Author: A. Jade

Genre: Romance. High school

Rating: ☕️☕️☕️

Blurb: 

Welcome to their kingdom.
They call me a heartless b*tch.
An evil manipulator.
A wicked princess who enjoys hurting people.

They tell me terrible things happened.
Things that changed my life forever.

Only problem is...

I can't remember any of it.


This is book 3 in the Royal Hearts Academy series. Please note: Although this is Bianca's book, Cruel Prince (Jace and Dylan’s book) and Ruthless Knight (Cole and Sawyer's book) should be read first for a better understanding of the family dynamic.

WARNING: Royal Hearts Academy is a New Adult/High School series of standalones filled with drama, a touch of angst, and boys who are bad to the bone. The characters are flawed. If you're looking for a safe, sweet romance with nice heroes and heroines who are perfect all the time, this series is NOT for you.

Review: 

This honestly kills me. I have been so excited and ready for Bianca’s story. The mean, cruel, Queen B. But I’m always honest, and Wicked Princess just didn’t live up to the expectations that I had for it. 

Do to spoilers I can’t really go into all of why I didn’t love Wicked Princess, but I’m going to do my best. After how much I absolutely loved Ruthless Knight, I had my expectations set super high, and Wicked Princess just didn’t deliver that for me. 

Wicked Princess was just missing that something that drew me into the first two books. I loved to hate Bianca in Jace and Coles books. I mean, if you’ve read them then you understand that Bianca was a major B before everything happens. And I knew with the circumstances, that she wasn’t exactly going to be the same person, but man she really just lost all of her flair in this book. 

It didn’t even feel like Bianca. It was almost like reading a different character. And the love story was really dull to me. I couldn’t feel any chemistry with them at all, and there seemed like there were a lot of red flags with this character that were just never dealt with. It just didn’t make sense to me. They didn’t make sense to me. There were a lot of things off about it that I can’t mention due to spoilers. 

It was a super quick read, so much so that I didn’t even realize when I was half way through the book. I read it super quick. I still loved the family dynamic with Bianca and her brothers. That at least still felt genuine to me. 

Overall it was just really missing that special something that had me glued to the pages with the first two books. And there was a lot of things surrounding Bianca’s accident that never got answered. I’m sad to say I was just expecting more after how much I loved Ruthless Knight.
