This is a story full of magic, fantasy, good, evil, witches, and other intriguing characters. This is the second book in this series and it is my suggestion that you read these books in order. This book pulled me in from the start and kept me entertained throughout. I had a hard time putting down this book once I started reading it, there seemed to be something happening in the story every time I turned around. The author did a great job writing an original story that takes into a magical world and leaves you wanting more. I recommend this book and can’t wait to see what’s next.
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?
Her Blackened Heart by Isra Sravenheart is a fantastic fantasy book, with an original storyline. I was immediately drawn into this book and couldn’t put it down. The author really knows how to capture the reader’s attention. If you haven’t read the first book, I say start there before diving into this one. I cannot wait to find out what happens next in the series.
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!
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 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
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!
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.
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.
A different fantasy perspective
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.
3 ½ Stars
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.
Thank you, Isra Sravenheart!
She’s at it again. This was another great read. Definitely beneficial to read the first book so you know the characters. Great read! I’m ready for the next one!
I enjoyed this fantasy story. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the first book to help you get to know the characters better. One thing I enjoy about the author is her attention to detail and her ability to write a story that pulls me in from the beginning. This story is no different if not better. Lady Isra is back in this story. There is alot going on in this story that you don’t want to miss. The twists and turns in this story will keep you turning pages as it reveals revenge, suspense and even some romance. I enjoyed reading this book as it is fast paced and entertaining. I highly recommend this book and this author.

5 out of 5 stars
The book Her Blackened Heart (The Blackened Series Book 2) by Isra Sravenheart is a story that I loved reading. It has witches, magic, and danger. Lady Isra is up to her old self. She is a dark witch and her actions show this. She wants to lead Contessia, a good witch who believes in love and light, astray. There is also a war that has begun against a known foe, Everilda. What does the future hold for Contessia and Everilda? Will Lady Isra’s plans succeed? Read this book to find out. This is a story that is wonderfully written. It is exciting and entertaining. Once I started the book, I didn’t want to put it down until the final page. Another interesting character and part of the story is Lady Isra’s raven companion. The author does a wonderful job of taking you into a land of fantasy where you never know just what will happen next. The characters and the storyline come alive and I found myself lost in the pages. Don’t miss out on this amazing fantasy book. I highly recommend reading it.
