The Devil's Breath by A. Nybo
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Super fast paced and thrilling!

Henri was living a normal life until he found out he was being stalked and watched and recorded in his own home for over a year. After being abducted and tortured by a psycho and lived through the pain of the trial, Henri has so many emotional and physical scars that keep him from forming any type of relationship. After three years his nightmare returns when he finds a bullet taped to his car door. Frantic, he runs into a cafe and tries to call for help is assisted by Birch.

Birch was just minding his own business, trying to assist a man who was in the middle of an anxiety attack. Now he's stuck in the middle of nightmare where a crazed killer is looking for him in a safe house. But he's more worried about Henri than he is himself. Because he doesn't think Henri can make it through this ordeal again alone.

This was so well written and well done. I couldn't help but cheer on Birch the entire time when he tried his best to comfort Henri. I loved the inner turmoil he felt and how strong he made himself to be what Henri needed him to be. The character formation was just superbly done.

I got so into the story line. So many times with thrillers like this it's easy to get lost, but this was written so well and I was so deep into the characters that I felt like I was there with them.

This was a great, fast paced, thrilling read with romance and humor. Totally recommend.
