Stacey has finished her high school days at Hillcrest Boarding school, and now it's summertime. She, her new boyfriend Jacob, and some friends, Chad, PJ, Amber, and Drea, are going to stay at a cottage on the beach for the summer. Before too long, Stacey starts having nightmares yet again. This time, however, they aren't about one of her friends; they're about another girl, Clara, staying at a different beachside cottage. This felt like the weakest book in the story, and felt like more of a stand-alone story with big consequences rather than the third book in a quartet.

I was determined to give this 2 stars. Half way through I started skimming because I was SO bored and wanted it to be done. I liked the first two well enough, but sometimes sequels of sequels aren't the best.
The only thing that redeemed the story was the end, which is why it's getting a 3 from me.
Unfortunately now, I have to either figure out what happens in the next book on Google, or actually read it.

My favorite from the series. mystery, intrigue, suspense and creepiness. all thats to be expected from the great Stolarz. Only this time the ending with catch you even more by surprise than the first too...and fair warning you might get mad.

What the hell just happened here?
I honestly don't even know how I feel about this book. Literally every character in this book pissed me off at one point. Actually, the only one who I could stand at the end was Jacob. Everything about this plot had me frustrated. How - after 2 years of this - Stacey's friends still question her nightmares. It's like, wake the fuck up! She saved your asses before, have some god damn faith!
And Stacey, come on! Grow a god damn backbone and speak up. For a main character, there's just not enough presence - nothing that comes from her. I find her extremely weak. But weirdly, I don't blame the character, I blame the writer. Stolarz, to me, seems like she's writing what she thinks teenagers/young adults are like and then taking it twelve steps farther and writing that down. Nothing about these friendships is believable. Nothing about their day-to-day lives are believable. And if you want me to care about your characters, don't make them so god damn stupid and annoying. Case in point: Clara.
Clara has to be the worst written character ever in a book. This is a combination of character and writing. If we were supposed to care that she was in danger - well, epic fail there. I cringed every time she came around.
I will say that the epilogue was my favorite part. The fact that it was an entire chapter written from journals, transcripts, and news articles was interesting and actually good. Too bad the entire book wasn't written like this.
I will go onto the next one and I will hold on to the bright light that is Jacob.

Absolutely loved this one. Of the four it is probably my favourite. Maybe because years later I still remember more bits and pieces of it than I do from the others. It was also a lot scarier.

Silver is for Secrets by, Laurie Faria Stolarz.
Another re-read from my high school days.
3/5⭐️⭐️⭐️
TRIGGER WARNINGS-
.
.
.
Violence, death, bloody nose
The third book in the 5 book series, Blue is for Nightmares
Follows the same type of format as the first two books, so it's very similar. The difference from the first two is this book doesn't take place at school rather it follows the characters during their beach vacation where Stacy starts having nightmares about the death of a strange girl named Clara.

Silver is for Secrets ended up making me cry by the end! I was so sad! I felt better when I read Red is for Rememberance though. It was good, and as always, kept that mysterious edge that every book brings!
