Radcliffe gets you up close and personal with her characters. The reality of their situations really hits home. You`re not a bystander with this story, but an active participant. Readers learn about the various abilities of the beings they encounter not because they`re told about them, but because they experience them. It`s a remarkable feeling. The fast paced, upbeat writing ramps up the suspense, and the action is absolutely captivating.
I loved seeing how Gavin & Daisy actually met. The convergence of their story with that of Ladon & Rysa set readers up nicely for the next instalment in the series. Radcliffe also develops her characters to new heights in this novel. I thoroughly enjoyed finding the hidden depths in those we spend time with here, while catching glimpses at what their future might hold.
I appreciate the way that Radcliffe tackles some tough subjects in this extraordinary story. Her characters aren`t perfect. More than one suffers from some form of disability or disadvantage, yet they remain strong and self-sufficient individuals. This overwhelming message combines with this brilliantly hypnotic novel to create a story that will leave a lasting impression on readers.
This story is a brilliant addition to the Fate~Fire~Shifter~Dragon world. I love how it ties in with the rest of the series while also standing out on its own. I’d recommend it to any who enjoy urban fantasy and/or paranormal stories.

This is an extremely fast paced, short read, keep you at the edge of your seat the entire time, tale of Gavin, and is rated at FIVE STARS by the Schwartz Reviews.
The weirdness of the man’s face had to be a trick of the light. No one’s eyes glinted red. And no one’s teeth gleamed. No one smelled like a chemical spill and still danced around like a king’s jester. No one real.
Schwartz Synopsis
This story takes you back to when Rysa is kidnapped, but this time, you are reading from Gavin’s point of view. Now you get to see just how Gavin meets Daisy, and the terror that they encounter together as Shifter’s demand answers from Daisy. Gavin, with Dimitri and Ivan’s help, runs in to try and give any support he can to the woman who he owes his life to. How will they survive their encounter with a very dangerous, semi-crazy, raging Shifter? This is the beginning of their story, and probably the most important piece of their puzzle. Do not miss this fantastic beginning filled with terror, questions, and answers.
A threatened life, he had. Hackers out for his blood? He had that, too. But why did they care about him?
Clarity, though, he did not have.
Maybe this Daisy knew. How hard could it be to find a flower?
Schwartz Thoughts
I found the read extremely interesting to be with Gavin while Rysa was being kidnapped. Watching him, hearing his thoughts, while his best friend was taken was an all-new experience for the reader. While this short read was jammed packed with action, there were moments that it had me giggling to myself (thankfully I read without an audience ;). It had me guessing at times as well, wondering what was going on??? It is no secret that I adore Kris Radcliffe’s writing, but I do honestly review her work unbiased. Her writing is well thought up, nothing is added in ‘willy-nilly spur of the moment because I need it’ because I am positive she has storylines prepared. You can feel the amount of work that has gone into these books. The characters are well developed and even though you spend time in each of their heads, they all sound different from one another. The scenes are described perfectly, not overly so but enough that the reader can get the idea of what is around them.
Another thing I enjoy about these novels is the amount of work behind these words. There are no errors, and the story is unique. I have read nothing prior to these works about the types of supernaturals within these pages. And even if they are in other books, hers are done so differently that they really are on a different level. Overall, great book and again, I look forward to reading anything by this author in the future. She is one to keep your eye on.
It all seemed… surreal. In his head, little voices argued: Go through the door. Don’t go through the door. A Fate chose you. A Fate’s using you. Be a man. Be a wuss. Maybe you’re enthralled.
Maybe you’re a normal guy in over your head.
Gavin groaned.
Another little voice piped up: Oh, yeah, motherfuckers? Challenge accepted.
Recommendation
I would recommend these books to anyone who loves fast-paced science fiction. I would recommend the series to anyone who enjoys sci-fi spiced with soft romance. But honestly, I would recommend these novels to anyone, anywhere. Honestly, happy reading!

I can never say enough about this series by Kris Austen Radcliffe. If you enjoy Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Paranormal, Romance or Not, this series is a great read.
Silent is an awesome completion to this novella trilogy. This installment was mostly from Gavin's POV. Kris does such an awesome job of developing her characters that I truly begin to feel what it must be like in their shoes. Not only do we get insight in how it feels to be a "normal" in a world of paranormal/sci-fi characters, we also are brought into the world of a hearing impaired person and what it would be like to have a device that could grant the ability to be apart of the hearing world and what it would be like to loose that ability to hear for a second time.
I was rooting for Gavin all the way through and cheered for him as he proved that you can be "normal" and still have value.
The Silence Cycle trilogy has been a spectacular way to meet Daisy and Gavin and learn about how they tie in to the Fate - Fire - Shifter - Dragon world. It connects the first Trilogy to the next set of books in this series.

Rysa's deaf friend Gavin witnesses her attacked by Burners. As with all of Kris Austen Radcliffe's books, this is just amazingly written. I really like her style with the short, choppy, adjective filled sentences that set the tone and draw you into the Fate/Dragon/Shifter world. She has such a way with descriptions. The story is exciting and fast-paced. I really care about these characters. They are sympathetic and interesting. Another great Kris Austen Radcliffe book. 5 stars.
