Nate learns that the only way to save his city from these creatures is to murder his best friend…. Nate’s choice will throw the world and his own conscience into cataclysmic chaos: avenge his parents or become a murderer to save his city. Because to do either, he’s going to have to show the world that magic is very, very real, and that monsters are very, very hungry… To survive, he might just need to take a page from the book, How to Win Friends and Influence Monsters. I suggest the following sequence: Obsidian Son Blood Debts Fairy Tale – Prequel (FREE to email subscribers) Grimm Silver Tongue Beast Master Tiny Gods Wild Side. Dark Fantasy Supernatural Thriller Witches & Wizards Urban Fantasy Thriller Supernatural Shifter Angels & Demons Science Fiction & Fantasy Paranormal and Urban Romance Supernatural Mystery and Suspense Vampires and Werewolves. Anticipation abounds while fantasy meets reality in equal measure.The story unfolds as told through the eyes of its hero, the complex and funny wizard-man Nate Temple - intelligent, informed, flawed and a tad eccentric. As if character and magic were not compelling enough, the book spills much more - suspenseful drama, mystery, `spare no expense' fast paced action; it is violent, bloody, erotic, sexy and variously romantic.Harnessing a powerful combination of genres and alter-dimensions, Silvers thrives on attention to detail, and achieves it most elegantly.

"Nate Temple as a character works because Silvers continues to weave believable weaknesses through what would otherwise be a completely overpowered (read as: bland and boring) character and I dig it."
"War Hammer was a slower start than previous Nate Temple stories, but still a very good novel."
"I like Nate and his crew."
"The only bad thing about this book is that it ended."
"This was the best book in the series to date, and I cannot wait for the next!"
"Shayne continues to improve, not only his story telling skills but the mechanics of his writing."

She was such a complex character,and felt to real, not really knowing what she wanted out of life."
"Next to Lincoln's book, Graham's story is one of my favourites in this series. The chemistry between Graham and Mallory, you could feel it in each page of the book!"
"Add that her arm keeps sticking to her dress from syrup left on the console of her car, flustered feels like an understatement. Graham Landry is the epitome of NSFW in his custom-fit suit, black-rimmed glasses, and a look so stern her libido doesn’t stand a chance. Not because of his pinpoint exactness or her free spirit, but because when they’re together, the sparks that fly threaten to burn the whole place down."
"Oh my gosh...my favorite line in this book was from Joy "I wasn’t even sure which one I wanted. There is something about Graham that I just adore...I don't know if it's broodiness or his protective nature of his family or just because he's sexy and sweet! brooding man lose control and fall in love!"
"Graham is my favorite Landry yet!! The way that their relationship blooms is perfect."
"This is a story about first love, young love finding yourself when you are young and don't know what you want and then about finding that first love all over again when you think you don't care anymore. I love the way Ford and Ellie's story is told and has you thinking of them as real people that are your friends."

WINNER OF THE NEBULA AWARD FOR BEST NOVEL • Naomi Novik, author of the New York Times bestselling and critically acclaimed Temeraire novels, introduces a bold new world rooted in folk stories and legends, as elemental as a Grimm fairy tale. HUGO AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR | BuzzFeed | Tor.com | BookPage | Library Journal | Publishers Weekly “ Uprooted is confidently wrought and sympathetically cast. Of course that’s not true: he may be a wizard and immortal, but he’s still a man, and our fathers would band together and kill him if he wanted to eat one of us every ten years. Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life. Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. “Novik here delivers a tale that is funny and fast-paced, laced with hair-raising battle scenes and conspiracies; it also touches on deeper ecological concerns we grapple with today.” — The Washington Post. The resulting warmth and intimacy provide a nicely nurturing environment for her heroine’s unusual adventures.” — The Seattle Times. “An original and fully realized fantastical place guaranteed to enthrall her longtime fans and attract new readers.” — Library Journal (starred review). The vivid characters around her also echo their fairy-tale forebears, but are grounded in real-world ambivalence that makes this book feel quietly mature, its world lived-in.” — The New York Times Book Review “Novik here delivers a tale that is funny and fast-paced, laced with hair-raising battle scenes and conspiracies; it also touches on deeper ecological concerns we grapple with today.” — The Washington Post “Novik takes us on a surprise-filled journey. A delight.” —Cassandra Clare, New York Times bestselling author of The Mortal Instruments series “Magical and practical, otherworldly and planted in the real, I could not stop reading this book and neither will you!” —Tamora Pierce, New York Times bestselling author of Trickster’s Choice and Trickster’s Queen “Wild, thrilling, and deeply, darkly magical. An instant classic.” —Lev Grossman, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians Trilogy “ Uprooted is one of those tales you come back to over and over again because it’s just that enchanting. The adventure builds with such tension that you are peeking through your hands at the end, hoping it will all be okay, and Naomi Novik delivers a conclusion that’s deeply satisfying, earning a permanent space on my bookshelf that I’ll revisit often.” —Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of Shattered “Reading Uprooted was like rediscovering a favorite old sweater, familiar and beloved. It feels as if it has always existed and has been waiting patiently for me to return to it.” —Maggie Stiefvater, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Shiver Trilogy “I didn’t know how much I wanted to read a book like this until it was already in my hands.

A charming and inviting story that looks unflinchingly at the strangling roots of hurt and revenge.” —Robin Hobb, bestselling author of Fool’s Assassin “The roots of Uprooted are planted deep in fairy tale lore, but the story that Naomi Novik has coaxed forth is fresh and compelling.

Find Best Price at Amazon"That’s a pretty awesome combination in my book and when she chose to write the Temeraire series, a fantasy/historical mashup combining the concept of intelligent dragons working as a sort of Air Force with wartime forces in the Napoleonic era, well…I was hooked. It’s straight fantasy but absolutely reminds one of that nostalgic feeling of fairy tales you read (or were read to you) from childhood. After reading the opening two chapters I thought I was on my way into just such a fairy tale, but it wasn’t long before any ideas I had about predicting where this was going were thrown out of the proverbial window. The plot begins as a twist in the age-old concept of a young maiden being picked every ten years by the village elders to sacrifice to the dragon in order to buy its protection. Her use of language is perfect for this type of tale, combining the lighter fairy tale elements but also taking a deep dive into battle scenes with a hard grittiness that, frankly, surprised me."
"It has been a long time since I have read a love story such as this. There really is a lot of book in this book (if that makes sense)."
"I originally got this book as a gift, but then I wound up reading it."
"I picked this up after reading about it winning the coveted Hugo Prize for best Sci Fi Fantasy book of the year."
"I went into it knowing almost nothing about the story, but I do love magical fantasy novels."
"It's a stand alone book, but I wouldn't mind coming back to these characters. I loved the word building, the bits of Russian language sprinkled throughout. If you want a rich tapestry of fantasy with a little bit of romance thrown in, then this is your book."
"Readers will find plenty of magic to fascinate, battles to sate appetites for action, and an undercurrent of romance to round it all out."

"It has been a long time since I have read a love story such as this. There really is a lot of book in this book (if that makes sense)."
"Agnieszka is a young woman who has grown up in the shadow of the Dragon's tower and in the shadow of the Wood which is filled with danger and corruption. The Wood captures her friend Kasia and, despite it never happening before, Agnieszka manages to recover her from the Wood and clean her of the Wood's corruption. When Prince Marek learns that Kasia has been rescued, he pursuades (actually it is closer to blackmail) Agnieszka and the Dragon to attempt to rescue his mother, the Queen, who was stolen more than 20 years before."
"At first glance it appears similar to many other YA novels featuring a strong female lead but rather than either falling into the same pitfalls as as other YA novels or trying to pointedly avoid them, this novel goes at its own pace in its own style."
