Nate Temple #10
Horseman
Abandon all hope, the fifth horseman shall ride....
Nate Temple is on the hunt to right a wrong. Mordred - King Arthur's son - has escaped from Hell. And it's all Nate's fault.
Pro-tip: Don't let escapees rob the dreaded Nine Souls on their way out of Hell's Gates. It makes the escapee just an itsy bitsy bit stronger.
But what are the Nine Souls? And what does St. Louis think about having a self-proclaimed king in the 21st century?
Nate must brush up on his history, make uneasy alliances, and appease the King of Hell before everything falls to pieces. Because he's going to need to beg, borrow, and steal every scrap of power he can find to stand a snowball's chance in hell against Mordred and what the notorious traitor has in store for St. Louis.
Because Mordred has been planning this moment his entire afterlife, from that dark empty cell in Hell, and will stop at nothing to get his father's old heirlooms back. A certain Round Table and a sword. Only then can his master plan truly begin....
The world needs a Fifth Horseman. Whether they want it or not... Whether they can survive it or not...

Oh, how I love this series!
August 12, 2018
You know, when you find that the series in the 10 th book it's the same old, same old.....that's not this series. This an absolute thrill ride with snarky comments, innuendo, fantastic magic, and an epic ending. Nate will see what Mordreds been up to, and who the nine souls are, as he navigates his self proclaimed "Kingship" to keep his city safe. Then there is Carl. Seriously, Carl. Wow. You need to read this series. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book for an honest review.

Horseman is by far the very best Nate Temple book yet. So many things come to light. So many questions answered. So much love comes out between Nate and the people that help him get through his life. He goes through many emotional trials in this one. There's no way you can read it and remain aloof. Half of the time I didn't know whether to laugh, cry or scream in fury at the top of my lungs.
Nate's story truly begins to unfold. Finally he meets with Mordred and all the anger and pain comes to the fore. He's finally able to confront all the demons that have been riding him for so long. I won't say how things turn out. That's for each reader to discover on their own. Just be ready to be thrown into emotional turmoil. You will never look at Nate the same again.
Many questions are still left unanswered as well so be prepared to be clamoring for the next volume in this truly amazing tale.
I can't say this enough, Shayne Silvers. Extra extra kudos for Horseman! So Excellently Done! You have surpassed your own lofty heights. nowhere to go, nothing to do, but break through the ceiling of your own creation.

Just...WOW! The escalation found herein is absolutely mind-blowing. I've made quips before regarding how addictive this series is, how my brain has track marks, how this series is a huge reason why I am a book junkie, etc. Then Horseman comes out. Innumerable laughs, tears, cheers, jeers, and expletives of disbelief later, I have run out of words. So many pieces from the past click together. So many new questions rear their heads. We knew Mordred was going to be bad news, especially after stealing the Nine Souls (in the book titled such), but this?!? Longest climax ever! Sensory overload that a tweaked ferret at a rave would envy. I'm exhausted.
I'd say Shayne Silvers' brainpan deserves to be bronzed, but he may not survive that, causing the world to become a darker, sadder place.
In other words, read it already.

When Nate broke out of Hell, he inadvertently released Mordred, bastard son of King Arthur. Now Mordred has come to St Louis and nothing good can come of that.
It also seems that Anubis wasn't too happy about the duo's escape. Mordred far outpowers Nate so he'll have to be creative.
Nate's in for the fight of his life, but that doesn't stop Silvers from including family drama and humor

Another wild ride through the Templeverse from Shayne Silvers.
Nate Temple accidentally allowed Mordred, bastard son of King Arthur, to escape from Hell. So now he has to manage somehow to send him back there. But Mordred, in the process of his escape, somehow managed to abduct the Nine Souls, particularly strong magical souls, to go as part of him, so he is not going to be easy to defeat.
In his quest to conquer Mordred, Nate manages to travel through most of the far-flung areas of his own universe, from a little girl’s tea party with the daughter of a powerful member of the Fae Chancery to a return visit to Hell, to another contest at the Dueling Grounds. Through it all, we have Nate’s pithy comments, and those of his friends, on what is happening.

This is a long book so make sure you get comfy and have snacks with in arms reach! I really felt for Nate in this one as he was at a bit of a cross roads with all sides of his life basically pushing in on him, he has to try and keep his sh*t together along with try and keep everyone safe while he tries to deal with Mordred who is one sneaky bugger. He is also dealing with his relationship with Callie, a request to return to fae which brings back further memories along with a dream encounter with Callie that he has to work out what it means and of course a show down that will have devastating effects!! I want the next book now!!!!

Nate has been through the ringer, and this book doesn’t do him any favors. The nonstop action keeps you on the edge of seat, with no chance to take a breath. We have many surprises, we see many characters, and so many things happen to keep you glued to the pages. One thing I like about this author’s books is that they are generally filled with little things to surprise and intrigue the reader. Easter eggs, hints of future events, etc. Unfortunately, I tend to read too fast, and I’m sure I miss quite a few things. (Yes, I’ve tried reading slower. I ignore the book and have to reread passages if I slow down.) Even with not picking up on most of those fun bits, I quite enjoy myself on the Nate train to….hell? Don’t be like me; enjoy yourself even more and pick up on the little things. This series shows no signs of slowing down! Highly recommend! I was provided the e-book which I voluntarily reviewed.

Hope can be a powerful force. It can make Gods out of Men and the Despair of the Apocalypse seems insignificant. Life is all about choices. Sometimes the choices are all bad, but a choice still needs to be made. How we present ourselves in public involves wearing of Masks. Another great read by Shayne Silvers that will go down as legendary

Omg
What can I say. Unbelievable how awesome this story is. I couldn’t stop reading. My heart is still racing. Congratulations Shayne on another great book can’t wait for the next one. Thank you so much

Well, crap.
I guess that's what I get for putting it down in writing that Silvers is maintaining rather than escalating, he just takes it as a "hold my beer" moment. Or maybe a "come at me, bro".
Nate Temple has been jumping from one hodgepodge mess to another in a desperate struggle to keep up with everything going bump in the night, from crowning himself a King in necessity to juggling the emerging memories of two different lifetimes and the resulting ripples they cause in his powers. Also safe to say that being dragooned into the service of Hell to both clean up his own mess and keep the world from being destroyed has made his itinerary rather full, but he manages to fit in a budding paternal complex and yet another reshuffling of his romantic priorities via epiphany under duress at the same time. Business as usual.
So of course Silvers decided to flip the game board. Again. Something simple, like a whole restructuring of the very nature and power identity of the Biblical Horsemen of the Apocalypse. One that already has telltale hints as subtle as a hammer to the jaw about how it will affect not only Nate himself, but the broader cast of his ragtag friends and associates on a rather fittingly Biblical scale. Or maybe not quite solely Biblical, not anymore.
As ever, there are more questions than answers, and as usual Silvers' greatest glee comes from snagging the hook and leaving the fish to struggle and wait before putting them out of their misery. So apparently I'm just another halibut on the line at this point, waiting to see what happens next.

Decisions, decisions, decisions...
No spoiler that the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse rides in this latest installment of the Nate Temple Chronicles...or does he? As we have come to expect, Shane Silvers, wordsmith extraordinaire, takes Nate and his crew on a whiplash inducing roller coaster as Nate must face the consequences of his actions from his previous trip to Hell. He finds out quickly that not showing up at his new job as a tour guide to the fiery inferno is not an option. But Nate has even bigger problems top side, and he must find a way to appease his new boss Anubis to allow him to return to rectify the mistake he made. And boy was it a big one! He accidentally released Mordred son of Arthur, and Mordred wants nothing more than to destroy Camelot and all that is connected to it. That could be a real problem since some of those Camelot artifacts reside with Nate. Add to that, the resolution he thought he had with his Fae side turns out to be not so solid after all. In an epic showdown with Mordred, Nate makes that final decision we’ve all been waiting for, and instead of giving us all those answers we thought we wanted? It only brings a whole new level of WTH?!?!?!? Saddle up, cinch up, and sit deep—this Horseman will take you for one Wylde ride!!

Legends
At this point. Nate is back from hell and so is an unexpected person. The black cloud / souls are here in one person who is Mordred. Master/King Nate has claimed St. Louis as his country. Mordred is planning to take it after he has revenge for things which happened to him in the past.
Now we have friends and many secrets are revealed as the story continues. We must consider Falco’s baby named by Alex, the four Horseman, Matthias and to add Nate’s many friends. But the surprising person which adds to the story is Dean! He is behind the scenes but I find him very interesting and comic relief.
The plot twists will keep you busy and the surprises will definitely open your eyes. Talon and Carl are still present and add to the whole mystery unraveling! I loved the book and do recommend you read the previous books to fill in the holes. Look for new characters or placements!

We've heard of the horse with no name
well this one isn't him, this one's named Grimm
His Horseman is the horseman of Hope
and he comes with a real short rope.
Hope doesn't deal with much dread, he deals with Mordred
and Fractured Fairy Tales of memories
and a family tree that must've been struck
by cars and lightning and who knows what?
So, while Nate gets ready for his rough ride
and Grimm continues his killing spree of Roy G Biv
and Neverland makes cameos, and Callie does, too
and poor Othello deals with Hemingway and pals and po-pos
hold on for the next roller coaster ride in Templeverse
as that is what authordude gives us.
Alas, no shows of a kilted persona yelling
no freedom or Beaver concerts (Yay)
there is a hallway of death by Airsoft
a living cloud named Ruin gets food poisoning
Mordred gets Pacmanned!
Hold on for the next ride!

Loved it!
There was a LOT of action going on here, I loved it! I felt like this book was more of a bridge, setting the way for the next book and its revelations. I would have loved for it to have continued for a little longer, there are so many new questions and mysteries and it feels like we've left a lot of things up in the air from the previous book, then added on more things than we've actually solved, though that's not a negative, it honestly just makes me more eager to read on to find everything out. God I can't wait for the next book to see the outcomes of all that's happened! Plus OMG YOU FINALLY GAVE US SOMETHING!! I LOVED the chemistry between our favorite two, the emotions shown by both, wheww😆! Hopefully you'll give us a bit more..😂? Overall I've enjoyed the book and can't wait for what comes next. Keep up the work Shayne👏🏾!!

I loved this book that captured my attention in the first chapter. This book is fast paced and fascinating. There's never a dull moment with Nate and then there's the exciting places he visits, intentional or not. Put your feet up and get comfy, once you enter Nate's world, you're not going to want to put this book down. I love the great descriptions and the intriguing characters involved in his stories. This story is action-packed, with magic, danger, Mordred, vampires, Fae, wizards, monsters, Hell, The Horsemen, twist and turns, lots of laugh-out-loud humor, and an epic battle. Does Nate stand a change against Mordred and his stolen 9 souls making him more powerful? Nate can be resourceful, so I'm rooting for him!

Nice
This book was my favorite Nate book so far. The only thing keeping me from having full on dt’s is knowing Callie’s book will come out next month.
So many feels in this book. Lot of laugh out loud moments, A whole lot of action too. I totally adore Nate in this book. His interactions with his friends are always great. Seeing how he is with Alex is heartwarming. I totally treasure his times with Callie. Need more of those times.
Yes, some questions were answered, but man, all the new questions. Can’t even.....
Definitely recommend this book. And it is worth it to start with Obsidian Son, even though the cover of this book grabs you and makes you want to read it Right Now! Wonderful job Shayne.

Hope is what it’s all about.
Another masterpiece by the master himself, Mr. Silvers. This story enchants, pulls at your heartstrings, teases, tickles your funny bone, takes you for a rollercoaster ride, and makes you beg for the next book in the series. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, each book in the series is better than the last. When the master of words (Mr. Silvers) interacts with the master of wit (Nate Temple), the result is an explosion of rollicking good fun. This book can be read standalone, but it is so much more interesting when you start at the beginning of the series—Obsidian Son. Read fast...you never know when a new book in the TempleVerse will be along to tempt you!
And, Nate Temple, I’d give you a high five with no arguments!

So while so many series tend to go off the boil as they progress, this is not the case here. Nate's journey continues and once again Mr Silvers keeps the story vibrant and very funny at times. I have cried numerous times during this book because I was laughing so hard! (Embarrassing in the doctors waiting room but hey ho).
This series and both spin off's (Feathers and Fire - Callie's world and Phantom Queen - Quinn's world) are fantastic 'feel good' books, they are exciting, funny and they move forward at a good pace. Can't wait for the next instalment to find out where Nate will find himself next and when are he and Callie going to rub uglies?!! (Come on it's only a matter of time surely).

Excellent series
I stumbled upon the first Nate Temple novel by accident, and have devoured them. The plot lines are interesting and often surprising. The characters are well-developed and wonderfully flawed beings. As Nate grew in power and notoriety in the alternate Earth where he resides, I started to worry that he and the story would become boring, like I have seen with overly powerful rpg characters that you eventually put away and save to stir up new campaigns. I am delighted to report that this fear was groundless, because Temple's allies, foes, and problems keep him on his toes.
Shayne Silvers is a marvellous storyteller, full of hard truths and humor, sometimes in the same sentence.

Another head spinning tale
Just when you think that you have some sort of handle on Nate Temple, whoa, major plot twist! Nate thinks he has to solve a simple problem out returning Mordred and the nine souls he stole to hell. Not so fast. When has anything ever been simple for Nate Temple? Fortunately, he has plenty of friends and allies in his corner. In fact, that was one of the things that I enjoyed most about this book, watching how all of the people Nate gathered around himself in the earlier books working together. We don't see all of Nate's friends in this story, but enough of them are involved that it really adds to the camaraderie. Of course, there are more questions than answers at the end. So, now I'm eagerly awaiting the next book!

Twists and Turns
A straight read through, worth not sleeping! Nate finally gets some answers (& a lot more questions). I loved seeing the growth of Alex, and his relationship with Nate. While this is book 10, it's also part of a 3 book arc according to the author, so it wasn't completely surprising how things stand with Mordred. However, I NEVER expected the twist in the last few chapters (nope, not spoiling it).
Waiting until end of year for the next Nate book is going to be torture. At least we get Callie's next book soon. Her world overlaps with Nate's. I have a sneak suspicion they are going to overlap even more before the All-war happens.

Excellent Story!
This one is Epic! Through the series we've watched Nate grow from an arrogant, trust fund, pain in the rear, to someone much more mature, even if still a bit arrogant - he kinda has to be when dealing with these monsters, legends, myths, gods and general Evil do'ers!
Some long standing questions are answered and new ones are presented...
Absolutely love the Easter Eggs and Rabbit Holes that Shayne leaves for us through-out the book!
Be prepared to laugh out loud, cry a bit, and be taken by the seat of your britches and hurled onto this roller-coaster adventure!

Some long standing questions are answered and new ones are presented...
Absolutely love the Easter Eggs and Rabbit Holes that Shayne leaves for us through-out the book!

Those that have followed Nate Temple's adventures up to this point know what to expect. A supernatural baddie gets released on St Louis, and Nate and his buddies join forces to fight the good fight. Along the way, there is snarkiness, jokes, and maybe some hints as to Nate's mysterious past. This book has all of that and more. Nate has released a big baddie from the Underworld, and allowed said baddie to become super-powered with some of the souls that said baddie stole on his way out. Now Anubis has given Nate an offer he can't refuse. Defeat the escapee, or else. Nate will need to employ every trick, device, friend and ability that he has to pull this one off. Will it be enough?

Honestly how do you follow up on a trip to Hell? Well, if you are Nate, you take on a magical being that terrifies people older, and seemingly more powerful, than he is. All you have to do is be clever enough. This book pulls Quinn's world, Callie, and Nate together beautifully. And the emotional rollercoaster of a man, who wasn't a father from the birth of a child, realizing it doesn't matter a fig. He would die, or kill, to protect the child that is nevertheless his. Excitement, drama, family love, romantic love, and a friendship - or two- that goes beyond the boundaries of blood. My heart was in my throat from the action, drama, and emotions rampant in this marvelous novel.

Horseman: A Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller- Book 10
Another masterpiece by Shayne Silvers!! This story keeps you glued to Nate's crazy life from start to finish. Most all his old friends show up as well as a new enemy! This new nasty wants to take over St. Louis and even the world. Nate is between a rock and a hard place and must fight for not only his life, but those of his friends and his city. Great drama, fighting, dying, humor throughout and lots of unsettled problems and issues at the end. Love the Horsemen and I'm still waiting for Callie and Nate to let their feelings blossom! Can't wait for book #11 "LEGEND" later this year.

Outstanding
I absolutely loved this book. Don't get me wrong I've enjoyed this series a lot, but this was my favorite book in the series by a lot. I guess I've just really liked the idea of the horseman and of Hate becoming a horseman. In fact I wish Shane would branch this series out starting a horseman series like he branches out and started both a Callie Series and Quinn Series. Both of which I also like very much, but I think a horseman series would just be incredible. That being said I'm looking forward to Sinner, Callies next book, and then when Legend comes out in December. Keep up the strong writing Shayne!

This is why I can't sleep at night.
Mr. Shayne Silvers is a conniving, tricky, wonderful, asshole. The story picks up once more, with flawless synchronization between multiple series and threads to make a tapestry of wonder and fable, the likes of which I haven't encountered before. Read this book, but be warned that you will want to read every other book in all of his series over again to see all of the intricate and seemingly random hints that had been left along the way to where we are now. Grab your scotch and a comfy chair, it's a long tale.

Shayne Silvers is an epic storyteller in s class by himself. His “Temple-verse” of Nate Temple Supernatural Thrillers is an astounding achievement both because each book is so wonderful and because it’s just amazing that the author can somehow keep up the pace. So now we have “Horseman: A Nate Temple Supernatural Thriller Book 10 (The Temple Chronicles)”. I’m not going to summarize this book, as the publisher did a perfectly good enough job of it. I will instead simply note that the legions of Temple fans will love this tale as it has all the chewy snarky goodness and excitement of his prior books. For newcomers, while I still urge starting at book 1, there’s enough of a reset of things that this is a pretty good fallback for a starting point. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - the book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next book in this series.
