REVIEW: Hold Me Like a Breath by Tiffany Schmidt

(Summary from Goodreads). Penelope Landlow has grown up with the knowledge that almost anything can be bought or sold—including body parts. She’s the daughter of one of the three crime families that control the black market for organ transplants.

Penelope’s surrounded by all the suffocating privilege and protection her family can provide, but they can't protect her from the autoimmune disorder that causes her to bruise so easily.

And in her family's line of work no one can be safe forever.

All Penelope has ever wanted is freedom and independence. But when she’s caught in the crossfire as rival families scramble for prominence, she learns that her wishes come with casualties, that betrayal hurts worse than bruises, that love is a risk worth taking . . . and maybe she’s not as fragile as everyone thinks.


I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.

I'm not sure about this book. I liked the beginning and the storyline. I loved the family dynamic that was in this book. It was really interesting… but there was A LOT that happened. I liked that there were different families and the dynamic and interactions between them. It was similar to reading a book like The Elite (how there is different families, leaders, members, and hierarchy). 

I was very intrigued by the beginning. I really wanted to know what else happened with Penny… but after a while there were so many names and things going on that it got kind of confusing. I kept reading because I wanted to know what happened at the end… I'm not really sure if I liked this book as much as I liked Tiffany's other books. 

I just don't think this was my cup of tea. I honestly really liked Penny though. She was a very interesting character and I liked reading about her disorder/illness.

3.5 out of five stars.
