Some monsters don't hunt from the shadows. They hide inside the people you trust.

The Author

Stories That Stay With You After Dark

Kirsten Gale writes thrillers where the familiar turns fatal. Nursery rhymes carry a killer's signature. A snowbound Christmas town holds a secret. Trusted faces wear the wrong smile.

Her novels and anthologies pull readers into psychological warfare, buried family secrets, and the slow, creeping realization that the real danger has been sitting across the dinner table all along.

When Wolves Breathe

Released March 13, 2026

"Some monsters don't hunt from the shadows — they hide inside the people you trust."

As buried secrets claw their way back into the light, Alexis is forced to confront a revelation far more horrifying than the crimes themselves.

When new evidence suggests Nathan's twisted game never truly ended, a chilling pattern emerges. The rhymes were only the beginning. The wolves are still breathing… and they're closer than ever.

Pulled deeper into a web of psychological warfare, betrayal, and carefully orchestrated revenge, Alexis has to decide how far she's willing to go to uncover the full truth — even if it means facing the living ghosts of her past.
