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.

October is the perfect time to read this Halloween erotica novella.
"Break the Glass is a paranormal erotica novella with a dominant
Bloody Mary inspired main character, the “this is pure fucking smut” trope,
and some horror elements."
5 stars for this Scarlett-haired demon!
(be sure to read the trigger warnings)

Have you ever said "Bloody Mary" three times in a mirror? Well, you're about to meet her.
In this novella, Scarlet Mary is a demon trapped in a mirror until demon hunter Damon makes an appearance. Things don't go to plan and things get spicy fast! Jack, you've done it again with this dark and twisty novella and I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
This is the PERFECT read for spooky season!
