The Broken king is a story about love, loss, and the ultimate betrayal. It takes you into the life of Colin Dublin, who grows from a teenager to an adult, rising to the pinnacle of a crooked industry that has no limits or rules and is filled with fancy cars, fat wallets, corruption, and greed. Able to make it to the top through his ruthless ways, Colin makes a name for himself. To many, hes the king. His wife, Delilah, and son, Ethan, know him as a loving husband and father. In a business that never sleeps, it is hard to live two completely different life- styles, and its best to keep your family as far away from the drug game as possible. When the money is coming in, its easy to get consumed by greed, not knowing when enough is enough. Colin soon finds out the hard way how easily everything hes worked so hard for can be taken away in the blink of an eye. After being turned on by one of his own and having everything taken away from him, Colin goes after everyone with a vengeance.
This is a wonderfully written first book by Kevin Glendon. Though short in length, there were no superfluous scenes. Everything was absolutely necessary to tell the story. From start to finish, I was completely enraptured and sitting at the edge of my seat. Normally, I could read a book, put it down, and not think about it again. I am still thinking about what the book threw at me. It had me laughing, crying, and everything in between. I look forward to what he has to write next. 5/5
