Prepare to hold your breath… Barely Breathing, the third book in the spellbinding Merely Mortal series by NY Times and USA Today bestselling author Michelle M. Pillow! A new first-person POV romantic urban fantasy.

I thought I could finally breathe again. After surviving the labyrinth, I believed I was done with the supernatural chaos that has been tearing my life apart. I was wrong.

The world I’ve fought so hard to escape keeps pulling me back in, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.

Costin, the dangerously irresistible vampire I shouldn’t want, still haunts my thoughts.

Paul, the man I swore I would protect by staying away, is now in more danger than ever.

I don’t know what I’m going to do.

Magic is shifting, enemies are closing in, and I’m starting to realize my mortal bloodline might not be as powerless as I’ve always believed. The truth could destroy everything—my family, my future, and maybe even me.

I’ve faced monsters before, but this time, the greatest threat may be the one I never saw coming. I don’t know who to trust, and if I make the wrong choice, it could cost me everything. The only thing I’m certain of? 

I’m barely breathing. And the worst is yet to come.

Recommended for readers who like Carrie Vaughn, Faith Hunter, Jennifer Estep, Lindsay Buroker, Ilona Andrews, and K.F. Breene.
