ARC Review
Her Dark Love by Isra Sravenheart
October 5, 2023 - October 27th, 2023
For my first ARC Review I gave it a 4-star rating.
Her Dark Love is a YA (Young Adult) Dark Fantasy Novel. Don't let my reading time determine how good the book is. I work part time and I'm trying to build up inventory for my bookish shop hopefully sometime in the next few months (keep an eye out for the announcement post). This book was great. It threw me off that the book was in Third Person POV rather than First Person POV. It was definitely something I wasn't used to, but it wasn't a bad thing. We got introduced to three main characters. Isra, a brunette witch with bright green eyes and a sweet composure. Everilda, a blonde witch with icy blue eyes and a touch of malice behind her composure. And Jonathan, a brunette human man with coffee brown eyes and some secrets up his sleeve. Along the way, we meet characters named: Magnus Wingdom; Wingdom Academy's Headmaster and Professor, Astrid; a black raven who is to keep an eye on Isra, and Samuel; Astrid's Master and ambassador of the Light. This was a great story of magic, betrayal and definitely some twists along the way. It was definitely a refreshing story to read since it was different than I was used to. My only issue I had was there wasn't a whole lot of character development, hopefully next book there will be. I will definitely be recommending this book, and I will finish out the book series at a later date. I am so grateful I got the opportunity to read and review this book and I will definitely be reading more of Isra Sravenheart's work.
Blurb:
Those drawn to the dark side don't always start out that way. There is always a trigger that sends them into that vile world. It turns out that Lady Isra of the Dark didn't always reside in the shadows. She too, had a light side as you will soon discover.
Isra has come a long way to the prestigious Wingdom's Academy to learn the art of magic. The classes are dull but Isra quickly finds a companion in Everilda. They click instantly striking up a rapport.
Isra finds Everilda to be rebellious towards the craft whereas Everilda finds Isra too innocent especially when it comes to romance. Imagine Everilda's shock when she discovers her part-time plaything Jonathan has taken a liking to Isra. Isra is naïve and inexperienced in love but she sees Jonathan as quite charming and instantly takes a shine to him.
“Everilda went out so I was alone, I ran into this handsome stranger named Jonathan. He's kind and gentle. I've never known love before, never mind a love so enchanting as this.”
Little does Isra know that she, Everilda and Jonathan are in an intense love triangle but she is sure to find out as Everilda grows tired of Jonathan's insolence
“Now on a cold, dark night. I witness none other than Jonathan and Everilda together. Oh, how could she do this to me? They've been carrying on behind my back all this time! How can I ever trust either one of them again?”
Amidst all of this, the light bringer Samuel has learned of Isra's tragic plight and sends in his loyal servant Astrid the raven to keep an eye on Isra since Samuel believes Isra's heartbreak is just the ticket to send her tumbling into obscurity. Samuel also brings in in another light being, James, to attempt to keep Isra on the light path. Astrid takes an instant dislike to James. However, James and Astrid's conflict quickly turns into a rivalry.
But with Astrid watching Isra can the light get to her in time to stop her from becoming the ultimate dark foe that everyone has proclaimed her to be?
USA Today Best-Selling Author Isra Sravenheart takes us back in time to when Isra and Everilda are at the tender age of seventeen. Enter in the tall, dark, brooding Jonathan into their world and both witches falling for him? Hell is going to break loose. Darkness is calling. You can't resist it.
Dark Fantasy Author📚🔥🔮🌈
Isra is an eccentric author whose heart resides with the dark fantasy but also paranormal genres. Cats and coffee are her main interests. She's also a pretty badass witch and often envisions new adventures involving dragons, witches, warlocks and really likes villains. When she's not writing she's rewatching Supernatural for the umpteenth time and thirsting over Jensen Ackles. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
