Synopsis: Goodreads
TRUST NO ONE.
Twenty-year-old Wren Darlington is not your ordinary Mod. She’s one of the most powerful in existence.
But her world is divided. On the Continent, being a known Modified means certain death, as the Primes – those immune to the biotoxin that nearly wiped out the population 150 years ago – want nothing more than to eliminate those who were enhanced by the toxin and developed psychic powers.
LIE TO EVERYONE.
Wren has survived all these years by concealing her abilities and keeping a low profile while doing what she can to aid the rebel Uprising in fighting against the Primes’ oppressive rule. But one careless mistake places her in the crosshairs of the Continent’s military, and she is forced to join their most elite Silver Block. Unwittingly, her enemy has given her – and the Uprising – the perfect opportunity to strike a devastating blow from inside their ranks.
AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T FALL FOR YOUR GREATEST ENEMY.
That is, if she can keep her powers hidden, survive training, and prove herself to Cross Redden, her cocky, maddeningly attractive commanding officer.
Despite the explosive chemistry between them, Wren cannot let Cross get in the way of her mission. But as war rages between Mods like her and those who aim to destroy them, emotions run high and secrets are revealed, forcing Wren to decide how far she’s willing to go to protect herself . . . and how much of the Continent is worth saving.
Review:
You’ll probably remember better than I will, but in May 2025 when Silver Elite released, another book released at the same time and it was Shield of Sparrows. At the time people said that if you liked one you didn’t really like the other. And I fully expected to enjoy Silver Elite as it was the dystopian and I was in the mood for a dystopian… I didn’t expect to read Shield of Sparrows first. And when I did and loved it (6 star read!) I got so nervous that I wouldn’t like Silver Elite to the point where I kept putting it off!!
Thanks to my Digital TBR Takedown, Silver Elite became my MUST read book of October. I regret nothing. I really enjoyed this! I went in pretty damn blind so I didn’t even know who the romance would be between (I didn’t even know for sure if it was a romance, but if it was compared to SoS then surely it had to be romance!) to the point where I actually thought there were multiple possibilities!! I had a favourite of the options I thought there were though!
I had a great time with Silver Elite – because I liked Wren and her small group of ‘friends’. I had suspicions about the two sides of this whole political situation which meant that I really struggled to trust anyone ever, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing with this one. That being said, there were a number of twists and events that took place towards the end that I simply felt were rushed…
For me, because I loved Wren and the fact that the romance ended up being enjoyable, I still gave this book 4 stars and I will absolutely be reading Broken Dove when that comes out because you bet your ass I have questions that need answering after the sheer amount of twists/happenings at the end of Silver Elite (some may say – too many/much for how rushed it was). I have no idea if this is going to be a trilogy or a duology (or a bigger series) but I’m going to need the next book at least to explain some of Silver Elite to me!
“I think I might be a monster.”
