Everything was going fine for Quinn MacKenna… until she accidentally stole from Nate Temple.Meet Quinn MacKenna, a black magic arms dealer from the mean streets of Boston.She knows how to drink, fight, and steal dangerous magical artifacts – but not for money. For favors. Because all her life she’s wanted only one thing – a secret so dangerous and well-guarded that no one will give it up.A ticket … that no one will give it up.
A ticket to the Land of the Fae so she can find her dad and finally get some answers about her past.
So she doesn’t ask questions of her clients, only favors, hoping that they will eventually add up to get her what she so desperately desires. And with her unique ability to nullify magic, the world’s deadliest artifacts – or the clients who demand them – don’t really impress her very much.
But that all changes when she accidentally robs the infamous Nate Temple, and finds herself in a much deeper world of monsters and conspiracies than she ever knew existed. Because Nate Temple and his friends aren’t the only things to be afraid of.
Now she has to worry about his enemies, too…

Careful Boston, Quinn MacKenna is a force to reckon with!
Love it! Who couldn’t love a tall, tough red head with a brogue? A black market arms dealer with a unique talent of her own. Collaboration between the surprisingly talented newcomer Cameron O’Connell and the Master Shayne Silvers has left me wanting more! I won’t spoil it by going on and on about the story, but I will say if you like action and adventure this is the book for you! Once you start though, Be aware the Templeverse is vast and growing by the minute. You will find you can’t just read one!
An exquisite addition to the Templeverse., adding a touch o’ the Irish. Quinn MacKenna, a lone-wolf (that’s a saying, not a hint) black magic artifact dealer, has always done things her way. No details, no names, no backup, and pay up! But, with the new world order that seems to be originating from St. Louis and Kansas City but has implications affecting her Boston and beyond, she is finding it more difficult to maintain her loner persona as well as her life. When their brand of chaos lands in Boston, she finds herself trying to differentiate between potential friend and definite foe. Add in a kidnapping, blackmail, theft, her unique “powers,” and random “What was that?!?!” and you have the makings of a fine read. I welcome the cast of new characters joining some of our favorites to deliver this story, firmly diving into the Temple mythos while simultaneously delivering an entirely new voice. Loved it!
This NEW SERIES by Shayne Silvers and another author, (I AM SO SORRY I CANNOT REMEMBER HIS NAME) IS FANTASTIC, and a great addition to the TempleVerse. This series will have you laughing and crying at the same time, bringing new characters, and old, together in a brand new way…Making the story even BIGGER now, with some serious action, and magic galore, this story will GRAB YOU from the first page until the very end….YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO PUT IT DOWN!!!
Again I apologize for not knowing the co-author’s name, I will correct this immediately! HS
A new series set alongside Nate Temple’s Templeverse, Phantom Queen (The Phantom Queen Diaries) commences with Whiskey Ginger as its initial offering, from Master of Supernatural Fantasy, Shayne Silvers and his new creative partner Cameron O’Connell, in an adventure full of wonderful characters, epic adventure, supernatural beings of all kinds, that will keep you on your toes as you race to keep up with who’s who, or how they relate to Nate and/or MC Quinn McKenna.Six feet tall and with the Ginger of the title describing her brightly coloured mane of hair, Quinn is one of the so-called Freaks – mutants and street people who have gathered together on the edge of so-called society. Quinn’s also a ‘Null’, meaning that although she doesn’t have any magic powers of her own, she can ‘tap into’ those of anyone who is nearby, including when she’s being attacked. This makes her extremely sought after by others with shady intentions.A thief by necessity, feisty MMA expert Quinn undertakes a ‘commission’, when she’s forced by a Dark Wizard,(who doesn’t exactly have Nate Temple’s best interests at heart, to say the least) into stealing something of Nate’s, that her tormentor believes is his. Will Nate understand her actions are not those of her choosing? Does Quinn go through with her orders? Can she escape from the quandary she faces?
A companion to the Feathers and Fire series (also set in the Templeverse), starring Callie Penrose, Phantom Queen (The Phantom Queen Diaries Book 1), Whiskey Ginger will enthral you and ‘whisk'(ey) you away to another time and realm and melt all your coronaviral fears away. Incredibly, there are already 10, yes,TEN in this series so far,that will put your reading enjoyment levels up on Cloud 9. Go for all Shayne Silvers’ others too!
So lets cut to the chase, this series is fast moving, full of adventure, violence and of course magic. However, it is also incredibly funny and sassy with Quinn at the centre of all this madness and mayhem.
I have read all four books in the series so far and because I’m a lazy fucker I’m going to review the series so far in total. If you enjoyed The Nate Temple Chronicles and then followed on with Feathers and Fire series you will enjoy these books. Cameron O’Connell I’m suspecting is the one to introduce a very Irish flavour to these books and he blends his own style in with Shayne Silvers already established Templeverse with the skill of a master craftsman. I suspect you can/should read these in tandem with the other series, I however did not. Having said that it takes nothing away from these books if you have done the same as I and read them one after the other.
I would say that a great many more of Nate’s connections appear in this series than did in Feathers and Fire books (although Nate himself makes only a couple of brief appearances). Quinn Mackenna is an puzzle and a feisty one at that, she’s a Black Magic Arms dealer with a temper not unlike our friend Nate Temple’s and she protects her own with often no thought for her own safety. She is not sure what she is, or even if she is truly human, this is the story of how she finds herself and what she truly is. I found these books well written and very entertaining and am looking forward to the next book in the series, keep up the good work guys.
This is Series 3 for Shayne Silvers and debute for Cameron O’Connell, so what should I say? This is my favorite book 1 of the 3, because that Irish Ginger will grab your attention one way or another. It’s also for me the favorite audio book 1 also. I fell in love with Quinn and her narrator from the first words… Very Impressive indeed.
Awesome start of a phenomenal series! Couldn’t wait to read the next one!
Yet another amazing series in the Templeverse!!!!
Watch out boys, there’s a new power to be reckoned with. Quinn McKenna joins the Templeverse cast as another strong, kick butt female lead. She may not have magic or super strength to throw around, but she has smarts, an attitude to intimidate even the biggest baddies, oh – and the ability to nullify all those magical powers she doesn’t have. I love Nate Temple – but I think Quinn is about to give him a run for his money. And don’t mess with those she loves!
This is the first book in a new series by Shayne Silvers and Cameron O’Connell.
Quinn MacKenna is a magical arms dealer in Boston. She accidentally takes something that Nate Temple was trying to get. That’s when the mayhem starts.
There is no way you can go wrong when you buy any book with Shayne Silvers as the author, or one of the authors. He is one of the best, if not the best, author who writes in the Fantasy genre. It’s s wild ride, from start to finish.
There are now 3 separate series taking place in the Templeverse, and every one is a fantastic read.I
I can’t tell you how fabulous they are. Just read them. You’ll love them!
What a great start to a new spin of in the Temple world, I just love how Quinn has a no $hits given attitude and just gets on with things and does the job she is paid for, you get to see some great action, twists, lol moments along with meeting more of the wondrous Freaks that live among us. It took a little bit to get use to reading her accent but after a bit it wasn’t a bother and it did give the book a little something else due to it. This book establishes the link between Quinns world and Nate’s and yup the introduction between worlds is a smooth as a 40 grit sandpaper. Getting to know Quinn’s work was great as you get a really good feel for her, makes you ensure not to meet her down an ally and see what drives her as well as her flaws, her friends what few she has are kept at arms reach and they vice versa.
