Shannon Mayer

Shannon Mayer lives in the southwestern tip of Canada with her husband, son, and numerous animals. When not writing she spends her time staring at immense amounts of rain, herding old people (similar to herding cats) and attempting to stay out of trouble. Especially that last is difficult for her.

She is the USA Today Bestselling author of the The Rylee Adamson Novels, The Elemental Series, The Nevermore Trilogy, A Celtic Legacy series and the Venom Trilogy.

Reviews

The Golden Wolf

The Nix Series

Fury of a Phoenix (#1)
"This story is action packed as well as heart breaking and gut wrenching and does answer a whole lot of questions while tempting the reader with possibilities."

Gizmo's Reviews

"Shannon Mayer is BACK with a brand new urban fantasy series. [FURY OF A PHOENIX] knocked my socks off."

Urban Fantasy Investigations

"I went ahead and jumped into the second book right away because of a cliffhanger regarding the deaths of Nix’s family. If you like Urban Fantasy [...] come meet Dinah and Eleanor and Abe"

K. Bird Lincoln Blog

Blood of a Phoenix (#2)
"Mayer's Nix series is definitely becoming my fave series of hers and I look forward to seeing what happens next for the characters."

Urban Fantasy Investigations

Rise of a Phoenix (#3)
"RISE OF A PHOENIX is full of twists and turns that will leave you both sated and wanting more."

Urban Fantasy Investigations

A Savage Spell (#4)
"Mayer not only continued the Phoenix series but reimagined it."

Whiskey & Wit

A Killing Curse (#5)
"When Shannon Mayer decides to end a series, the author obviously knows no other way than to go out with a BANG!"

Whiskey & Wit

The Alpha Territories

The Honey and Ice Series

A Court of Honey and Ash (#1)
"Do NOT miss starting this series!"

Whiskey & Whit (5/5 stars!)

"A quick read with lots of action, good chemistry between Kallik and Faolan, an awesome best friend in Cinth and a new world to explore. It’s a great start to the series."

Past Midnight

"A wonderful combination of action, wizardry and fantasy."

Go Book Mart

Ivy Touched and Bronze Blade (#5)
"While this book does end on a cliffhanger, I would not let that stop you from reading this series. It is action packed, it has plenty of adventure, some really interesting characters"

Gizmo's Reviews

Shadowspell Academy Series

Shadowspell Academy: The Culling Trials (#1)
“Fantastically written. Well edited. Inventive and fully fleshed […] Narrative flows easily from scene to scene. Humor, wit and danger galore. Humor, wit and danger galore.”

Books and Blurbs

“With SHADOWSPELL ACADEMY, [Shannon Mayer & KF Breene] may just become a household name.”

Best Thrillers

“SHADOWSPELL ACADEMY is one series that will keep you wanting more!”

Whiskey & Wit

“This book sets up a great series.”

The Write Path

“If you are looking for your next new series this is one you don’t want to miss.”

I Smell Sheep

“This book is Harry Potter meets the Hunger Games in a bold twist on a classic magical young adult adventure.”

Jaymin Eve, bestselling author of Supernatural Academy

Shadowspell Academy: Year of the Chameleon (#4)
"Shannon Mayer does Academy books very well – it has action, a little flirtation and romance here and there, a strong heroine who has all the special powers but she learns them, fails at her gifts too but never gives up. There is drama, humor, heartfelt friendship and in this one, some visits from ghosts in Wild’s life. I look forward to seeing what happens next!"

Past Midnight

"Fans might have been dismayed to learn that Year of the Chameleon did not include the epic writing duo of Breene and Mayer – never fear, Shannon Mayer does what she always does… throws down greatness!"

Whiskey & Wit

Shadowspell Academy: Year of the Chameleon (#5)
"If you thought the Culling Trials screamed DANGER! that is nothing compared to outwitting the Shadowkiller and taking on Frost."

Whiskey & Wit

Shadowspell Academy: Year of the Chameleon (#6)
"This entire series is a spectacular study in immersive characters – you see them, experience their emotions, feel pleasure in their accomplishments, and applaud their loyalty! Shadowspell Academy is a series that I hope all my subscribers check out!"
