Liars.
Every last one of them.
The kings and queens of my new high school.
The father and stepmother I never knew.
Each has more wealth and privilege than I could’ve ever imagined.
Each has a pile of wicked dirty secrets they’d do anything to protect.
These people have grown accustomed to getting what they want and what they want is to make my life a living hell.
Too bad for them, you … life a living hell.
Too bad for them, you can’t break someone who’s already broken.
Too bad for them, I won’t give up without a fight.
Too bad for them, I’m going to make them pay…even if it’s the last thing I do.
*Wicked Liars is the first book in the Windsor Academy series. This is a dark high school bully romance that may contain triggers for sensitive readers. Due to mature subject matter, it is recommended for readers 18+ only.

Holy cannoli Batman, wow! This was my first book by Laura Lee and was intrigued when I saw it was a bully romance. I’m a total sucker for a good bully romance, and Wicked Liars does not disappoint! Seriously, it’s so good!
It did take me a minute to get into the story. I honestly thought it was gonna be a flop because it started out kind of typical, but then whoooo boy it took a turn I was not expecting (here’s looking at you Mr. Callahan/Mr. Davenport you creepsters). Cannot wait for more!
MY GOD!!
THIS STORY DESERVES SO MANY MORE STARS,IT WAS INCREDIBLE
They say there is a thin line between love and hate and that’s never been more clear in wicked Lies.
Kingston had me from the very first encounter, I Absolutely love him and the way that he is, an alphahole in any book is my go-to and he ticks all my box’s
Jazz, I Absolutely loved her , shes honest and feisty with a mouth even her father cant control, with her she says it exactly how it is and I love that.
I couldn’t put it down, I was captured from the very first page, its took me a while to write this review because GOD DAMN!! I had no words.
I’ve read a few of Laura’s books now and shes quickly become one of my favourite authors, the way she writes I’m sure now I’d read anything she produces.
WHAT AN EPIC MASTERPIECE, BUT PLEASE HURRY…I NEED MORE!!
Wow…. just freaking wow!
I found Laura Lee a few years ago with her RomCom and fell in love. Then I read her angsty Taboo…. seriously devoured that one. When I heard she was writing a bully Romance, I was intrigued. Not going to lie, not normally my go to. But let me just say…. BLOWN AWAY!! Is there anything she can’t write?
In Wicked Liars you are taken to the elite side of things. It’s like another world. The author describes the world with such detail, I felt I was right there with Jazz experiencing it all with her. The complexity of the characters are amazing. It’s not just a typical h and H. Nope, there are lots of interwoven backstory that gets revealed and more.
There are some darker spots in this book, but I have to say… that just hooked me more. I could not put this down. New Adult typically isn’t my go to as I said, but this one earned every one of my 5 stars!
I am running to amazon to preorder the second book now!
Wow! I was blown away by this book. Lee crafted a dark plot that had me engaged from start to finish. I was hooked by the prologue that had me voraciously reading, wanting to know more.
This is a dark bully romance that may not be for everyone, but as uncomfortable as I felt at certain points in the book, I couldn’t put it down.
Kingston and Jasmine are the protagonists in this story. Their initial animosity fuels their attraction to each other, their chemistry is off the charts. However, this book is more than just the story of Kingston and Jasmine. Lee interweaves into the plot a story of intrigue, subterfuge, and deceit that gradually evolves throughout the book. The book ends with one heck of a cliffhanger that had me downloading book 2 immediately.
This book was so good, I read it in one sitting. It was well written, fast-paced, full of angst, scheming, and secrecy. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds.
Wicked Liers is the first book in Laura Lee’s Windsor Academy series. This is not the first book I have read by Laura Lee and will not be my last. I normally am not one for High School Romances but Laura always gets me with hers.
Get ready for a ride. Laura is going to take you on an adventure and leave you hanging for the rest of the series. You are not going to want to set this one down! I started it this morning and struggled to put it down all day! The lies, the secrets, the ending! I seriously need the rest asap!
Looking for a quick, suspenseful, strong willing female and a alphahole story? Then you MUST check this out today!
Wicked Liar…it’s nothing I expect but oh so intriguing. I was drawn into Jazz and Kingston’s story…they hate each other but the connection between them is undeniable…to bad Kingston is Jazzs step sisters boyfriend of several years….or so it would seem.
Noting is as it seems in the awesome read. No one is as they seem, well except Jazz, what you see is what you get with her. Everyone at Windsor Academy taunts Jazz just because she’s the new girl. Kingston Davenport being at the top of the list with all the royals following suit, but will they take it to far…I don’t know but I can’t wait to find out what happens next in book two of Windsor Academy series. You should grab your copy today. I volunteered to review Wicked Liar and I received a free copy. Boy am I glad I did…Now I’m off to read book two…I hope you will too. ENJOY!
Intense must read!!!
Omg Laura Lee, blew me away with this book. I have read her romcom books and loved them and knew I would probably love her bully romance but wow was this completely unexpected in the best of ways. First off this is dark and has so many twists that it makes you unable to put this book down.
Jasmine/Jazz is one of my favorite female characters now. I mean this girl lost her mom and is separated from her very young half sister and given to her bio dad she has no idea who he is. Her world is turned upside down and she handles it like a champ. She ends up with an extremely wealthy misogynistic, cold, and creepy father and stepford wife and daughter. What makes this character so relatable and endearing is her never give up or back down attitude. She is bullied and threatened and not once does she back down. This is such a complex and depth character from the start.
Kingston, is the typical alpha cocky male with his name and wealth, he is your typical king of the school and bully by nature. Yes he is that character you will definitely hate from time to time but then get glimpses of someone who isn’t quite what he seems. So yes you definitely get to have a love/hate relationship with his character. He has tons of secrets and info but you are only going to get a little of it throughout the story so you will be doing the “who done what and what is going on now moments” along with melt your kindle angsty steamy moments with him and Jazz. These two have an enemies to lovers vibe with the bully romance mixed in.
If you are looking for an intense what is happening dark bully romance then look no further because this book is packed with so much you can’t put it down. I mean that ending is insane and has you screaming what just happened and omg I need to know what’s going on. This book has the best main and side characters that make you want more of their stories also. Grab this book get lost in this incredibly intense dark at times book.
This was my first time reading one of this authors books and let me tell you it definitely won’t be the last!!! From the very beginning I was on the edge of my seat wanting and needing to know what happens next! This story was full of drama and twists and turn you don’t expect. That ending was unbelievable omg I’m so glad the next book is already out.
This is my first time reading this author and I must say, I have a new favorite author.
Kingston, Jazz, and the rest of the crew are intriguing. I cannot get enough of them, especially Kingston and Bent.
This book was so flipping amazing. It was very well written and I cannot wait to read more from Laura Lee.
I received this book from the Bully Me Book Crate.
I saw a recommendation for this series a couple of times and then came across it again on TikTok so decided to go in blind (I didn’t read the blurb).
I expected this to be ‘another bully romance’ but it wasn’t. It’s a dark contemporary romance with quite a few twists and turns. Some were predictable while others shocked me.
It’s a classic ‘girl from wrong side of the tracks gets uprooted into money’ story but with some twists and surprises that have you saying WTF. Jazz is not just thrown into a world she never asked for, but she quickly learns that there’s more than meets the eye going on around her. The author did an amazing job of building up not just the main two characters but the group of friends too. You can’t help but feel apart of the group. I would’ve loved to expand on a few parts but overall it was a great series.
I received a copy of this book in my January Bully Me Book Crate box If you love this genre, I highly recommend subscribing to a monthly book box!!
This book was fantastic!! I devoured every single minute of it I loved the female heroine, Jazz, so much She was smart, strong and feisty!! This gets the attention of the king of the prestigious, Windsor Academy, Kingston. Along with his fellow leaders of the school, Bentley and Reed. Jazz is too smart to trust Kingston, when he tries to pull her in. This makes for some steam and delicious dialogue between them Your heart really does go out to Jazz. She’s thrown into the world of the elite, with a father she doesn’t know, a stepmother and step sister, and this prestigious school where you have to play by certain rules…..
I can’t wait to read book 2
I highly recommend this book
THIS BOOK HITS THE GROUND RUNNING AND LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE!! I loved this book! It is a fabulously dark high school bully romance filled with drama, angst, danger, and deceit. The slow burn between Jazz and Kingston is written to PERFECTION! From beginning to end you will be sucked into a story that keeps you guessing what’s happening next! I SERIOUSLY COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN! This is definitely one of my favorite reads this year and a FANTASTIC start to a new series! I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book as a purchase or to read!
What the what! I was so not prepared for Wicked Liars. I wasn’t sure what to expect since I always go into reading a new book blind but holy he** did The author blow this book out of the water! It was brilliant. A high school bully series done to perfection that leaves you wanting more from the first page to the last! I love that you dual perspectives. Jazz is absolutely stunning and a take no crap kind of girl who gives as good as she gets. Then there’s her 3 hottie tormentors! Kingston, Bentley and Reed they are such jerks and you really want to throat punch them for what they are doing to Jazz but she never backs down. There are so many twists and turns that will keep you guessing and holy cliffhanger! Book 2 here I come!!
Holy crap. What did I just read? I am so in love with this book. The characters were perfect. The plot was fast-paced and so fill of secrets. My head is spinning with all kinds of questions. I need to read more right now!
Wow…my mind is still stuck on the ending. Can’t wait to read Ruthless Kings (book2 in Windsor Academy). I loved Wicked Liars. There is so much emotions and chemistry between Jazz, Bent, and Kingston. Wicked Liars have surprises, twist, turns, things going sideways and best of all emotions and a little (maybe not so little) mystery to solve. Those are all the ingredients needed for a 5 read!! Ruthless Kings promises to be just as fantastic as Wicked Liars. Laura Lee, author, did an amazing job with Wicked Liars. Laura invoked emotions and lots of heat. Laura incorporated a mystery that needs to be solved and I have a feeling it will not be solved till Fallen Heirs (last book in the Windsor Academy series). Small warning there is some triggers in Wicked Liars and you might be cautious reading Wicked Liars but if you have no triggers you will love this book (more than likely the whole Windsor Academy series). As you probably guessed I highly recommend Wicked Liars. It is a must read and I can safely say once you start reading you will not want to stop. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
“Hot breath hits my ear right before he speaks. “Hey, Little Red Ride Me From the Hood. Look at you, surrounded by three big, bad wolves.” The moment the bell rings, I dart out of the room as fast as possible. As I’m crossing the threshold, I swear one of them says, “You can run, but you can’t hide princess.”
In a word “Riveting!” I was glued to this book from the very first page. Although I attempted to predict the outcome, I was unable to. First time I have read this author, but it sure as hell won’t be my last. I’m ready to fall into the rabbit hole of Windsor Academy, try to decipher this web of deceit. We were given a huge clue, the title says it all, liars, liars, don’t believe anything you see or here. Only one person can be trusted, yourself. This is so addictive I see a binge read happening with the rest of the series.
This is another one of those stories that a friend has been telling me to read because she thought I would love it…….and once again, she was right! Wicked Liars was simply fantastic!! I read it in one day because I was just addicted to the characters and this world.
The heroine of the story is Jazz, who goes to live with her dad and his family (who are the absolute worst) after her mom dies. She starts classes at Windsor Academy alongside her evil stepsister Peyton, which is where she meets the three kings of the school – Kingston, Bentley (who is my favorite!), and Reed. She gets bullied by all of them, but things aren’t always quite what they seem. There’s a lot of deceit and deception and darker things at play. But somewhere along the way, the crazy chemistry between Kingston and Jazz gets too difficult to ignore. Seriously, I can’t even begin to describe fully everything that was going on, but all I know is that I couldn’t get enough!
And that cliffy……I feel like deep down in my heart, I know who is responsible for what happened, but there’s always a chance that one of the guys we have come to know, isn’t being upfront and honest.
Now onto book 2, as I need to know what happens next!
Quote: . “, . , , .”
The last year or so has found me picking up dark, high school bully romances on the regular… sometimes one after another. And I’ve definitely discovered some authors that are really just so-so as well as those that I’m now addicted to reading. The later is where I’d place Laura Lee. The Windsor Academy books, starting with Wicked Liars were the first I’d read by this particular author and I’m trying to turn my schedule inside out to find space to read more of her work!
I devoured Wicked Liars. As a matter of fact, I consider myself lucky as I didn’t discover it until shortly before the release of the final book in the trilogy and was therefore able to read the first and second book back to back. Then, I only had to wait a few days before I got the blogger copy of Fallen Heirs on my kindle—yep! Because I stalked the author on Facebook and discovered the final book was releasing and I was just in time to sign up for the releases! It. Was. Glorious! When I started reading Wicked Liars, I was blow away with how quickly Laura Lee sucked me into the story and before I knew it, I’d read the entire book in one fell swoop! I was exhausted the next day—after all, I finished Wicked Liars at 4 am… and yet, I didn’t hesitate to download Ruthless Kings (book 2) from KU and dive in the next night.
I went into Wicked Liars completely blind. I had no prior experience with Laure Lee’s writing, nor did I have friends and bloggers harping at me to make time for this new-to-me-author—as is often the case since my blog schedule tends to be pretty packed. I saw the covers for the first and second book in this trilogy and checked them out on Amazon because I loved them… Then, I read the blurb for Wicked Liars and promptly borrowed the book from KU. One of the best parts of blogging is discovering new, talented authors but I’ve had less and less time to do so the bigger my blog has gotten. In a rare spare moment, I turned to Amazon to help me pick-up a book one night as I waited for ARCs to pour in later in the week. I’ve never been more excited to say that I’ve discovered a new favorite author to add to my list! Laura Lee’s characters were superb! Jazz was a commanding heroine, and she met her match with the Kings: Kingston, Bentley, and Reed. The war between these characters was unlike any other dark, bully romance I’ve read! Readers will love that the story is told in dual POV so they can get to know the characters well. Jazz’s strength of character is apparent from the very first page and yet her characters growth through the trilogy is also beautiful and well developed! Wicked Liars is packed with sharp banter, off-the-charts chemistry, and a highly entertaining, perfectly paced, utterly consuming storyline! I can’t tell you enough how much I loved the book and I highly, highly recommend it!
I loved this book! The mystery, intrigue, sexual tension between, awesome characters, I loved it all. I couldn’t put it down! I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
I have been on a bully romance kick lately and wow, this book was everything I hope and wish for every time I pick one up. Kingston is the perfect bully, alphahole. He had the mix of cocky and mean with a dash of sweet perfected. Jazz is the bada$$ girl I always admire with her sassy, never back down attitude. I definitely wasn’t ready for all the twists and turns that the story took but dang if I did enjoy the ride. Now I need to jump into book 2 because this lady needs answers ASAP!!
