To do list: Cow-tip the Minotaur. Cure a reptile dysfunction.
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.
Especially when I find out a monster just murdered my parents. Now all I can hear is the sweet, soothing song of vengeance in my ears, playing on repeat.
But when shifter dragons come to town, I’m forced to step away from hunting down the scumbag murderer. Because I know the cure for a reptile dysfunction, and the dragons aren’t going to like it.
This fight soon opens up Pandora’s Box, and suddenly every flavor of supernatural thug is after me. The only way out of it—to save my city—is to murder my best friend.
I didn’t want, ask for, or start any of this. But I will finish it. It’s time I show St. Louis that magic is very, very real. And that an angry wizard is truly something to see—at least once in your life.
You know, right before he puts you and everyone you've ever met in the grave...

I had to think about this one a bit. It left me uneasy for some reason, and I still haven't put my finger on exactly why. I had heard so many people recommend this series that I gave it a chance even when I wasn't wild about it from the beginning.
In any case, I found Nate Temple to be asinine, so I didn't really enjoy reading about him. What's the male equivalent of a Mary Sue? That's Nate. He has money, power, and looks. I cannot imagine any reason a decent person would want to be around him, much less be involved with him, unless they're golddiggers - but Silvers shows women falling at the man's feet. Every time the character's full name came up, the stupid spelling (“Nathin”) annoyed me.
Life is too short to spend it reading things that don't thrill me, so I'm giving up on the series and don't intend to read more of Mr. Silvers' work.
Libertarian Batman and Harry Dresden had a baby and the result is this testosterone addled urban fantasy.
