Paperback. Zustand: Good. My name is Callie Penrose - and I'm a rookie spell-slinger from Kansas City. I work part-time for the Vatican Shepherds, hunting monsters for them, but you won't find me in the pews on Sundays. Not really my thing.But when my boss is injured by a werewolf, it's time for me to put my big girl pants on. Because the Spear of Longinus - the one that allegedly stabbed Jesus on the Cross - has surfaced, and it's going up for auction. And every flavor of monster in my city wants it. Even a demon and a Nephilim, just for fun.The only way to survive the war and get the spear first is to team up with Nate Temple, a handsome, reckless wizard from St. Louis. But he has a dark side, too, and I don't fully trust him, despite what my body tells me.Framed for murders I didn't commit, I find I've become Kansas City's most hated wizard overnight. Because keeping the spear will get me killed, but giving it away will get everyone else killed. And letting Nate handle it will only paint me as weak. What's a girl to do?Especially when Hell knows more about my past than I do.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A city that doesn't believe in magic. Bloodthirsty weredragons. Good thing this reckless playboy has superpowers. Nate Temple has authority issues. As a reckless playboy living the lifestyle only a billionaire heir could, he easily earns the hatred and envy of everyone in St. Louis - especially the monsters. But that tends to happen when you're also secretly a wizard. and your idea of fun is cow-tipping the reformed Buddhist Minotaur, asking too many questions, and instinctively thumbing your nose at anyone more powerful than you. Shape-shifting dragons are dead set on taking over his city. Nate, never one to back down from an impossible fight, joins his closet-werewolf, FBI Agent friend, to stake a flag under the St. Louis Arch, declaring it immune to a reptile dysfunction. But dragons begin to crawl out of the stonework, hungry for a fire-roasted wizard and werewolf kabob. Temple finds his magical anonymity challenged by the journalistic efforts of the five o'clock news. Nate must learn the truth of a stunning betrayal that leads all the way back to his parents' murder if he hopes to save everyone he cares about. But not before he wraps up a little bit of dragon hunting. Obsidian Son is the first installment in the Nate Temple series of Supernatural Thrillers, and is said by readers to be a fine addition to the shelves beside the Greats themselves: Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, and Patrick Rothfuss.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. The Godkiller will rise.Despite his recent victories, Nate Temple's problems are only just beginning. Although it had been necessary, killing the most infamous of the Norse gods has consequences, and no one knows petty vengeance like the Aesir. Especially with Odin's legendary spear mysteriously missing.But Nate has more important things to worry about than a pantheon of angry gods.Because the God of Mischief has been freed from his imprisonment, and so has his monstrosity of a son-a creature prophesied to play a major role in Ragnarok. With Loki's masterful abilities at illusion and deception, any of Nate's acquaintances could be Loki in disguise, so he's forced to play things close to the chest, retreating away from those he trusts the most.But with gangs of expert assassins relentlessly hunting Nate for the largest contract fee ever known, the police and FBI starting to take a closer look at Nate Temple and his alleged crimes, his best friend's kids born with bizarre abilities, and his new Horsemen desperately needing their leader to begin training them for the Omega War.Now is a terrible time to be alone.And an even worse time for his people to be without their leader.Especially when Nate knows his old enemies were actually just the henchmen and that the real masters are still lurking in the shadows-likely even posing as his allies.The blades of betrayal strike swifter than the first kiss of new love, and the fate of the world is riding on one man's shoulders.The Catalyst walks the world.And no one seems to know exactly what that really means. Except that it's going to change the future of existence for everyone.For better or for worse.Because Nate Temple has changed the rules-the most hated, feared, and respected beings in human history are no longer safe in St. Louis.Even gods can die.If you like Jim Butcher, Sarah J. Maas, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. It's Mardi Gras in St. Louis, but Nate Temple - plagued with horrifying night terrors of carnage and chaos that could qualify him as a card carrying psychopathic insomniac - is not celebrating. Instead, he's been using those sleepless nights to try and get a grip on his sudden boost in magical power, the power that surged inside him following his parents' murder - the power that abruptly made him the strongest wizard for hundreds of miles. And that jump in power has only created a glaring void of jealousy in his wizard brethren, painting a nice fat target on his back. Still, desperate for answers regarding his parents' murder - and the mysterious Pandora Protocol project they had gifted him - he finds himself risking everything to dish out vengeance against the monster that destroyed his family. But will he succeed when the ruling body of wizards strips him of his powers, his allies desert him, the city itself fights to shut him and his billion dollar company down, and the heaviest of the Biblical big hitters threaten him to cease and desist his investigation before his Blood Debt ignites Armageddon? Nate soon realizes that he's in the fog of war against a foe that has been playing chess while Nate has been playing checkers, and every supernatural nation is fighting to get their grubby claws on the mysterious Pandora Protocol. Backed against a wall, it's time for Nate Temple to realize who he is without his magic, his allies, or his money. And at the end of that road, only Death is waiting to greet him.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Nate's To-Do List: De-pants Ganesh. Shut down a Monster Circus. Rescue a Chimera. Host Thanksgiving for his guests - an Angel, Achilles, and Death, just to name a few. Easy-Peasy. The Beast Master has come to town, and he's kidnapping shifter kids for his show. But the Queens of Fae also want a little deep-fried wizard for the holidays. Oh, and Nate is losing that last finger-hold on his sanity: hallucinating, and talking to creatures that no one else can see. The ancient demon inside of him is getting stronger, fighting for dominance, and only one of them can survive. But when Nate's extorted to rescue a lethal Chimera child from the Beast Master's Circus, Nate's only option is to partner with his inner demon, risking his very soul. But his friends begin to doubt and fear this new, darker Nate, taking matters into their own hands - even when that means standing against him. With allies turned enemies, the Fae breathing down his neck, and a dangerous child's life on the line, Nate must call upon, bully, and coerce new storybook legends and gods to save his traitorous friends from becoming the Beast Master's next victims. Discover what - if anything - Nate is willing to sacrifice to save the friends who betrayed him. If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, or Patrick Rothfuss, you will LOVE the fifth installment of The Amazon Bestselling Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller series.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The Brothers Grimm - legendary supernatural assassins - have escaped their prison, and their first day in St. Louis could be Nate Temple's last. 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 strapping on the boots to propose to his girlfriend. But assassination contracts have a way of putting wedding plans on hold. Perhaps permanently. And with the entire wedding party on the bloodthirsty Grimm's hit-list, and his 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 realizes that friends have become enemies and enemies have become friends, and he's forced to cross lines that are better left uncrossed. 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.

Click or tap BUY NOW to jump into the deathly hilarious adventure TODAY INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR: Q: So, what makes the Nate Temple series special? A: I wanted to write a series of stories that mirrored the books I liked to read in my childhood. My top picks were usually urban fantasy, paranormal best sellers, and of course, books featuring your classic gritty, pulp-fiction heroes. Basically, anything with a lot of creepy crawly supernatural characters: mythical creatures, ancient heroes, super villains, and gods. You will find that my stories focus on the ancient myths, characters, and stories we all know, fear, and love. Then twist them up and toss them back like an empty beer can. Q: What order should I read the books in? A: I've written the series with the intent that they should be read in order to get the full effect of the bigger picture; however the stories can be read in any order if you are looking for a quick, fast-paced romp through Adrenaline-ville. I suggest the following sequence: Obsidian Son Blood Debts Fairy Tale - Prequel (FREE to email subscribers) Grimm Silver Tongue Q: So, why should readers give these books a try? A: Because the Nate Temple series is a present day thrill-ride that takes no prisoners. Dragons, Angels, Demons, Greek Legends, Wizards, werewolves, and a whole slew of other supernatural 'Freaks' abound in my stories. Obsidian Son has hit #1 Bestseller on Kindle for Urban Fantasy and Paranormal. The plot twists and turns until the last page, and my twisted sense of humor will have you laughing out loud at things you really shouldn't be laughing at. I mean, the first chapter in the series depicts the legendary, murderous Minotaur as a reformed Buddhist, and Nate cowtips him. Come on.…
