The Nate Temple Series: Books 0-3

The Nate Temple Series Boxset Book 1

By: Shayne Silvers

Narrated by: Joel Richards

The first three novels and the prequel novella in the million-selling Nate Temple Series: Obsidian Son, Blood Debts, Grimm, and Fairy Tale.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard.

I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application.

Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

Started in the middle, but went back to the beginning

I love listening to series where the stories progress. But I started in the middle and that was ok because the stories were complete in themselves. I love the Templeverse! Suggest it for anyone who like real people & situations with magic thrown into the middle. Highly recommend this series!!!’

Amazing!

I love this series! I was looking for something to read after devouring several other popular fantasy novels and series! I love the allusions and references to other works of art and literature!! It’s a different take on the wizard and very different from novels written by women! Loved all of it!

Fantastic Series, I'm hooked

I would put in the same realm of the Dreden Files series. I know that might rub some people the wrong way, but that is exactly what I would compare this too. I really enjoyed this box set, all four books were very exciting. The story, and the characters, and the narration. I am really looking forward to the next Box set to this series.

Be careful of some of the reviews you read, I had put this series off five years now because I had read some reviews and saw some criticism of Joel Richards narration sounding too monotone. I really have missed out on this series because of those reviews. Narration is so incredibly important of a facet to listening to audiobooks, at least it is to me. Regardless Joel will win you over, he is a very good narrator, if you only listen to the sample, you will not ascertain how talented he really is. Don't let those reviews fool you, because this is an elite series and if you are a fan of urban fantasy this series will rank up there with the best of them. I will have no issues listening to a Joel Richards Narrated book going forward. He is incredibly skilled, and now I will always associate his voice with Nate Temple.

Eh

Wasn't the worst thing I've heard, the "performance" in book 1 was a bit rough though.

One of my favorite series.

Still great even on my third (edit 4th) pass. Nate is one of my favorite fictional characters. He has it all. He is a billionaire, gets all the girls, has the most powerful magic, is the king slayer, meaning even the gods have to step carefully when speaking to master Temple.

monotone inner narration but dialogue was Great

not sure if it a character thing but the inner monologue of what was going on was so irritating. the story was great. the dialogue was great but the second no one is speaking I literally have to force my self to listen. no emotion what so ever I hope it gets better.

Not quite deadpool

More Batman....less deadpool....the snark and fourth wall breaks are missing....good magic throwing fun though.

Fantastic series!!!

Mr. Silvers is a fantastic story teller!!! Definitely give this series a read or listen!!!

freaking awesome!

so worth the credit...Its like a murder mystery with fantasy and it hits you better than you're gna think it will. absolutely amazing books. great narrator...could be more emotional to some degrees with how he reads, but overall very good. on to the next 4-6 books now!

Supernatural with traces of humor

I can't wait to listen to the next books in the series. I love Nate Temples personality.
