Oh my gosh this book was PHENOMENAL! I was completely hooked by the very beginning, and I loved every minute of it! All the tension and angst, the world building, the plot… it was all fantastic!

This book surprised me, I went into it without reading the summary and was pleasantly surprised. A really great dystopian story that is engaging, intriguing, and some spice. Absolutely recommend for those who love dystopian reads. Cannot wait for book 2.

One of the best dystopian fantasies I have read in a long time, this comes in at the level of Shatter Me and considering that is my favorite series that is saying a lot! I loved every moment of this riveting story. The world building was genuine, it flowed and was done so very well. I love intricate world building and that’s what this story delivers.

Modified vs Primes…probably one of my favorites. I love a fantasy with an aspect of physic ability and this is jam packed with it. Do I find the Commands treatment of the Mods a bit hypocritical? Yeah, but that’s what happens with tyrannical governments they use the “enemy” as long as they benefit them. And if they don’t? Exterminate.

Is it really so black and white? That’s what Wren is going to find out and with some of the most unlikely of allies.

Silver Elite by Dani Francis is an absolutely captivating read, blending thrilling action with rich, immersive storytelling. I couldn't put it down and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure! Thanks Net Galley!!!

I found your new favorite book!! And it will be out tomorrow!

Think Divergent - but for adults, mixed with Fourth Wing War college vibes!

"Silver Elite" by @authordanifrancis had me hooked from the very first page! Wren Darlington is living in hiding, concealing her rare psychic abilities while secretly working for the rebellion. When she's captured by the military and thrown into their elite ranks, she's suddenly way too close to the enemy-including Cross Redden, her commanding officer. Their chemistry is so good! but with war escalating, trust is dangerous.

I devoured this book! The writing pulled me in, the pacing was nonstop, and the way the plot constantly had me questioning everything was just insane. Wren is one of the smartest and most intense heroines l've read in a while, and Cross? Just trust me - you will love him!

I need the next book ASAP

If you love dystopian fantasy with high stakes, insane plot twists, and a romance that slowly ruins you, this is one you can't miss!

Thank you Dani Francis Del Rey and Hambright for this ARC!

TRUST NO ONE.

On the Continent, being Modified means certain death—and Wren is one of the most powerful Mods in existence.

LIE TO EVERYONE.

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.

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.

Silver Elite, the first book in Dani Francis’ debut dystopian series, has been compared to Katniss Everdeen. However, this comparison is far from accurate, it is its unique story and appeal that keeps the reader engaged from the very beginning.

The writing style is exceptional, drawing the reader into the story with a sense of immersion. The characters, particularly Wren and Cross, are well-developed and captivating, and their journey throughout the book is both intriguing and emotionally resonant.

While I have many thoughts and feelings about Silver Elite, I’ll refrain from revealing too many spoilers. However, I can confidently say that I was anticipating this book and had high expectations for it, and they were all met. As of now, Silver Elite is a top read for me this year, and I eagerly anticipate the next installment in the series.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this so much! The dystopian romance sucked me in and held onto me like no other book. I can see the comparison between Silver Elite and Fourth Wing. Dare I say I loved this just a bit more? The action, the romance, the details into the world building? Impeccable.

Such great world and character building, you don’t get lost or bored!

This book is going to bring back the dystopian love. I did not know that I needed more dystopian romance but Silver Elite changed that! Gave me the vibes of the YA dystopian books I loved, while also being completely its own. The writing was well paced and made for a book I did not want to put down. My buddy read group will attest to how bingeable it is. We get political intrigue, an uprising, found family, betrayals, and a sizzling romance. And yes, the romance is a driving force in the story and so good! Lines are blurred on who are the good guys, who are the villains, and what lengths you go to in war. I highly recommend you grab a copy when it comes out tomorrow. I can’t wait to see where Dani takes us in the next book!

Thank you to DelRey for my arc. All opinions are my own.

THIS BOOK!!! Incredible! Amazing! Loved it soooooo much!! I knew from chapter one that this was going to be five stars and it absolutely blew me away! It’s like Divergent and Fourth Wing (no dragons) with a dash of Hunger Games mixed into one incredible debut! This book is non-stop heart pounding action and the most delicious, curl my feet while squealing romance! The tension!!! Just throw a bucket of water on me!

Wren must keep her abilities as a mod hidden or else risk death. When she is unwillingly thrown into the training program for Silver Block, the stakes get even higher as she navigates keeping her identity hidden while also resisting the pull of the irresistible commanding officer. The action, the twists, the complexity and depth of these characters will keep you glued to the page! Trust me when I say you will not want to put this one down once you start! And that ending! Ahhhhh!! The wait is going to be torture!

If you love dystopian romance with high-stakes, a sassy FMC with the skills to back it up, a ruthless but soft-for-her MMC, and sizzling tension, do NOT sleep on this book! I honestly want to already start a reread. It was that good!!!!

Thank you so much to the publisher for the eARC. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Mark my words this is the next big hit sensation since The Fourth Wing!! If you love dystopian worlds, be prepared to get sucked into this one. Oh my goodness, can’t wait for what’s next!!

Wow what a page turner! I couldn't put this book down. Idk about you but if a book keeps me entertained the whole time it's an automatic 5 stars for me. It felt like I was watching a movie, the world building was easy to follow.

"𝒴𝑜𝓊𝓇𝓈 𝒾𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑜𝓃𝓁𝓎 𝓁𝒾𝒻𝑒 𝓉𝒽𝒶𝓉 𝓂𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈. 𝐼 𝓌𝒾𝓁𝓁 𝓇𝒾𝓅 𝒶𝓃𝓎𝑜𝓃𝑒'𝓈 𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝒶𝓉 𝑜𝓊𝓉, 𝒷𝓊𝓇𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝑒𝓃𝓉𝒾𝓇𝑒 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓌𝑜𝓇𝓁𝒹 𝒹𝑜𝓌𝓃, 𝒾𝒻 𝒾𝓉 𝓂𝑒𝒶𝓃𝓈 𝓀𝑒𝑒𝓅𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝓈𝒶𝒻𝑒."

This is the first book in a dystopian trilogy where Wren Darlington, a secretly powerful psychic Mod, must infiltrate an elite military unit while hiding her identity to help overthrow an oppressive government . As tensions between the Mods and Primes intensify, Wren battles inner conflict, growing attraction to her commanding officer, and the high stakes of rebellion-all while risking everything to bring justice from within enemy lines. There were so many "friendships" formed, betrayals and political aspects.

Wren is so much more than a psychic, she has many powers. She is such a strong FMC, I loved how she was so head strong even though Cross, our MMC and her had such powerful chemistry. The end left me with so many questions and I cannot wait to see where this trilogy is heading.

Thank you so much to the author, Delrey books & netgalley for this eARC. So excited for the next book!

I’m so conflicted about how to rate this book. I found the world and the setting so cool!!! It started with a bang. it was so action packed that i didnt want to put this book down. the telepathy/mind reading powers was really interesting. The program to become part of silver block reminded me of divergent which was really fun!

My biggest issue is the romance. I found it seriously lacking which is so furtstraring because the couple had so much potential!!! the forbiddenness of it all was really appealing. There was definitly attraction between them but beyond that, I didn’t really believe in their love to be honest . The mmc’s replies made me physically cringe at times. I wish their interactions were a lot more romantic. Their relationship was so focused on the physical for so long that it got hard for me to believe in their love when it started to be more emotional.

I’m also conflicted about Wren. I loved that she was a strong character and she was so witty, her clap backs were too good. However, she made some POOR decisions that pissed me off!!! She frequently had thoughts about how the main character was attractive when he’s supposed to be her enemy and these thoughts were there from the start. I wanted to shake her to get a grip😩

That being said, I will 100% continue this trilogy because I’m so invested plot wise!!

OMG!! I loved this book so much! When I was reading I was fully immersed in the story and not getting distracted. It kept me so hooked and I just kept reading because I needed to know what would happen next. I need the next book like air it’s not even funny😭 I’m absolutely obsessed with Wren and Cross!! Their banter and dislike for each other had me giggling and hair twirling🤭 Cross Cross Cross the man that you are and the mouth on him tehe!! Besties do yourself a favor and read this book!!💗

I have had to come to terms in the last year with the fact that fantasy (or in this case, dystopian) that has a heavy romantic plotline isn't completely for me. I think this is a great addition to dystopian/fantasy shelves overall though, and will be perfect for a lot of readers!

This is going to be the THE book of the summer. I devoured this book, couldn’t get enough of the characters! This gives Fourth Wing and Hunger Game vibes and it’s 100% worth the read!

Holy forking shirtballs this book is amazing. This will be living rent free in my brain for the rest of time. I loved every single second of it. It is full of action, romance, secrets, lies, twists, and turns.

Wren has become one of all time favorite FMCs. I love her sass and her bravery. She is so witty and didn’t take crap from anyone, no matter what their rank was. Did her impulsiveness and recklessness get her into trouble at times? Yes, and I love her for it.

Commander Cross. What a man. Love me an alpha hero who will send someone away just for touching his girl and will burn the world down to protect her. I looooove their banter and the slow burn of the relationship.

So like I need book 2 right now! That ending had me gasping and I need to be back into this world. Thank you to Hambright PR & Del Ray for an e-arc. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ideal for readers who crave a tense, darkly romantic dystopian saga where forbidden love and high-stakes rebellion collide amidst a divided world teetering on chaos.

Did you love The Hunger Games as a teen? Are you ready to dive into dystopian fiction again, but with smut? Then please enjoy this.

Thank you to NetGalley and Random House/Del Ray for the ARC!

Ahhh I LOVED this book!! I've been struggling with fantasy lately, but I think the urban dystopian vibes were perfect in this and it felt both nostalgic and fresh to me. The worldbuilding, the plot, the romance, the characters - I loved was here for all of it.

First off, the whole concept of modified people and the different abilities at their disposal was so interesting to me. I loved seeing our fmc, Wren, in action and everything that she could do. She was such a badass and I was in awe of how powerful she was. I think my favorite part was that it wasn't by chance. I mean, the abilities she possessed was by chance, but she trained from such a young age and worked hard as hell to be as strong and masterful in her abilities.

The political climate of their world was rough, and I couldn't help but notice certain parallels into our current reality in the way that modified people or anyone seen as "other" were treated. It was despicable.

The romance was one of my favorite parts!! I love it when the broody, grumpy mmc claims he'll never get romantically involved with the fmc and then he falls hardest out of the two of them. I liked how he couldn't help himself from seeking her out and falling for her. I won't say much else about their romance as to not spoil some things, but I loved how it all played out.

I really enjoyed the writing style - it was addictive, easy to follow, and made me want to never put the book down. I saw some of the twists coming from a mile away, but there were others that actually got me and had me audibly gasping. That ending was wild and I need book 2 like yesterday!!

This one comes out on tomorrow and I definitely recommend it!

Thank you, Del Ray and Netgalley, for the ARC.

First of all, why am I always attracted to books that have a cliffhanger that wants to make you throw the book through the room? Argh!

I can already tell that this is my favorite book of the month. Waw, I am truly blown away. I loved every second, every page of this book. From beginning to the end.

This dystopian story is so well-thought. The characters, the plot, the action, the romance, the twists and turns. Everything is out of this world.

And the whirlwind of emotions you feel while reading this remarkable story... the happiness, the sadness, the shock... let's say you will feel every emotion.

I highly recommend this book. It's for a thrilling wild ride! Can't wait for the next book.
