Assassination contracts don’t make good wedding proposals.Sharing a beer with Death—one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—really put a few things into perspective for this foul-mouthed, billionaire wizard. Like finally getting the stones to propose to his girlfriend.But the Brothers Grimm—legendary supernatural assassins—have escaped their prison, and the number one thing they want after … one thing they want after their centuries-long incarceration is Nate Temple’s head. With the entire wedding party also on their hit-list and the Temple family fortune in jeopardy, Nate realizes they can’t run and they can’t hide. So, time to do magic and stuff…
But with every flavor of supernatural thug teaming up to help the Grimms, Nate learns that friends have become enemies and enemies have become friends, and he’s forced to cross lines that are better left uncrossed. To use some magic that he really, really shouldn’t use.
When magic, claws, and teeth dance to the song of war, the only thing left to learn is who lives and who dies. And if Nate can live with the consequences.
No wonder a guy is terrified to propose…

BOOK REVIEW : Grimm : (Book 3 : The Nate Temple Series) : Shayne Silvers.
ABSOLUTELY FREAKING SENSATIONAL
Shayne Silvers’ Scintillating Super Sensational Supernatural Serial Saga Slays!!!
If you’re looking for the ultimate story where the main character is a combination of the ‘Love Child’ with the Magic of ‘Harry Dresden’ and the Suaveness, Sexuality, Intelligence and Witty One Liners of ‘James Bond’ (including super cool gadgets), throw in the mix, the Fast-Paced Action, Magic, Murder, Mayhem, Madness, Monsters & Mega Hotties Of TV’s ‘Supernatural’ and all of the world’s Mythology and wrap in the covers of a sensational book and series, then Shayne Silvers ‘Nate Temple Series’ is Definitely The Ride You’re looking for!!!
A brilliant writer with over 30 books under his belt, this author sure knows how to knockout a fascinating story and he writes them so quickly too, there’s never much of a wait for on of this guy’s 4 super sensational series, with 3 intertwined in the same universe, The Templeverse!
Always well researched, balanced with entertaining storylines and more twist & turns than ‘The Waterside From Hell’! Some you’ll see coming, but others will blow your mind so completely you’re shocked you’re not wiping grey matter off the walls!
With supernatural creatures & critters showdowns, battles and powers galore that’ll make your jaw literally hit the floor! Silvers’ constantly keeps you on the edge of your seat with such magical high octane excitement, you race through the pages reading as fast as you can, but these books are so powerful they practically turn themselves!
These are the kinds of books you’ll need to down in one sitting, for once you pick it up, you can’t put it down, until it’s done!
Sleep, work, school & the birth of your firstborn can all wait!
The author even has printable certificate’s of excuse for fan’s stating (fill in the blank) missed work / school until the reading of said book (fill in the blanks) is completed. And its re-usable at least twice as you always re-read your favourite books!
Now that’s dedication to one’s fans!
Find said ‘Certificate of Excuse’ on his Facebook page Shayne Silvers Den of Freaks in the ‘File’ section!
Definitely not the type of book to take to an Aussie beach in Summertime or else you’ll be burnt to a crisp as if Raego or Misha (weredragon’s) roasted & toasted you, turning you into crispy critter!
An array of the most interesting, diverse & unique characters from all walks of life, social classes with and without freaky family secrets, powers & abilities that you’ll blow you away! Even the regulars can blow you away literally, these 2 women, Ashley & Indie are deadly on target with their guns!
The type of characters you’ll instantly fall in love with, root for and wish to have as your clique of mates or want as a bestie or that super special someone in life & love. Then there’s those you despise so much you love to hate them! Often dreaming up ways to hear them die screaming and you’ll love every second thinking it or reading it.
But even the bad guys provoke so much emotion out of you, you love them too, it’s just a love hate relationship.
And speaking of emotions, these books are like a roller coaster ride of emotions.
One minute it’s a major laughing out loud moment that comes out of nowhere surprising you so much you either spray the mouthful of drink everywhere while it sprays from your nose at the same time or your literal crying your eyes out the very next from some horrifically sad story, scene or death of a beloved character, but its fantasy so they don’t ways stay dead either, surprise surprise, surprise. Then you feel even dumber for letting the author extraordinaire (ass) make you cry for nothing!!!
Want to fall in love, laugh out loud inappropriately in inappropriate places, cry, sob create lumps the size of Uluru in your throat and break your heart, read with a great big dopey smile on your dial the whole time & laugh till your face & guts hurt like Hell! Seriously I threw my back out laughing so hard till my laughing tears turned to real tears from the pain of throwing my back out!!!
Seriously some days I feel as though I’ve gone 12 Rounds in the Ring with a professional boxer after reading these books! You become so involved, its almost like your part of the story and its happening to you or these guys feel like part of your family.
Immensely talented this author extraordinaire has a rare gift, the ability to bring the reader into his books.
You simply slip in at some stage becoming one with the character/s. Essentially Skin Walking in their shoes or else you feel as though their part of your family or clique of mates. And they make you really care for them, it’s like their real life people friends, family or lovers.
What greater compliment can you give back to an author, than the ability to feel so much from their simple words or the way they make you feel. These books are helping thousands & thousands of people going through tough hard times with painful, loneliness and depression.
Sometimes I don’t think authors or producers realise how much their work truly helps some.
I know these books are personally getting me through a very stressful & painful life.
So Shayne, I dearly thank you on behalf of all of us whom feel this way. We bow too thee.
Once you’ve read that final page and the book jacket closes for the final time and the book’s put back on the shelf/kindle library, you’re still thinking of the characters, the events and what’s going to happen next.
Sometimes, still weeks later!
Since I started this series, these characters have never gone more than a day or so without crossing my mind, but at least I’m at the beginning of what I imagine will be the biggest & best ride of my life in literacy!
That’s how phenomenal this author is, but as good as he is, he’s an absolute ass! He loves to tease & torture his fans in the most evil of ways!
So We the fans, like to dream up ways we’d love give him some paybacks, to torture said author monkey for killing off favourite characters and all the teasers & taunts throwing in so many major plot twists, that blow you away, leaving you gobsmacked as you wonder how in Hell he dreamt it all up?
My guess, he sold his soul to a Cross Road Demon! But knowing our dear sweet scheming slippery Shayne Silvers, I bet he snuck some clause or loop hole in the contract to out smart, outwit, out think & out write the poor old little Demon!
Each book, the character’s involved, the stories, the shenanigans and the humour just gets better & better as does the main man, Nate Temple. He doesn’t always win, cops a beating or two, has flaws that make him more human & endearing and is never always right.
He’s growing in maturity, gaining strength, powers, abilities, wisdom, friends, allies and even enemies.
Honestly he’s comparable to a damn fine bottle of 1951’s Penfolds, Grange Hermitage.
The fruit ripeness on the vine, is picked, stomped on, crushed & filtered till all that remains is that liquid ambrosia (oops wrong Shayne Silvers series, lol) where its then stored in oak vats to develop its flavours, taste & age, turning into one of the finest, most expensive bottles of wines in the world today.
Much in the same way Nate grew maturing & ripening into a Master Wizard. He was then stomped on by Jafar, the Academy & his evil watcher. Tricked & stripped of his wizard’s powers, no longer being all he’d ever known.
Luckily Nate was aided by his parents upon their death, with one last parting gift, the unique & rare powers of a Maker!
More powerful than the greatest wizard, but a skillset that must be learned & harnessed.
Also aided by ‘Death’ too, yep The Man himself (the boss of the ‘4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse’). Nate sure has friends in high or low places!
So yes Nate has grown, ripened matured, been picked, stomped, crushed, filtered, poured into an oak vat, where once again he was asked to age, mature, taking time out after losing his wizardry powers, he had to re-grow, re-learn, re-develop these new stronger powers, learning to tap into the constant flow of powers under his feet, this is where the power of a ‘Maker’ comes from the Earth, the energy all around, and all the while developing his parents multi-billion dollar tech company and becoming richer by the second, but forced to take a step back, from both the company & his powers, take a breath, fully control and harness these powers safely and command them at will rather than out of fear or anger in great times of danger and necessity.
Much like wine being poured into a decanter, allowing it to “breathe” a simple process where it oxidizes by exposing it to air for a period of time before serving which can help soften flavours and release aromas in a way similar to swirling the wine in your glass.
Nate and a grapes journey from beginning to end have had a similar process. Both maturing and being high in demand, becoming smooth, rich, full bodied, multi-flavoured and loved by all. Wouldn’t you like to take a sip from this tall dark powerful spicy aromatic drink?
I RATE GRIMM 5 OUT OF 5 !
This is the best damn fantasy series
I’ve read in years by my new favourite American male Author. I bought half this series B4 even reading a single page,
just a few back page synopsis!
I Definitely Recommend This Read
Actually I Say Buy The Whole Series.
It’s In Kindle Unlimited Too.
I bought a copy of this book from Amazon and this is my fair, honest and impartial review as always.

Exciting, Scary & It Made Me Cry!!
(Read using Audible Free Trial)
I was in hospital & too poorly to concentrate on reading words so my hubby signed me up to the Audible trial so I could ‘hear’ some books instead of reading them. It was a tad odd I’ll admit, but it was better than having no books at all Weirdly, I found Nate came across a lot more smug, immature & annoying in this format than when I read the books!! Maybe it was related the narrator/voice actor? I’m just not sure!
The story was deeply disturbing on some levels & heart warming on many others. The ‘Grimms’ were horrible zealots, never a good thing!! They tore through Nate’s life like it held no meaning & they had no conscience about who was hurt in the process!!
A really intense storyline!!
Debbie, 1970, UK
We are taken on a wild ride, almost right out of the gate with the third book in this series, and you never get a chance to catch your breath. Nate has a hit out on him, and it’s the Grimm’s that are after him, whom are much stronger than he is. Since he doesn’t have control over his powers yet, he’s a sitting duck, but his friends, and a couple new allies, are targeted too.
This book doesn’t let its foot off the gas pedal much, it’s a fully action packed book that keeps the reader tense and on high alert the whole time. Several characters from past books make an appearance, and I finally like Indie. For the most part in this series, I’ve thought she was just a filler character, but in this book, she finally comes into her own and earned my respect. My biggest gripe is that Nate was clueless most of the book. Being a Maker, he has no idea how to use his new-found powers and it does wear you down.
All said, this is a great addition to the series, and I like how Mr. Silvers is bringing in so much of the traditional folk tales and interweaving them into the story, along with witty dialog. A must for urban fantasy lovers. Reviewed by Cyrene
Great book….great author
This has to be one of the best series I’ve ever read and if you read it I promise you you won’t put it down
This book–and the series– is absolutely amazing. I love everything about it and it as quickly become one of my favorite series(along with others such as The Guardian series by Rain Oxford).
Nate has been forced to step up his game yet again and the tale is thrilling (Like the book about anti-gravity I just couldn’t put it down. Hehehe jokes).
No spoilers but: Mishaaaaaaa!!!!
Book 3 of the Temple series! Absolutely amazing!
Another thrilling ride in the Templeverse. This series keeps getting more and more addicting despite my minor annoyances with Nate (I struggle with his cockiness at times). This was a pretty epic story in that a lot of different freaks came together to stand against a common evil, and I enjoyed learning more about these supernatural creatures. Loved the battle scenes! Can’t wait to see what’s in store next.
If you have seen the show Grimm, this is basically a rip-off of that. Author honestly forever lost my interest with this contrite filth. He makes the villains overpowered and honestly just treats the book like he didn’t remember what he had said or done in the previous books. Disappointed barely covers.
