Break the Glass

Rate this book
Precious mortals think I’m nothing more than a scary story around the campfire.

But when a delicious mortal such as this one stands before the mirror with my name on his tongue, I can’t help myself.

One night to play. One night to please.

Go ahead, pretty one. It only takes three times.

Say my name.

I’ll make you mine.

Damon Blackwater is a demon hunter by night and day. He’s searched for this kill longer than any other. Scarlet Mary. She’s the demon he’d been obsessed with since his childhood, the one that has always eluded him. But this time, he’s found her. She is his to finally destroy. But once he meets her, her seductive looks and taunts lead him down a different path. After a night of playing one another, will he be able to kill her as he’d planned? Or will he succumb to her curves and do what no other mortal could—stay alive and set her free.

***Break the Glass is a paranormal erotica novella. Please check TWs at the beginning of the book before diving in***

Finally a good reading, after several average ones...
Although, a short one, but it's well worth reading.

This was my second novella from Jack Whitney and it did not disappointed me at all

Erotica, smutty, dark and very spooky novella with lots of spice -and it had a plot a very good one.

Scarlet Mary is a demon trapped inside a mirror she is summoned by a professional demon hunter 😏. When she is summoned they play...alot😂 I loved this novella. Really wish it wasn't just novella instead little longer.

The epilogue was the best.😉

"Haveanly gods...Bless me, for I have sinned. Forgive me, for the night is dark, the light is gone and she is the scarlet glow leading me to dawn. Let my tongue lead her to salvation...let her taste feed my greed...for I am just a hungry boy, knelt before a Goddess. Bless me to do as she wishes. Bless this night... bless this feast. AMEN"-- I'M DEAD

A Scarlet Mary retelling and she’s been trapped by a demon hunter, Damon, THAT CAME TO KILL HER.

Screaming bc this was way too good! It was so well written damn.

Damon was so hot and Oml Mary was hotter. She had him by the balls and she knew it.

The smut was the plot and it was great!
Loved it.

I didn't expect it to be that good. This novella has great potential to be a book, like seriously, if the author decided to continue it, I would totally read it and definitely love it.

You might be thinking, now Brittany how the hell are you giving a Novella that’s 65 pages five stars… and I’m simply going to tell you that it was the perfect little five star snack.🤷🏼‍♀️ Some books just strike my mood perfectly and that’s what happened here.

It was exactly what I signed up for and the spice was absolutely delicious…like exquisite!! SO FUCKING HOT.

Demon X demon hunter except she’s the demon and she is a dominant queen.💅🏻

When she whipped out those shadows and knew exactly how to use them I was feral. The back-and-forth power dynamic had me in a chokehold.

This was the perfect Halloween read, I loved the writing style and I’m definitely gonna check out other books by this author. It wasn’t as scary as I was anticipating, because I’m not going to lie bloody Mary really does freak me out😅. There was a Bloody Mary episode of supernatural that gave me nightmares lmao.

So I was pleasantly surprised when my ass was highlighting left and right. I had a blast, this baby hit the spot …fucking SUE MEEEE.😂😅

Scarlet Mary, a demon relegated to a mirror in an abandoned mansion is summoned by a proficient demon hunter.

Damon knows better than to let the demons play mind games. Despite this, he is bewitched by Mary.

This smexy take on the Bloody Mary story is the perfect October read with its spooky vibes and hottttt scenes. An unlikely duo, Damon and Mary will have you invested in their HEA!

“F*ck me like you hate me, hunter.”

This is a smutty Bloody Mary novella about a demon Hunter having some fun sexy times with the hot AF demon he plans to kill.

And man oh man, Mary was a HOT dom. I definitely recommend it ;)

🌿 BOOK REVIEW 🌿

Searching for a paranormal and smutty fast-paced novella that will have you hot and bothered all over? Look no further. Break the Glass is a fine mashup between a retelling of Bloody Mary and—in my fair and humble opinion—Supernatural. Now, I know Jack didn’t take any character inspiration from it but what with all the demon hunter storyline and Mary being a succubus how could I not be reminded of that series? Either way, it was incredible and very satisfying in all the ways that mattered.

I will say that I think it’s more of short story than a novella—at least that’s how I read it. Not that I counted the words, which is really the only difference between the two. ALAS. I loved it. I loved the connection and tension between Damon and Mary, the thriller component, the deal, everything. And whether it is or isn’t a short story or novella, I sure as hell—got it? Because Bloody Mary?—hope that Jack someday eventually maybe decides to expand the story. Because I am curious to read about their adventures and I think it really has the potential to be a longer book.

Anyways—short but sweet review. Dual narration from first person perspective. Smut heavy with a fascinating storyline with the potential to expand on it. Dark, demonic and depraved. What better novella for all of you Halloween loving hearts? Would for sure recommend.

Not me reading bloody Mary smut in december where Mary pegs and dommes.

Not going to lie.
The one hottest paragraph of this book was


“Greedy boy,” I taunted. “Hasn’t anyone ever taught you manners?”
“I have manners,” he said.
“Then I expect you know to pray before you feast,” I replied. My head lifted, and I nodded toward the ground. “On your knees.”

He reached for my calf and began to unzip my boot. “Heavenly gods…” the boot slid off my leg as smooth as his voice. "Bless me, for I have sinned,” he said, moving to my other leg. “Forgive me, for the night is dark, the light is gone, and she is the scarlet glow leading me to dawn. Let my tongue lead her to salvation—” His first lick made me flinch “—let her taste feed my greed—” His tongue stroked my entire pussy before circling my clit again “—for I am just a hungry boy, knelt before a goddess.” He sucked my clit into his mouth, making me moan.
“Bless me to do as she wishes,” he breathed. “Bless this night… Bless this feast… Amen.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 & 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶/5

All hail the QUEEN 👸🏻 Jack Whitney. Is there anything she can’t write? Listen, that’s a rhetorical question. The answer is resounding No, anything she writes will be amazing.

As a reader please make sure you are checking all trigger and content warnings. This is a dark fantasy romance. Not every book is for everyone and that is ok.

This is a spicy AF, the smut is the plot, Halloween erotica novella. I am not giving anything away, you just gotta read it. Be warned that this novella may likely cause blushing, hot flashes, combusting underwear, and cause for extra hydration. Femme Dom, shadow play, breath play, BDSM…. Enough said.

Вері-вері хот сторі 🔥🔥🔥🥵
Мною вже стільки всякої похабщини читано-перечитано, що здивувати важко, особливо у новелі.. але я дуже ціную, коли автору вдається це зробити.. тут авторка-молодець, попрацювала з оригінальністю 🔥
Колись ми в дитинстві також бавилися викликаннями матюкливого гномика та Кривавої Мері.. Ото я уявляю, якби така дамочка явилася 🤭
Опис Мері шикарний.. Візуальна картинка спокуслива і дуже смачна цієї демониці😈🤤 Деймон - ну, класичний гарний мисливець на демонів..
В плані спайсі тут ми маємо світчів в БДСМ елементах, віддаванні контролю та підкорення 🤤 Чисто порнушка, але яка гарна і смачна 🔥
Кайфонула від того, який костюмчик вона створила з тіней 🥵

Обожнюю змістовні новелки, коли такі манюні вміщають в собі все. Це дуже гаряча та хтива історія, я би навіть сказала що це було смачно 😋 Кривава Мері показала себе з іншої розпусної сторони. А чого тільки варті її пустотливі тіні 🤭 Та й мисливець нічого так, але признаємося вона тут найголовніша сексі зірочка книжечки 🔥

*ARC Review* 3.5 stars: Mary...Mary...Mary

Break the Glass is a short, erotic Novella with a kinky, spooky take on the Bloody Mary legend.

Mary has been trapped inside a mirror for decades and gets summoned by a demon hunter named Damon (best hunter name ever, lol). He wants to kill her, but things take a smutty twist...

I think your enjoyment of this will be heavily influenced by whether you like the mentioned kinks, or not. It wasn't all my cup of tea, but I still enjoyed Jack Whitney's writing.

So if you're looking for a quick erotic story with creepy vibes, this might be for you!

🗂Genre: Erotic Romance Novella
🏷Tropes
- Bloody Mary inspired
- Demon x Demon Hunter
- "I came to kill you, but I want to fuck you"
- Kinky & smutty: blood play, spitting, choking, BDSM (femme dom)

⚠️Safety: BDSM, mentions of past assault, mild horror (detailed warnings inside the book), https://www.jackwhitneywriter.com/war...

📖Format: 1st person, dual POV

ARC in exchange of an honest review

This was more like a short story rather than a Novella. But, this ARC read was one of my favorites from Jack Whitney so far! I absolutely loved the spin she made on Bloody Mary…I’m sure we have all heard different versions growing up of this Urban Myth. I thought her execution was great! I thoroughly enjoyed it and actually wished this was sort of set up in a book full of short-stories with different myths/legends. I wanted more. It was fun, sexy, imaginative, and entertaining.

Break the glass is a brilliant example of a novella done right. A short read that didn't feel short at all. On the contrary, it was a wild, fulfilling ride. It promises spice and creepiness and totally delivers.

The writing was great and brought to life the horror elements as well as the chemistry between the characters. The world was built adequately, and the creepy atmosphere sucked me in from the first page.

For an enemies-to-lovers short read, the characters' journey from hate to lust to full-blown passion was narrated perfectly. I really enjoyed them both.
I love female villains, so Mary was such a treat. She is the epitome of badassery. Considering that Damon gives off savage energy, these two make one hell of a couple and I wouldn't object to reading more of them.

Did I like it? Sure did.
Would I read it again? A very creepy yes.

I am obsessed with this Halloween/spooky season, Bloody Mary themed novella!! Jack Whitney never fails to bring the spice!!

Scarlet Mary is trapped in a mirror and can only be released if her name is spoken three times. But when it’s been spoken in the past, blood and terror are left in her wake, until she’s forced back into the mirror at daybreak. But when Damon, a demon hunter, finds the mirror and releases her, things go a little differently than before. His original mission to rid the world of her terror turns into a night of demonic passion.

Make sure to read the trigger warnings, as this novella may not be suitable for everyone. It is recommended for readers 18+ because of its darker nature and erotic themes.

Jack Whitney does not disappoint in this horror erotica novella - a new kink has been activated…two words: shadow pegging 🫠🫠 Break the Glass is a paranormal erotica novella with a dominant Bloody Mary inspired main character. This is definitely a pure fucking smut novella, with some horror elements. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
