~ Five brothers, one family tragedy, untold heartache. ~Blind rage. Cold-hearted violence. These are my mistresses. I’m not the man they believe me to be. I’ve contented myself with surviving. Thriving on the blood of my sport. A mere shell of a man since my twin sister was ripped from my life more than a decade ago with no sign, no trace, no clues, and no closure. Half of my soul was torn from … torn from my body in the blink of an eye, leaving me to flail in the wind as I grapple with the brutal aftermath.
The only beacon of hope, the only light that has ever shone in my dismal world, has been Eden Montes—my sister’s best friend. The one girl I could never have, but have always wanted. She’s just as fractured as I am, a broken little bird, and yet she wants to fix me.
Me.
A man one breath away from breaking beyond repair.
Can we find our way? Even as my sister’s case finally finds closure? Will it be enough for both of us to find our way out of the darkness? Because the darkness is all I know, it’s where I live.
My name is Silas Creed.
I am The Silencer.
***Reader note: This is the fifth of a 6-part emotional family saga series. Each story is 100% male first-person point-of-view, and while each full-length novel is guaranteed to have a complete HEA romance, their family mystery remains unsolved until the end of the series.
***Due to profanity, violence, and very strong sexual content, this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

When I did my review for the previous book in this series, I suggested grabbing a box of Kleenex before starting it. Forget that. For this book, my reader friend, you’ll need an entire case of them. I thought The Prodigal was an emotional read, but this one is much more so. Silas and Eden are the most broken and damaged by Claire Creed’s disappearance. Silas lost half of his soul when his twin sister vanished, and Eden has carried an unbearable load of guilt since losing her best friend.
I suspected that Silas’s story would be heartbreaking, but I never could have anticipated the depths of pain and devastation both he and Eden have suffered for ten long years, or how their story would shatter my heart and leave its mark so indelibly on my soul. Yet in the midst of all the pain, sorrow and loss is also healing, joy and hope. Silas says it best when he speaks of the pain and loss his family has suffered and states, “. . . we have still managed to find beauty in our sorrow.”
The Family Creed is an amazing series, but it’s so much more than romance. Yes, we have the deep abiding connection between soul mates and the happily ever afters. But it’s the unbreakable bond of family through every hardship and challenge that reminds us of what really matters in this world and leaves us better for having taken this journey with these characters that sets this series apart and makes it undeniably special and decidedly unforgettable. Don’t miss out on this poignant, heartfelt, inspiring read!

Each Creed fella just steals your heart. You know you’re in for an emotional ride with a Shauna Allen book. Each one just gets better.
I have read the entire Creed series and loved each book. Every Creed son had a different story to tell and all books are tied together by the disappearance of their sister Claire over a decade ago. Each story has been beautiful, sexy, funny and heartbreaking. Shauna Allen has given us her all and more in Silas’ story. If you haven’t read the series you cannot begin here. You have to go to The Executioner and follow the Creed brothers journey because each story may stand alone but they are all interconnected and leading to Claire’s story. All five Creed brother’s stories are told from first person male POV. Silas was Claire’s twin and as any parent of twins know, they share a special bond. When Claire went missing, Silas got very angry and bitter. It is a rightful emotion but it has been slowly destroying his soul. Silas is a MMA fighter and that has been the place where he is able to put his anger into action. He gets sidelined and has to go home for some help. Claire had a best friend that was always with her and Eden is like family to the Creed’s but Silas always felt something more for her. Silas had lost his way, needs help and The Silencer is the story of him finding his way back. Eden has her own set of demons and hopefully together they will slay them. I’m not going to sugarcoat it, this book is a tearjerker. You will need extra Kleenex but it’s so worth it! I know that there is going to be a final novella with Claire’s story. I have fallen in love with this girl through her brother’s stories and I hope that I can handle it.
The Silencer by Shauna Allen is a fantastic book! I couldn’t put my kindle down while reading this book! This is the 5th book in the Family Creed series. This book kept me on the edge of my seat! Shauna Allen doesn’t disappoint in this book!
The Silencer by Shauna Allen finally tells the story of Silas Creed and Eden Montes. The book begins with Silas being in the hospital after he was in an accident with his motorcycle. Eden has always loved Silas since she was best friends with his twin sister Claire who in this book the mystery behind her missing cold case will be solved. Silas has asked Eden to be his trainer so that he can fight again. Eden agrees and the chemistry between the pair is spontaneous! Will Silas and Eden get their happy ever after and heal each other spirits? You will have to read The Silencer by Shauna Allen to find out!
The Silencer will keep you so engrossed that you will have to finish the book! You have to read the 1st four books in the series in order to follow along with the mystery. This book has plenty of romance, suspense and lots of hot love scenes. Make sure you grab a copy of The Silencer by Shauna Allen. You won’t be disappointed at all!
My heart is totally shredded after finishing this book. Grief has caused Eden and Silas to deal with their emotions in different ways. Silas pushing Eden away just made me want to smack him upside the head. We finally get closure for Claire but then something else pops up and you wonder how much more can this family take. But through so much grief, there is a silver lining and seeing how the family is coming together was wonderful.
The long-awaited Silas story is finally here! Silas has been that broody guy, the one with so much on his mind that he can’t help but appear to be standoffish, distant, and angry. And he really does have reason to be angry. But when he sees Eden again after his accident, things start to change. Eden has a way of getting through to Silas, and we start to see the real him. This story was emotional, and heartbreaking, and hopeful all wrapped up in one. I absolutely loved it, and I highly recommend it!
