PREORDER NOW AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE! FIRST 4 BOOKS IN THE SERIES RELEASING BY JULY 10, 2018!

Quinn MacKenna learns that the cure for a blinding hangover is simple…

Stay in bed, and whatever you do, don’t answer your freaking door.

Otherwise, you might find yourself roped into a murder investigation with a psychopath attempting to rewrite the Twelve Days of Christmas as a holiday homicide special, asked to rescue a former international spy, forced to dodge bullets with a Valkyrie, or to take on a power-hungry Fae intent on freezing everything he touches.

Hypothetically speaking.

In hindsight, snorting crushed aspirin in a dingy alley would have been the wiser choice…

Especially when Quinn learns the only way to find the answers she seeks is by... sampling some magically-infused, hallucinogenic flowers. And that someone is waiting for her on the other side of her out-of-body experience.

And they've been waiting a very long time...

Welcome the newest antihero in the Worldwide Bestselling Temple Verse by Shayne Silvers. Join Cameron O’Connell and Shayne at the literary bar to sip a dirty cocktail of feisty Irish brogue – with an unhealthy splash of monsters – TODAY!

If you like KF Breene, Shannon Mayer, CN Crawford, Ilona Andrews, or Patricia Briggs, you will LOVE the THIRD installment of the Phantom Queen Diaries.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kevin Hearne, Jim Butcher, K.F. Breene and now Shayne Silvers has been added to my favorite Urban Fantasy Authors list." - Michael Anderle, Amazon Bestselling Author

"Best books I've read in thirty years."
"His intense actions scenes let you see the fangs and claws, hear the gunshots, feel the magic, and smell the fear."
"Shayne could write a grocery list on a dirty napkin and make it an international bestseller."
"All the humor of Deadpool, all the magic of Harry Potter."
"I went from crying my eyes out to laughing uncontrollably, repeatedly."
"This HAS to be picked up by Netflix."
"Publishers who didn't snap up this series are missing out on a gold mine."
"Everything you thought you knew about vampires, shifters, dragons, wizards, fairies and gods is flat wrong."
"I usually see plot twists a mile away. Shayne has proven me wrong. Every time."
"I am astounded as to how the author keeps the story fresh and exciting."
"It's like the characters walked off the page, joined me at the bar, and bought me a drink."
"Shayne deals literary crack, and I'm not ashamed to admit I'm addicted."

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quinn Strikes Again!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    I absolutely love this person and the world with which she surrounds herself. That world was a very small and isolated one aside from business associates. However, since dipping a toe into the world of " Nate Temple and Associates ", the number of both friends and enemies she has accrued is growing at a staggering rate! With regulars being murdered across the country by a supernatural being as well as her friends being kidnapped, Quinn has no choice but to step in and attempt to help law enforcement.... including a newly formed unit of the FBI formed to deal with supernatural beings, all unofficially, of course. As with all if Shane's books ( with a nod to Cameron for adding a large dash of spice to the mix! ), the action and snark is nonstop with never a dull moment. This series continues to be a great read and the small overlap into Templeverse may keep me content until Nate's next book comes out! I continue to be amazed how Shayne can build worlds and characters that are so real and engaging while being totally wild! No pun intended! Shayne Silvers, you are the best and Cameron O' Connell, you did a superb job! Congrats on a great and totally enjoyable read! Now, on to the next in the series!

    Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    So are we making the new adjective "Camerific" or "O'Conellicious"?

    The third foray into Quinn Mackenna's more dubiously principled life and world-sphere draws us deeper into things on the more far-flung end of the Templeverse where apocalyptic events are not in fact a regular Tuesday occurrence, and shows us how flabbergastingly convoluted the life and times of Nate Temple can look from a fresh outside perspective, even one that starts this entry fighting off a hangover from a Vegas bender with both his ex and somewhat precipitously assumed current girlfriend.

    While I'm sure Silvers and O'Connell are laughing maniacally over the groans of their readers now having to wait to hear about that particular story, I'm more of the mind at how efficiently they're managing to juggle the likely well needed prodding to the hero-ego of Nate Temple along with the unfolding revelations that Quinn Mackenna may not in fact be just another obscure but low sitting Fae offspring on the universal roster, but yet another conveniently misplaced child of destiny on the cusp of inheriting or being forced into a role, powers, and responsibilities that should not be in the hands of someone so reliant on hard liquor to get her mental gears in working order. My money is at the moment on something to do with the Morrigan, because where most authors look at subtle foreshadowing as a carefully used scalpel, Silvers looks at like a nail-gun hooked up to an industrial sized air compression tank and a dubiously constructed feed-belt magazine cobbled into the clip.

    The ride is a bit more wild to say the least, and Silvers is of no lost sleep at letting O'Connell run amok in his sandbox, clashing headlong into the longer-standing plot threads between other characters and even seeding and weaving a few new ones of his own into the jumbled mess along the way and he's shown he isn't afraid to drop a few status quo changes the way most authors would pepper in a meal scene or a discussion while driving.

    All in all, I can tell that there are no plans to let the series be something small and unremarkable in comparison to the other series in the Templeverse, and as ever I look forward to what comes along next.

    Do you remember the way you felt when you first began reading a series by someone good, so good that you were amazingly pleased at the prospect of more to come. I don't have to name names....you know exactly the feeling I'm talking about. You've been at the ground floor of something cool as hell and the third installment in the Phantom Queen Series in the beloved Templeverse delivers in spades.
    Our heroine Quinn MacKenna the black magic arms dealer of Boston has multiple problems...(as usual). Which starts with massive hangover from a weekend in Vegas with Othello and Callie Penrose.....but that's another story. More Characters make their debut as well as the Crossover traffic hinted at before. This is an excellent book stronger as it goes and well worth the click. There is a serial killer murdering people to the theme of the 12 Days of Christmas.....missing Werebear and family.....oh and a lot of Fae intrigue. So please avail yourselves of this wonderful book and let Cameron O'Connell and Shayne Silvers do their magic.......

    The third book of the Phantom Queen Diaries series by Shayne Silvers and Cameron O’Connell, Old Fashioned, is my favorite of the series so far. We get to know Quinn better and see how she interacts with others.

    I loved the introduction of all the new "Freaks" and to revisit some of our familiar people, like Jeffries. It was a good tie in with the Nate Temple books with the references of what was currently happening in St. Louis. I love the new friendship that Quinn has with Callie and how "her world" was included (bears in Alaska). I also love that Beckett is back in the story and it will be interesting if Callie will ever forgive him.

    Great story, flowed beautifully, couldn't put it down. I loved Dobby and Eve-can't wait to see what happens with them-and Robin. Personally, I'd love a scene with Carl and Eve. Loved it! Quinn has completed the best trio of Temple-Verse ever found in any imaginary world. Well done, Shayne and Cameron!

    Best of the three so far, story comes together and flows really nicely meaning that the book is one you dont want tp put down.

    Quinn plays detective and teams up with the fbi. characters are really well rounded and more is revealed about who Quinn really is, but in the great tradition of the templeverse you are left with more questions and wanting the next book to find the answers

    Third book in the series. Quinn learns not only that she, and Boston itself, are small specks in the landscape that is the Freak community across Earth and dimensions. Even her Boston acquaintances are more then seem. And the stories from her youth, like Arthurian legends and Jack Frost, aren’t the myths she presumed they were. And her usual snarky, sarcastic nature wins her some enemies as she attempts to ensure a Freak serial killer being chased across country by a division of the FBI staffed by Freaks who realise that, despite how much it hurts their sensibilities, sometimes mortal justice isn’t capable of dealing with Freaks who break mortal law or bring human attention to magic
