If it's by Shayne Silvers, just read it!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 6, 2022

This is part of a series called the Templeverse and one of the best series I've read! They revolve around Nate Temple and 2 other characters have spin off. They are all great but Callie is my fave over Quinn and Nate is the best ever! I read in chronological order so a couple of Nate's, then one or two of Callie's then QuinnThen back to Nate. You won't get bored for one second and you will laugh and cry and love every minute of every book! There's at least 40 of then so start reading and don't read at night or you'll be late the next morning. Impossible to put down!

Quinn Again.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 27, 2022

This one is a slower slogging read than the preceding books. I think it bogs down in Quinn's explorations trying to figure out who and what she should be as a "goddess."

Quinn's still trying to figure out who she is

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 31, 2020

When we last saw Quinn MacKenna at the end of the previous book, Sea Breeze, it looked as if she was about to be dashed to pieces on rocks at the bottom of the ocean between the mythical terrors of Scylla and Charybdis.

Having survived that obstacle, she is now being dragged on her own Odyssey of sorts through the Titan realm to discover who and what she really is.

That’s right – after eight books, she still isn’t sure. Every time she figures a bit of it out, something comes along that indicates everything else she had figured out was really a lie. She gains new powers, only to lose them again the next time she moves to a new realm. Or, the powers she has remain out of her proper control.

This time, she is sent to the island of Circe to supposedly learn how to control her latest set of powers. And, of course, she promptly loses all these powers while attempting to channel her inner goddess. Then it turns out she’s a goddess of Night, but loses her powers during the day.

Circe sends her back to the islands of the Laestrygonians where she must battle the zombies under the control of Jack Frost (formerly Quinn’s friend, Ryan O’Rye) and Dr. Frankenstein. Formerly I had thought that Ryan was the controlling figure of that pair, but it now appears that it may be Frankenstein who’s in charge. During a night of battle, Quinn drives them off, but it seems they have only left to attack from another quarter.

Before returning to Circe, Quinn undergoes a bizarre time trip along with Nate Temple where they revisit key scenes from each other’s lives (important scenes from previous books), and Quinn winds up saving someone important to Nate who had died, while Nate interfered in the events leading to the death of a very important person in Quinn’s life. But did these things really happen? Or was it all an illusion?

The book ends on another major cliffhanger as Quinn tries once more to outwit death in her continuing attempt to save the world and all her friends.

Hurricane is the 9th book of the Phantom Queen Diaries, one of the series in the TempleVerse, a world introduced and created from the mind of Shayne Silvers. Cameron O’Connell, along with Silvers, has written a book that will thrill you at every turn. Mind blogging, funny, and clever; Hurricane is a drink you want to enjoy and savor. I could not put it down.

Hurricane picks up where the book, Sea Breeze, leaves off, with O’Connell vividly describing the worse nightmare Quinn has ever been in. Just reading the first chapter, I knew this would be the best book of the series yet. The writing is brilliant and the imagery is well done. O’Connell, with Silvers’ trademark snark sprinkled in, takes the reader in so many places with so many interesting characters.

The first chapter gives a taste of what was to come and a surprise that was unexpected. Finally, Quinn and Nate Temple are paired off for an adventure unlike no other. There are fireworks and fast dialogue between the two that was so much fun. Go Team Quinn.

I’m looking forward to what is next between our three leads in TempleVerse. The TempleVerse world is a place that a reader can dive into and never want to leave. It will grip your heart and soul, as well as energize your mind and emotions. Both Shayne Silvers and Cameron O’Connell have become my favorite authors easily. They have spoiled me for other writers. It makes you wonder if the “formula” writing common today is killing the literary world, as a friend recently pointed out to me. Thankfully, brilliance is kept alive with Silvers and O’Connell.

Remember the Titans

No really, do you remember the Greek Titans? Visit the enchanting land of the Titans with Quinn MacKenna as your guide. As usual she thinks she knows what she is doing. She gets angry as usual as well when she discovers she really hasn't a clue.
Finally she meets Nate Temple, sort of. It's like the Matrix though. Is it real or ?

Quinn is up to her neck in twists & turns. She needs to stop someone definitely evil & she needs to save a whole bunch of people who are relying on her. Somewhere in this whole affair, she also needs to bond with her inner goddess, yep, just another day in Quinn's life.

Hurricane : Phantom Queen Book 9

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 14, 2020

Quinn MacKenna is still stuck in crazy lands. Giants, witches, Olympians, Jack Frost just to name a few and she even gets to meet up with Nate Temple.
I can’t say I’m a fan of the whole book. Lots of rambling on at times, no where near any real battles like some of the previous books. I guess I miss the original Quinn, the dark arts dealer from Boston.
Quinn just keeps spinning her wheels or floating on boats, but still hasn’t a clue where she is headed or how her own “goddess ness” will change her life and those she cares about.
Now, at the end of this book, she is off once again, not knowing what future lies ahead. Death ..... or will Quinn finally find out what she is, what her true powers are and will she ever be able to go back home to Boston??

Good read.

The third of Hurricane: Phantom Queen Book 9 that Quinn spent with Nate Temple was exceptional. The two thirds she spent in her own hard to get along with state wavered from good to great to barely.

Never have I had such a fantastic bookcation as everything in this series. All 3 together are a grand journey and a wonderfully written escapism...even the corny jokes. Which actually are so well timed, I laugh out loud

Quinn manages to get some answers and even hangs out with Nate Temple randomly in a book that spans realms and time. This one is at turns hilarious and made me feel for the characters. Plus, all kinds of giants show up. On to the next one!
