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.

I was on edge, wondering when the other shoe was going to drop.
This series should be read in order. There’s no way you can appreciate this story without all the pieces.
You never really know what Ashley Jade is going to bring to the table. Bianca, the baby of the Covington clan. Throughout the series, she’s been portrayed rather evil. This book threw the whole concept out the window and laid a fresh, new side to her character. I don’t want to spoil your reading experience, no spoilers from me. I can’t write this review fairly because of it.
I felt like this was a prelude to something more epic. I didn’t find the story romantic at all, because like I said, there’s a part of the story that’s missing, yet to be told. My heart is locked tight knowing there’s another twist coming. If you’ve ever read this author, you know exactly what I’m saying. She’ll snack on all your emotions before devouring your heart for dessert. My stomach is twisted in knots already. I obviously need to read the next book, because I’m a masochist, apparently. I wasn’t looking forward to Bianca’s story, but I can’t help but want to know how it ends.
“Then tell me you’re mine.”
“I’m yours.”
But who is she?
The Covington family, I seriously have no words for the strength this family must have to endure everything Jade throws their way. I love the bond that Bianca has with her family along with the bond of her brother’s with their girls. Which of course in this book, we get to see more of our favorite Royal Hearts favs.
Bianca is going through an unspeakable tragedy trying to find out who she is. Something we all go through in life- however she is actually unsure of WHO she is.
This book is about learning to love yourself, let go of the past and move forward. In true A. Jade fashion, the drama is brought, holy moly I think i chewed my nails down to my cuticles at moments.
I love this series so much and I can’t wait to see whats next.
Wow…this book. I’ll admit I’m glad I waited to read it until Broken Kingdom came out because the wait would’ve killed me. (And I normally love cliffhangers) During the first two books in this series, Bianca is a tough person to like, but in Wicked Princess, you get to see so much more backstory into what makes her tick. The flashback scenes with Liam and her mom were heartbreaking. I wept several times throughout this book. I know some people might be confused as to where this story is going, but I will just say trust in the author’s process. It’s the first half of an incredible journey.
This was not what I expected, but I still couldn’t put it down. I went through the whole book waiting for the other shoe to drop! Lot’s of details still to be learned. I can’t wait for the final book. A+++++
This was worth the wait for Bianca’s book. I was a little hesitant when I read about her character in the first two books – but Ashley Jade made it worth the wait.
Bianca is the little sister of Jace and Cole Covington and she has always been the heartless, cruel, popular girl. From the very beginning of this book though, you see a changed Bianca after waking in the hospital with her last memories being from when she was 8 years old. Bianca then struggles to reconcile who she is now (with the memories of an 8 year old) with the person that everyone else knows her to be. She has to get to know everyone again while trying to re-enter her own life.
This book left me with a TON of unanswered questions, but that is to be expected when there is another book coming! I really enjoyed how Ashley Jade wrote Bianca and showed her growth as a character. Amnesia stories can seem a little odd to me, but I love that this was written with a reconciliation of the two versions of Bianca and that she is slowly regaining her memories.
I am so excited for the next installment with Broken Knight!
I read this book about 2 hours ago and am STILL trying to figure out how to put my thoughts into words. I can tell you that Ashley did a freaking phenomenal job with the book and it is AMAZING!
You thought you knew who Bianca Covington is… you HAVE NO IDEA! If you have read the previous books in the series (and if you haven’t stopped what you are doing right now and go read the first book ASAP) then you know things have not been easy for the Covington siblings. This next installment gets you right into the Wicked Princess’ mind and prepare to have yours BLOWN!
I won’t be going into any more details because let’s be real, why would I, you need to read it to get the full effect! Just know that answers will be given and you will understand a LOT more after reading it. I really enjoyed the turn this book took and give it 5 stars! I also cannot wait to see what is up next for this author, her mind is freaking awesome!
Who is Bianca Covington?!
PS: Thank you to Ashley Jade and Candi Kane PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review! <3
I’m still trying to wrap my head around everything that we now know and what we don’t know. Ashley Jade sure decided to fuck with our heads on this one! She left me saying “wtf?! I need more! I need answers!” You are left with so many questions and uncertain feelings but now I CANNOT WAIT to read Broken Kingdom because I’m sure everything will be cleared up. I just need to trust Ashley Jade and the process!
Now besides saying that, I can’t really go into more detail. You need to go in blind with this one and not know spoilers. And although this book follows Bianca’s story, you still should read the first two books for the background info and to get the full effect.
Now I just have to wait for Oakley, my favorite character from this series!
I love this entire series you can’t help but be invested with the characters. I flew through this book. This book gutted me at times. I honestly could not get enough of Bianca and I can’t wait for the next book!!

“How can I possibly give someone all of me when I don’t even have all of me?”
Okay, so I am going to be honest… I had so many mixed feelings and every SINGLE ONE of those feelings was composed by A. Jade perfectly.
Bianca is queen bitch, mama’s girl, head cheerleader and somehow tangled in her brother’s best friend. Well, all that was before and this book shows us the after.
A. Jade manages to hit us all the exact same way she did in the shocking final pages of Ruthless Knight – like a car wreck and I didn’t have my seatbelt on.
Bianca is none of the things we labeled her with and we are forced to watch her loose every memory that shaped her after the devastating deaths of her mother and brother. So what’s left?
A Bianca that you can’t hate.
A Bianca who has forgotten who the enemy is.
A Bianca who, dare I say it, has forgotten her leading man.
Playing into every emotion A. Jade wanted I felt annoyed with getting to know a Bianca who wasn’t someone I loved to hate, I felt crazy trying to forget all the ties to her old life, frustrated with the secondary cast for withholding secrets and enraged when I reached the last page. This book made me think and disect her words in a way I hadn’t had to do in so long. Ashley reignited a part of me that loves reading between the lines, kicked my ass out of the moving car and forced me to wake up a new person.
Once you read between the lines of this book, connect with others, hell even join her private FaceBook Group (Ashley Jade’s Angry Girls) – you will understand the beauty how the painful stories will have us begging for a happy ending.
Wow…Wicked Princess blows my mind. Ashley Jade, author, did a very good job with Bianca’s story. I admit that I did not read the first two books and I am probably missing some important information but I still was able to follow along but plan on going back and reading the first two books. I think if I had I would be even more blown away with Bianca’s story. Ashley did a fantastic job bring out so many emotions. I feel like I am in a whirlwind. Wicked Princess will make you laugh, cry, and fall in love with her a little bit. From some references I can tell she is a total different person at least in the beginning than she was in the previous two books. I plan on going back as soon as I am done writing this review to read both Cruel Prince and Ruthless Knight. This is the first Ashley Jade book that I have ever read and I am now going to include her in my fave list. I loved the way she wrote Wicked Princess and can’t wait for the story to continue in Broken Kingdom. I highly recommend the whole Royal Hearts Academy’s series(yes, the whole series even though I haven’t read all of the books yet but if Wicked Princess is any indication you need the whole series to make sense out of everything. I hope you love Wicked Princess as much as I have come to. Also, I will recommend checking out books from Ashley Jade as I can tell from reading Wicked Princess that she is a very good writer that I plan on reading more of.
In this book you get to see a wayyy different side
to Bianca. She was in an accident, and ends up
getting badly injured and with amnesia. Everything
is completely different, she doesn’t remember her
life or how she was. I’m glad this is two-part book,
obviously because the next and final book in the series
will probably answer a lot of things we’re left wondering.
OMG…there’s so much! Ashley Jade will keep you on the edge of your seat in this heart-pounding and edgy romance. This book is emotionally tumultuous, heart-wrenching, powerful, moving, indelible, guttural with gritty real issues. Please be aware that there are some triggers/contents that some readers might find disturbing/upsetting. This book is flawlessly and poignantly written—Stone and Bianca‘s bittersweet love story from the Royal Hearts Academy series, which is the third book in the series. Their story touched me in so many deep-seated ways that I was completely sucked into the vortex of the rich/powerful, and I feel like I just got off a crazy wild roller coaster ride from hell! I felt everything Stone and Bianca were going through down in my soul, but I was dumbfounded after reading about Bianca’s life—it was mind boggling!! I was captivated from start to finish! Ashley Jade is an amazing storyteller. She made me laugh and cry, often times in the same sentence; and the way she develops her characters and tells their story was amazing. I think Ashley Jade also did a superb job in bringing the darkness of suicide to the forefront and didn’t shy away from showing how bad things end up when painful choices are made. What can I say, Stone and Bianca are full of surprises—I was flabbergasted with the unexpected revelations that happened, but it is jaw-dropping good! Not all of its surprises are pleasant ones, but there is a certain satisfaction in experiencing a thread that is so obstinately unexpected. This is the first time I have read Ashley Jade’s books, and not sure why I have waited so long, but it will not be the last one. I have bought the other books to catch up. Ashley Jade delivered a powerful, addictive, intriguing, emotional, and all-consuming story that left me obsessed and yearning for more. I highly RECOMMEND this book!
I’m not sure what I was expecting, but definitely not this. Of course Ashley Jade doesn’t write what you expect, there’s always twists and turns.
While the story had my scratching my wondering if I “read that right” I loved the story. It was great to see past characters again…a walk down memory Lane if you will
This book was completely different than what I thought is was gonna be but I absolutely loved it. The way everything unfolded was written so well you didn’t expect it. I can not wait for Broken Kingdom!!
Bianca Covington wakes up with retrograde amnesia after a car accident and transfers to another school for a fresh start. The handsome Stone DaSilva is assigned to be Bianca’s student pal to show her around. Too bad Stone doesn’t want anything to do with Bianca. Bianca really needs a friend and gets Stone to agree to a truce but with Bianca’s brothers hating Stone, are Bianca and Stone doomed to remain frenemies?
Wicked Princess is a drama-filled, angsty, heart-breaking and intriguing story full of twists and turns that will keep you glued to your seat. I can’t wait to read Broken Kingdom, Book 4 of the Royal Hearts Academy series.
Bianca Covington was once the Wicked Princess of Royal Hearts Academy but now finds herself in quite the predicament when an accident has happened and she is no longer the Bianca she was before. All those who feared her before no longer do and are ready for some payback..With her family trying to protect her they are also keeping things from her. She is left to figure things out for herself meanwhile trying to figure out who she is. But in all this one good thing has come from it all.. Stone. (For now.)
What will happen when Bianca starts to remember everything including Oakley?..
I’m so ready for Broken Kingdom!!
I decided to stay away from reviews until I read this story for myself. Even if its an unpopular opinion I enjoyed this book. It was shorter then I figured it would be and raised more questions then answers as to what happened etc. but that I believe in itself was necessary to bring things to a conclusion in the next book. Granted Bianca might not be the same wicked bitch everyone loved I feel like its refreshing in a way to see her in a different light and I believe she will make a comeback in the next book proving she is still the baddest bitch… Of course just in a new way.
I feel like there is a reason for everything and I believe Ashley Jade will deliver everything and then some in Broken Kingdom
Wicked might be an understatement when it comes to Bianca Covington. I knew she was bad going in, but seeing her misdeeds from her point of view was a whole new level.
This story is really setting the stage for Broken Kingdom. While we get more details from past events, there’s more still shrouded in mystery. Even more layers to characters I thought I knew were revealed, leading to more questions. The one thing I know for sure is that family is everything to the Covington’s. Even Bianca at her worst protects and defends her family.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Ok, wow! So, where to start with this review!
I absolutely loved the sh*t out of this book but I think I’m left with way more questions then when I started.
Like every Ashley Jade book the writing was incredible and she knows how to hook you. And once you’re in she definitely knows just when and where to make the hits, to make you invested and fall for these characters.
I’m having trouble conveying with words how much I loved and loathed (just a little, but in the best way possible) this book. I can’t tell you how many times I said ‘WTF’ or yelled at Bianca while reading Wicked Princess.
Ashely Jade makes you feel everything, question everything! She has such a talent for writing incredibly damaged characters and makes the reader connect with them in ways you never thought possible. And Wicked Princess is no exception.
And now, I’ll just be over here not so patiently waiting for the next installment.
Seriously, if you’ve read the first 2 books in the Royal Hearts Academy series then you definitely NEED to read this one! (And then come back and let me know what what you think).
I first read Wicked Princess as soon as it hit my Kindle and could not put it down until I read the very last word of the epilogue. I absolutely love all of Ashley Jade’s books and it is abundantly clear that she pours every ounce of creativity into her characters and the stories that she creates. The Royal Hearts Academy is one of my favorite series and Ruthless Knight destroyed me in the best way. Before starting Wicked Princess I was not exactly sure what to expect or where the story would lead. I chose to write this review because I was dumbfounded by amount of controversy that one book could stir up and perhaps I might have been slightly disappointed had I believed that Wicked Princess was the end of Bianca’s journey but I understood that it was only the beginning. Bianca is such a complex character that quite honestly has been easy to dislike in the past. This book as controversial as it might be was equally necessary. Wicked Princess gives us a small window into who Bianca is at her foundation and why she behaves the way that she does. Becoming acquainted with this side of Bianca made her more real and relatable. The foreshadowing that takes places throughout Wicked Princess had me holding my breathing and silently cheering Bianca on while impatiently awaiting Broken Kingdom to conclude this riveting series and provide the closure that the Covington family deserves. Wicked Princess may not have been what I was expecting but it definitely did not disappoint. Ashley Jade’s vision is much greater than what we the readers see within the words of her individual books.
Omg is all I can say!! Like seriously Biancas book had tons of twists and turns and didn’t know what to expect.. Cant wait for the next book BK, we get the finale and well lets see where it takes us. Ashley Jade knows how to get you on the edge and wanting more to it!!! You really need this book, well the whole series lol
