Imagine, just imagine, you are 18 years old and living your dream life except for one thing: you really, really want to meet your biological father. This wish is the driving force behind Silence, the first sequel to Hush, Book 1 in the Lakeview novel series. Hush heroine Blakely is back and adjusting beautifully to life as the Teen Queen of an obscure Mediterranean country—happily balancing college, her stunningly handsome boyfriend and her new royal duties. Her American adoptive parents are on hand to help out, and her sister, Halle is visiting; so there could never be a better time for Blakely to set out with all of them in search of the man who was forced out of the country before she was born, and forbidden to ever speak to her unwed mother again. But how can they travel through France without being recognized? Ah, that’s where a royal stylist comes in handy! Wealth, power, and love fuel Blakely’s journey. But will her obsessive need to know the truth lead to great happiness or disappointment?

Review This quick, lively and poignant read explores that special longing felt by many adopted children: to know their biological parents. Author Stacey R. Campbell has meticulously crafted characters who come to life on the page so well that you feel you know them. She keeps the tone light, and is unafraid of tackling painful memories or events that ensue as Blakely's search intensifies. Details such as the excellent pasta dishes the castle cook can whip up for her pleasure enhance the pleasures of this story which has one foot in "fairy tale" and the other in "reality." What makes this journey so much fun is how much everyone involved cares. Blakely's whole family accompany her on this tough journey which leads them through some beautiful parts of France. Silence is glamorous fun, and at the same time, it is down to earth about skeletons in family closets and how families choose to deal with them. This is one of those sequels you can read without reading the novel that it follows (Hush); although it will make you want to go back and read the full story of how the adopted Blakely Henry came to find out she is the only surviving blood relative of an assassinated monarchy of a country that now needs her help. -Marlan Warren, L.A.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. this novella was a quick and easy read. I thought it was particularly good By Amazon Customer (I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a review).(This review may contain spoilers).After accidentally reading the wrong book, I picked up this one, not certain how fast I'd be able to read it... as it turned out, this novella was a quick and easy read. I thought it was particularly good, because it dealt with a very real issue.Although I haven't read the first book in this series, I knew Halle from the second book and I had been introduced to Blakely in the second book, too. I thought it was good to see that Blakely wanted to learn about her history... where she came from. There were scenes interspersed with Blakely and her family and I found myself sympathising with Hector quite a bit when the book switched over to him.It was nice to see some scenes of Blakely and Halle just being sisters. I could see a real difference in the sisters' personalities and how they interacted with each other and the people around them.I thought it was good to see the protection Blakely had to be under with being such an important figure, but I would have liked to see a bit more of her duties in the palace. I did find Lili to be a bit more of a well-defined character than Graham. I didn't get to see too much of his interactions with his daughters.There were some very sad moments in this book and although it was less of a mystery than the one I read in this series, I found there were still some quite intense scenes. It was nice to see some of Max and Blakely and I would have liked to see a bit more of them.I do intend to read the other book/s in this series at some point in the future, especially the first one. I would like to go back to the beginning and meet the characters properly.

By My So-Called Book Reviews Throughout this past year I’ve pushed myself to revisit some familiar genres and themes that I’d burned myself out on in years past. One of those genres was the younger side of the young adult which focuses on subjects and themes appropriate for middle schoolers and tweens. This genre was my main focus for the summer since I volunteer at our two local school libraries and like I’ve mentioned before, this is always the hardest age range to find books that kids want to read. After getting off to a bit of a slow start I’ve been pleasantly rewarded with some rather great series this past month. One such series is The Lakeview Series by Stacy R. Campbell and I must say that I absolutely fell in love with these books! Each one is filled with mystery, suspense and romance surrounding a century’s old school called Lakeview Academy.For me, what really makes this series stand apart from the rest is that each story is linked together but with different characters taking the lead roles in several installments. I think this works really well for teen readers since they can be known to lose patience and interest rather quickly, especially with reading! This style of storytelling keeps each book fresh and new while also giving you the sense of returning to the familiar. Books 1 and 2.5 are told through Blakely’s point of view with books 2 and 3 being told through her younger sister, Halle’s point of view. The style of story is also different from book to book which really fascinated me and kept me on my toes! Book one centers around Blakely discovering she’s a long lost princess and book two centers around Halle and has much darker themes with a ghost/mystery type story. Then with book 2.5, which is really a great little novella, we return to Blakely’s world and she goes on a quest to find her biological dad and finally, book 3 returns us to Halle’s final year in high school which centers on a murder mystery and false accusations.When I was growing up my absolute most favorite books were the Nancy Drew series, those were the best and I could just sit and read them over and over again and never get tired of them. There’s something about The Lakeview Series that very much reminds me of the Nancy Drew books, its apparent in all four of the books but especially in Whisper, book 2, which I’m sure has something to do with why it was my favorite book in the series :) These are fantastic books that I would absolutely recommend to YA/Tween readers and their parents and if your a school librarian please, please pick up this series for your bookshelves!Thank you so much to author, Stacey R. Campbell and to CBB Book Promotions for inviting me to participate in The Lakeview Series Blog Tour and for providing me with a complimentary copy of these books in exchange for my honest review!
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. short novella exploring the family heritage By Charlie Anderson This is a short novella between books 2 and 3 in the series. Blakely, the older Henry sister, is the main character. The location is back in Tamura as the Queen Blakeley discovers information about her biological father that was exiled from Tamura by her grandfather, the King, nearly 20 years before.This installment in the series again shows the close bonds of the Henry family and the love they have for one another. This was evident in the first book as well, but I feel like this short novella gave a more intimate look into the family now that some time has passed.What I liked about this novella is it gave a little more insight into the country of Tamura. There have already been two full-length books, but not a whole lot about the country before.This gives me a better picture of the fictional country of Tamura. It seems that King Edward handled the disappearance of her father on his own and did a pretty good job of it. The title is aptly named.The Henry family is hot on the trail of the latest information that Duncan has provided for them, and it leads them to a postal box in South France. From there, the Henrys are on their own.I was relieved that I didn’t cry. Although the outcome was not what I as a reader wanted, it was still an authentic and realistic outcome. Blakely learns what she so desperately needs in order to move forward.Since this was a novella, the plot pacing was incredibly fast and perhaps slightly contrived in the beginning, but there was still plenty of background information outlined in the first few chapters for those reading this as a standalone.I believe that Blakely is trying to make things right within in Tamura – for the country, for the royal family’s lineage, and for herself. I love that kind of character, and her family is incredibly down to earth. This is a great short and quick read.
