Publisher's summary

Not many people get a second chance, let alone a second life.

I died. Burnt in a prison cell I spent years of my life rotting away in.

I had been beaten, battered, and bruised beyond repair...but not broken. Never broken.

By whatever miracle, I've been brought back ten years into my past and before I was locked away...

But to a different kind of hell… Wensridge Academy. A place filled with only memories of pain and suffering.

This time, I'll break the wheel of misfortune and with it, all the people who caused my suffering and death.

This time I'll have the life I should have always had.

The Blackened Blade is the first in a new paranormal why-choose series. It's full of action, revenge, and five dark and damaged love interests that the FMC will not have to choose between. For mature listeners.

Finished it and started it right over

One of my favorite books I can now listen over and over. I really liked the narrators and I’m so happy to have the audiobook

Brothers by Choice

Finding mates, evil in the families, dark secrets and some funny bits too. Cliffhanger ending has me ugly crying every time I read it! I need book 2!!!!

Amazing

I have reread this book multiple time (7 so far) and was very excited to hear it for the first time! Audio book did not disappoint

Everything

I have reread this book 5 times! I love it! So glad to have the audio now!❤️

Didn’t know it could get better

This book has been my top read for almost a year and now to have it available on audio is a dream come true! Performance was flawless and really brought these characters I love so much to life. I know Isla is tired of hearing it by now but…I can’t wait for the next **4!** books!

Yassss…more please!!

This book hit everything I’d been missing, and even things I didn’t know I was missing! Davon breathed new life into tried-and-true tropes—school bullies, reverse harem, and amazingly satisfying revenge.

The only thing that could have made it better would be if it had been recorded in duet narration style rather than dual POV. That being said, both narrators still did an amazing job.

Now I’m impatiently waiting for the next book, and hoping that the audiobook version is released at the same time as the print version.

Read this book—you won’t regret it!

LOVE

This is a true diamond in the rough. Isla Davon did such an incredible job developing these characters and the plot is so different from other rh books in this genre. I finished this audiobook almost just in one sitting. I can’t wait for book 2!

DUAL (not DUET) narration

I read this book and LOVED it. It’s not a literary masterpiece. It’s just a whole lot of fun. There are many repeated conversations and the plot really hasn’t started yet. But this book is addicting. Can’t wait to see what happened next

Audio review: I was bummed when I found out it was being done in dual narration and when I saw the male narrator was corvin king initially. But I was wrong on this one. The female narrator did a great job with both male and female voices. I have no critique for her. I’ve listened to quite a few books with corvin king and he usually does this overly sexy VERY breathy voice that just irritates me. I like that voice in spicy scenes but not during the rest of the story. He’s not a bad narrator. I just think he has a bit of learning to do when it comes to the time and place to use that voice. But he did a MUCH better job in this book. Not as breathy. And he talked at a normal speed this time instead of low and slow. So overall both narrators did a good job on this one.

So Absolutely Amazing

The book is amazing written, and both narrators are amazing and very awesome! I was awestruck with the voices and story telling. Thank you!

Loved every moment

I can’t get enough of this book. Am impatiently waiting for the second which I assume will destroy me just as thoroughly as this one has.
