Peacebreakers: The Rise and Fall of My Better Half is the first novel by Mindy Mackay.In post-renaissance Europe, a brutal genocide was carried out against mutants, resulting in the decimation of the species. 20 Minutes into the Future a revolutionary faction called the Paralysis has emerge to enact the mutants' revenge. The leader of the revolt, Isabella Sordeno, returns from the dead and leads the stumbling organization on the path to a bloody coup d'etat of Canada.Among Isabella's followers is disillusioned hit-werewolf Kiera Graves, who at first wants nothing more but to drink booze and murder humans for the rest of her days. That's until she falls in love with her comrade, Jackson Solomon, an intellectual "prison-addled" psychopath who is determined to save her from her destructive little self. As she becomes closer and closer to the man who has known misery in its deepest and purest forms, she must reevaluate the way she lives her own life, all the while dealing with a Stalker with a Crush and the species barrier, as relations between mutants and aristocrats are not often tolerated in mutant high society. Just as victory seems imminent, Kiera learns from a local prophetess that Jackson is fated to die at her hands.Readers with weaker stomachs are advised to stand clear.

Wrong Name Outburst: Kiera's boyfriend Kenneth from the first few chapters, after she gets his name wrong twice. (First she tried Evan, and when that wasn't it, she guessed Danny.) Their relationship came to an end within seconds of this.

Nightmare Fetishist: Kiera, in a most literal sense. Not only is she incredibly turned on by the horrific scars Jackson received while being tortured in prison, but she thinks his haunting, traumatizing nightmares are endearing and "cute".

Cold-Blooded Torture: Fleischer and everything that goes on inside it. Like remember the time when Veronika gave Jackson cancer? And then dug it out with a fucking SWITCHBLADE? Or the time she ripped out his kidney? Or her torture of an unconscious Isabella with a Pear of Anguish?

Black and Gray Morality: The Paralysis is a combination of the evils of cult-mania and corporatism, headed up by a sadistic megalomaniac and populated by murderous psychopaths, but since the Scandinavian Confederation as an even more sadistic fiend at its forefront and conducts ruthless experiments on people, it's all OK.

Contrived Coincidence: Chamika and Vance just happened to meet each other after they'd already met in prison. Neither remembered who the other one was, and both still dwelled on their love interest in prison—having no idea they were the same people.
