3.5 silver stars

Firstly, please don't promote this as one of those "If you loved Fifty Shade of Grey or The Crossfire series blah blah" book.

Books should not be compared to others, especially to blockbusters like those two series.

I really enjoyed the story in The Silver Chain, even though it did drag along for the first 3/4 of the book. I did comment to a friend who had also read it that "OMG it is sooooooo slow" and she agreed with me.

Gustav meets Serena one cold wintery night, just after moves to London. Sparks fly, and they can't seem to keep away from each other.

He offers her a business proposition with strings (or silver chains) attached.

I do no mind inner dialogue (thank god there was no Inner Goddess here),but boy Serena had a lot of it! I felt myself wishing she would move on!

I did enjoy the side stories of Dickson and Crystal, they tied into the stories quite well.

By the time I got to the last 25% of the book, I like that things were moving along a lot quicker.

Oh, and what is the deal with the red scarf? Does it have meaning, or is it just described too much in the book and I noticed it?

Just be aware that there is a cliffhanger at the end - and even though a bit of a tedious read at times, I am looking forward to reading more.

Just please - don't drag things out so much.
