Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this advance copy.

I'm not 100% sure what drew me to this book but I'm pleased it did. I absolutely adored it. From the very beginning I just couldn't pur it down. The characters and storyline were simple but effective. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.

I would like to thank the publisher and NetGalley for allowing me to read and honestly review an advanced reader’s copy of this book.

Silver is a short, contemporary sci-fi story about an alien chosen by her people to come down to earth, to inhabit their bodies and to find a way for her dying people to take over the world.

And honestly, I wish it had worked better for me. I wish the story had felt a lot smoother, and not so stilted. I also have a problem with suffering from secondhand embarrassment easily, and this book had that in spades.

(Also putting Harry Potter reference in a book in 2024? Yikes.)

The characters were fine, the plot was fine if a tad predictable. Overall it’s just all ‘fine’.
If you read more contemporary than me, this could work for you. 2.5 stars.

I love SF and was immediately intrigued by the blurb and cover of Silver. I was also a little uncertain, as I'm not really a reader of romance. I’m so glad I took the chance! The concept of Silver and who she is was so original; her voice was pitch-perfect and believable. Her experiences as a newcomer in an unfamiliar world felt so real. Her growing relationships with the family she infiltrates felt completely natural, as did her growing feelings for Finch. The ending – maybe not what everyone will expect – was perfect for the characters and the story.
A highly original concept, brilliantly executed – a definite five stars from me.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters, especially Silver, were well written and it was well paced too, It was the first book I had read by Olivia Levez but I will definitely read her others now.

I cant believe its over. I cant believe there isnt more and it just; finished. This book had everything I didnt know I needed, the whole thing from start to finish was a cozy, cute, scifi, romance that i didnt want to put down. The writing style was completely new to me but after just one chapter it flowed so well I didnt wnt to stop reading it. It's also very rare that I like the main character and Silver is one of my favourite characters of all time, I miss her. The character developement for pretty much everyone was a journey I was happy to go on. The short chapters where really nice and going back and forth between past and present wasnt confusing at all. This is now one of my favourite books and as soon as its released Im buying a physical copy.
