Glass Heart

Fans of Beautiful Creatures will fall head over heels for Glass Heart by Amy Garvey, with its blend of breathless suspense, passionate romance, and magic.
 
In Cold Kiss, Wren Darby learned she had powers strong enough to bring her dead boyfriend back to life. She thought she had to keep these powers a secret from everyone, until she met Gabriel, a mind reader who instantly learned her deepest secret.
 
In the sequel, Glass Heart, Wren is torn between her love for Gabriel and the rush of exploring her powers. When Gabriel warns Wren that her powers are getting out of control, Wren begins spending more time with Bay and Fiona, whose magic is wild, exhilarating—and dangerous.
 
And by the time Wren realizes Gabriel was right, she may already have lost him.

Wren can do things that other people can only dream of. Make it snow on a clear, crisp day. Fly through an abandoned tunnel. Bring a paper bird to life.

Wren knows her abilities are tinged with danger—knows how easy it is to lose control—but she can't resist the intoxicating rush. And now that she has Gabriel by her side, someone who knows what she can do—what she has done—she finally feels free to be herself.

But as Wren explores the possibilities of her simmering powers, Gabriel starts pushing her away. Telling her to be careful. Telling her to stop. The more he cautions her, the more determined Wren becomes to prove that she can handle things on her own. And by the time she realizes that Gabriel may be right, it could be too late to bring him back to her side.

“Wren is completely believable and endearing.” - Kirkus Reviews

PRAISE FOR COLD KISS “Fast-paced and achingly real, this fresh tale hints at the danger that lurks beneath Wren’s spell without veering into the macabre. Wren is not a traditional heroine, but her character is ultimately redeemed by her decision to make things right no matter the cost. A provocative romance.” - Kirkus Reviews

“The dialogue and teen situations ring true.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

“Beautiful and haunting. Every page tore me apart—and I loved it.” - Lauren Kate, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fallen and Torment

“A delicate portrayal of first love and loss.” - Publishers Weekly

“Garvey could easily have told a cautionary tale about being careful what you wish for; instead, this a story of the redemption possible in taking responsibility for mistakes and the comfort found in sharing burdens.” - Horn Book Magazine

“Think Steven King’s Pet Sematary—creepy with the emotional impact of first love, complicated by a dead boyfriend and an emerging love triangle. The writing heightens the sense of tragedy and hopelessness and makes us care. While the supernatural elements are an essential hook, it is the pain of first love lost, that longing for the person who is irretrievably gone, that is the crux of Garvey’s gripping first novel for young adults.” - Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

“Fans of Shiver will appreciate the nuanced, more bitter than sweet portrayal of star-crossed supernatural love in this promising debut novel.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
