Dark Heart of Magic

Black Blade, Book 2

By: Jennifer Estep

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

As a thief, I stick to the shadows as much as possible. But when the head of the Sinclair Family picks me to compete in the Tournament of Blades, there's no escaping the spotlight - or the danger. Even though he's my competition, Devon Sinclair thinks I have the best shot at winning what's supposed to be a friendly contest. But when the competitors start having mysterious "accidents", it looks like someone will do anything to win - no matter who they hurt. As if I didn't have enough to worry about, mobster Victor Draconi is plotting against Devon and the rest of my friends, and someone's going around Cloudburst Falls murdering monsters. One thing's for sure. Sometimes humans can be more monstrous than anything else....

Great book

Great new YA series. This book is as good as first book in the series. Although was somewhat predictable without much of the plot twister. However family drama, evolving relationship between Main characters keeps you glued to the book. Can't wait for the next book.

Good follow up to first book

I think I might have liked this book more than the first book, honestly. I thought there was a better storyline in this second book, but do understand the lay out in the first book had to give some background. Just like the first book though, it is pretty predictable. Anyways, I enjoyed listening to this book and will continue with the series.

Not sure I have, but will search what she has done for more.

Yes, and fortunately I usually can.

Author hit a home run.

Great book, good character development, good plot, and excellent narration. Thank you for the fun ride.

Couldn't put it down

This second book was just as exciting as the first book. When I finished the first book, I immediately turned around and bought the second. The first was so good and so was the continuation of Lilah's story. The Magic that each one possesses was very interesting. The tournament was exciting. I love a strong woman and Lilah is one very strong woman. The dynamics of the families kept me on the edge of my seat as I listened. The narrator did an excellent job with the characters and their personalities. Love this Series.
