I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.
3.5 Stars
I was actually very excited to review this book. It sounded really good, so I was happy when it finally showed up in the mail.
This story had a great premise, and I loved how it started out set back in time. I really love historical tales, so that part of the story quickly drew me in. The storyline was entertaining enough to keep me turning the pages to find out what was going to happen, though I found the manner of sp...more

QUICKSILVER by Joy Spraycar is an interesting paranormal romance set in 1800's and present day. The characters are interesting and will pull you into the story. The plot is intriuging and interesting, It is an roller coaster ride of emotions with recurring nightmares.

Hey, I didn’t post this early today; I am a bit whooped on from a busy weekend. My youngest daughter had her birthday this weekend, we had a houseful Friday night, and then last night we were partying with Big Daddy Abel, author of the Open Mic series, and the Amish Outlaws at the Parx Casino in Bensalem, Pa. The houseful of people and the birthday celebration were nice; I love having the family around. The concert was intense and jam packed as they turned people away at the venue. Do the words...more
This story starts in the 1800s when Quinton first becomes a werewolf. It also tells the tale of how he first meets Serenity and loses her. They meet again in the present and fall back in love. Things escalate and they find themselves needing to destroy Quinton's father, Wesley for the sake of their future. There is also later a mention of a cure to the were virus. The key to finding it is in Serenity's ancestry.

Unique – is the word that I want to use to describe this book. I am saying that because I just can’t lump it into any one category or for any one particular type of reader. When I first started reading the book I thought about how I felt when I read Twilight. Everyone wanted me to read Twilight – I wasn’t thrilled about it but I gave it a try because of my friends. I remember reading it and thinking – “where is the story really going” but “hmmmm - intriguing”. Quick Silver is the same type of fe...more
For Quinton Worthington, the simple horror of being a werewolf was eclipsed one morning when he returned home to find he'd slaughtered his own mother. Vowing to never allow himself to be near other people again, he holed up in a tiny cabin with only one other man knowing his secret. One night he comes across a pregnant woman in hard labor - it's his love, Serenity. She dies giving birth to his father's daughter, who Quinton leaves on his friend's doorstep before he leaves the area in grief.

My 2 Cents:
After Quinton's father takes his love and turns him into a werewolf the story takes off. Fast forward a bit, Quinton discovers Serry after a car accident. When Serry sees him she knows he is in fact the man she has been dreaming about. She is scared but so in love with him life outside and what he is doesn't matter.
I enjoyed the book for the paranormal romance. Quinton and Serry fit together. Now I don't know if I could take the man in after knowing him for a short time, but she is co...more

I was rather confused by the concept of this book after reading the pitch and the blurb, but it was a werewolf book and I love werewolf books, so I gave it a try. However, even after the first few pages, the word that came to mind was "sappy." I kept reading the dialogue and the interior monologue and thinking "Who says stuff like that?" and even the actions of the characters. I mean, I wouldn't tell a random good looking stranger that I've been having emotionally stirring dreams about him for t...more

Another DNF for me folks. Let me tell you why. The story starts out as something I can really get into. A werewolf looking for his soul mate who was taken from him by his corrupt werewolf father 100 years ago. I will overlook the fact that the werewolf, Quinton, has mommy issues from accidentally killing her in his wolfy form. And the fact that these issues arise several times throughout the book. I get it, he feels rightly guilty. Let’s move on to the present. Serry, wh...more

I received this book from the author and/or publisher through Bostick Communications. It was sent to me as a review copy. This in now way affected my review.
This story starts out with Quinton back in the 1800's. That is where his story begins. It gives the reader a little bit of background information of him becoming a werewolf and what his father did to him. We find out that his father Wesley took Quinton's fiance Serenity from him. Later on Serenity returns pregnant and dies after giving birth...more

Quicksilver has a lot to offer readers of the paranormal genre. If werewolves, betrayal, and romance are what you’re looking for in your next paranormal read then this book is for you.
Spraycar has created a fantastic plot that takes you from the Quinton’s past were he became a Were and lost the love of his life in childbirth then quickly thrusts you into the future. The time jumps are somewhat annoying to me. Keeping myself engaged in the story was difficult at times. Serry’s nightmares were int...more

~Quicksilver is an amazing read and a perfect Paranormal Fantasy for The Wytch's Mirror with Werewolves, Magic and even Witches. It is an in depth story with love and romance along with mystery and mystic. The Weres also delved into the occult literally and I was really intrigued with the thrilling adventure and how everything revolved and inter-weaved.

Quicksilver was on the whole, average. Thats not to say it wasn't written well or thought out nicely, it was, but there are just some things that truely bugged me about this book.
Quicksilver is your standerd werewolf story Quinton our main guy was transformed into a werewolf by his father after he stole quintons love.
Later Quinton sees his love (serenity) die after giving birth. Cut to 150 years in the future (this happens a bit, skipping ahead days/months) Quinton now lives in modern times, a...more

When I started reading this book, I though "this book is awesome!" and I flew through the pages. I just wish this still was the case half-way through.
Basically, Quicksilver is about the eternal love between Serry and Quinton. They have a little problem with Quinton being a werewolf, and to cure him from that, they'll have to face Quinton's father and kill him.
Even though eternal love and reincarnation of your lovers soul isn't really my thing, I didn't find it annoying in this book. It was very...more

I've been writing since the 7th grade. My first book Quicksilver was released in March 2010. I look forward to two more books shortly, Phantom Wolves, and urban fantasy and Tawny's Ghost, another paranormal romance. I love to interact with fans, so feel free to contact me.
