You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed.

If your mind feels loud, relentless, or impossible to shut off — if you replay conversations, brace for the worst, and carry tension you can’t explain — this book offers a calmer, clearer truth:
Anxiety is often a nervous system that has been under constant pressure… not a personal failure.

You’re Not Broken · You’re Overwhelmed blends modern psychology and neuroscience with timeless wisdom from great thinkers to help you understand what’s happening inside you — and gently guide yourself back into balance.

Rather than pushing you to “fix yourself,” this book invites you to slow down, breathe again, and be guided by voices that understood fear, uncertainty, self-doubt, and the weight of being human.

My immortal existence is all shadows and apathy. And then she comes… and her light threatens everything I thought I knew.

Nicolae

I’ve lived so long in the shadows, can you blame me for not giving a rat’s ass about humanity any longer? This lost village in the middle of the Carpathian Mountains is our latest hideout, lest the enemies of our royal bloodline find us again. And by us, I mean me and my five equally psychotic siblings — except, really, two of them are sweet as angels.

Anyway. Da, we’re vampiri. And not the sparkle and vegetarian kind, either. The last thing we should do is attract attention and risk exposing ourselves. But when my sister falls mysteriously ill, the only person who can help her out is the old healer in town. And when he turns up dead? That leaves me with his way-too-stubborn and modern daughter. Very human daughter.

I need Tassa to help my sister, but she’s got questions of her own about her father’s mysterious death, and our presence here. And an attitude to go with said questions, one that’s reminding me what it’s like to feel.

How much can I reveal, without it affecting the rest of us?

How much will she take, before running away screaming?

And how long until I fall head over heels for her?

When she lost her power, she found her strength.

Then a freak accident strips Lina of her psychic ability permanently. Determined to prove she has worth beyond her supernatural gift, she decides to become a real detective and catch the killer the old-fashioned way.
The closer Lina gets to finding the killer, the closer they get to her and her family.
