My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isra has done it again. She wrote a beautiful second book and gave us more perspectives of Miss Isra the witch. The ending of book 2 absolutely broke my heart for Astrid. I hope this isn’t the end for these two.

Isra this book grew. She surprised me with how much she got better but still kept true to her dark roots. I got some whiplash from her good choices and bad choices and even sometimes her thought process. I think that’s what made her more relatable. I’m constantly going back and forth between good and bad things.

You definitely see a darker side to Astrid this book. But it raises more questions. What about his past does he not want known?
I can’t wait to read book 3!

Her Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart is the second book in the Blackened series. I recommend reading the first book before this to enjoy the book fully. The story takes us and gives us insight into the past of Lady Isra. There are battles of light and dark and of mortal and immortal. I really enjoyed the new characters and the development of Lady Isra and Astrid. I also enjoyed the development of the ongoing story and am curious as to what will happen as the series progresses. I look forward to reading the next book in this series soon.

What happens when a dark witch falls in love? What happens when her one time friend and former witch comes seeking revenge? Isra is once again about proving that even in the darkness you can find trouble. Astrid is her lover. Once a raven, but now turned into a man with Isra’s dark powers, they share an understanding of each others darkness that makes them perfect for one another. That is, until Everilda shows up. A blast from the past for Isra and not something she’s really looking forward to dealing with, not when she could be doing delicious things with Astrid!
Meanwhile, Isra takes a protege in the form of a young Wiccan named Contessia, and a new servant named Klinq.
Is everything as it appears, or is there more than meets the eye with all the players involved? Will Isra once again know betrayal or will she triumph?
I adored this second book and the love of Isra and Astrid. Thank you for this second novel

Who doesn’t love a story about villainous witches. Book 2 picks up right from the end of book one. If anything i enjoyed this one more than the first. Lady Isra is still in her tower with her lover cloaked with her dark magic away from humans and her enemies, but someone or something manages to get through the enchantment and Isra knows exactly how to manipulate and weave her way out of danger with her sneaky tricks.

Lady Isra opens this book in the arms of Astrid, her lover. He seems to be the touch of light that her dark soul needs. But are his motives as pure they seem?

I liked the voice in this Book 2 better. We get to spend a bit of time as the troll Klinq and with Astrid in his human and raven forms. I enjoyed reading their voices and seeing a bit into what was happening for other characters. Isra has mellowed a touch, and while still hates humans, it is usually circumspectly, from a distance. Everilda is an interesting character, and added some depth to the story. A good tale for Fairy Tale lovers.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book of the five book series Her Dark Spells written by best seller Isra Sravenheart. The book moves quickly through the world of Lady Isra, taking us from all of the settings and scenes in a whirlwind of excitement and rising action. While the ending climax and falling action was very short lived- it did leave me wanting more and wondering just what Isra had in store for the next book. The romance she set between Isra and Astrid in Her Blackened Soul truly came to light and fruition in Her Blackened Heart; and the cliffhanger she left us with at the end of the book definitely has me excited to start book three: Her Blackened Rose!

Her Blackened Heart is book two of The Blackened series. It follows our main character who is the Villain of the story which provides a unique story line unlike any other. Once again Ms. Sravenheart provides great character description and a much more detailed plot. Her Blackened Soul is the first novel and I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue this story but I’m glad I did because book two had so many twists and turns that it left my head spinning. I’m glad that there is still two books to go in this series because I can’t wait to see what Ms. Sravenheart gives us next.

Her Blackened Heart, book two of The Blackened Series, is the continuing story of Lady Isra. Astrid, the raven, which Isra gave a human body, is now in the business of protecting Isra from anyone who would choose to do her harm. He has cloaked her castle from the view of any human. Unfortunately, magical creatures can still see the castle although they are not able to enter. Contessia, a Wiccan witch, is full of good. She comes to the castle to find her gnome friend. Unfortunately, she meets Lady Isra and becomes trapped.

After beginning this series, I found that I enjoyed the story more this time. Pieces of Lady Isra’s past are revealed in this book. It makes Lady Isra a more intriguing character.

Her Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart is my second book by this author and the second book in the Blackened Series. In this book it’s love and light vs the dark. I will always stand by reading the books in order- so, read her blackened soul first. Lady Isra is trying to lead Contessa into the darker side, which is not Contessa’s way. I was interested to see where this book went after the first one. I am curious to see what happens next.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book in the Blackened series by Isra Sravenheart. This book can be read asa standalone, but I recommend you read them in order to understand all of the back story. This story is quite unique as it is told in the POV of the villain, Lady Isra. Astrid, the raven/man servant who is very protective of Lady Isra, is also featured in this book. This book is fast paced and full of action and adventure. It is a story of good versus evil and how there can be a little of both in people. I am thoroughly enjoying this series and can’t wait to see what will happen next.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book in The Blackened Series by Isra Sravenheart. I highly recommend reading the first book in this series if you haven’t already. It’ll give you a better idea of what is going on and help with the characters. I found myself lost in the pages and couldn’t put it down till I finished. The style of writing is unique and keeps your interest. There’s a lot going on but the author did a great job of making it flow so its not so overwhelming The characters are fun and realistic. Lady Isra is back at it and causing problems. Find out what lies ahead for her and Contessa the white witch. I can’t wait to read more from this Author.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book in the Blackened series by Isra Sravenheart. The evil Lady Isra is at it again with her companion and lover, Astrid. Can she lead the good witch Contessia astray? What will Isra do about her enemy Everilda?
As with the first book, I still wish it was written in first-person rather than the narrated third-person. Maybe that’s just personal choice as the story is still interesting and has a twist at the end that definitely came out of left field and was unexpected. Like the first, this story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I’m sure we have not seen the end of Lady Isra yet.

This is the first book that I have read by Ms. Sravenheart and I really enjoyed this story. The characters are amazing and the plot was awesome we have a few twists and turn, revenge, love, deceit, and suspense I cannot wait to read more of this author’s work.

Astrid is a raven turned to a man companion is very protective and deeply in love with Lady Isra. He will do anything to make her happy. Their love is eternal. He has cloaked their home so not a soul can find it.
Lady Isra is a dark witch and a war is coming so when she meets a young girl Contessia she fancies herself having a protege to lead astray. Contessia believes in all that “love and light” stuff. So, will Lady Isra be-able to turn Contessia to the dark side? Can Contessia be lead astray? You will have to red this story to find out….

CI give Her Blackened Heart (Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheart, 4 stars.

I really enjoy this series, and this book just adds to it. It is like reading a dark, adult fairytale. It picks up where book one left off. We see and learn so much more of Astrid in this. We also meet new characters who happen upon the dark castle they call home. They are all wonderful, you never know who is good or bad, or what exactly they are up to. Then there is the story itself. Again, twists and turns leave you guessing the whole way.

If you grew up loving fairy tales, but now root for the evil queen, this book and series is for you. It can be read as a stand alone, but you will understand more if you read book one first.

Her Blackened Heart (The Blackened Series #2) by Isra Sravenheart

This was a great read. Sravenheart knows how to make a reader want more. This Paranormal will leave you wanting more.

Lady Isra is still in her tower cloaked to keep the humans away. When a gnome is caught snooping around she makes him her slave. He’s to be her eyes and ears for the humans. The quote I chose for Lady Isra is: “It sounds like you met the love and light brigade. They preach peace, love, and goodness. Oh, how it makes me want to vomit.”

Astrid, Lady Idea’s lover, is a raven. He can change into human form as that’s what Isra did for him. He wonders if there is something Lady Isra is hiding. The quote I chose for Astrid is: “I do not believe that, for I see love in you. It’s just shut away behind a great big wall that you have built up yourself. But I— am a raven, and ravens can fly over any wall you build, no matter how high or how wide.”

A highly recommend Paranormal read for anyone!

This is the second book in The Blackened Series. It carries on the fantasy adventure of Lady Isra and her Raven lover Astrid. I would recommend reading the first book so you can follow the story and you know the characters. The author does an amazing job of building a fantasy world and the fantasy characters.

In this new book Lady Isra is faced with an old rival in Everilda. Everilda  blames Isra for everything that is wrong in her life including the fact that she has no powers.

With this fight for power going on and Lady Isra trying to persuade a good witch to her dark side there is enough action and adventure in this book to keep you gripped. Can Everilda finally get revenge over Lady Isra? Can Lady Isra convince the good witch to join her or will she get crossed by the good witch?

I continue to be intrigued by the take on a “fairytale” theme that Sravenheart explores in this series. I love the premise of making the “villain” the main character. It creates empathy and understanding otherwise often denied. I love the concept of the story. I found following the story from Astrid’s perspective intriguing. It felt a little disjointed to me a few times but likely because it’s a raven’s point of view. Ha ha. Overall another very enjoyable fantasy read. I look forward to reading more from this author.

Her Blackened Heart (The Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheart. This is the 2nd book in the Blackened Series and its just as good as the 1st. This book will grab you and not let go until you are finished. Its the continuing story of Lady Isra who a very strong witch and is always up to no good. She is trying her best to get Contessia, a good witch, on the dark and narrow path. Lady Isra also has a love interest that may or may not be what they appear. Also added to the fray is a battle with Everlida and she’s a very powerful enemy. I love this book because it is so different from others with the bad guy being the POV. To me it made the story even more interesting and different! Will Contessia convert to the dark side or will she beat Lady Isra at her own game? Read Her Blackened Heart to find out!

Her Blackened Heart by Isra Svravenheart is the second book in the Blackened series. I would recommend reading these books in order as they follow the same characters and the story also follows on.
I thought this was a good follow up to the first book. I still like the fact that we are getting a great fantasy story all told from the POV of the villain. It adds a unique twist to a genre that is jam packed with great stories. I liked how in this book we got to understand Lady Isra a little more. She is given a bit more depth as we discover more about her background and the rivalry she has with Everilda.
The story was well written. The author has developed the story well from the first book and it definitely felt like it was moving forward. The pacing was good as well – always something going on but never too much. This is a great book and a good series overall, it is definitely worth reading.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book in the Blackened Series. I recommend reading the first book to get a foundation for this story.
This book is told in fairy tale style like the first book. I found the detail in some places good, but in other places the story felt like more of a synopsis rather than an experience. I like the originality of the story and I do enjoy the Astrid character.
Overall, I’d say this book was a more enjoyable read than the first one as it had much less repetition in it. I’ll be interested to see what happens in the next installment.

This is a fantasy fairytale series. Isra must battle a mortal witch who is hell bent on revenge. Everilda blames Isra for everything that has gone wrong in her life and will stop at nothing until she destroys her. Read the book to find out how the battle ends.

The author introduces a few more characters in this novel. Each one is unique but unfortunately they are flat once again. The structure and wording of the sentences seem to be written as if English is not the first language of the author. If that’s the case, it’s forgivable. The author is once again repetitive and it’s frustrating reading back to back sentences describing the same thing. I will admit though that this book is better than the first part.

Her Blackened Heart (Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheartis is a dark fairy taleish fantasy paranormal story. Our villainess who is a very dark witch and the story has a bit of everything and the story line is original. Paranormal is my favourite genre so I am a fussy reader when it comes down to it. Did I like this book better than the first? Yeah. Would I recommend it to others? yes because like I said with the first book, just because it didn’t live up to my expectations, does not mean it will not for others.

There is nothing better than an author that keeps the story going with the same characters from the first book into the second book. I find that I am interested in the story more with familiar characters. The world in which Isra Sravenheart has created the world with light and dark fantasy. She has brought Lady Isra who is a powerful witch and Astrid the raven/man companion. Then there is Contessa who is a white power witch. She believes in good magic and love and light. Isra wants to take Contessa in and mentor her. There is some type of light in Contessia that is making Lady Isra opening up to the light some more. Will Cantessia help Lady Isra or will Lady Isra turn Contessia? I highly recommend this story. Make sure you read book 1 before you read this book.

I really enjoy reading The Blackened Series from Isra Sravenheart. Her Blackened Heart is the second book in the series and I would personally recommend that you read the first one before diving into this one to get the whole effect of the story and the characters that are in it. I really loved the dark undertones but the way the author makes you still fall in love with the darkest of characters. In this one Lady Isra is back at her dark and dubious ways in this one. We find her and her raven companion holed up in their fortress and protected by a magic spell. However, things still find a way in and thus end up in the wicked web that Isra so loves to weave. I loved this one and I am even more anxious to get my hands on the next installment. I can’t wait to find out what wicked ways we will find Lady Isra up to next!
