Abductions rarely go as planned…but this is just ridiculous.
Torn from the Faeling Games on the beaches of Scotland, Quinn MacKenna suddenly finds herself doggie-paddling in a turbulent sea of blood with no land in sight.
And that’s the highlight of her day so far, because her abductors seem perfectly content to simply leave her in this strange Otherworld. Quinn must fight tooth and nail to unearth answers about herself and her place in the worlds of both Man and Fae…even if that means losing herself, first.
Luckily, it seems teeth and nails are all the rage as Quinn teams up with an unlikely guide as a god’s consolation prize. Unfortunately, it turns out man’s best friend can be one damn salty dog.
Debts come due and masks are torn away, and Quinn learns that nothing and no one is as they seemed. That her entire life has been a setup for a much more nefarious game. And the only way to even have a chance at winning is to fetch those broken remnants of her soul.
It’s a dog eat dog world out there…
And this black magic arms dealer likes to bite—when the mood is right.
If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Phantom Queen Diaries or anything else in the Temple Verse.

"I rated Salty Dog book 3.5 stars (rounded up to 4). The story provided some much needed and welcome background on Quinn but more seemed about setting up the story arc for future installments, which makes sense at his juncture in the series; and while the book was engaging, it was a little slow in parts. The absolutely highlight for me was Quinn’s revelation as she learns who she is and specifically; the 3 personalities that make up the Morrigan; I thought the authors did a great job in revealing this to the reader. Quinn clearly has a long way to go and isn’t particularly likeable to me but she’s brave and committed and it will be fascinating to see how Quinn evolves as a character. I also particularly liked being introduced to Cathal and the ending; most interesting indeed (justifying my arc comment above). Very nice work again by the authors."

Salty Dog Phantom Queen Book 7 A Temple Verse Series The Phantom Queen Diaries eBook Shayne Silvers Cameron O'Connell Reviews
- The writing duo of Shayne Silvers and Cameron O'Connell weave their collective magic once again to produce one laugh-aloud, tear-jerker, monster of a story. The journey of self-discovery on which Quinn has been in the previous books culminates in answers in this story. Finally, Quinn knows who and what she is. But knowledge always comes with a price, and Quinn pays it a hundred times over.
This duo knows their business, capturing reader's hearts and minds as they further integrate Quinn's story into the Templeverse. The story is wickedly delightful, with enough twists and turns to capture the imagination of the most ardent of critics. I highly recommend this book and the three interwoven series of the Templeverse. Give yourself a treat and immerse yourself in the pure treat of reading the clever words of this story. - Well O'Connell and Silvers aren't sitting idle in any sense of the word. They've bucked a good bit of their compressed pacing with this installment, instead giving it breathing room to delve deeper into Quinn's character as she deals with being snatched between worlds and dumped not in Fae, but instead the enigma of the Otherworld she'd thought still too far out of her reach. However it quickly becomes not quite Quinn's story, instead seeing a very different woman living a very different life than everything shown in the prior installments.
The juxtaposition between the two is jarringly apparent, yet when it all circles back around to Quinn the similarities fall just as smoothly into place. The insight into her character and how she has changed, in cause of and in some cases despite herself is not as conflicted as in the past, showing a sense of growth that despite the strength of her personality in previous books, has been noticeably absent in some aspects.
Of course that doesn't mean she comes out things cleanly, despite all the answers she's found by the end of her tale here there are still just as many new questions thrust upon her that leave her identity and role just as up in the air as before, if not moreso given what costs those aforementioned answers came at. Triumph and loss are too tightly woven throughout the book to be avoided at its conclusion, and it does leave some other questions in mind for how O'Connell and Silvers aim to tie those threads back together in the future.
The book also narrowly avoided a too well worn love oriented story trope, a decision I am grateful for as a reader but in the same thought also find curious as a writer because the aversion does make some of the latter end story impact falter just a bit, where it feels like it should have been heavier. Whether this is something left intentionally notable for pursuit in the future isn't obvious in the writing itself, so I find myself erring on the side of cautious curiosity as to whether this will be one of said threads tied up further in the grander plot.
Overall this smacks as one of Quinn's strongest showings yet as a character and as foundation to her positioning in the greater span of the Templeverse. As always I look forward to what comes next. - There comes a time when you think you have things figured out, then a storyline does a 180 degree turn and smacks you in the forehead. Salty Dog was an in intense, mind-bending, on-the-edge of your seat book. I enjoyed every minute of it! Quinn is one of my favorite characters as she is strong, interesting, and has more layers than an onion. I love peeling back those layers to see how she reacts and what she'll find out about herself and those around her. To me, she is a complex, dynamic character who continues to surprise. The way Shayne Silvers and Cameron O'Connell weave this intricate story is nothing short of magic!
- Salty Dog is another awesome book by Shayne Silvers and Cameron O’Connell! You never know what to expect in the next adventure and Salty Dog is one of those. It explains so many things but it also makes you have so many new questions. Shayne is a master writer and I absolutely love his work. Salty Dog would be a great addition to any collection. I love the new characters that were introduced and I am so glad that they will be in future books. Sorry no spoilers here! Just buy it already! I purchased my own copy but I am also voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.
