Reviews:

At only thirty pages total, this story can be read in its entirety in only a few short minutes. That is not to say that it not worthy of being read. Ms. Jardin’s writing style is fresh and pulls readers in. As the story is told in the first person, readers can almost feel the emotions and the struggle that the heroine feels.

"Silver Blues is a short paranormal read that pulls you in from the first sentence. Lea Jardin’s descriptive writing style enhances the readers’ senses making them feel as if they are the character. I like how this story keeps a steady, flowing pace from beginning until the end. Jardin doesn’t overstate the obvious, leaving the reader to use their imagination. I wanted to learn more about the heroine and her life and didn’t want the story to end. Silver Blues leaves the reader hungry for the next installment. I know I’ll be on the lookout for the next part of the Silver Tipped Series." Reviewed by: Tracey, FALLEN ANGEL REVIEWS
