Fractured
I became accustomed to grief when I was just a little girl. I experienced it, absorbed it, and tried to build a shield around myself, so I would never suffer through it again. But then I lost the one person who I can’t live without, and now my whole world has fallen apart.
He’s dead, and I wish I was too.
There is just one little problem.
Them.
My adopted brother and his childhood best friend.
They've always been my protectors, always looked after me when I needed them most, and always put my needs before theirs. So, despite all of my efforts to let myself drown, they won’t let me.
I thought my heart was fractured beyond repair. However, it turns out you just need someone who is happy to bleed for you as they pick up the broken shards.
Zack Royton and Max Foster were always meant to be mine, I just never imagined they were meant to be each other’s too.
Love is what got us into this mess, and now it’s become the only thing that can get us out of it.
I wanted them when I knew I shouldn’t.
I took them when I knew it was wrong.
And now I need them if I ever hope to survive.
Fractured is a polyamorous romance story, part of the Black Hallows world. It can be read and enjoyed as a standalone, but contains MAJOR spoilers for the rest of the Black Hallows universe.

I am writing this on approximately three hours of sleep because G.N. Wright decided my heart didn't need to be in one piece anymore. I’ve been with Gabby since the beginning, and being on her ARC team is an honor, but also... my therapist might need a word. After Ruthless absolutely destroyed me, I was terrified to start Fractured. I knew it was going to hurt, and I was right. It’s that beautiful, gut-wrenching kind of ache.
While this is technically a standalone, do yourself a favour and read the series. You need the history. You need to understand the weight of these cameos and the history of this family to truly feel the impact of Lily’s healing. I actually did a full reread of the previous five books this week before this hit my inbox, and being back in my favourite world reminded me why Gabby’s writing is so flawless.
HOLY HELL, THE SPICE. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
It is unhinged. There is a specific line near the end that says: “Just because we will worship you, doesn’t mean we won’t punish you as our little slut,” and I’m pretty sure I stopped breathing. The chemistry between Lily, Zack, and Max is explosive. It is raw, it is filthy, and it is exactly what this story needed to show their visceral connection.
Watching Zack struggle with his moral compass and his self-understanding was so incredibly raw. It can't be easy to be in your 30s and realize you aren’t straight—that you are actually deeply in love with your best friend of twenty years AND the girl you’ve spent your life protecting.
Max is the gold standard of protectors. He was there for Lily every single day for a year while she was drowning. He also is so amazingly supportive. And can we talk about his dirty freaking mouth?!
This book isn't driven by outside drama; it’s about healing and getting back up even when you wish you had been buried with them.
"Death is painful, but grief is so much worse.”
Watching Lily cope and learn how to live again after her loss was done amazingly well. The writing is real. Gabby shows the struggle and doesn't shy away from the hardest parts of grief. Watching them all pick up those broken shards together was everything.
Seeing our beloved characters again was the icing on the cake, but I did NOT expect to fall for Jace as hard as I did! His growth after everything he has been through in this series is massive.
I am not ready to be done with these characters. I feel like they are old friends and as we learned in this book, goodbyes are never easy.
Gabby, thank you for this ARC. I’ve already bought my physical copy because this is a permanent "shelf trophy."

Fractured by GN Wright
Infinity ♾️ stars.
I was kindly given this ARC as part of her team and I was beyond thrilled to read the next installment of Black Hallows.
If you haven't read the series, um where have you been?! Stop reading this review and go read it because unfortunately it will contain some spoilers.
You have been warned...
G takes us back to Black Hallows and I was so happy to return, however the previous book ended and it was devastating. Arrow straight to my heart.
Taking place almost a year after the death of the much loved Logan Royton, the family are struggling with their grief and how they are all dealing with it differently. The story mainly revolves around Lily who is/was Logan's twin, Zack, the beautiful Billionaire adopted brother, and Max, Zack's best friend.
I want to state this is a taboo romance, ok, be cool and open minded.
Ahem, It's a battle of desire, grief and unspoken love. It's a bi-sexual awakening, a lot of bi-panic, sexual tension, YEARNING, and extremely spicy. As a MMF rather than a MFM I was rather delighted. If you know me, you will already know this is a bit of me. Throw in the dominant men with disgustingly, filthy mouths... Yes. Dead 🫠 🥵
I'm sure at this moment G is just trying to break us into submission. The tears were flowing and I was an absolute mess (Lincoln and Lily - if you know you know) so mission completed G. I am fully at your mercy.
Thank you G, I have absolutely adored the whole Black Hallows series and I'm hoping maybe, there will be more... Or a next gen? Because nothing would fill me with joy than Asher losing his ever loving shit when it comes to his daughter dating a certain teddy beheading pyromaniac 😏

Review of advance copy received from Author
What a rollercoaster of a goodbye to the Black Hallows series! Seriously, I blubbed, I screamed, and I sweated my way through this book.
Black Hallows fans know going into this that it is going to hurt (iykyk) but because this rich world and these characters have been so utterly gripping and real, we come back on our knees every single time.
It goes without saying that there are massive spoilers for the series going into this one. It is book number 6 in the series. It follows Lily, Max, and Zach one year on from the events of the last instalment, and oh boy, what a mess it is. I was already crying by chapter five.
Mixed amongst all that grief and sadness though, is a beautiful but hard and real story of finding light each day, even if that is just the small and mundane. It shows a journey of hope amongst the pain, plus living and loving in the shadow cast by losing such a foundational person. G.N. Wright absolutely hits the nail on the head with those themes and they a beautifully navigated.
Scattered amongst those heavy moments are absolute shenanigans that had me chuckling aloud. A new fave from the core group arose from their persistent comedic timing. It all added much needed levity to the darkness, something that Wright has excelled at through all her works.
Getting to the point; this is a romance after all. It's a spicy meatball romance. But let’s face it, we boarded the Gabby bus for that exact reason...AND IT SERVES, as always. Thanks to this installment, I have officially added "only one cave" to my list of favourite microtropes. 😏
Infinite stars. Just get on this series immediately and see me after class to compare notes!

I'm going to start this review by saying that if you haven’t read the other 5 books in the Black Hallows series yet, I do strongly encourage you to read them before reading Lily, Zack, and Max‘s story. Not just because it contains spoilers for the rest of the series, especially book 5, but also because the series as a whole is simply amazing.
But let's get into Fractured. I love me a Gabby Bi-Awakening story, and this one did not disappoint! The taboo of Lily and Zack being adopted siblings (no blood relation whatsoever) and combining that with the chemistry and history that Max and Lily have, and Zack having his bi awakening and seeing Max in a different light, just hit different.
Adding to that everything that the characters went through in the last book - I shall not reveal too much in case you haven’t read the books, but let’s just say they are all grieving the same person, someone extremely close and important to all of them, but especially Lily - it was truly heartbreaking and healing to see not just Zack accepting his sexuality and opening himself up to finding love in a frowned upon situation but to also see how all of them deal with their grief and how they start to heal slowly throughout the book. From Lily drowning herself in alcohol and not letting anyone help her for the first year to finally opening herself up to not just her grief and anger but also to her other feelings and the feelings of the people around her, and realising that she is hurting the people around her and herself with the way that she is grieving.
What you can expect from Fractured:
❤️ Bi-Awakening
❤️ Grief
❤️ Best Friends to Lovers
❤️ Adoptive Brother
❤️ Dark Taboo Romance
❤️ MMF
❤️ Brother’s Best Friend
❤️ Grieving Together

Even though this book was an emotional rollercoaster, it felt good to step back into Black Hallows. This will forever be one of my favorite series. After the tragedy in Lincoln's book, it was heartbreaking to see how Lily was doing emotionally and watching her cope with the lost of her twin. Between that and Zachs struggle to mentally deal with certain life altering events that take place throughout the course of this book. She definitely makes you feel all the things.
I loved how everyone comes together and is like one giant family. How they all support and are there for one another. I didnt realize how much I missed these characters until I read this book. Between their personalities and all the interactions together. Of course I was estatic for the parts with Lincoln and Asher (even though they were highly emotional). Those two will forever be my favorites.
Amongst all the heartbreak, the chemistry was off the charts. On top of telling an excellent story, G.N. Wright knows how to incorporate the spice. The scenes between Lily, Max and Zach were 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶. I simply could not get enough.
I felt like this was a good end to a phenomenal series. I'm happy she decided to make their story into a full book and that we finally got a conclusion to the rest of the Roytons with Zach and Lily. Of course I can't forget about Max. He's practically part of the family and now one of my favorites.

Wow! Infinity Stars! ♾️⭐️
I finished this and immediately needed to take a day to collect my thoughts. All good I promise!
I have loved Zack since the first time he appeared on page. He is extremely loyal, takes incredible care of his family and is hot as heck!
Max blew me away, had my jaw on the floor 97% of the book and had me sweating. In control Max is my favorite!
Lily, oh sweet Lily. I kept wanting to reach in the book and hug her. She had every reason to go through her rollercoaster of emotions. She lost her world. Seeing her put herself back together, was so beautiful to read.
Put these three together and you have legit dynamite. I love them soooo much. They are soooo perfect together!
My heart was still soooo broken from everything with Logan. I felt Lily’s pain through the entire book. I cried tears of sadness, tears of happy and tears of relief. Ok more like sobbed. But this book healed my broken heart. Logan forever, never forgotten.
Despite my tears, this was the SPICIEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! I did not expect the spice that Gabby gave us. My brain short circuited multiple times. I think my jaw is still on the floor!
Gabby poured her heart and soul into this series. Thank you for these characters. Thank you for allowing us all to embark on this beautiful journey. Mostly, thank you for the Lily, Asher and Lincoln moments. I wanted and needed these so badly. I loveeee this series so much.

5 ⭐ (would give infinite stars if possible)
GABBY HAS DONE IT AGAIN.
This book made me FEEL and truly relate. As someone who suffered from severe social anxiety, couldn't leave my flat and had to basically relearn just how to live like a normal human... I related so hard to Lily. The way Gabby truly represented how this really feels, the small steps you have to take and how sometimes it doesn't go the way you planned, but you get up and brush yourself off and try again later. I've said it before and I'll say it again, she knows how to write mental health struggles, she makes you feel represented, truly seen. She may have ruined me and made me cry a multitude of tears, but she also put those pieces back together again with little kisses and sweet words (and a hell of a lot of spice). Zack and max both have filthy mouths and together? Holy hell, lily is one lucky woman. I adored seeing zack let his guard down and not be in charge for the first time in his life, he let max lead 🥵🥵
It was so good to go back to Black Hallows, see my girl Elle, my superman Linc (always my favourite) JACE 💕. I'll never forget this series and am blessed to have received this as an advanced reader copy. I urge you all to read this series (actually anything Gabby writes, you won't regret it)

Black Hollows #6
By GN Wright
🖤 MMF Romance
🖤 Stepbrother
🖤 Brother’s best friend
⭐ 5/5
Lily, Max and Zack
This romance is a why choose between a girl, her stepbrother and his best friend. Settled in the world of Black Hollows, we see old acquaintances and how life treats them.
We witness with Lily how she loses her twin brother and what that did to her.
So griefs the loss and spirals. The only one to help her is Max, her brother’s best friend.
Meant to be a distraction from her real desire, her stepbrother Zack.
We see Lily from the worst of grief to back to a life. Max is protecting and supporting her all the way.
And we have Zack, the one who struggles with his feelings the most of the book. His conflicting feelings towards Lily and his confusing moments with his childhood best friend Max.
It took them a lot along the way to a happy end. Overcoming fears. Angst of disappointing the family. What people may think or how they will look at you.
But Zack finally got there and came clean. So did Lily.
Emotional talks, spicy moments and standing up for who you love.
Beautiful happy end.

I'm pretty sure Gabby enjoys collecting our tears, and she got a ton from me with Lily, Max and Zack's story. I was an emotional hot mess while reading their story, but I freaking love, love, love, loved it! I'm a sucker for her stories and always keep coming back for more, heartache and all!
Fractured brings us back to the world of Black Hallows (yes, please!) and I would highly suggest reading that series before jumping into Fractured...because, although it can be read as a standalone, it contains MAJOR spoilers if you haven't, not to mention that Elle King is one of the best FMC's ever written.
I swear I'm not trying to play favorites in this MMF, but Max is moving up in my top book boyfriend list. I literally could not love this story more, it's perfect. It's dark, delicious, heartbreaking, healing and I must have it on my shelf!

It was so good to be back in this world im gutted this is the last time we will be here!! Ugh this one hurt I wasn't expecting to cry In chapter one! You must at least read Ruthless Rebel before as there will be a major spoiler for that book in this and also this one defo won't hit as much if you haven't read that one. Plus it's MM and some MMM so why wouldn't you! I still haven't forgiven Gabby for the events of Ruthless Rebel, but yeh this one hurt alot.
She did make up for it with all the spice we got between the 3 of them it was so hot!! I love Zack & Max! Lillie was so broken and I loved the way they were always there for her despite their own greif. And add it the taboo element of Zack being her adopted brother this was just an enjoyable read despite also making me cry haha. Spice and tears what more could you want from a book.
If you haven't read the black hallows world yet I defo recommend picking them up!

I don’t even know where to begin! I was completely floored by Lily, Max and Zack’s story. I knew this was going to be gut wrenching but a single line took me out! Tears instantly ran down my face. My heart goes out to these characters, especially after everything that happens in the Black Hallows series.. Now let’s talk spice….. It burned through the pages it was so hot. These 3 are definitely top tier! Dare is say, GN Wright’s best spice to date! I am so sad I had to say goodbye to these characters! Read this EPIC finale to the Black Hallows dynasty!

What can I say I love the Black Hallows family and didn't put this one down.
It was nice that there wasn't really any action or any suspense it was just purely the three of them building their relationship and dealing with the emotional trauma of the last book.
I would have liked to have seen a bit more talking about things between them especially Max and Zack as it was such a change from their established relationship.
Overall it was just nice in the end for them to have their happy ending and catch up with everyone else.

Spoiler free review
Fractured is technically a stand alone but it will be better if you read all the Black Hallows books first. Because it takes place after Ruthless Rebel there will be major spoilers if you read this first.
A good chunk of this book I found myself crying more then not cuz Lily’s grief was just so heartbreaking, that I could feel it in my soul. Within the utter devastation this family had suffered is a love story that puts the pieces back together. Even tho I cried my eyes out I loved this book. Loved seeing how Lily, Zach & Max healed each other & found there way to their well deserved HEA
I’m always happy to go back to Black Hallows, I don’t want to say goodbye to these characters but I know we must.

-Adopted brother/sister
-Brother's best friend
-MMF
-Bi-awakening
-A WHOLE LOT of healing (past grief/traumatic event)
I honestly didn't think we could top Ruthless Rebel but I was proven wrong. HIGHLY recommend reading from the beginning. I love Max, Zack, and Lily and am so glad that a book was made to tell their story. It also gave us a look at how everyone else in the Black Hallows universe are growing as well.
If I could rate this series infinite stars I would.

March 28, 2026Wow! What a ride
This book was everything I didn't know I needed. So much grief, loss and love. I adored Lilly's story and having scenes from the OG crew (still love Jace the most).
The spice was heat turned up, give me a fan level.
Taboo and fictionally wonderful..... fingers crossed Cassie/Kennedy and Cash get a next generation spin off! Would love to see Asher handle that trio

This book was perfection. It was the mix of the perfect amount of spice but almost made me sob for like 5 chapters straight.
Gaby’s books never disappoint and she always exceed my expectations.
This book had the perfect pace and I loved how Max’s and Zack’s relationship was explored and how Lily was the perfect mix between them.
I love a good taboo romance alongside brother’s best friend, so this book was right up my alley.
Thank you for the arc!!
