Glass Heart Savage is a dark, bully romance set in the world of the privileged and depraved that will have you questioning everything you think you know about the boys at the top of the hill.
HAVOC. DECEIT. PRIVILEGE.
The elite come to play on the campus of Glass Heart Academy.
Palmer
My sister was their everything. I’m their nothing.
They waited three hundred and sixty-five days after her … days after her disappearance to acknowledge I’m alive.
Their wicked games should scare me.
Except they don’t know I’m not much different than her.
Marek
Palmer Weston isn’t anything like her sister.
She’s sweet and naive. There are plenty of reasons why I should keep my distance.
Except where’s the fun in that.
I’m a boy who loves his toys and I’ve kept her on the shelf long enough.
It seems someone is determined on giving Palmer the same fate as her sister.
Problem is I’ve never been good at sharing.
Warning: Glass Heart Savage is the first title in Glass Heart Academy Series. This is a series of New Adult/High School titles and recommended for mature readers due to graphic language and sexual content.

Glass house boys – beautiful, malevolent and mysterious. Glass Heart Academy has secrets. Lots of secrets that tease you from the beginning of this incredible story by Lindsey Iler. Coping with mysterious loss of her sister Reed, Palmer Weston plans include keeping her head down, finishing the school year and getting away from Glass Heart Academy. It includes keeping distance from those boys on the hill. Suddenly thrust under the radar of the glass house boys, Palmer’s world is turned upside down. The story takes you on a winding road full of twists and turns. The relationship between Palmer and the boys, Marek, Dixon, Breaker and Byron are incredibly entertaining. Fueled by disgust, hate, and lust, the story kept me on my toes the entire read. The ending was surprising and left me wanting more. Honestly, I could not put it down once I started. Well done!
Holy shit cuz this story is crazy. It’s intense and full of lies and drama and mean boys and one tough, beyond strong heroine who did not allow Marek and company to break her like they tried.
I loved reading as Palmer proved to Marek, Breaker, Byron, Dixon what a badass she is. Lindsey Iler’s take on the high school bully romance isn’t necessarily new, but it is intensely entertaining and interesting and now I can’t wait for the second installment because there’s a doozy of a cliffhanger.
This is my first time reading anything from this author, and I really liked this book. This is the first book in the Glass Heart Academy series, and the story of Marek, and Palmer. Palmer has always been able to hide behind her sister, until she disappeared, and Palmer finds herself in the elite boys sights. This was a great read, the characters are well written, and their story intrigued me, and I can’t wait to read the next book. This was intense, twisted, dark, gritty, raw, emotional, and dramatic.
Glass Heart Savage was a book that had me so intrigued since I saw the cover and read the blurb. Palmer and Marek are two characters that are everything except friends, so when Marek starts showing interest on Palmer it takes her by a surprise.
The only thing I didn’t like about this book was how Palmer caved in so easily, I wish she would’ve set boundaries and said “no” to a certain scene that happened in the book. Other than that, I liked this book a lot. Marek falls for Palmer even when he didn’t expect it, there was a scene towards the end of the book that literally made me cry. I liked this book a lot, I didn’t want it to end. I cannot wait for book two, this is a new series that will leave you wanting more!! I cannot wait for book 2!!! Time needs to go by faster!!
Glass Heart Savage is one of those reads that stays with you long after you finish. It is full of angst, intrigue, rip your heart out heart-break and so much tension. The story focuses on the characters Palmer and Marek. Palmer lost her sister a year ago to suspicious circumstances and right in the middle of that are Marek, Dixon, Breaker and Byron who seemed to have this intense yet strange relationship with Palmer’s sister. Palmer hasn’t been on their radar, after all, she was only the ‘other’ sister. But soon she finds herself thrown into their spotlight and nothing is going to stop them to expose Palmer’s sister’s killer, even if it means using Palmer to do so.
This book was everything you want in a book. It was hot, steamy, scary, intense and every other emotion in between. Palmer is one of those amazingly strong characters who just keeps getting up even when she is pushed down. She doesn’t suffer what the boys are doing and seems to have a lot of power behind her vulnerability. She speaks her mind when it comes to the boys and knows something wasn’t right about her sister’s disappearance.
There are so many twists and turns in Marek and Palmer’s relationship and he is certainly a guy that you love to hate. The things he and his boys due to Palmer are crazy and as a reader you king of get it, but OMG they are messed up! There are some really intense, sexy scenes between Palmer and Marek and even though he tells her not to fall for him or believe what he is saying, Palmer certainly falls down the rabbit hole. Palmer’s relationship with the rest of the boys is also intriguing and disturbing to say the least and you’re always wondering what they are going to do next. There are moments of pure agony in the book when it comes to Paler and what she has gone through, not only with her sisters, but also her parents and social standing that she has in school which in part is due to a lot of influence from the boys!
This is a must-read intense bully romance with so many twist and devious turns. There is a cliff-hanger that will have you shouting at your e-reader in a fit of rage, but boy is it good. This was a really great read and I can’t recommend it enough! You’re just going to have to take the plunge!

I love Lindsey’s work, I was fortunate to read an ARC from a group based on (B.A.N.G.) Book Club an amazing group of readers on Facebook, and I’ve fallen in love ever since. Her You’re to Blame holds a piece of my heart, and I absolutely love her Hand over my Heart Duet. I haven’t had the chance to read her earlier books yet but i’m sure I will love them just as much as I love her current novels.
At the beginning of Glass Heart Savage I hated the boys, I found them to be total pieces of work, But I started falling for Breaker of all the boys lol.
Glass Heart Savage is a dark, new adult bully romance, it’s not my first in this genre but I absolutely loved it. With struggling with this Covid-19 outbreak not a lot of books help my attention long enough to either enjoy them or finish them but this one <3 <3 <3.
It's full of mystery and secrets that kept me turning the pages to know more about the Glass house boys, Marek, Breaker, Dixon and Bryon and of course Palmer.
Palmer is overlooked as the second sister, not only within her family, but also at Glass Heart Academy. Her sister, Reed, popular among the students has been missing now for almost a year, but with no trace and no answers Palmer is left alone.
Marek is the cool, sweet, cruel one of the group. Breaker the joker of the group the goofy friend. Dixon the hacker seems to be the least emotionally involved of the group and then there's Byron the ring leader among the group.
There's so much we learn about these boys, I can't wait to read the rest of the mystery.
I fell in love with Lindsey Iler’s writing when I read Hand Over My Heart Duet and after reading Glass Heart Savage she is now one of my 1-click authors! I loved everything about this book. The heroine, Palmer, is one badass chic who isn’t one to let her guard down and won’t fall into the popular boys trap. That is until they set their sights on her. Marek is determined to find answers about Reed at any costs, what he didn’t expect was to feel anything for their pawn. Byron, Breaker and Dixon are his brothers but loyalties are tested when things change within their group. Can Palmer trust Marek and also fight the chemistry they have? Will Marek walk away as if everything meant nothing? This book is amazing. I devoured it in one sitting and couldn’t put down to save my life. I have so many questions. This book is full of secrets, lies and betrayals and I am chomping at the bits for book two already!! I highly recommend this book!
A very dark, new adult, bully romance. This story is full of mystery and secrets that kept me up in the very, very late hours of the night, but I needed answers to lots of questions which were mostly answered, but the brilliant writer that Lindsey is…this is only book one. GAH!! More is yet to come.
Glass Heart Savage, is brutally savage. This book is not for the faint of heart. It is deeply dark and pushes a lot of boundaries. While I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the game that the main players were moving about on the chess board (yes this my analogy), basically who was playing who, or who was the real bad guy? Within the darkness the mystery of the game kept me turning pages. While this is book one and yes, the mystery does continue into book two, the relationship is still evolving between Marek and Palmer, along with the other members of The Glass House; Breaker, Dixon, and Byron.
Palmer is overlooked as the second sister, not only within her family, but also at Glass Heart Academy. Her sister, Reed, popular among the students has been missing now for almost a year, but with no trace and no answers Palmer is left bereft and alone. With so much time gone it seems strange, but suddenly the attention is shifts to her and she takes it with all the knowledge her sister left her to hopefully find clues, or at least feel a part of what her sister felt before she disappeared. She never expected to fall in so deep, but perhaps that was part of the game.
Marek, Breaker, Dixon, and Byron turn their sights on Palmer. The once invisible sister of Glass Heart Academy. Byron appears to be the ring leader among the group, but only holds a loosely bound leash. Dixon, while a brilliant hacker, seems to be the least emotionally involved, but appearances can be deceiving. Breaker is the jokester, the goofy friend, but is that his true identity? Marek is a true enigma. Cool, sweet, deceptive, cruel. Beware of a Trojan horse and all that it brings.
These students are privileged and mostly bored, there is nothing they won’t do to get what they want. So prepare for a rollercoaster ride like you’ve never experienced before.
OMG this is seriously incredible.
It is deliciously dark and mysterious.
Angst filled and steamy scenes.
All my favourite things.
I was so looking forward to this from Lindsey and she absolutely nailed it. I could not put this down, it had me thoroughly captivated from start to end. I was literally on the edge of my seat.
Each of the main male character’s brought something different to the story. I love all of them but Byron went a little crazy so for me he needs to redeem himself in the next book. But ill probably still love him no matter what, i love dark and crazy.
Palmer underestimates herself many times. I see her as strong straight away and sassy, i love how she is with Marek, Byron, Dixon and Breaker. She manages to handle all four boys up to a certain point and then it gets very serious. This scene blew me away because i was not ecpecting things to go that far.
To say im excited for the next book is an understatement. What will happen next, keeps running through my head. Its gonna drive me crazy.
An absolute must read.
A year after her sister is missing Palmer is suddenly on her sister’s group of friends radar. The secrets of GH begin to undo the elite group of boys that see themselves as family as they begin to keep their own secrets. As Palmer learns some of the secrets Marek, Byron, Breaker, & Dixon are keeping, she finds herself in the center of a bully ring trying to figure out what happened to her sister as the boy decided how to use her. Her game of keep your friends closer and your enemies closer puts her in some compromising position, sometimes with the upper hand, others in the hands of the unknown. Palmer pushes forward after every betrayal that’s bestow upon her finding strength she didn’t know she had.
Lindsay out did herself with this piece of work, she keeps you drawn in with each new discovery that starts in the beginning all the way to the last page!
At the Glass Heart Academy “the Glass House Boys control the social hierarchy on campus and what they say goes”. As one of the four Glass House Boys, Marek Hawthorne, uses his unexpected attraction to Palmer Weston to try to implement their unusual plan.
Just what this plan is is a tad confusing but we are meant to be in the dark. I found the whole book quite confusing at times yet also gripping too, once you start you really need to know what happens. I will say this convoluted story is cleverly crafted.
I liked Marek most of the time because I felt he had more layers than he portrayed and Palmer was someone easy to connect to but then again I also wanted to give her a shake occasionally. Their chemistry was red hot but also damaging too. But you’ll need to read the story to truly understand.
A surprise ending leaves you wondering what’s going to happen in the next book. I have to admit I had an inkling about the way some things would go with some clues that were carefully woven into the story however I did not see the situation with Marek being a possibility.
I look forward to the next book.
Reviewer: Robyn
O M G!!!!!! These boys are a piece of work!!!! Marek makes any other “hero” look like a monk but he’s a hot monk. Palmer wasn’t as weak as people thought she was; she was a baddie. This is so twisted and so good at the same time that you want to throw your kindle but also continue reading. There’s so many people in play and you just don’t know what’s going to come from what end. Marek and Palmer if you want to call it a relationship is so messed up that you don’t know what to believe. But omg its so complicated but oh so damn good!!! The ending and the revelation makes you wonder what in the world is going on!!!!!
Bully romance is my kindle crack and this one most definitely hit the mark, and then some!
Without giving away spoilers, Palmer and Marek’s story sucked me in and didn’t let me go. Intrigue, mystery, the push and pull between or hero and heroine – it was all there. I enjoyed every single minute! I found myself intrigued by all the characters, not just Palmer and Marek, and I can’t wait to read more about them in future books.
Loved it, HIGHLY recommend it, and I’m dying for the next!
The bully genre is fast becoming the ‘it’ genre with alot to choose from and some miss the mark however Lindsey has given is something new a bully story with a twist.
Palmer and Marek are the main characters in this first book but Breaker, Dixon, Byron, and Delaney are major players in this book. As the storyline unfolded I was hooked, it was unexpected, dangerous and addictive reading. Twisted doesn’t begin to describe the intricacies of the story. Every single one of them has secrets and some may be deadly. Just when I thought I knew what was happening boom Lindesy throws a curveball and an ending that just makes me need book two now.
For a crazy wonderful wtf ride!! I’m not one for long reviews but short and simple this is a book you will not want to miss out on!! She’s a new author for new and I’m a sucker for bully romance so I fell in love quickly and have no patience until the next book ugh but I’ll wait for this author!!
Marek and Palmer have a suspenseful story to tell. HOLY HECK I love the end of this book. Yes my mind is completely blown. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
Truthfully, this story took a little longer to get to the heart of everything (see what I did there? Heart? *Hee hee, I know don’t quit my day job) anyway, yes I struggle with slow build stories. In reality, I wasn’t sure I can call this a slow build though, it felt like it was spinning in circles, giving me enough details to keep me craving more. I kept feeling impatient, wanting it to get there faster. *Eek. Yes I am greedy that way. *Eye Roll
This book definitely has the bully romance feel. Ugh to be honest I struggle a bit with that at times if it stays TOO DARK. I need a story to show SOME kindness. I get that it can be a challenge when a book is going to leave you hanging which this one does perfectly. SO MEAN! Haha. I guess if a bully story is done well, you can’t even decide if you like the characters at times. I definitely felt that throughout this book. *Ugh. SO INTENSE!
Plan for “A HELL OF” a cliffhanger. *OMG.
Happy Reading Everyone! *Wink.
This is the 1st on a new series from this talented author, and my word, she has done a fascinating and brilliant job in penning this dank and bully romance story! Palmer just want to finish her last year and leave town, but she is drawn to Marek. Who is one of those heroes that you just want to hate, but cannot help but love him as the story progresses, and Palmer certainly make Marek work for everything. No spoilers: this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written tale which is filled with suspense, twists, secrets, which all lead to a steamy and entertaining read. I was totally enthralled throughout this riveting page turner, and I cannot wait for the 2nd book. I highly recommend for all lovers of a bully romance story.
This book is unlike anything Lindsey has ever written before. It’ll push boundaries. It’s darker than all her other books.
If you are looking for angst, you got it.
If you are looking for hot guys, it’s here too.
If you are looking for broken heroes looking to take someone down, then you’re in the right place.
Marek is tortured and Palmer is trying to find answers.
You’ll hate some characters and others you’ll love. This book is not for everyone and that’s fine.
Glass Heart Savage will forever be a favorite of mine and I recommend it to all who love a good bully.
