Okay, so let me just start this review by saying that this book was a bit odd. The writing felt a bit stilted, and author just dived straight into the story with very little world building, characterisation or anything! If this summary sounds a bit odd, I'm afraid that's how the story came across!
16-year-old Brianna is at a party with her best friend Haley. Everybody notices Haley, but nobody notices Brianna, their gaze just slides past her.
The catch on Brianna's bracelet breaks, and then she sees spots and a flash of silver, and suddenly Blake, a boy who has never spoken to her sees her and speaks to her.
Brianna hopes that maybe this will be the start of something good, but the next time Blake sees her he doesn't look at her again, although he does ask her friend for her phone number.
The next time they meet, they have a disastrous first date, but then Blake asks for something unexpected, he asks her to remove her bracelet. Once Brianna eventually gives in, he is able to look at her properly, and the next thing they know they're waking up naked next to each other! Seriously!
Blake drops her off at home, but she gets stomach ache, which seems to get worse the further she is from Blake, and the longer she is away from him.
The next time Brianna sees Blake he tells her a story/fairy tale about a goddess and a man, blah, blah, blah.... Basicallly Blake accuses her of being a seventh generation daughter, descended from this goddess, and tells her that her bracelet is a charm that hides her from view. He says that she is a `Bania', and that she has cast some sort of soul-binding magic on him, and joined them together. He is seriously hacked off over this, and tells her that she has to find a way to break the spell.
The other two men in this book are equally mean. One (Austin) kisses her and her best friend (Haley), and another (Jonas) has oral sex of her other friend (Christie), and then ignores her totally, to then attack Brianna at a later date.
Two girls from school who also claim to be Bania, then retell the fairy tale, only this time it ends with demigods hunting down and killing the descendants of the goddess. Oh, and of course the three boys that have been treating Brianna like dirt? They're the demi-god's descendants.
In summary - Brianna is totally clueless to the fact that she is some kind of goddess' descendent, and all the men in this book treat women like crap.
I found this book quite difficult to read. It just struck me as odd, the storyline, the way there wasn't any introduction to the characters, the way Brianna had no clue what was going on, or what she was, or anything at all really.
At 50% in I really wasn't sure that I could bring myself to finish this book, I actually had to turn it off and read something else then come back to it. Thankfully a little break meant that the second half of the book wasn't quite so bad, but it still wasn't good.
All the men in this book were total poo-heads. Not one of them was nice to Brianna except for Blake right at the end. Thinking about it, Brianna's friends weren't all that nice to her either, and both were a bit stupid. Haley was convinced that Brianna was trying to steal her boyfriend Austin, and wouldn't even listen to what Brianna had to say, and Christy thought that it was acceptable to give a boy oral sex, have him shout at her for his premature happy and a bit of gagging, and then want to go out with him again! I mean seriously! She really needs to think about what she is doing and get some self-respect.
The blurb for this book talks about Brianna `binding her soul to Blakes'. There was some kind of soul-binding going on in this book but it's seriously unlike soul-binding in other books. For a start the last thing you want your `soul-mate' to say is - `take this spell off me', or `I cannot get far enough away from you', or `you're ruining my life!', or `I wish I hadn't saved your life' (not direct quotes but you get the gist.) Blake was just horrible to Brianna and made out like she had purposely tried to trap him somehow, when it actually turned out that Blake should have known better, as he actually knew what he was and what could happen if he mated with a Bania.
Overall; this book was just odd. It just felt wrong and disjointed, and at several points I didn't even want to keep reading. The characters were whiney, and rude, and nasty, and the way that the men treated the women was awful too. I would also suggest that this book is not for younger teens due to the sexual content.

I really enjoyed this book and feel sad to be leaving this world behind for a while. I can't wait for the next book in this series.
Brianna doesn't stand out in a crowd. Well, that's an understatement, it's like she's not even there. Especially with guys, they can't even make eye contact with her. She's been introduced to her crush for the last two years, Blake, so many times and he still doesn't know she's alive. She thinks she must have some kind of problem with her pheromones.
Until the night she's at a party and her charm bracelet breaks. Blake looks at her, and sees her, really sees her, and her life will never be the same again.
Brianna thinks she's just an ordinary girl until she accidentally bonds her soul with Blakes, and he tells her about her heritage. His one sided version anyway, she learns more as time goes on. But her heritage means that she and Blake are mortal enemies, and one of them must kill the other to survive.
The characters were good, though I felt that some of them could have been fleshed out a little more. Especially her parents, who seem too naive as to what their daughter is. Brianna is a likable protag and I enjoyed her relationship and interactions with Blake. The friendship that she has with Haley and Christy felt very realistic to me, girls can be bitchy when it comes to guys. Having to keep her magic secret does cause some sticky situations for Brie with her friends. And Austin, an appealing, love to hate bad boy who made this story interesting.
This book is a fast paced, fairly quick read with the mystery of Brianna's heritage and powers being gradually revealed. I think fans of paranormal romance will definitely enjoy this one.

Silver by Talia Vance

The Sisters Say: Sizzling, Surreptitious, and Spellbinding
Originally on YA Sisterhood Blog
"My life is a series of cruel ironies. The pretty girl no one sees. The horse I have to sell. The kiss I can't keep." -ARC, Location 205-206
From the moment I read the blurb of Silver, I had been waiting (impatiently) to read it! Then Talia told me it was on Netgalley and I have to admit...I did my happy dance--the dance that makes my toddler laugh, that makes my dogs start jumping up and down, and that makes my husband roll his eyes and mumble something about books being more important than oxygen for me. And in that moment--I might have given up a few breaths to be one of the first to read this book!
The idea of Brianna binding her soul to her mortal enemy just mesmerized me, and I will say that Talia did not let me down! One of the best things about this book is there isn't chapter after chapter of set-up that you have to wade through to understand the world. The action starts in Chapter 1, and I have to say one of the best scenes of the book occurs in this chapter--the scene where Blake discovers who Brianna truly is. It's sinister, but in a sexy way, and you can just feel the magic in the way Talia describes the scene. I felt like time froze and I was swept into their world to watch as both of their destinies crossed. AND I love the duplicitous dialogue here. My fave you ask? Said by Blake: "'Where have you been hiding?' His smile is lethal." Ohhhh...goose bumps!
I always enjoy seeing different mythology in a book, too. I absolutely love when mythology interwoven into the plot, but usually, all we see is Greek mythology. Every once in a while you see Norse mythology, but I have never read a YA book that has Celtic mythology in it; and it was intriguing to see something new and different. You don't need to know much about the culture either because what you need to know is explained briefly without dragging down the action or dialogue.
One of the great things about this book is it keeps you guessing--which is something I really like. It may drive some people crazy that they are never able to tell who they can trust, but I think it adds to the suspense. I will say that I am still a little on edge because I don't know who to trust!!! I mean, they're mortal enemies; so who you can trust and who is good and who is bad is always going to be muddled in the shadows! I bet Talia is smiling mischievously knowing the torment she is putting us through...shame on you Talia! Keep it up!
The best character in this book is Jonah--a Son of Killian who has his death grip aiming for Brianna. He was such a jerk that I wanted to find someone that looks like him and give them a good old-fashioned you're-an-a** rant. I have a feelings we'll be seeing more of his jerkiness in the next book. Yay!
Brianna is your typical heroine who is struggling with the realization that she is something more than human. I liked her, although I will admit that I was not blown away by her. I wanted her to have more of a memorable personality--an aura that would strike you as someone with a great destiny awaiting. But, really, she just felt like a normal girl--which many people will like because they can relate to her. I, on the other hand, tend to like my heroines with a little more flare and a little more self-esteem (even if it only comes after gaining their powers). I'm hoping we will see her character develop into a don't-mess-with-me-unless-you-want- to-be-called-"Eyepatch"-for-the-rest-of-your-life type of heroine. But, that's just me--I tend to like the overbearing, kick your butt gals.
Now for Blake--the eye candy (or is it mind candy since it's a book?). He's the mortal enemy of Brianna, a Son of Killian who has pledged to do away with any daughter of Danu; yet, when their souls are bound together, it awakens something within him that makes him see Brianna as something other than a threat. I really liked Blake's passion, but at times it felt unrealistic. I mean, he's been trained his entire life to hate anyone like Brianna, yet his feelings for her change so quickly. I totally believe this is possible, but I wish we would have seen more scenes with him so we could see him struggle with his decision and then eventually fold. Plus--we would have gotten more scenes with him which I'm sure all the girls would love! Blake is mysterious and stealthy and protective of Brianna. He is definitely swoon-worthy. I'm hoping we will see A LOT more of him in Gold (the sequel)--and hopefully we can see a deeper, more personal side to him.
I enjoyed the romance in the novel, but I wish there was more! I definitely still wanted to trade places with Brianna at times, but I'd categorize the romance as a spark. I want to see a full out blaze! And the scene where their souls are bound--I wanted more! There was already one mature conversation in the book, so it would have been great for her to keep with the mature theme and given us a few more details!
What a debut for Talia Vance! Full of mystery and intrigue, betrayal and romance; Silver is a definite Must Read for lovers of paranormal romance!
Content Warning: I would rate this Mature YA for one scene near the beginning. I was kind of surprised by this scene because to me, the only reason it was there was to show how much of a jerk Jonah is, but I would have rather seen another way to show that he's jerk and kept that scene out so more teenagers could read it.
I'll leave you with one more of my favorite quotes from the book!

Too much focus on beauty and not enough on realistic characters.

From the start you're supposed to believe that the main character is madly in love with a boy who has never spoken to her, and who doesn't notice her until she loses her silver charm bracelet. It was a really frustrating novel because it had so many opportunities to move past the forced love story - and I never really got to know this boy who she loves. He annoyed me most of the book, was never really fleshed out, and I found myself liking the 'bad' guy until the end when he shows how bad he really is (but he was so much more interesting!!!).
It was just frustrating and I wanted to fall in love with the story and just couldn't.

Perfect balance between action and romance

Format:Paperback
I don't even know where to start with this book. I went into it a little apprehensively, because the blurb made it sound like Brie might be another one of those girls who goes on and on about how she's not pretty and then whoops there would be this insta-love thing and I would be left knocking my head against my desk.
That didn't happen.
First off, Brie is totally relatable. She's geeky, but not in the overpowering, stereotype way. She doesn't think she's pretty, she thinks she's invisible BUT she doesn't spend hours whining about it. She accepts it, she's chill about it and she let's that make her stronger. Especially after dealing with the character of America in The Selection, that was fantastic to read. Add in some snappy dialogue and I was hooked.
The book started off with a rocky beginning, and that was when I realized this book was going to go severely either way with me. The reason for the half star dock is that there were a few logical inconsistencies that made me flip back a few pages and say WHAT JUST HAPPENED HERE? or HOW DOES THAT WORK? and I got no explanation. For me, though, they were small (okay, one was not so small and that's the biggest reason for the docked 1/2 star but I can't tell you what it is without spoiling!) and I forgot them in the fast pace of the novel. I just enjoyed the ride.
And it is a fantastic ride. There are few books that make me actually laugh out loud, and this is one of them. I was not a fan of Blake at first, but then all the sudden Brie is being all stupidly into insta-love and Blake takes a step back and goes INSTA-LOVE? EW! We became good friends after that point.
The mythology-as you might have seen hinted at and that's probably the reason why you thought this book was cool-doesn't disappoint. Vance doesn't spend an inordinate amount of time explaining it either, which is nice. We know what we need to know as we need to know it. Then, of course, there is all the supernatural powers being flung around. In my book, that is always awesome. Despite not knowing anything about these Irish myths, I was instantly at home in the world and the legend, which isn't always easy to do.
A big thing with me is always a book's pacing, and there Silver didn't disappoint either. There was certainly time set about for "normal" life and romance, but there was plenty of action too-at almost the perfect intervals, actually. Nothing was squashed together or rushed, for the most part. The book kept moving and I was unable to find many places to stop and catch my breath. I know I'm into a book when I have to force myself to literally get up and take a breather for a second.
Overall, Silver is one of my new favorites of 2012. It makes me genuinely sad you guys can't share this with me until September 8. The characters were relatable and cute, the dialogue was snappy and the mythology was excellent. All the action and romance didn't help either. If you're in for a refreshing read with a great storyline, fast action and sexy romance, definitely give this one a try!
