Originally from the Sacramento Valley, Tory packed up and moved all the way to Southwest Florida in 2004 with her husband (a Florida native) under the premise that ‘hurricanes almost never hit that part of the state.’ That year, 4 blasted the area. 4 more came the following year, and her husband blames her for bringing the hurricanes. She now resides in Jacksonville and is relieved that, thus far, no more hurricanes have followed her around.

She began writing in kindergarten when a turnip wished to be human and, other than a hiatus shortly after getting married, has never stopped. Her love of vampires began somewhere in junior high, and combining the two loves didn’t take long. She loves music, considers herself a ‘book slut’ whose reading h

Review – The Queen’s Dance by Jamie Schmidt (@entangledpub, @jamiekswriter)

The Queen's Dance (The Emerging Queens #3)The Queen’s Dance by Jamie K. Schmidt


My rating: 4 of 5 gargoyles


This is the third book in the Emerging Queens series and when I looked at the back after finishing it, I was delighted to see that there are definitely several more in the process of coming out. Couldn’t get more than minimal details from Ms. Schmidt (i.e., just got confirmation that they were indeed coming out at some point), but the

too many characters

Maybe if you’ve read A LOT of books by this author, you won’t feel drowned by the sheer size of the cast, but I hadn’t and only finished it because I refuse to quit and kept hoping the plot would eventually make the crowd worth it.

Mark Alders
“When he was close enough, he kissed my earlobe and at the same time grabbed my cock, shook it twice, then let it go. He did the same to Callum and Zane. Was this how dragons welcomed each other? Damn. Sure beats a hand shake. Good thing I was naked. I think I would have reacted differently if Devlyn had unzipped my pants and began rummaging around in my underwear just to say hello.”
Mark Alders, Fire of the Heart

Cassandra Clare
“I don't want to be a man," said Jace. "I want to be an angst-ridden teenager who can't confront his own inner demons and takes it out verbally on other people instead."
"Well," said Luke, "you're doing a fantastic job.”
Cassandra Clare, City of Ashes

Cassandra Clare
“And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”
Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

Cassandra Clare
“Jace shook his blond head in exasperation.
"You had to make a crazy jail friend, didn't you? You couldn't just count ceiling tiles or tame a pet mouse like normal prisoners do?”

Mary Simmons It's nice to meet someone with the same interest as myself which is the supernatural culture. Thanks for the friendship. Stay in touch. Mary


PS
If You read Laurell K Hamilton you may want to check out Rusty Nugent Dark Fantasy work. He wrote two heroic werewolf vs evil vampire novels. Very good reads. Do you do book reviews? if so maybe you may do one for my friend Rusty Nugent's Moonwarriros. If not thats ok too.


Maureen Mullis Hi Tory! Thank you for inviting a fellow author into your circle of friends here on Goodreads. I hope you'll add my novels What Would Nancy Do?, In the Company of Women, The Christmas to Remember and Finding Normal to your to-read list. I look forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations. Happy reading!


Savannah Tory, thank you for the friendship.

That's incredibly sweet of you. I didn't know if you'd accept the request, but thank you for doing so. Would love to chat some time. Obviously I'm still young in my career and feedback is very important to me. :)

Cher Thanks for the invite! I really liked your world and the characters in Blood Rage and am looking forward to the next one. I actually prefer UF over PNR anyway. I managed to find your book from Naomi Clark's review and rating. I know you are going to be great!

Harlequin Books Hi Tory, I'm sorry it took a bit to stop by and say thanks for being a friend. I swear my day is over before it properly began! While here, I want you to know that if you ever have any questions about the books on my shelves or about Harlequin.com, Stop by the HB profile and I would be delighted to answer them. Also, I list as much Harlequin news and author news as I can so be sure to watch for my updates.

Happy reading,
Kim S., Harlequin Books ambassador


Kallypso Masters Thanks for the GR friendship! All your Christina Dodd books remind me that I haven't finished the Lost Princesses series. Loved Barefoot Princess, though. (Might have been having that man chained in the basement. )

Happy reading!

Kally
