Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany Schmidt

You can find out more about what she's looking for here and read some fabulous testimonials from her critique partners here. Tiffany is currently open to submissions world-wide. As she struggles to survive the power plays of rival crime families, she learns dreams come with casualties, betrayal hurts worse than bruises, and there's nothing she won't risk for the people she loves.

No detail is too small to slip past Tiffany she's great about everything from asking insightful world-building questions to pointing out dialogue that doesn't feel quite natural to letting me know when a scene isn't as swoony as it could be. I know this first-hand because she's one of my critique partners, and her feedback on the Cahill Witch Chronicles and on my upcoming novel WILD SWANS has been invaluable.
