Publisher's summary

I made it through the trials, but now the real test begins.

Year One classes have begun in the enchanted halls of Blackbriar Academy, and they're more challenging than anything I've ever faced in my life. Surviving the Academy means brutal training, advanced magic, and a bloodthirsty student who is developing a dangerous hunger for my power.

Worst of all, it's clear someone knows my secret. And they have my father locked away.

Deep in the rubble of an ancient ruin, we find evidence of a ritual. One we don't fully understand, but one which most definitely involves me in some way. And as time runs out, we have to find out who's behind this before they kill everyone I love.

The traps are set. The clock is ticking. And I absolutely must save my father before he's slaughtered.

God help whoever dares hurt him. I'm not the weak, naive girl I was when I came to Blackbriar.

My magic has never been stronger, and I've never had more control. I don't care if I risk going dark - I'll do whatever it takes to save the only family I have left.

Or die trying.

The Shadows of Blackbriar Academy is a full-length novel with a powerfully magical heroine, a riveting storyline, and an alternative relationship dynamic that supports our badass heroine's right to choose more than one man. Get ready for a heart-pounding story filled with an academy fantasy romance unlike anything you’ve listened to before.

Buckle in for heart-pounding action, breathtaking magic, deadly assassins, four drop-dead gorgeous leading men, lots of toned muscles, and most importantly - a young woman’s journey of justice, self-discovery, and freedom.

Warning: The Blackbriar Academy saga is a reverse harem series with explicit scenes and is meant for mature listeners who enjoy spellbinding stories with a few very steamy, fan-your-face moments in their fantasy fiction.

Includes a special bonus note from the author.

Need a new drinking game??….

…take a shot every time it says someone “quirked an eyebrow”… except that you might die before you get past the first few chapters…
Besides the laughable repetition of phrases/wording, it’s a fun and easy read. And Amanda Dolan is possibly the best narrator on Audible.
Tip: The author notes at the end of the books are almost more amusing than the text… does she think her readers are toddlers, or witless men waiting to be seduced? Hmm, I’m not sure. Either way, Ms. Ash, I am not your “babe” LOL… but I will keep reading your books.

good read

good, but as most sequels, just not as good as the first one. I will keep going with the series as it does have a lot of potential.

Can't wait for the rest of the series...

I love the story itself but the narration really makes it come to life. I think we have been waiting long enough for the rest of the series.

What will happen next Ren dear?

The narration by Amanda Dolan is excellent and hope she continues be the narrator of this series. We find out more about Ren and her backstory and I just don't trust her Aunt Patricia! The four men/guys are just scrumptious and just waiting to who she picks next. So glad book 3 is out and I can continue this yummy story.

Good

It was a good story but doesn’t really need as much on the sex theme

No shows her but a bright story

The Shadows of Blackbriar Academy Is book 2 in the series. It picks up where book 1 ends . Wren and her four guys .
Wren needs to train to find her father and save him. Wren and her guys need to win over the black shadow creatures . In this book 2 there is a lot of fighting training . Wren still has a strain relationship with her Aunt . I think her aunt is up to something.
Wren saves her father but is her father playing dirty with magic .

Amanda Dolan performance was great. Voice is strong and smooth

Wonderful story

I enjoyed this fun story of Ren and her men as they saved her dad.

Bk 2 Wren & her men

Wren has passed the trials and in this book we find her in her year one classes at Blackbriar Academy.
Wren discovers her father is still alive and someone(s) is still hunting her and holding her father captive while threatening him to harm Wren if he doesn't do as they say.

Wren practices her magic so she has more control - her biggest challenge is accepting help from the men in her life that want to protect her, and knowing when the guys need to accept Wren's strength in participating.

can't wait for book 3

I really love this author. she is great with character development ands giving each book its own story with room to grow.

Too many guys for me.

I kept wondering about this girls character. She seems to jump from bed to bed,, guy to guy and I personally was sick of it. I get falling for them, but multiple sex partners strikes me as nothing I would want to think about because I didn't like it at all.
