Break IN: An Ivy Nash Thriller Book 4

Last Updated on August 17, 2023 by ellen

This week has been a challenge so I took an afternoon off to unwind with a book. I rarely take time off from work, but I needed it this week. The book I chose was Break IN: An Ivy Nash Thriller Book 4 by John W Mefford. You’ve probably seen me review quite a few books by John W Mefford on this blog. 

Break IN: An Ivy Nash Thriller Book 4

Even when someone is cloaked by a charming smile and friendly nature, Ivy Nash knows the scent of a predator. Half of her life has been filled with one horrific event after another. Which is why she started ECHO, dedicating her life to rid the world of those who prey on children.

But despite all of her life experiences, nothing can prepare her for the “fun house.” A terror unlike any other. And that’s when she must decide if clinging to life is worth the hell that she will pay.

“Rife with deceit and deception and characters that leap off the page, this story is told with confidence through a sure hand, engaging both the mind and the heart. A compelling treat.” — Steve Berry, New York Times Bestselling Author

“An intense and heart wrenching story that keeps you engaged from beginning to end.”
— Simon Wood, USA TODAY Bestselling Author of DECEPTIVE PRACTICES.

“I love the way that Mefford writes, seamlessly jumping between characters and time frames with no confusion, and he is extremely descriptive of the setting. You almost feel like you are watching a movie instead of reading a book!” — Hilary Mahoney, Elusive Red Tiger

My thoughts:

Ivy had a horrible childhood in the foster care system. Her goal as an adult is to help children in this system that are being abused. She has taken Christina (another victim of the foster care system) under her wing and together, they accept cases to help find missing or endangered children. In Break IN: An Ivy Nash Thriller, she has to find two children who are brothers but kidnapped at different times, and return them to the foster care system. She is sure there is some connection between these kidnappings and is trying to find out who is behind them. When she finally finds out who is behind these horrible crimes, she just may not make it out alive.

I absolutely love the Ivy Nash series. She’s a strong, independent woman who has been through horrible things and still manages to come out on top. The characters in the book mesh together so perfectly that you can really feel like you know them after you read the books. I feel like I’m seeing these stories through Ivy’s eyes as I read. Impossible to put down.
