Silver Tongue: A Novel in The Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Series (Nate Temple Series) Paperback – December 1, 2016
Purchase options and add-ons
Fairy Tales are very literal survival guides. Ignore them at your peril…
Nate Temple has gotten away with a lot in recent years: cow-tipping the Minotaur, decimating a gang of weredragons, sucker-punching Angels, and eating pancakes with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He’s kidnapped one of the most powerful wizards on the planet and slaughtered the Brothers Grimm. Lady Luck has been very good to Nate Temple…
Until now.
Nate's good fortune has turned, catching the attention of a recruiter—the kind of person who offers jobs that can’t be refused…
The kind of job that comes with perks like selling your soul to your new employer. That’s when a wizard tastes real fear—when he learns that all the biggest, baddest monsters actually work for the same guy—and they do so against their will.
Silver Tongue…The nightmare everyone both knows, and doesn't know…
Lady Luck better have one more good toss of the dice for Nate, or this will be the last game he ever plays. Unless…he can find a way to cheat the House.
If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Nate Temple Series.
“Shayne Silvers, Jim Butcher, and Kevin Hearne are easily my favorite Urban Fantasy Authors. In that order.” — Michael Anderle, Amazon Top 25 Bestselling Author

About the author
Shayne is a man of mystery and power, whose power is exceeded only by his mystery…
He writes the Amazon Bestselling Feathers and Fire Series about a rookie spell-slinger named Callie Penrose who works for the Vatican in Kansas City. Her problem? Hell seems to know more about her past than she does.
He also writes the Amazon Bestselling Nate Temple Series, which features a foul-mouthed wizard from St. Louis. He rides a bloodthirsty unicorn, drinks with Achilles, and is pals with the Four Horsemen. Both series take place in the same universe, because it’s fun.
Shayne holds two high-ranking black belts, and can be found writing in a coffee shop, cackling madly into his computer screen while pounding shots of espresso. He’s hard at work on the latest books in his shared TempleVerse, as well as a few new projects that will blow readers' mind-holes...

After the ravages to his business and his friends done in Grimm Nate Temple has been forced to rebuild his bookstore, Plato’s Cave, to generate some income for himself. And he is back to buying rare books with magical implications for mystery clients. And apparently, he never got over his tendency toward devious dealings regarding these books. Also, the mysterious clients and their competitors for the possession of these books continue to pose a serious threat to Nate and his friends; they are seldom open and above board in their dealings either.
The confusing thing this time is that there appear to be three or four different books in play this time. It isn’t clear until the end which book is causing so much trouble – and I already forgot. But, as I said, there are at least two or three others confusing the issue as well.
Once again there is a host of characters from myth, legend, and fairy-tale tangling with each other. We have most of the characters from the previous books that haven’t already died, and some that have, plus a few new ones, notably the famous Russian witch, Baba Yaga. The main evil genius of this story is a demon called Silver Tongue – only, as so often happens with these things, it turns out he is not who he seems either.
The girls in Nate’s entourage are starting to come into their own. They have always been beautiful and intelligent (even if this last trait was rather glossed over in the early books of the series), but since their encounter with the Grimms in the previous book, they have acquired serious magical powers of their own. Nate’s girlfriend, Indie, and his former business manager, Ashley, who is now engaged to his best friend, the werewolf Gunnar, are still having some trouble controlling their new powers. But one is left with the impression that when they learn what they are doing, they will leave Nate in the dust. And Tory, who has always possessed supernatural strength but was so easily swayed to silliness in the first book of the series, can now stop bullets and other weapons cold and nullify magical attacks from some of the worst in the business. These girls are no longer just eye-candy.
These characters are so well loved and developed by the author. His story telling is very good and so enjoyable. There have been many times I think I know where it is going and he surprises me. That just doesn't happen much anymore. This book was the best because it made me laugh, cry, surprised me, pissed me off and overall made it hard to put down. Who can't love books that do that for you.
I would strongly suggest you take the time to catch up, if you aren't already with the other Nate Temple books. It will make this one so much easier to follow and enjoy. You can certainly read it independent of the others, in my opinion, it's 100 times better with the knowledge of the others first. You truly will enjoy this book if you give it and the series a chance.
Once again, the sh**t has hit the fan, and Nate is right in the middle of it. Another book is wanted by too many people, and they are going to hunt Nate down to get it. But... he doesn't have it, doesn't know what it is, or even where it is.
Things are happening with Indie and Tory... interesting things directly related to the events that happened at the end of Grimm. Nate is struggling to help them, all while trying to keep one step ahead of those hunting him. Meanwhile, Gunnar is leading his own life with his pack and Ashley, who's trying to take control of her newfound werewolfness. He's trying to keep that life separate, but Nate's usual bad luck keeps bringing Gunnar into Nate's problems.
But ultimately, Nate's friends, old and new, all come to help him in the end... and there are a few surprises as well.
Great book, as always. I'm seconds away from starting the next one.

Wonderfully vivid characters, even the supposed mythological ones!
Never lacking in action. It's also rife with wry humour, great camaraderie between the characters and a darn fun read.
More puzzles thrown up, more intrigue and new characters pop up at the most awkward of times for poor old Nate.
A really enjoyable, addictive urban fantasy series that just seems to get better and better with each book!
