I'll make you pay ...

After graduation, spending the summer at the beach seems like the perfect vacation. All Stacey wants to do is relax, hang out with Jacob (her new boyfriend), and enjoy the ocean with her friends. But this proves to be impossible when her nightmares return, this time accompanied by annoying nosebleeds and a dreadful feeling that danger is lurking.

Stacey senses that Clara, a fifteen-year-old staying down the beach from them, is in deadly trouble. Cute, flirtatious, and rumored to be a boyfriend-stealer, Clara is not exactly popular with the girls. And Stacey is finding it difficult to help Clara when she's obviously hiding something. What is her mysterious secret? Why is she telling lies about Jacob and Chad? Can Stacey solve the mystery before someone gets hurt?

Over the summer I read all of the books in the series by Laurie faria Stolarz. That included Blue is for Nightmares, White is for Magic, Silver is for Secrets, and Red is for Remembrance. My favorite one was Silver is for Secrets and that is the one I am writing about today. Laurie faria Stolarz put so much great detail into the whole series. I loved all of the books!
In Silver is for Secrets, Stacey Brown is the main character yet again. She has a gift. Stacey has dreams about people she knows and people she doesn't know that are going to be murdered. Stacey and her best of friends and her boyfriend Jacob go on a summer vacation trip to a cottage on the beach. Stacey's dreams had stopped until she arrived at the beach. She had a dream that a girl she did not know was going to get murdered. She found out it was a girl in a neighboring cabin. However, in the past whenever Stacey had a nightmare she usually had some source of bodily movements that end up helping her to find out how people will die (she wet the bed when the person ended up being found in a port-a-potty). So the constant nosebleeds she receives must be a clue into what will happen to Clara, the girl that her dreams are about now. Stacey is still trying to have a good time with her boyfriend Jacob who came into the picture when he had dreams about Stacey's death and transphered schools in order to find and save her. Once they met they knew they were soul mates. Stacey tries so hard to tell Clara about her visions but she does not really care. She doesn't take it seriously until she finds the words "I'll make you pay" written in red paint on a mirror at the cottage. Clara is by herself at her cottage because here parents went out to see relatives so she spends the night in Stacey and her friends cabin which sparks up problems between Drea (Stacey's best friend) and Chad (Stacey's ex and Drea's new boyfriend) when Clara is caught kissing Chad. This book is filled with twists and turns and an ending that you'll never forget. My advice is read the end of the book with a box of tissues at your side.
Absolutely read all of the books in the series. I read one a day because I could just not put them down! A page turning mystery that I would recommend to anyone! I give Silver is for Secrets by Laurie faria Stolarz two thumbs way up!

This book was the best. I read it in 2 days, I couldnt put it down. You have to read it, but I made the mistake by reading this book befor I read White is for Magic or Blue is for Nightmares. So if I could go back Id read those first. And Im not going to spoil the ending for you, but its very surprising and made me cry for a LONG time. You HAVE to read it!!

I think that Silver is for Secrets is the best out of the first three books. I kind of predicted that Clara wasn't all that innocent. Mainly because she didn't really care about losing her life. She acted really childish and flirty. I never really liked her character. I never thought that she would do what she did at the end. Overall, this is a great book!

SPOILERS! DON'T READ ON IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK!


This is a really nice twist in the books. Usually, these books don't really have endings like this. The ending usually are really happy and everything works out. Jacob fell into the ocean at the end and his body wasn't found. That's how Laurie ended this book. It was cool how she put the journal entried by Jacob and the hospital talk with the doctor and Stacey. I love this book. Can't wait to read the fourth one!

In the book Silver is for Secrets, I think that the story is very believable because the author, Laurie farai Stolarz, makes the main character, Stacey Brown, describes everything so well. Throughout the whole story it's descriptive and I just love it, because it's like your watching the movie or dreaming if yourself, but it turns out you're just looking at very creative and descriptive words. If every book was like this one, I would consider reading all of them, but this book is so good, I've read it 5 times in 5 days. This isn't the only great book Laurie farai Stolarz has written. Silver is for Secrets is the third book out of four. I goes in the order of: Blue is for Nightmares, White is for Magic, Sliver is for Secrets, and Red is for Remembrance. All of the books are awesome but I think that Silver is for Secrets is the best because it's the most tragic and it brings everything together. Every single flaw that left you in suspense before, is tied together in one giant know at the end. You know when a book is really good when you're emotions react to it even though it's fiction. To me this book was awesome, because it had even gotten me to cry and I got so angry because the fourth book wasn't out yet. I had to wait for months until the book got out, and when it did, the very first day, I was at the bookstore in line buying the book. I finished it after two days and got so happy for the results, but I don't want to spoil the story. That's why you need to go and get the book yourself. Out of all the books I've read, this is probably the most descriptive, and if there were no descriptions, you wouldn't know what was going on and the book would probably be only 20 pages, but since there are plenty of descriptions, there's plenty of excitement and suspense to want to go get the book and read it 10 million times.

The character I admire most in the book Silver is for Secrets would be Stacey Brown, the main character, because she's a hero and an idol. She goes through so much that should just want her to stop, be she doesn't stop. No matter what happens to her, she takes care of the person in trouble first. She misses so many opportunities that can improve her life just to help another life, even when she needs to help herself. I would love to be like her. She still takes care of herself, but she cares about others first. I would love myself if I were like that. But the thing I probably wouldn't was to be like her is the fact that she cares for others so much, her grades lower. O would want to be able to do both, but the fact that her nightmares affect her so much gives her a great excuse. Stacey is such a loved person, because she can help so much. I want to be able to have nightmare to help people. Even though the nightmares have side affects, but just to be able to save a life would feel so good. I want to be a hero...I want to be an idol...just like Stacey Brown.

Before giving this book props, I have to say this. The first few chapters in the book had a hard time trying to maintain my interest. That said, the rest of the book was thouroughly enchanting. Clara, our wild card character in this book, causes such disarray for our cast of heroes that she really becomes the character you love to hate, especially towards the end. The tragedy that occurs at the end of the book, however, is such a cliffhanger and so sad - it made me teary, something that's difficult for books to do to me. After reading "Silver is for Secrets" I am eagerly awaiting reading the conclusion to this series ("Red is for Rememberance"), and as with the previous books, this is a must read witch-fantasy book.
