conflict. The plot was relatively predictable but not stale.

Silver is a wolf we find sick and out of her mind, suffering from horrific silver poisoning and the aftermath of brutal torture. Andrew, the enforcer for the largest pack in the US, finds himself taking on the responsibility of finding out what happened to her and making sure it never happens to another were. Their journey takes them back to where it all began and the obstacles they face test them in ways no were should have to endure.

What really sold me on this book was the personification of Death as Silver’s constant companion as she attempts to find herself again. In her madness she feels completely comfortable with having conversations with Death in front of other people. Of course this makes everyone extremely uncomfortable … and that’s always fun ☺

I'll definitely be reading on. Not an all time fav, but I lost sleep - 'nough said.

Silver, Rhiannon Held’s debut novel, was an interesting read to say the least. While werewolves and the concept of silver being lethal to werewolves isn’t new, she did play with certain other aspects of the werewolves back story and lives that kept me reading. Held built up a new mythology for werewolves and played with bits of history in an interesting way. While Silver is primarily about trying to figure out what happened to this lone wolf, it also delves into pack politics and life, both the good and the bad.

The characters in the book were all very interesting. Especially Dare and Silver. Dare because of the type of person he is, the attitudes he has towards certain things, and the mystery surrounding his time in Spain. Silver because she obviously survived something horrible and she’s trying to understand all of these new things about herself. It was also really interesting having Death as an actual character. To be honest, I almost felt bad for him at times throughout the story.

The only thing about this book that I wish was different was to get more background on Dare’s history in Spain and the situation with his daughter and his wife’s family. We get some of the story in Silver, but it would awesome to get more about that, in my own opinion.

Overall, I have to say I really enjoyed Silver. There were so many different pieces that kept me wanting to read. I’ll definitely be looking out for more from Rhiannon Held.
I bought this book after seeing the author at a convention. I liked her and figured I would like her books. I was right! It was a short read and the story line was not complex. It had a young adult feel to it, but some of the words and phrases and content were definitely very adult. I just like to point that out because books don't really have ratings so you need to find that out in the reviews...not a kid book! ) I liked reading about pack dynamics and getting inside the heads of the two main characters. I like the way Silver grew stronger and started to find herself again. It wasn't mind blowingly awesome but I thought it was a fantastic first book and I am excited to read more!

Wow! This was an outstanding debut by Rhiannon Held. The tone and subject matter reminded me of Bitten by Kelley Armstrong in the best ways possible, but Silver was a completely unique story. I really enjoyed Ms. Held's take on werewolves and I am hoping for more from the two leads, Silver and Dare.

Andrew Dare is Roanoke's werewolf enforcer and he is on the trail of a stray smelling of silver. It's his job to find the stray and either escort him out of pack territory or to kill him. The stray turns out to be a rather disturbed woman. She calls herself Silver because of the poison injected into her veins and she has lost her wolf self. Dare has to decide if he should hide Silver, help her, or just kill her. He finds that he can't get the young woman out of his mind and finally decides that helping her is the only thing he can do.

I would consider this book more of a character study than an action-packed thriller. The driving plot is Dare trying to track down Silver's pack and the person that attacked her. While this was very interesting, the best parts of the story were Dare and Silver's growth as characters and their slowly developing relationship. I loved learning about their secrets, pains, losses, strengths, and loves. Dare seems like he is a very hard person, but we get to see a softer side come out when he is around Silver. Silver herself seems pretty crazy at the beginning but Dare seems to help ground her and allows her to hold on to more of her actual self.

At the beginning of the book, it seems like a one-way street. Silver needs Dare's help just to survive, but she is really just a complication in his life. As the book goes along, we learn that Dare has come to depend on Silver to figure out who is he as well. The gradually developing relationship was sweet and it gave each of them a strength to act in ways they couldn't on their own. They were damaged people, but their relationship helps heal them and makes them stand on their own two feet, even in situations where they might have faltered before.

I really loved this book. I did not want to put it down, reading it in only two sittings. I'm glad to see that this will be a series from Ms. Held and the next book, Tarnished, will be out May 2013. I loved Silver and Dare but I also appreciated Ms. Held's stark writing style and her way with emotions. I will be eagerly awaiting anything she puts out next!
