A gripping, all-encompassing romance that <b>utterly possessed me</b>, mind and body.
Wren James, author of THE LONELIEST GIRL IN THE UNIVERSE
A <b>highly original concept</b>, brilliantly executed.
Teri Terry, author of SLATED
Breathtaking. Powerful. Beautiful. I laughed. I cried. <b>Absolutely unforgettable</b>.
Kathryn Evans, author of BEAUTY SLEEP
<i>Silver </i>is extraordinary, and it touched me deeply. This is an original, note-perfect novel about the importance of connection. <b>I felt bereft when I finished</b>, and days later, I can still think of nothing else. Olivia Levez has achieved something beautiful with <i>Silver</i>; a lyrical, heart-breaking read that reminds us what it truly means to be human.
Jan Dunning, author of THE LAST THING YOU'LL HEAR
<b>A tender and aching romance</b>, and a haunting exploration of empathy and the all-important threads that keep us connected. A simply beautiful read.
Tia Fisher, author of CROSSING THE LINE
Humorous in parts, and <b>heartbreaking</b> in others, theirs is a story that I thoroughly enjoyed - one I didn't want to end and one that teenage readers will gobble up when it hits the shelves in the autumn. [...] She is a fabulous character, and her story is one that fans of YA novels - and in particularromance and/or sci-fi - will love.

<b>Poetic and thought-provoking</b>, Silver is more than a poignant love story. It's also about family, the messiness of human existence and the need to be understood.
