A Taste of Silver- S.B. Roozenboom

Rose Ridgewood can't stand her father's new employee. It isn't just Hayden O'Conner's attitude and criminal record that bothers her-it's his odd, silver eyes and the fact that she can't read him. It isn't until she becomes a victim in a deadly game of chase that secrets are uncovered that alter not only her views of Hayden, but of modern humanity. As Rose learns what Hayden really is, her emotions take her closer to him...and closer to danger. When lives are threatened she'll have to decide whether to stay safe at home in California, or follow what might be true love into the unknown.

Rachel's face returned, grinning that dimpled smile. How brave, Rosie?
 
 
 
The Review
 
4 1/2 Stars
 
How Brave Rosie? Well Rosie had to be pretty brave to go through what she did. She had to be brave to give up what she did. A Taste of Silver follows a girl named Rosie as she learns to deal with her father's new employee Hayden. Rosie can't stand him to begin with but then she learns what he really is and what he has been doing to keep her safe. Hayden was such a lovable character. I was rooting for him and Rosie the entire way. The characters were well developed and I got wrapped into their story just as Rosie's hair got wrapped around a toliet seat. It was that good. Anyway speaking of toliet seats, was it imperative to add that? No. There was no point in the fact that Rosie's hair was wrapped around a toliet seat. It could've been left out of the story. Hayden's friends, Lea and Drake, had me cracking up at their antics. They acted like my friends and I do together, it was funny. They had real qualities that made them interesting. I loved Rosie's dad. He was so sweet. Chanel seemed a little caught up in herself. At some parts it seemed that she didn't even care about Rosie. Even though she was her "best friend". Well, NEWS FLASH, best friends don't treat their friends like crap. Overall it was a good book with well developed and lovable characters and a great plot. The whole Faerie concept is interesting. Especially when your boyfriend's father is stalking you...
