Breaking Grimm

by E.R. Brookes

Forced to bury their heartbreak and loss, Ember and Evadne prepare to leave for the Moores. But when unusually horrific nightmares plague Ember, and Evadne is attacked, they sense a deeply sinister force at work. Someone is pulling the strings to drag them down a darker path. Their quest to save Faye could be doomed from the start, luring them into an elaborate trap.



Meanwhile, desperate to escape, Faye has devised a dangerous ruse to get out of Jeremiah's compound. When things go horribly wrong, Ronan finally reveals the painful truth that binds their fates. As they endure Jeremiah's growing madness, will Faye allow his revelation to drive them apart, or will it strengthen their fragile alliance in the midst of the rising storm?

About the author

I happily live in Kansas with my wonderful husband and snuggle-pup, (who is most definitely spoiled,) and spend the long winter months trying to figure out how to fill my yard with flowers so I never have to mow again. When I'm not working with my beloved elderly clients, I'm turning blood into ink, talking to people who don't exist, creating entire worlds and spending way too much time plotting how to cause the most pain with my stories—all while making a general nuisance of myself and eating far too many cookies…(which isn't actually possible, because there's no such thing as too many cookies.) My existence is dependent on Jesus, copious and questionable amounts of magic bean juice, and grace, while I rearrange all 26 letters of the alphabet (under a pen-name) and gleefully use semi-colons liberally and incorrectly. (Thank goodness I have an amazing editor.) Often I compare myself to a horrible goose or a crow—for I hold a great secret desire to chase people around while screeching as I collect shiny things.

Thank you so much for taking an interest in me and my baby, it means the world to me. I've held this dream close to my heart for as long as I can remember and I am both thrilled and terrified to be putting the first book out into the world.

If you liked Kidnapping Grimm, you are going to absolutely love Breaking Grimm! The moment I started reading I felt as if I was right there with Ember, Evadne, and Faye. I literally could feel what they felt and see what they were seeing. This book keeps you guessing. You think you know what is going to happen, then things change sending your thoughts to a different conclusion. You feel love, hate, anger, and sorrow for the characters. As you read you are on your seat with anticipation, just waiting for what is to come next. You do need to read the first book to get the history on the story before starting with this one. E.R. Brookes is an amazing writer and an absolutely amazing young lady. I can’t wait to read the third book in this series.

This book was amazing! The first book was good, but this one left me speechless!! So many twists and turns and surprises. The characters develop and bonds are made. I found myself rooting for characters I hadn’t yet come to like in the first book and felt their pain and heartbreak. (Cough: Artemis 🥰) This is a darker read than many ya books but it deals with some deeper issues than most do as well; deep depression, loss, fear of life, sacrifice, but also strength, family, working through problems, and love isn’t always straightforward and simple. Life can be hard and complicated and this books handles them all so beautifully! Cannot recommend enough.
