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!

Myths—legends—stories—they all amounted to one thing: half-truths. Through evolution things changed. Revealing false information became a profession trusted only to a select few. Sometimes, however, the unknown preferred anonymity.
The Fawns researched the unusual on a daily basis. That didn’t mean everyone in the family was happy with the lifestyle. Scars came in a number of varieties and Clara Fawn carried them all, visible or not. No one ever questioned them or her before. That was about to change…
Somewhere along the line, moving became as common as Sunday night dinner. Some bites were good, others not quite as palatable. Their new hometown overflowed with strange myths. Not waiting to hear them before entering the woods was the last mistake any of them would make.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.
Depression takes up a lot of my life. Reading and writing are the only things I have found that help (in connection with regular medication), even if only for a short time. To escape to a different world can make a big difference in my mood in real time.
To put things in perspective, when I was at my lowest point, I couldn’t open mail, talk on the phone, or even drive to the store. Walls of sadness surrounded me. As they closed in, tears would fall. There didn’t need to be a reason or trigger.
People ask me why I started writing. My answer is simple: I wanted to create a world into which other people with similar problems could escape. I wanted to share the one place that had helped me for many years.
I have always said that as long as one person finds a little bit of happiness out of my books, I am, in my opinion, an accomplished author. The same is true for every writer out there. Please don’t ever let anyone tell you different.
I read books as well as write them and have visited the worlds many different authors have created. Those worlds not only make me feel better, but give me the strength to face real life again. I want to thank everyone who writes – I want them to know they are making a difference.

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 series just seems to get better and better. This is an epic fantasy read that has you hooked from the very beginning until the end! I highly recommend that you read book 1 first so you get a real feel of the characters and a bit of a back story, but other than that this book follows effortlessly on its own and held me captive the entire read! Its fast-paced, entertaining and epic, it has suspense, action, adventure and twists and turns that have you on the edge of your seat, and leave you wanting more! I can’t wait to read more from this author and can’t wait to see where we are taken next! I highly recommend this read!

Her Blackened Heart (The Blackened Series Book 3) by Isra Sravenheart 3 Stars
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. 3.5 stars

This is an interesting paranormal romance. The characters were well-written, although there were times when the plot was a little slow and it took me a little while to get into the flow of the book. There’s lots of humour and a pretty unique story.

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.

Her Blackened Heart (Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheart. This book was just as good as book one and I do highly recommend reading these in order. The characters draw you into their world and it’s definitely easy to get wrapped up and lost in the pages for a while which I was happy to do. There’s lots going on but the author does a great job of not making it overwhelming to readers. The characters are complex and the storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I love the fast paced world this author has given readers. Can’t wait to see where this series goes next. Four stars and highly recommended.

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!

Shattered Reality (Summoned Book 1) By C.A. King 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the book Shattered Reality (Summoned Book 1) by C.A. King. It is a story that includes magic, mystery, and danger. Once I started reading, I was hooked. I enjoyed reading about the character Mudesa Black. She is a psychiatrist and someone intelligent, independent, and strong. She has now found herself on her way back home, a place that she hasn’t been to in a long time. It is there that she meets Perry P, a private investigator. He is handsome, charming, and has Mudesa taking a second look. Will Mudesa find out the mystery behind her fears? What will she find at her family’s estate? Read this book to find out. This story had me turning pages wondering what was going to happen next. I found the character of Mudesa changing as the story progressed. I was rooting for her to succeed in finding out the mystery she uncovers once returns home. The author has created a wonderful fantasy book in which the story and the characters come alive on the page. Don’t miss out on an exciting and entertaining book that you will not want to put down until the final page. I highly recommend reading it.

King, USA Today Bestselling Author – Review by Laura Furuta
Bake a cake for the Ladies Association meeting? Give her a cold, hard killer to apprehend any day
Newly-minted secret agent Rhett Bishop would rather face down a horde of angry wolf shifters or her father’s former mob contacts than accept her current assignment: pose undercover as a suburban housewife, complete with a husband, slippers, and pipe.
But after the debacle of her previous mission, Rhett has a lot to prove.
To redeem herself in the eyes of Redclaw Security, and to carry out her mission without distractions, she must table her budding relationship with Peter Knight while the two of them uncover the secrets of Forest Grove.
Armed with her trusty ray gun, her unique little dog, and Knight’s brains, Rhett is confident she can handle whatever the suburbs can throw at her.
Until they lob a curveball.
If you like Gini Koch’s “Kitty” Katt alien series, you’ll love Redclaw Origins It’s Bringing up Baby meets WH-13. It’s X-Files meets Leave it to Beaver.
Sequel to Bishop Takes Knight: Named a Top Pick by The Romance Reviews. Awarded a Crowned Heart of Excellence by InD’Tale Magazine. Voted Best Paranormal/SFF Romance in the 2020 New England Reader’s Choice Awards. PRISM Award winner. RONE Award nominee. Finalist in the 2020 Royal Palm Literary Awards.

that is until her whole universe turns upside down.
Anyone who says being a teenager is easy, lies. It’s even worse when seemingly uncontrollable abilities appear out of nowhere. Puberty is one thing, but what her body is doing—no one ever taught in health class.
That is the exact moment Sarah’s life changes forever, or perhaps it’s because of a talking beaver’s demands for waffles and maple syrup. Either way, things are never going to be the same again.
As a new heroine on the horizon, she is bound to make a plethora of mistakes and you can bet your bottom dollar she’ll be Super Sorry for each and every one of them.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression after the loss of my mother, father and husband within three years of each other; all to cancer. 24/7 in-home care, coupled with the loss I felt, left its mark on my psyche.

I loved this book. This is one of my favorites by this author yet. This is a well written story that has characters that bring the story to life. I loved being pulled in right from the beginning. One of the things I love about this author is her ability for attention to details. Not only do they make me feel as if I am right there but also part of the story. This story is about Mudesa. She made a plan to make her way to the top and now that she is there, one phone call could change everything for her. Now she is face to face with the past and a hot detective that may have all the answers. Their twists and turns kept me turning pages. Their story is full of romance and magic that you don’t want to miss. I highly recommend this book and this author.
Her Blackened Heart (The Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheart was a great continuation to the first book. I really enjoyed the story, the perspective felt really original. I love Lady Isra and Astrid, they’re such unique characters. So much happens but it is well organized and easy to follow. I loved all the twists and turns.

This book was told from Astrid, Lady Isra’s loyal raven companion’s point of view. Evilerada is out to get what’s all good about Isra and she won’t stop until she succeeds. This book is packed with action, suspense, very entertaining, and unpredictable. Unbelievable tale of resilience, friendship, and determination: Full of action from each sector. Great read!

Mudesa Black clawed her way to the top, becoming a successful and respected psychiatrist, leaving her estranged family in the dust. The plan was to never look back and she hadn’t until a single phone call changed everything. Trading her physician’s coat for a detective cap, she headed home to meet both fears and destiny head on.
Perry P. worked as a private investigator in Knollville, taking on whatever cases came his way. His latest, and only, client had no issues spending money—just the way he liked it. They were also anonymous—just the way he didn’t like it. Still, the job was easy money. All he needed to do was watch some dame for a few months.
There are mysteries waiting in the aging mansion. Solving them might bring closure to both in ways neither imagined possible.
Shattered Reality is a fantasy retelling of the ancient mythological tale of Perseus and Medusa set in modern times.

The Guard: A Soppranaturale Series: Book 2 by Ashley Pagano. I recommend reading these books in order. This may be on the shorter side but it still packs a punch with a great storyline and great characters. Characters that draw you so completely in that I was happy to be lost in its pages for a while. Each character brings something unique to the storyline and they are so easy to connect with. The storyline is unique in it’s own right and I loved every minute of it. It’s well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Can’t wait to see where this author takes readers next. Four big stars and highly recommended.

This second book may have just surpassed the first – which I didn’t anticipate being possible. Pagano has done a beautiful job continuing this series and making it fresh and exciting. I love Ommily and Link and reading more of their journey with the Soppranaturale. I truthfully don’t want to give anything away because it is just so beautifully written and worth the reading experience. Beautifully done. A must read for all fantasy lovers!

Normally these types of novels don’t peak my interest as I’m more of a romance/erotica kind of girl but this one swayed me I love how magical this storyline is! It is full to the brim of supernatural, magic, danger and sooo much nore! It really did take me on whirlwind adventue which I was eager to sink my teeth into and I’m certainly excited to read more from this author! Also it does have a touch of romance in it too which was a lovely touch it was different to read something with the magical storyline I do highly recommend giving this novel a read!!!

This is the second book in the Soppranaturale series. I highly recommend reading book one to understand the characters and what they have been through already. This story is full of action, adventure, magic, supernatural, and danger. In the first book, we were introduced to Ommilu and Link. They are the last two Fae and their journey has not been an easy one. In this story, they are Guards at the hotel. They are pushed to limits they themselves cannot expect. This is a fast paced story, The pages just fly by and the book can be read in one sitting. You will want to read the whole book to see what happens to Ommilu and Link.

The Guard by Ashley Pagano is the second book in A Soppranaturale Series. First, read the book prior to this one before delving into this book. This book picks up shortly after where the first ended. Ommily and Link are back and have a lot to get through. There is no rest for them in protecting the Soppranaturale Hotel as the two remaining fae. This book takes the reader to a new and interesting world, which keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. I stayed up late into the night to finish this because I had to know what was going to happen. I just couldn’t wait. I enjoy that this is not a straight up fantasy but has a bit of romance, action, and plenty of twists and turns. It was a great way to spend a rainy day. I look forward to reading more from Ashley Pagano in the future.

Her Blackened Heart is the second book in The Blackened Series by Isra Sravenheart. As with the first book, this is quite an original story- again with a bit of a fairytale-esque feel to it. But again, it stands apart from other ‘fairytale’ type stories in that it is all about the ‘villain’. It is a fantasy- full of magic, a powerful dark witch, revenge, power struggles, spells, witches, loves, good vs evil, danger, rivalry, and some adventure. We once again join Lady Isra, a powerful witch- with a bit of a black heart, and Astrid the raven/man, Isra’s loyal companion. But, with other characters to add some intrigue and drama- there’s never a dull moment. And we may just get to discover that even the darkest souls can find the light. I did enjoy this book more than the first- and am intrigued by what is yet to come.

I thought this book was a great addition to the series and I enjoyed it. I would definitely recommend reading this series in order to get the best reading experience as possible because it picks up where book 1 left off. Ommily and Link are our main charcters and we get to see them navigate through life as part of the Guard and they fight rogue supernaturals. Alot happens in this story and it kept me on my toes. I cant wait to read more by this author in the future and I would recommend this awesome read to a friend.

You will definitely want to read the first book in the series before reading this one.
I love this series because it’s such a refreshing but dark twist on a fantasy book that has witches, danger, love, adventure, and so much more all rolled into one. Lady Isra is back at it causing problems, having set her eyes on a good witch Contessia to make her stray from all the goodness she believes in. The characters Miss Sravenheart shares in this book keep your attention and help you relate to them.

This was such a fresh take on paranormal romance that I greatly enjoyed! It’s a quick and light read, full of laugh out loud humor. It had a good dose of spooky feels to it also! Easy to squeeze into a lazy afternoon and highly recommended for the season.

This is the second book in the Soppranaturale Series. The story of Link and Ommily continues. As the two remaining Fae left they have come together and after competing successfully in The Gauntlet they are now part of The Guard.
The Guard is a group of people who are entrusted to protect The Soppranaturale Hotel from the evils and wraiths that are set on destroying this safe haven for supernatural beings.
This book sees Link and Ommily tested like never before and keep you gripped to see whether they can win in the end.
The characters were really well written and easy to follow. Its a great supernatural story that keeps you hooked.

The Guard by Ashley Pagano a fancy five-star read. This is number two in a Soppranaturale series and it is best to read them in order to get the most out of them. This was such a well-done paranormal story, it has so many fast-paced lines that hook you in and don’t let go. There is something for everyone in this series and this story, action and passion and romance, a story that will run you through the emotional wringer, but you will still love it. I don’t want to say too much, so I will just say you need this story!!

This book is an awesome second book. It’s not too often that a second equals or is better than the first. This is one special book because it does that! It is a continuation of book 1 and tells how things are since winning the Gauntlet. Each of the characters is moved forward personally but they also grow together. I loved seeing each of them and their powers.
Do you like action, romance, paranormals? Yes, Yes, Yes?..Me too! This has all that and more! This is full of wonderful characters. I loved wondering what Ommily and Link would do next, who they would run into and what kind of paranormal they were. Or maybe they were human.
Overall I really loved this! Excellent idea (hotel) for the story. The characters are fun, sassy and annoying. They even made me tear up! I would love to see more of these characters anytime!
I would highly recommend reading The Gauntlet (book 1) before reading this. There are a few overlapping stories as well as the first time Ommily comes to the hotel.
