Silver Elite
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In the first book of a sizzling dystopian romance series, psychic gifts are a death sentence and there are rules to survival: Trust no one. Lie to everyone. And whatever you do, don’t fall for your greatest enemy.
“Dani Francis wrote the adult dystopian romance I’ve been wanting to read for the longest time. . . . I’m absolutely obsessed, and I need the next book in the series injected into my vein right now.”—Ali Hazelwood, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bride
This stunning hardcover features a jacket with foil and a black-and-white interior map!
TRUST NO ONE.
Wren Darlington has spent her whole life in hiding, honing her psychic abilities and aiding the rebel Uprising in small ways. On the Continent, being Modified means certain death—and Wren is one of the most powerful Mods in existence. When one careless mistake places her in the hands of the enemy and she’s forced to join their most elite training program, she’s finally handed the perfect opportunity to strike a devastating blow from inside their ranks.
LIE TO EVERYONE.
But training for Silver Block can be deadly, especially when you’re harboring dangerous secrets and living in close quarters with everyone who wants you dead.
AND WHATEVER YOU DO, DON’T FALL FOR YOUR GREATEST ENEMY.
As the stakes grow ever higher, Wren must prove herself to Silver Block. But that’s easier said than done when your commanding officer is the ruthless and infuriatingly irresistible Cross Redden, who doesn’t miss anything when it comes to her. And as war rages between Mods like her and those who aim to destroy them, Wren must decide just how far she’s willing to go to protect herself . . . and how much of the Continent is worth saving.

Just finished this and oh my god. The twists are twisty and the turns are turning. It's been a while since I've read a good dystopian novel. It's got me in a literal choke hold, and I need someone else to read it so I can rant about it. I need the sequel like yesterday!
“We’re two halves of a fractured whole, drawn together by forces beyond our control.”
Silver Elite was a thrilling ride from start to finish.
Wren Darlington is a powerhouse—clever, strong, and surprisingly sensible. Balancing her secret identity as a top-tier Mod while training in a deadly military program? No problem; she owns it like a queen with a gun.
Cross Redden, aka Mr. Broody Commander, is moody and incredibly attractive, embodying the phrase “touch her and die.”
Yes, it was a bit predictable, with "Wolf" being obvious early on, but I loved watching the story unfold anyway.
The word "keen" was overused—seriously, someone please intervene! At one point, I was keen to toss the book (lovingly) across the room.
Side characters like Kaine and Xavier added great banter and chaos, making the story more enjoyable.
Minimal world-building was fine since the game was set mostly in training camp chaos, and a handy map was included.
Final verdict? Predictable but addictive. Wren and Cross hooked me, and I’m eagerly awaiting book two.
“I wanted to show you that you can trust me. I wanted to show you… me. I wanted you to see what I am”
“You’re in my soul, wren. I take a breath and feel you in my chest. You’re inside of me, you have been since I was a kid, and the thought of losing you…”
“He said the girl of his dreams loved daisies. Said he’d loved her his entire life”
I have a couple of different ratings in my head for this one. If I just went off the book alone, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the hidden identity of it all, the pushing against the government, the finding a way to be different and going against the norm, and this had me feeling feels. There were a couple of times where some mysteries seemed predictable, but you can't catch them all.
If I was going off what the book was marketed as? It's a much lower rating. It's compared to the Hunger Games, but the only similar aspect were different districts. It's compared to Orwell, and while yes there is something very big-brother to the government, it seems so small. I would not consider this book to be very dystopian. It honestly read a lot closer to the romantasy books I've been reading than sci-fi/dystopian. People are comparing this book to Shield of Sparrows right now because those are the two big book releases at the moment, and they both read like fantasy.
I appreciated the relationships that were created throughout the book. And I will be reading the next one because of the ending. Again, I did enjoy the book, but the marketing really threw me off and that's a big reason it got a lower rating.

TikTok convinced me to read this one.. I hate writing “negative” reviews, but I wasn’t impressed by this one and was definitely expecting more
It was a good read, not a very in depth book, but it did keep my attention and I enjoyed the story line. it's a great book to read when you are in a reading slump.
