About this listen
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.

I didn't think pulling off for a quick bite to eat in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere would change everything. I was wrong. Now, I'm running through the forest wearing nothing but a red cloak, being hunted by wolves. I'm desperate, terrified, and not ready to die. When they attack, I know this is it. Except…it isn't. Because the den of wolves that bite me somehow turns into men. Men who swear I'm just like them—a shifter. And as much as I don't want to believe them, I'm not sure they're wrong.

My life hasn't been typical. All I remember is waking up in an alley when I was ten, scrounging for scraps to survive until I was taken to the Bronzeheart estate. That's where my life began, where I've lived for the past eight years with the ruling family, the Blitz Clan. It's where I found my best friend Gage, the future leader of this clan. At the time, I didn't question my good fortune because I was happy to know I wasn't alone in this world anymore. But maybe I should have. After landing a shocking invite to Dark Imaginarium Academy, I realized how much of a safe haven the estate was.

After watching my mother succumb to a mysterious illness, I promised myself two things. I'd find the cure for what ravaged her and leave the godforsaken city where she abandoned me. Four years later, I received an acceptance letter from Dracadia University, one of the oldest most prestigious schools in the country. Nestled on a secluded island off the coast of Maine, it's rumored to be haunted by the souls of the mental patients exiled there centuries before, those whose bones are said to make up the island's white sandy shores. And restless ghosts aren't even its most daunting peculiarity.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
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.

Monsters exist. The only problem is… I'm the only one that can see them. I always thought I would outgrow it. That one day, I would magically wake up, and the nightmares that haunt my life would suddenly be gone. Unfortunately, that hasn't been my luck. Avoidance is key. Don't look at them. Pretend they aren't lurking in the shadows, and never make eye contact. But what happens when the events of my life spiral out of control, plunging me into a new world full of magic, death, and chaos?

Fifty years ago, supernaturals walked amongst humans, hidden in plain sight. Overnight, the world changed. The veil shattered, revealing their true nature, and humans were forced into sectors so those with preternatural blood could flourish out in the open. Every human's twenty-first birthday is marked by a rite of passage. The Awakening, as the supers call it. It's simple. We dip our toes into a God-made lagoon, then go home.

My sadistic mother and god-fearing father believe I have the devil inside of me because I heal after their abuse. I accepted long ago I would die in the very place I'd been born without ever feeling the sun on my skin. Then, one day, my mother took me from my father's religious cult in the wake of his death. Nearly a week later, and after countless hours with her boyfriend Jed's creepy remarks, I find myself in Washington State. I had only ever interacted with my parents and now Jed, so you can imagine my surprise when I ran smack dab into possibly the most handsome man in the world.

I don't trust the prince one bit, but left with no other choice, I agree. Only, the spell goes wrong and instead of matching with just him, I'm matched with all four of the fae princes.

I am IN LOVE with this series
I love this book, and was stupid excited when I saw it was out on Audio. I was a little disappointed at the FMC voice at first, but I pushed through and just listened to the story. I was already OBBSESSED with Annex in the book, the audio version just made it so much more. Ezra and Annex are the perfect MCs for Macai. I love seeing her come into her own, and not taking anyone's shit anymore. The plot of the story is amazing, the characters are amazing, and the fact that the FMC is a badass? Chefs kiss. I love seeing the guys fall in love with her, and her come out of her shell and trust again. I was DEVESTATED by the last chapter in this book and couldn't wait for the second to drop. Now that I have read both books, I have SO many theories lol. I love this book and can't wait for the rest. Great read, great plot and amazing characters!
I didn't give it 5 stars for the performance because sometimes I felt like the FMC's voice was like Kristen Stewart in that Vampire series. Forced in some parts and monotone in most. But the plot, characters and the males voice brought it all together.

Great story
The main character is cool and independent.
A little overview…
She learned from her mistakes and spends most of the book working on her them and the male love interests are drawn to her because of it.
I liked the concept.

Fantastic, both in book format and audio.
First up, I have read the book about 20 times, as I really do love the story. I pre-ordered the audiobook, hoping and praying I would like the narrators, as that can be hit or miss. They were brilliant. Especially Corvin doing Annex. He managed to get the crazy psycho as well as the fun Annex so, so well.
Now I wait for book 2 to be released on Amazon because I really REALLY need to know if the cliffhanger was real lol.

☺️ it’s been a while. Thank You dear Author. Would have given more ⭐️ if it were possible.
I am truly ashamed of how long I had this book in my wishlist. But I am happy I’m late going in. I’ll hopefully have shorter wait time for book two to be released. 👏
