Critic reviews

Publisher's Weekly BookLife Editor's Pick 2025

"Rosenberg’s prose is as sharp as small daggers, her images leap off the page. If the hectic pacing and amnesiac gaps are occasionally disorienting, they are also thrilling." ~BlueInk Review

"Riches to ruin, a star's dangerous double life. Silver Dollar's fall births a vengeful alter ego. High-wire peril, mesmerizing tigers, ambition vs. madness. A dark, magical tale ignites a terrifying transformation. ~Kirkus Review

An Engaging Tale

Based on a true story, Silver Echoes follows the story of Silver Dollar Tabor through the Jazz Age while also chronicling a dual timeline in 1932, Colorado, as Silver's mom tries to save the family's silver mine.
Under all the glitz and glamour lies a deep look into show business and the underworld. Rosenberg also looks at mental illness with respect and doesn't make it some joke. I enjoyed reading both timelines engaged as much in Silver's life as in her mother's. Each woman's journey was unique but intertwined, as family was at the heart of the story. And, while technically, this book is a sequel, readers will have no issues reading this book on its own.
I like the narrator for the most part. She did well for the women at the heart of the story. Taylor also gave each character their own sound. But she needs to work on the emotion she puts into her performance as she undersold many moments, dragging the story down.

I received a free audio copy from the author, but all opinions are my own.

Exciting historical fiction

5/5 STARS! This was an incredible read based on a true story. I was not familiar with the silver heiress & was fascinated from start to end. A heartbreaking story that wraps you up & doesn’t let you go until the very end. Loved the ending & storytelling of the narrator.

Riveting Biographical Fiction

This was my first experience with this author's work, and the story was fascinating. Once the story began, I had trouble walking away from it as I became so absorbed into the tale. This was also my first experience with this genre, and I found it thought-provoking as although this was a work of fiction, the explanations of the historical character's actions were believable in view of our more modern understanding of personality disorders. This story moved my heart, and I found it emotional and memorable. I thought Heather Noelle Taylor's narration enhanced the story's emotional impact with her narrative skills. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
