Marek
Cruelty is my love language, and Palmer's ready to make me pay for it.
We both know we shouldn’t want what’s right in front of us.
Will she accept the dark, broken pieces of me, or will she always watch over her shoulder, waiting for my blade to take pieces of her she doesn’t know are exposed? While we try to find ourselves in each other, darkness continues to follow us, setting off a series of events no one is prepared for.

Glass Heart Broken is book two in the Glass Heart Academy series by Lindsey Iler. This is not a standalone. You must read Glass Heart Savage first in order for this book to make any sense. Told in dual perspectives, this is the conclusion to Marek and Palmer's story. I positively inhaled each and every word in this dark, suspenseful, twisted, sexy and all-consuming tale.

Marek and Palmer are back and still no closer to finding the answers they so desperately seek. What really happened to Reed? Who is targeting Palmer and the other girls? Why are they being targeted? As they race against the clock to solve the mystery, the darkness continues to follow them. Loyalties are tested. Secrets are revealed. Lies are uncovered. Nothing was as it seemed, and they are left shocked to the core.

If you loved Glass Heart Savage, then you are going to love this one even more. It's a fast-paced, thrilling ride that will have your heart racing the whole way through. I'm a little sad that this is the end of Palmer and Marek's story, but I can't wait to see what happens next with the other sexy Glass Heart boys. ALL. OF. THE. DAMN. STARS for Palmer, Marek and Glass Heart Broken!

FIVE BROKEN STARS for Palmer and Marek 💚🖤💚🖤!!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It's been a few months since I read the first book, "Glass Heart Savage" from this series, so I didn't remember all the details about the Palmer and Marek story before reading this book.

But when I started reading it I remembered everything.

Lindsey wrote another amazing book that kept my attention from start until the end.

"Glass Heart Broken" is a dark bully romance with a lot of suspense, twists and turns that make this book so interesting.

Palmer and Marek are two broken souls who make a perfect couple in their imperfection.

If you're looking for a dark bully romance and you also loved "Glass Heart Savage", then this is the book for you!!!

Highly recommended!!!

4.5⭐

What an amazing and intense ride we were on with Marek and Palmer. So many twists and turns. So much mystery. So much lust and chemistry between them. So many questions through out book one and and half of this one. Thankfully, they are were answered by the end of the book. Most of them I didn't even see coming and I loved that! Great conclusion to an amazing story!

I adored Breaker and can't wait to read his story.

***4,5 "Two fucked-up souls!" stars***

AVAILABLE NOW!!!



"A fallen queen's footmen bend at the knee for another."

Holy shit!!! What a twist!!! Well played, Lindsey!!! Well played!!!
To say that i hadn't built my own theories around this book, it will be a blatant lie, but Lindsey proved me wrong over and over again!!!
Honestly, I wasn't expecting some of the things that took place in here and the grand twist left me with my mouth wide open...
Well.... You should definitely read this series!!! Trust me!!!

"You're stronger than this, stronger than us. Don't let us ruin you."

The book picked up exactly from where the first book left us and the pace was fastpaced and you couldn't put the book down... You needed answers and you needed them immediately.
But hell, the things were getting more and more complicated...
What the hell was happening in Glass Heart Academy and to all these girls that were vanishing from time to time???
What had happened to Reed and was she really alive???
Who was after Palmer and who was targeting Marek and why???
Well, I'm not going to tell you, but in here, we got all of our answers and more...

"Explain to me why the only place that I feel safe is in the arms of the creator of my chaos."

"He's always been my flame, and I'm the stupid moth that can't seem to stay away."


Palmer and Marek after the events in the previous book are not in a good place between them...
Marek is determined to prove Palmer wrong, but the truth is that he made huge mistakes in the name of another woman...
But now, someone is after them and Marek is determined to keep Palmer safe, no matter if she wants to be around him or not...
The glass heart boys have much grovelling to do to Palmer if they want her forgiveness after all the shits that they had pull her through...

"I am a monster, Palmer, but if you allow me in, I'll make sure you enjoy every second of my torment."

"It's easy to feel safe with them, even when they're the most dangerous thing in your life."


The only sure thing is that something is shifting around them... Something more solid is forming between them and together they will try to get in the bottom of this sinful and twisted web that they are in the middle of it...
Loyalties will be tested, bonds will start to shake, friendships is about to be ruined and a face from the past can ruin them once and for all...
Palmer and Marek are in the middle of everything and they just trying to keep breathing and to follow their hearts...
What will happen at the end???

"There's evil in this world, and I'm either lying in bed next to it, or it's waiting for me outside of these arms. How do I know who to trust?"

"I'm falling in love with a boy I can't find in me to fully trust. Nothing's more fucked up than that."
"Love can be a little fucked up, can't it?"


For once again, I loved Marek and Palmer... Yes, Marek did unspeakable things in the first book, but his dead heart had started to beat again for Palmer and love is a powerful thing, don't you think???
As for Palmer, everyone underestimated her but she proved to them over and over again that she is stronger than they were giving credit for... And in here, her strength is shining so bright...
But will her feelings for Marek will lead anywhere or they will be proved a huge mistake that will break her heart???

"I warned you not to let me in, that all I'd end up doing is hurting you."
"And you taught me to see beauty in the pain."

"The darkness doesn't scare me."
"It shouldn't. You're the one who invited it into your life."


This was the conclusion of Palmer and Marek's story and i freakin' enjoyed it very much...
Of course, the ending of this book left me with a craving for Breaker's story and honestly, I can not wait for this boy's turn...
I can not wait for all of these boys's turn... I just need more of them...
More of Breaker, more of Dixon and why the hell not??? More of Byron who was the worst of them all...
I'm literally shaking from the anticipation... Bring it on, Lindsey!!!

"We're evil."
"Evil is still capable of love."

When I happened upon Glass Heart Savage, I was RIVETED. How had I not read Lindsey before?! I’ve been anxiously awaiting- and this sequel does NOT disappoint. It delivered everything I wanted and more. I am so obsessed with this series.

Glass Heart Broken picks right back up where our story left off- after the catastrophic climax between Palmer and the four Glass Heart boys- leaving them all battered and bruised, some emotionally, some physically- and the startling revelation at the end of the story. Palmer is left reeling , trying to make sense of all she’s learned, and she’s not sure if she can forgive her tormentors for using her so callously- trying to find her sister’s murdered at the expense of Palmer herself. And that’s the real heart of it, what hurts the most- now what they did but rather the fact that she was so easily sacrificed. Because they love her sister more. And that is Palmer’s cross in this story- trying to figure out these guys, Marek in particular- can truly care for her, and if that will ever compare to how they cared for her sister. All while trying to solve the original mystery of course- who is killing girls at their schools….and what other secrets are at play. And everyone has a secret.

I loved the first book, but this one is even better- you can see Lindsey really settling into these stories and characters. Pacing, character progression, emotional depth, and romantic tension are all even stronger than in the prior book. The suspense is meted perfectly, the drama and angst is addictive, and the characters are even more interesting. Lindsey really lets the character dynamics shine here- more so than in book one, which I think makes for an even more intriguing story. Along the way she introduces a hugely important element, and element that changes everyone’s dynamics. And it is brilliant- not only does it ultimately help progress the mystery in a way that leads to a fantastic denoument, but it also makes for some really clever writing. Because we get to watch everyone unravel, everyone gets exposed, MOST of the secrets come out- and we get to watch them work through it. Facing the hard truths about their relationships with each other- and thus, their relationship with themselves.

Palmer REALLY shines- she grows into herself, embraces her power and stands up for her needs. Even if she still is weak for Marke, and to the other guys as well. Lindsey also smartly gives each guy a crucial role in this story, with Palmer in particular, which helps redeem them some, and helps us understand their motives better. Like the prior book, Marek is still SEXY AF- but here we get more into his heart, more into his baggage, and of all the characters, we see the greatest vulnerability for him- the most emotional openness. And he struggles with some stuff- stuff that he HAS to, and that I was worried about facing (because I myself didn’t want to confront some confused Marek feelings)- but he can’t not decide what the past means for the present. His chemistry with Palmer is scorching and aching- a finely tuned balance of longing and repressed emotions.

The mystery is finally solved- and it was a shocker. The way all the pieces weave together into the finale was pretty brilliant. SO many twists and turns, and now everything makes sense. The Glass Heart world, the Glass Heart boys, and Palmer, are all broken. Broken by challenges we expected, and broken by those that we don’t. Broken by what they have to confront about the mystery, about their relationships, and about themselves. But we discover that their freedom lies in their brokenness- in embracing the cracks, exposing them- not only because it lets them, and you breathe, but because it means you can face them. These characters are broken, but they are not shattered- and they soon learn to find safety, fulfillment, and hope in their scars.

This conclusion was an epic adventure- but even better, an emotional roller coaster. And, while this chapter is done, and one mystery is solved, we’re not done finding out what is next for these Glass Heart men- and I am so ready for Breaker in particular!

Palmer and Marek. Just when you figure out what is right (and what is wrong) with them, Lindsey flips the script and you have to start over. First of all, you must read part 1 of the Glass Heart Academy series or none of this book will fully make sense.

We were left on a monumental cliff hanger (thanks again Lindsey) at the end of book 1. Book two starts with Marek in jail, facing several serious charges. We don't know why Palmer or the other girls are being targeted, we don't know who is targeting them, and the boys, despite being in the "know," truly no NOTHING. So the mystery continues.

We meet some mysterious new characters in book 2, and see another side to not just Marek, but Dixon, Breaker and Byron as well. Loyalties are tested. BIG bombs are dropped and Lindsey leaves us to sit back and watch the carnage unfurl.

The pacing of the story is good. I love that Palmer doesn't just take crap from Marek nor the other boys. They all learn the true meaning of the word loyal in this installment. And once again, the ending left me exhausted yet satisfied... and as always ready for more. I am intrigued by the situations brought to light in this story and what happens with the other characters in regards to the ugly truths of this book.

Lindsey Iler is one of my unicorn authors. Her gift of storytelling, no matter the topic, controversial nature, nor emotion is always compelling and leaves me blown away. This series too, exceeds my expectations. Well done Ms. Iler. Well done.

All the fun I had with this one!

It was the mystery that got me so invested in the story. I couldn't belive what I was reading, The story is shocking, ruthless, mysterios, midblowing, with calculated moves, precise actions and intoxicating writing.

I won't go into the story, I belive you just have to experience it by yourself and with no spoilers.

Trust me, it's so worth it! The truth will shock you.

Palmers and Mariks story is over, and I for one can't wait to read about the other boys!

For a second there I was like whoa...what the hell did I just read? Then I sat back and collected my thoughts. Now that I can actually put together somewhat of a coherent sentence I know without a doubt I just read one of the best books I have read in a while. Damn. The first book was good. Like really good. But this book was so worth the wait. Lindsey Iler brought her “A” game with this one and I loved every minute of it.

“The problem with glass is, one small imperfection, combined with a little friction and movement, can spiderweb outward until there’s no more stability.”

Palmer and her boys are back and how I missed them all. This book picked up right where we left off with that mega cliffhanger at the end of the first book. Something evil, or rather someone evil, is still hiding in the shadows of the Glass Heart Academy and there are still so many questions surrounding what really happened to Reed. Though we do get some answers in this book, I feel like for everything we learned a new mystery popped up. It was like one big fucking onion with never ending layers. But I’m not really complaining one bit. The mystery of what the hell is going on at Glass Heart Academy was one of my favorite things about this story. Of course, I loved the super- hot characters and insane chemistry Palmer and Marek have. But the mystery sort of tied it all together for me.

“You’re a lifetime of good decisions, wrapped in a whole lot of bad ones.”

Marek and Palmer are sort of together and sort of not in this book. I’d say if Marek’s super alpha protectiveness is what we were going off then yes, they were together. Their chemistry was smoking hot but Palmer is still a little stand offish as she should be. I mean after the shit show that went down in the first book, she is trying to figure out how Marek fits into what happened with Reed. Where all the boys fit in and what exactly was their relationship with her. Though we do learn more about all that in this book. Especially when a ghost reappears and things take another twist. So many crazy twists and dark turns in this book. I loved Marek and how he is with Palmer. But I also really wanted to know everything from his time with Reed. I was hoping he loved Palmer the way he put out there, but he needed to earn her trust. I loved how she made him do just that. Sometimes when he kept reminding Palmer that he can indeed be a jackass, I was like enough already...be all in or all out. Palmer as always was kick ass. She really was a force to be reckoned and even when the hits kept coming she refused to be kept down. I wanted them together but part of me also wanted all of them together.

I loved every single second of this book and can not wait for more! I would highly recommend this book to everyone!

The author stated that Glass Heart Broken had been delayed because of COVID and I must say that every single word of this book was worth the wait.

I was immediately pulled back into the Glass Heart Academy world, this book and these characters monopolized my every thought from the first word to the last.

Marek and Palmer are still surrounded by secrets, lies and half-truths but their connection has become electrifying as they carve a deeper part of themselves in each other’s broken hearts. Amidst the chaos of what could have brought anyone to their knees Palmer didn’t let it break her. She still had her caring heart and kept the core of who she was while finding her inner strength that had been buried by others.

It's been a long time since a storyline hypnotized me like Marek, Palmer and the other Glass Heart guys. Getting more insight to all the guys while also knowing each and every one of them is battling matters we have yet to discover. The storyline had me reading as fast as I could, holding my breath as I turned the page to see what cocktail of nerve-racking, spine-tingling moment was about to transpire.


This was beautifully written the emotions of these characters bled through the pages straight into my heart. Glass Heart Broken is unputdownable, epically intense, mind-bending, emotional storyline, intoxicating chemistry, feels and steam. After only 2 books in this series, Glass Heart Academy has become one of my favorites.

A little twisted, a little dark, SO good.

If you like dark high school bully series like me, you'll LOVE this one. NGL, I'm a tad obsessed with Marek and the boys. Even that weirdo, Byron.

Bring on Breaker! 😍😍😍

Glass Heart Broken is book two in the Glass Heart Academy Series and boy is it a fast paced, heart pumping read! We’re back with Marek and Palmer and the epic cliff-hanger that we were left with in the first book. The boys have tried to break Palmer and when that failed, they’ve tried to fold her into their group, but Palmer is stronger than they think and her forgiveness is not going to be easy, especially for the boy who has broken her heart….Marek.

Marek is as cruel as ever in this book, not only does he continually torment Palmer, but he knows that something deeper is going on at the Academy and he will stop at nothing to get the answers, even if that means using Palmer as prey. Marek continues to be haunted by his past which spews out into his present and how he sees and treats people. There is certainly a darkness to him, and he loves nothing better than tying Palmer to him, by whatever means necessary.

There is so much going on in this book, not only with Marek and Palmer, but also secondary characters such as Dixon, Breaker and Byron (I can’t wait for their stories). A lot of secrets are going to come to light in this book and truths about people are going to come out and blow you away.

I don’t want to give too much away with this book, but you must read it, it is just fabulous! The chemistry between Marek and Palmer is hot and page turning. Palmer has sass and vulnerability which make her the perfect female character….she is a queen in her own right. There are some dark twist and turns in this book, everyone is playing a game but it isn’t necessarily the same game.

If you loved the first book, you are going to love this one especially as some questions get answered, but a few questions still have some threads coming off them that you just want to pull. Another favourite of 2020 and an author to put on you TBR lists!

Sequels are so challenging. It's hard to write a book and make sure you put enough information into book one to keep the reader on the edge of their seat, but also leave enough information to fill up a second book.

Lindsey did a fantastic job with book 2 of Glass Heart Academy. I loved it, even more than the first book. Every single question I had after finishing the first book was answered. Everything made sense. She's got everything in place for the rest of the series. It was definitely a home run.

I messaged Lindsey just to tell her how awful one of the characters in the book was. Don't take that the wrong way, but she wrote a fantastic villain. I told her I can't remember the last time I hated someone in a book as much as I hated that character.

I've been in a huge book slump lately. Reading has felt like a chore and I just haven't been into it like I used to be, but Lindsey managed to pull me out of that slump and deliver a fantastic read. I devoured it yesterday in just a few hours.

Book two has everything you loved from book one, and then some. The characters are still just as deliciously bad for you as they were. There's nothing I love more than a good anti-hero. Those boys you shouldn't love, but you're just drawn too. The boys from the glass house are perfectly packaged bad boys.

Palmer and Marek still had that same great sexual chemistry. I actually felt like it was even more so with this book. The way they played with each other's minds and everyone else was twisted, but perfect for them.

I can't wait to see what happens next, and to dive into the other's heads. If you're a sucker for a bad boy with questionable morals these are definitely the books for you.

Mystery, deceit, and who to trust? Glass Heart Broken picks up right where Glass Heart Savage left off. Marek and Palmer are still twisted up in a tale of deception and lies, unsure of how much someone else is pulling the strings or if they are still deceiving each other.

While Palmer may have jumped into a relationship with Marek to try and uncover information about her sister ,Reed, she can't seem to help falling deeper into emotions for the man that may destroy her.  While Marek has shown her the monster that lives inside of him, a monster that calls to the darker side of her, he also has a softer side that he doesn't show anyone but her. The only problem, she doesn't know if it's an act or something real.

Marek can admit he's played wicked games with Palmer in the past, but as his feelings are growing for her he's not sure how he can forgive himself for the the hurt he's caused her. He's also not sure he can just shut off the dark side that lives inside of him, but he's gotten to a point where he craves her and isn't sure how to ever let her go. Before he can ever contemplate a future he has a past he needs to deal with and it has just crash landed on his doorstep and it seems the more he and Palmer try to uncover the mystery surrounding the murders on campus the more they find themselves falling into something more sinister than they ever thought possible. 

A thrilling conclusion of Marek and Palmer's story, but these boys of Glass Heart Academy are just heating up.

After how book one ended I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one and it didn’t disappoint at all! Palmer and Marek are so explosive together that I couldn’t and didn’t want to put this down. I had a few lingering questions that were all put to rest with this one

Holy smokes…Glass Heart Broken is like a wild roller coaster 🎢 ride!! So many twist, turns, ups, downs, emotions, secrets, revelations, and lots of heat 🔥🔥. From start to finish I was so engrossed that I read Glass Heart Broken 💔 in one day. Glass Heart Broken 💔 brought forth so many different emotions and made me laugh, cry, smile, frown, get mad, frustrated, and so many more. All of which keeps readers captivated and wanting more. Lindsey Iler, author, did a fantastic job creating the Glass Heart Academy world and with her characters. Each are described with depth and characteristics that make them easy to fall in love with and empathize with. Glass Heart Broken 💔 is the second book in the Glass Heart Academy Series and is all about Marek and Palmer. This is only the second book I have read from Lindsey and I just know she will soon become a favorite. Next up is Glass Heart Hero with Breaker and Delaney. I can’t wait to start Glass Heart Hero!! I have to say that Lindsey left an authors letter to readers and I am amazed that Lindsey mentions that the Glass Heart Academy was born of a crazy idea that quickly created the Glass Heart Academy world 🌍. Highly recommend Glass Heart Broken (book 2) and Glass Heart Savage (book 1). You (readers) will definitely not regret taking the time to read the Glass Heart Academy Series. Enjoy!! Small warning ⛔️: small triggers of talk of sex assault and some spanking for pleasure with a small amount of pain. If you do have triggers like mentioned above then please heed the warning as this series might not be for you.

I started this when it first released and I was in a massive book slump and I got really mad at myself because I just couldn’t get into it even though I loved Glass Heart Savage. So I waited and until I got back in the groove and I went back to the start and I loved it!! I knew it would it had nothing to do with the actual book.

Marek and Palmers love story was intriguing, intense and kept me on the edge of my seat with so many twists and turns that I didn’t see coming.

This book was a journey and I’m so glad I went back and gave it a second chance. I need Breakers story ASAP!

“You’re so flawed in the most beautiful way that it’s hard not to be proud of the dents and bruises on my soul.”

OH. MY. WOW! Lindsay Iler has created her best masterpiece yet—a page-turning tale that’s perfectly plotted and flawlessly executed! Glass Heart Broken BLEW ME AWAY! This story and series are among the top YA romances I’ve read!!! I was deeply entranced by this roller coaster of a romance—thrust over the emotional edge—where all I could do was clutch my kindle and enjoy the ride. Intoxicating. Intense. Incredible.

Glass Heart Broken is a deliciously dark and destiny-filled saga of a queen surrounded by her kings where the hero and heroine are plagued by demons and a thirst for revenge, as they shine together. A hero who thought he was incapable of love and the heroine who shows him all the adoration. I reveled in the complexity of these characters who have so many layers. There is so much more lurking under the surface of both Marek and Palmer.

Palmer seamlessly balances the world on her shoulders with strength and smarts as she becomes even bolder and more beautiful—inside and out—in this book. Marek is a dark knight battling demons and darkness, but slowly destroys those monsters in the dark and finds the light. I fell even more in love with Marek, Palmer and their beautiful hearts—two broken souls who become whole together.

This book shows the beauty among the broken. Like a shard of glass, Glass Heart Broken glitters and shines, then cuts deep. Between the heart-stopping suspense and full on feels, I could do nothing but surrender to this romance. The smiles ... the swoon ... the smolder ... the shock ... the tears ... so many feels and I felt them all! I was so swept up in this spellbinding saga of secrets, suspense, and soul-squeezing characters. There aren’t enough stars for this story and series!

“I’m a monster, Palmer, but if you allow me in, I’ll make sure you enjoy every second of my torment...”

The second book picks up right where Glass Heart Savage left, Marek was taken for a crime he was not guilty for; the murders of two girls. Palmer doesn’t trust any of them, after the night that changed everything and Marek, Breaker, Dixon and Byron left her she knows there’s no way she can trust any of them. Prepare yourself for some truly off the charts college drama!!!

Palmer is sure she can’t trust Marek, he hasn’t truly given her a reason to, and Marek thought he knew what he wanted from Palmer but nothing prepared him for losing her and now he’s going to do everything to build that trust back and get her back, where she belongs; even if the ghost of her sister is still very present, all the secrets, the lies, the crimes finally come to an end between Marek and Palmer and well it’s time to open up for another couple in the making...what’s next on this series???

The mystery of the whole story is what keeps you on the edge the entire time. All the drama, the push and pull, the chasing is what builds this story.

Glass Heart Broken( Glass Heart Academy# 2) by Lindsey Iler is the conclusion of the mystery. Last book Palmer reveals she believes her sister is not dead but truly alive. Marek has been arrested as a suspect in 2 of the girl. This story was like Alice falling down the rabbit hole. At times I was confused as Palmer was with her feelings regarding the guys. She didn't know how to feel about them especially after the roof. Her confusion regarding how she felt about Marek really had her in a tizzy.  Than like abracadabra Reed pops back up and her explanation for her disappearance is rather sketchy.  To make matters worse Reed's passive aggressive behavior towards Palmer is strange especially since Reed was supposed to be with Byron not Marek.  Than just as quick as Reed appears she disappears. Other strange things start happening. As the group keep trying to solve the disappearances of the girls at the school something very sinister is at hand. Like I said a rabbit hole. Regardless I loved the characters. I wanted to see Palmer and Marek get their Happily ever after. I wanted to know what happened to the other guys. Was definitely thrown for loop by Ms. Reed and who she turned out to be. So looking forward to the next book. I want to catch up with the gang and see what becomes of them all. 4 stars for me.

What in the world!!!! I couldn’t wait for this conclusion I just didn’t expect the unexpected turn of events. Omg talk about mind blowing!!! Marek had to work hard in getting back Palmer. Palmer was always there she just needed some space and time. Her relationship with the others grew in a way that made me smile how they were each other. And her BFF Delaney was just as invested as her. But things happened, secrets were revealed and omg somethings aren’t what they look like. This was soooo good and I can’t wait to see what happens with the others. Marek and Palmer deserved to have their HEA after everything they’ve been thru even if things aren’t as rosy in other situations.

Where do I begin? First and foremost I did enjoy this book. Did I finish it in one, two, or three sitting? No, and I’ll tell you why. I felt that this book was too repetitive, the back and forth between Marek and Palmer got kind of old. The book picks up where book 1 ended and they are still trying to find the people involved with the missing girls. To the public Palmer was treated horrible but behind closed door it was a different story,I feel like it shouldn’t have been dragged out for so long. There where some good twists in the book that I enjoyed. I don’t to give anything away. The author did do a good job of keeping me in the dark with who are the ones behind the kidnappings and terror around the campus. I would recommend this book to others.

"A broken girl loved by a broken boy."

Goodness!! My heart is happy and sad at the same time. This book took me on a journey and I didn't want it to end. So much happening, my head was all over the place.

I held on to every last word on the page trying to understand what was happening.... why it was happening... how will it all play out/end.

It was a whirlwind of emotions, thrilling, heartbreaking, full of angst, surprises and much more... I was whisper cursing at my kindle.... If you read this, you know who I was aiming those words too... lol.

Well written, enjoyable read.

P.S.
I can't wait for more of Breaker. ❤

Lindsey Iler brings you a perfect balance of suspense, romance and full blown angst in Glass Heart Broken. Between the plot twists and the chemistry between Marek and Palmer I couldn’t put this book down.
This book picks up where Glass Heart Savage ended and it has you on the edge from the get go. While there was a moment from probably the 10-25% it stalled just a bit but by around that 25% it makes up for that little dry spell.
I give huge props to Lindsey tho, it’s hard for an author to involve this amount of characters as side characters who eventually become main characters of their own book without one overpowering the other but this series so far has the perfect balance. While this focuses on Marek and Palmer you get just enough feels of the other characters that they don’t feel like side characters at all but they also don’t take the attention off Marek. (Idk if that made any sense but it did in my head 😂)
Anyway. I loved this book and the plot twists are gonna blow your minds and just make you go “WTF just happened?!” Lindsey once again kills it with this book and I’m so ready to see what else she brings us with this world and how else she can torture our hearts!

Woooow! Can I just say that with all the breadcrumbs between book one and most of this one, I did NOT see that coming.

The suspense in this portion of Marek and Palmer's story was what held me glued. I needed answers.

More characters are introduced and there is more development to the side characters in Glass Heart Broken. The ending has me salivating for the next story in this series.

What the what did I just read? My mind is still spinning from all the secrets in this multi-layered plot. Every page led me deeper into this maze of a book and I loved every single second. I am in love with these characters. Even when they were bad, they were so so good. I can't wait for more from this world!

This book is AMAZING! It’s even more twisted than book one and I was so here for it. This series and author is quickly becoming one of my favs. Check this book out ASAP (after reading book one!). You won’t regret it.

I received an advanced copy of the ebook. I’m voluntarily leaving a review.

Ok ok, I'm sitting here completely wrung out...
What the hell was that???
I'll give you one word.... EPIC!!!!!
My god, talk about putting your heart through the ringer!!
It was everything I was hoping for and a lot that I am sitting here slack jawed over. You will not see the twists coming until they slap you in the face (sometimes literally)
I am not ok.
I have never wanted to slap or kill so many people in one book.
This was brilliantly done and I can't wait to see what happens next.
I'm shutting up now before my shell shell shocked brain ruins anything, but do yourself a favour and one click immediately.

Premise was good

I don’t understand the high reviews for both books cos for me this is a whole lot of words... just too convoluted
h was strong but not when it came to the H and the back and forth wasn’t as interesting
I just couldn’t decipher the story from the story
