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 … 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.

This book was incredible!!! Bianca has always been one of my favorites in this series even with her bitchy moments, so needless to say, I have been so excited to read Wicked Princess, and Ashley Jade didn’t let me down It was everything that I was hoping for it to be and so much more. You guys are going to love Bianca!!!
The first page hooked me till the very end. I couldn’t put it down I experienced so many emotions in just the first couple chapters I was a mess. I’m not going to go give anything away, but you guys are in for a ride. Well done Ashley, you f***ing killed it. I highly recommend this book and recommend reading Cruel prince and Ruthless knight first if you haven’t so you’ll get the full experience.
(4.5)
If one line in the entire book could sum up Wicked Princess it would be;
‘Sawyer makes the sign of the cross and starts muttering what sounds like the Hail Mary prayer.’
__________
Wicked Princess, a spoiler free review, in haiku style;
Trust her, Ashley says
Bianca goes through some shit
Fuck, that ending though
You’re welcome.
__________
Key things to take in mind-
Read books 1 and 2 (Cruel Prince, Ruthless Knight) BEFORE Wicked Princess. Trust Ashley. If you’re anything like me, you’re going to be feeling some type of way (while reading this) and that’s okay, but trust the process because this ride, has a destination, whether we get to it sooner or later, it has a destination.
Wicked Princess is book 3 in the Royal Hearts Academy series and both books need to be read prior to this one to understand what is going on.
Bianca’s book had me intrigued for a lot of reasons.
1. Because I didn’t like Bianca in the first 2 books so I was interested to see if A Jade could redeem her and make me like her character and I was shocked because she did.
2. We don’t know who Bianca is going to end up with prior to reading the book and if you’ve read the first two books you will know that there were a couple of options. Did I guess right who she ended up with? No. Did I like who she ended up with? At the start no but as the story went on I see why A Jade wrote the story that way.
That being said it wasn’t 5 stars for me because it seemed a bit rushed and that ending left me feeling a bit unfulfilled. I still enjoyed the story but it’s not my favourite of the 3. I did love that we got to see more of Jace and Cole though.

Wicked Princess by Ashley Jade
Wicked Princess (Royal Hearts Academy, #3)
by Ashley Jade (Goodreads Author)
Read
I. Am. So Excited! I had been waiting for months and months for Wicked Princess to be released. Once I started reading, I read this beauty of a book in one sitting and I was never dissatisfied or disappointed. However, my emotions were on a rollercoaster ride. What an absolute amazing story!
The Royal Hearts Academy series is brilliantly written and equally amazing! I am such a huge fan of A. Jade and her exceptionally clever and very talented mind. Her perfectly imperfect characters are uncannily flawed and ingeniously damaged. I absolutely love them.. I. Need. More!
I highly recommend this amazing series and all books written by Mrs. Jade.
Wow! Each book in this series just gets better and better! I looked forward to Bianca’s story and it was so well worth the wait. Nothing could prepare me for the events of this book. Bianca is the youngest sibling and the spoiled one, and she is perceived as not being very nice. Until one day that all changes and she seems to be a complete different person. But why? What happened? Well, I’m not one to give out spoilers, so you will need to read this epic story of second chances.
This author has a way of entrancing you with her words and her characters. I couldn’t help but love Bianca even when she wasn’t so lovable. And I enjoyed the interactions with her family. One thing about the Covington’s is that family always comes first.
As you read, your heart will hurt, you will feel sadness and happiness and then your heart will feel all full again. Words really can’t truly describe how incredible this story is, so please, do yourself a favor and read this book. It’s a journey of which you will never forget.
Omg. Insane!!! That was such an addictive read! Read it in one night! Just when you think you have Bianca figured out- you just DONT! The unexpected twists and turns of the entire clan will keep you on your toes! And that epilogue…omg!!!
Ashley Jade doesn’t go the safe or expected route when it comes to her storytelling. She follows her own drum and what I always end up with is awe cause she manages to surprise me. Again it’s with the twists and direction in the plot in the RHA storyline. Fantastic!
I was very excited to read Bianca’s story since getting to know her in the previous two books Cruel Prince and Ruthless Knight. One thing for sure Bianca is a force to be reckon with. She’s a lot of things. Both good and bad but one thing is for damn sure. She’s fiercely loyal to the people she loves. Wicked Princess cemented that.
Bianca’s journey in Wicked Princess is highly addictive. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. I needed answers and the layers to Bianca slowly got peeled away that I saw different sides to her. This isn’t a predictable story. It’s human, it’s painful and it’s so damn good.
Despite the story felt a little rushed at times Wicked Princess is a fabulous addition to the Royal Hearts Academy series. It’s not what I expected and I like and appreciate that. Ashley Jade switched it up and it was amazing. The Covington siblings kept on surprising me and so did the other characters. I just wanted more! Of all them.
Ashley Jade has laid the perfect foundation for this series already from book 1, continued in book 2 and here it comes to fruition in the characters and plot.
There’s going to be a fourth book and after finishing Wicked Princess the first thing that comes to mind is Hurry up and get to October already!
4 Baby Covington Stars
Im not sure i have the words to express how much I loved this book! But ill try. Ashley said from the moment she finished this book to trust her. Well I trusted her whole heartedly and she didn’t let me down. There is a reason she was so tight lipped about this story. It made reading this one that much better not knowing anything. Everything was a surprise and you wont be able to predict anything. Wicked Princess was incredible! Honestly, I loved Bianca in the first two books of this series but I think I loved her even more in this one. I was lucky enough to receive a ARC copy and binge read it that same day. WP will draw you in from the beginning! This is a book you dont want to miss! Ashley has been a favorite of mine from the very first book I’ve read from her..she is hands down amazing!
I will say it again Ashley’s books just get better and better.
I have been waiting for this book and boy it didn’t disappoint This is Bianca story she has always been a favourite of mine. I am not going to give any spoilers away. Her story isn’t an easy one I really felt for her. but it is one hell of a ride. I liked the flash backs. I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. This one is well written and the story just flows and will have you turning the pages.
This book had me on the edge of my seat while reading it and by the end had me questioning what I just read. So without spoiling it, I will say that you have to read Wicked Princess to find out the secrets this story holds. Another great read Ashley Jade and I gotta say this book is a contender for my 2020 end of the year list.
5*
Well what can I say that sums Bianca up??
Spoilt, vicious the list goes on. Therefore diving into this book already has us intrigued.
I’m still processing how brilliant the book was and can only urge you to dive in quickly and find out for yourself what’s in store for our “Wicked Princess”
I have truly loved this series and I’m so happy to see that another book will be released “Broken Kingdom”
Wicked Princess is book three in the series. I highly recommend reading the series in order because it gives the reader a better picture of family’s past and dynamics.
Bianca is a Wicked Princess or Bit.. to most and has no problem with being seen as such until one event changes everything. Read to find out how memory loss affects Bianca. Be prepared for some secrets to be exposed and the truth to come out.
I have chills.. and my heart is in agony.
Bianca’s journey and her self-growth are beautiful things to see unfold. There is no way to describe this story without giving away the ride it takes you on. You need to read it to understand the array of emotions Ashley Jade can evoke with one character.
I am left speechless and at the same moment my mind is racing with all the possibilities this book has left me with. It’s been three days since I’ve read it and I can’t get it out of my head. I am literally dreaming about Bianca. The obsession is real.
Whew!!! Our Gurl Bianca is fierce! I’m so completely in love with her story!
Complicated is putting it mildly. Jade has captured your favorite bad a– and made some adjustments to the throne she sits upon.
Getting in Bianca’s mind was more sad than I expected, home girl has a lot of skeletons in there.
This series is a must read!
I initially couldn’t decide between 4 and 5 stars. Ultimately, I decided on 5 because my preference shouldn’t take away from the quality of storytelling. The writing is amazing as always. The series is still legit fire. But I’m so torn because I really dislike how Bianca’s story turned out. I feel like there is no real substance to her and Stone’s relationship. I love the amnesia aspect. It’s so original. But this book was a what.the.hell for me. I hope the next book helps me out.
I can see how this book has a lower rating then the previous two as it did feel like a filler/novella AND you definitely need to have read the previous two books in this series – unlike the previous two that could be read each as a standalone.
However in saying that – I read it within 24 hours. It was addictive, emotional and an excellent twist in this series.
This is Biancas story. Except, it’s not just her story – it’s a new beginning.
Bianca wakes up from a coma with no memories from the last ten years. With this, she slowly finds out her mum and brother have both passed in the last decade, and many people did not like her. She has small flashbacks of the last 10 years and also finds out through these flashbacks – that she doesn’t think she liked who she was either.
Bring in Stone. Her “knight in shining armour”. A blast from her past she doesn’t remember – except he definitely remembers her, for good, and for bad.
Bianca and Stone have a enemies to lovers story but it is small and rushed. And you can also tell – he isn’t her end game. He’s her safe game – but there is still something missing.
Fast forward to the ending of this story, and that extended epilogue will make you go OHHHHHH!! And jump straight into book 4!
Holy crap!! Never have I read a book where my heart was all about to slam out of my chest from the all the feels in the first few chapters of a book!
This a short review cuz I don’t know what to say without Spoiling it! But I can can without a doubt say this has been hands down my favorite story of 2020!
Biancas book still has my mind flying in different directions trying to process everything!
Ashley Jade is a Queen of Angst And I cannot wait to see what happens next!
Ashley Jade does it again! Bianca Covington is a piece of work. But she has amnesia and doesn’t remember. This book helps her put the pieces of her life back together. Amazing story & amazing narration by Lila Winters!
This review is about to be the vaguest thing ever written. I really enjoyed seeing all the different sides of Bianca. In the first 2 books of the series, she was incredibly manipulative and calculating, and it was nice to see that she had layers beyond what she was giving us.
As far as the relationship with the H, it felt a little rushed. I don’t know if it was just met or the lack of his perspective, but the two of them transpired rather quickly.
I did love how much the rest of the characters from the series played a part in this book.
I’ve enjoyed this series, and I’m intrigued by what else is coming for this crew.
This book was great. It was raw and needy. I feel such pain for Bianca. I really enjoyed her story!
