Blackened Bond by Isla Draven



3 Stars

Death once claimed me, stole the air from my lungs as I burned alive…only I didn’t stay dead.

Instead I was returned to my past, and back to a living hell.

The Academy.

Where those who I believed were friends were actually foes. My enemies thought they could break me, but I proved them wrong.

Two months ago I was given a second chance…A second life.

With it I now wanted answers…and revenge.

But something went wrong.

Chaos is happening all around me. Moments in time that never happened before; new people, strange marks, mutated monsters, and a power growing inside me that I have yet to fully understand.

I’ve caused events to alter with my presence…so it’s time I followed suit.

With the bond’s I’ve created in this new life I’ll find the answers I want and reclaim what’s mine.

Where the first one was amazing this one dragged out the story and only really got amazing in the last couple of chapters. There are too many questions still unanswered. Too many loose ends not resolved in anyway. It felt like a bridge book but we are too soon for a bridge book. Still interested enough to be waiting for book 3 but if I hadn’t started the series I would hold off to see if the next one is better.

Blackened Blade by Isla Davon



4 Stars

Not many people get a second chance, let alone a second life.
I died. Burning 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.
But 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.

Why did I read this before all books were out. It starts with time travel, which I’m not a huge fan of but this one made me happy. Micai can get revenge for all those that harmed her. All things that make for a good read for me. I wanted more world building and character development. I also wanted some back history but I’m hoping that will come in future books with how the book is set up. It was one of the best books I’ve read this year.
