Break; In
Raine Raleigh is doing her best to get through her mundane, quiet life, never having been one for the spotlight. Keeping to herself and staying invisible are her specialties, and her preference. But when she reunites with the Gerulfs, a family she had been close to as a child, that invisible life quickly gets flipped upside down into a web of the supernatural. The Gerulfs have secrets, each darker than the last. If that wasn’t bad enough, she has her own, in addition to her haunted past lurking over her shoulder.
Damon Gerulf simply wants to be left alone. To work, to keep busy enough to stay out of his own head. He wants nothing to do with his family, or anyone for that matter. When Raine, his little sister’s best friend from years ago, stumbles back into his life, he finds keeping to himself increasingly difficult to do. She has a knack for landing herself in trouble, and there’s something about her that calls to him, to his frustration. She has a pull on him that he can’t ignore.
A storm is brewing, surrounding the Gerulfs. Can Raine uncover their shadows? Can she make sense of the intense feelings she harbors for Damon, her childhood crush? Will her own past catch up to her?
Read Break; In, book one of the Break; series, and buckle in for an intense ride.

This book was fantastic! I could barely put it down. Each and every one of these characters was raw and genuine. The author did an amazing job realistically portraying life after trauma, the importance of human connection, and the nitty-gritty aspects of healing that aren’t often seen in literature today.
This book truly is a love letter to those who have gone through any trauma, and a hope to those who may not know exactly how to share their vulnerabilities with others.
These main characters wrestle with love, loss, and the peculiarities of life while simultaneously juggling their tortured pasts and a web of ghoul-ish mystery.
My main takeaways from Break; In?
- Communication really does open doors.
- Creepy inhumans aren’t always what they seem—and sometimes they’re exactly what they seem (or worse…)
- Sometimes the human psyche is the most terrifying challenge to face.
- Found family ties can absolutely be stronger than blood.
Buckle up, folks! This romance will hit you like a semi-truck.

This book was amazing!!! The characters represented mental health issues faced by some many people and seeing them represented is a great thing for the author to do. Anyone who reads this book and suffers from any mental health issues needs to know that this is the author’s way of saying “You are not alone. I see you and I and others love you and we are here for you.” I cannot recommend this book enough! I cannot wait for the second book to be published! This is a book that will stick with you long after you finish it.

I love to read romance novels, Gothic novels, and supernatural novels. "Break; In" combined all of those in one epic story!
