Obsidian Son: A Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Book 1 (The Temple Chronicles)
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.

"War Hammer was a slower start than previous Nate Temple stories, but still a very good novel."
"The Nate Temple series continues to keep me enjoyably entertained."
"While not the titanic jumps in stakes or dynamic turn-arounds of some of the previous books, this one works on a (slightly) more subtle level, instead focusing heavily on the characters and dealing with the developments of their relationships in regards to prior events, and with new events that shed light on their history in ways they'd never imagined."
"Also, spurred by conversations with Callie Penrose and with Pestilence, who also wants to take the name Conquest, he again makes something of an effort to grow up, at least in relation to how he handles his friends and supporters. And with Matthias still running around mad with grief, and the implacable Castor Queen constantly trying to kill both him and Nate, there is still a lot for a wizard, or a horseman, or a Wylde Fae, or a godkiller to do."
"Last time Nate went into those wilds, he found his Wylde side that he didn't realize he had. He's hesitant to leave Chateau Falco though, while Castor Queen and the Mad Hatter, his own ancestor, are on the hunt for him and would surely stoop to hurting those closest to him. He finds some mysterious items before he goes and while he's in Faery he discovers a huge secret that his parents had managed to keep from him for his entire life."
"This is the episode that fills in more of the backstory while delivering Temple-style action and a couple of new, and unexpected, twists. If you're not yet one of the legion, start with "Obsidian Son" (Obsidian Son: A Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Book 1 (The Temple Chronicles)) and get set for some great urban fantasy adventure."

"I read over 30 books per year so it could be me being jaded, or just having read a lot of similarly tailored stories, but I usually don't much like most books I find for under $5. Bottom line, I'm glad I clicked the Buy button on this book - I read it in less than a day, found another favorite author and am eagerly awaiting to start on the next book in the series."
"Enough of this : yeah I have fallen for this author must continue book II calling me (write me another book *."

Best Historical Norse & Icelandic Fiction

The Unbroken Line of the Moon (The Valhalla Series Book 1)
In this savage saga of love, war, lust, and magic set in the tenth century, young Sigrid is destined to be the mother of the king of the Nordic lands that would become Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and England. In 2002, she was awarded the prestigious journalist award Guldspaden (“the Golden Shovel”) for her book Blackout , which describes her ten years as a Bosnian War correspondent.
Reviews
"This novel is an interesting weaving of the stories of Sigrid “the Haughty,” a semilegendary Viking-age queen of Sweden, and Sweyn, the illegitimate son of King Harald “Bluetooth.” The author is an award-winning Swedish war correspondent, and she masterfully “covers” the ambitions of the story’s myriad Viking warriors in a sober and sobering style, in all its brutality and humanity. The author applies the same bluntness and frankness in talking about war as she does in talking about Sigrid’s experience as woman very much in a man’s world. With this blunt sensibility, the novel really is typically Scandinavian (other reviewers seem surprised at the Scandinavianness of the book, which is what surprises me—it’s a story set in the brutal Viking age written by a Swedish war correspondent, for goodness’ sake!). The text reminds me less of “Game of Thrones,” as others have pointed out, and more of the History Channel series “Vikings.” For instance, it is historically accurate inasmuch as possible, e.g., almost all of the characters in the book worship the Norse gods, and the author does a stupendous job bringing this unfamiliar-to-most world view accurately and engagingly to life. It reads as though the author had written it in English in the first place, which is impressive given the Swedish lens on Viking history that the American reader is invited to look through."
"### REVIEW UPDATE ###. As indicated below, subsequent to the original review, I came to greatly appreciate the value of the impact upon my inner self so much that I raised the star rating to five stars. Subsequent to that, I ordered the Audible recording through Amazon at the ridiculously low price of $1.99, so I can listen when I can't read, and so I can list while I read - I love Whispersync for audio. Furthermore, I have pre-ordered the second book in the series, scheduled for release October 17, 2017. Here is a link where that book can be found for pre-order: The Valhalla Series (2 Book Series). ** ** **. **WARNING**. This translated book has graphic scenes of violent sex that many readers may find revolting. Nonetheless, readers must be forewarned – I wish the book description had provided just such a disclaimer. Quick Overview. If, like me, you find yourself wishing to learn more in regards to your Viking heritage by reading historical fiction set in the time of your roots, I have this advice: Be careful what you wish for, because the truth of your heritage may be revolting…. I had an incredible challenge in selecting my Kindle First book this month. Many of the musings in this book, although perhaps not specifically true to the characters shown, are a truth that we Viking descendants may be wise to remember, lest we delve too deeply into judging the woes and ills of other cultural groups. At the same time, I am humbled and I have grown as a person by exposing myself to the essential truths at center stage in “The unbroken Line of the Moon.” More to the point, I could not easily read this tale. Yet, neither could I toss the book into the dust bin…this is a revolting, disgusting tale that I got addicted to…. Length: Print, 464 pages; Audible, 14 hours 30 minutes. Q - How was this book obtained? Q - Is this a book that I can read without having to read others first? Q - Is this a fast, easy read or is it more of a leisure read? A – This is a leisure read. A – Due to the graphic scenes of violent sex, if this were a film it would be rated either PG-17 or R. Q - My biggest pleasure or disappointment? “You’ll get what you yearned for after you part your legs and offer yourself up.”. Emma screamed and kicked, but Toste hit her in the face again, this time so hard he almost knocked her out. The Unbroken Line of the Moon (The Valhalla Series Book 1) (Kindle Locations 3505-3521). Comments regarding your opinion of this book or of my review, whether favorable or unfavorable, are always welcome. If you buy the book based on my review and become disappointed, especially, I do want to know that and I want to understand how I can improve as a book reviewer."
"While the warnings of graphic violence and sex are absolutely true I think it should also be made very clear that these scenes are not just in the book to shock or stimulate the reader."

"Another amazing story in the Nate Temple series! Everyone seems to find their "wild side" in this story, and thus become more their own person as opposed to just "Nate's friend"."
"Some of Nate's friends, who traveled to the Fae land, were also gifted with some major new powers. Alucard continues to find being an acting "father" to Tory's twin daughters (dragons) a hilarious challenge!"
"So started read S Silvers a few month ago and now I’m hooked on supernatural thrillers."
"With every new book more and more secrets are revealed as to who or what Nate Temple is."
"This was a really good story and it sets up more while giving the reader closure on the previous story."
"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."
"To be honest, about halfway through this series I was getting a little perturbed by how much Nate’s life was spiraling towards disaster."

Reviews
"Disclaimer: I received an advanced reader copy of this book for free as a "beta reader" for the book. There are some epic fight scenes, but anyone who has read Will's book before knows to expect those."
"But at this time you should just buy and read all the cradle books."
"Lindon, Yerin, Eithan and basically every other named character once again come alive - vividly and luridly so - in Blackflame. The characters feel like real people with biases and flaws, making their way through Cradle based on the strengths and failings of their beliefs."
"I've been reading Will's books since the day his first one (House of Blades) came out and I do not ever see myself stopping."
"A talking magical Raccoon told me to give this book a five star review."
"There was great character progression, lots of action and plenty of foreshadowing for future books."
"Further its impressive watching his evolution since the first series: while Travellers Gate was excellent, it lacked the polish that one might except from seasoned writers."
"Read it for free, then bought all three books."
