"Many times, in order to win, you have to learn to learn to lose." - Giorgos ⚜️

30 years ago... when it all began.
6 Families... how are they connected?
How did we get here?
Since when did time start counting down?
How many mistakes did we count? How much blood was shed?
How many secrets were buried at the altar of truth before we reached zero hour?
The prologue of a story whose epilogue has not yet been written.

The past rings your doorbell and if you think you'll be reading the same story you read in the previous 4 books of the series, you are making a BIG mistake!
This book is the encyclopedia of "Breath" and if until now you haven't realized that you're dealing with an epic, believe me, now is the time.

Victim of the case?
Me and you, my little poor reader, who in a story that returns to the past will receive successive twists and strokes once again.
You are not safe. Nothing is safe in this book and learn to hold your breath because you never know what will find you on the next page.

The bond with the characters at this point is now inevitable. You will once again live their intense psychological profile pulsing through your veins and you will get to know them all so well that in the end you will feel like you belong to the small "paranoid" family that "Breath" has created. Choose your role carefully because in the Russian roulette we play, you never know at whose temple the trigger will end up.

Another book, then, where action, adventure, strategy, and twists are at their best, but I've told you all this before and you know it very well. What you don't know and what stands out in this book of the series are the connections.

Favorite Excerpt
“It is the last breath that leaves the mouth of those who die. The word ‘soul’ means ‘to breathe’… I breathe,” he had told her. Since then, he must have stopped breathing, because since then he was dead.

The Butterfly Effect:
“The flap of a butterfly’s wings in Brazil can cause a hurricane in Texas” or in other words… a small decision can drastically change the course of events.
Did Alkis and Danae know this when they met for the first time in Paris in December 2012 and fell in love at first sight?
And boom!!!
Months later they would meet again, she engaged to his uncle, he lost in her memory, but the flap had happened and somehow… somewhere in Brazil… Alkis and Danae fell in love and somehow… somewhere in Texas all the secrets came to light…
Everything started here, but where will it end?

You got fooled again, my little friend, and came here looking for butterflies, flowers, and romances, huh?
Ha! Got you… AGAIN!
And yes, we may start with a stormy and thunderous love but don’t fall into the trap…
Put on your armor, equip yourself, brace yourself and cross yourself because what’s coming you won’t expect.

“Breath” is not a simple story with two protagonists, it is a tangle of actions and events that lead to a big puzzle full of tension, secrets, and twists. Every character here is a protagonist, because every character leaves their own mark on the story, every act has a price and every action causes its own reaction.

What you’ll find here:
Many characters! But don’t be scared, you’ll remember them all one by one because none will be random.
Strong bonds! Romances, friendships, brotherly bonds, all of these of course to the maximum degree.
Do you really love your siblings?
And if yes, how far would you go for them…?

Twists!
Mary Sgourou should exist as an entry next to the word twist in every dictionary of this country as it is one of her greatest assets. Yes, she knows so well how to deal out the shocks where you least expect them…
No surprise! She does it here too.
One after another, girlfriend, they’ll hit you from a certain point on and don’t say I didn’t tell you. “Pop” a Lexotanil, take deep breaths and God be with us because we have 4 more books and this first one was just the introduction…
Welcome madam!
Goodbye madam!

Character psychography!
If there’s something I love in books it’s well-written characters and believe me here even the villain is well-written! (Damn, my luck!) Among a plethora of characters, feel lucky because you have the chance to choose and “click” with whoever you want.
As for me?
It was a one-way street!
Petros my love, come take me away from here

Do I recommend it:
Not to everyone for sure!
Do your research carefully, as here we’re not dealing with an easy read. The book may be a page turner, but it certainly doesn’t let your mind relax and travel to exotic and distant places.
If something smells to you, it's the brain cells I've burned on this book, so I'm telling you, if connections and puzzles give you a headache and not euphoria and enjoyment, then maybe this book is not for you.

WARNING
The book comes with content warnings such as violence and inappropriate language and is recommended for ages over 16.

P.S. I bear no responsibility for your psychological state after this book.
Thank you!
