Octavia Royal, the nation's princess.

More like, Octavia Royal, my life is a big hot mess.

My father’s death has me back in my hometown, and nothing is as I remember.

Echoes Cove Prep is a place where dreams go to die. Where everyone wants to be a mean girl, no matter what they sacrifice, and the three boys who were once my saviors run the place. Only now they’re my worst nightmare.

There’s something sinister writhing beneath the surface of Echoes Cove. Tangled up in the web of deadly secrets, a wicked game of survival, these people are about to learn...the venom that runs through this town runs through my veins, too….

And I’m not going anywhere.

Tormented Royal

I got drawn into the book fast. Octavia never planned on going back to her hometown. With her father's death, she had to, though.

Good start

I enjoyed this book good start to a new series good story I liked the characters but also hated some of them it's a bully so normally you aren't supposed to like the guys at first.
All the narrators did a great job they really made the characters come alive, I can't wait to hear the rest of the series. This was my first book by this author I will definitely be checking out more of her books

Wow!!!

My heart breaks for V!!! I’m ready for book 2 to see if her boys can save her! This is a great listen and jammed pack with anger, heat, and aggression!!

🔥 Reverse Harem Bully High School Dark Romance

This is the first book I've read by this author. I'm glad I found it. It is the first book of four, that must be read in order. This is a high school, bully, dark romance, reverse harem, and romantic suspense. Octavia is strong but that's being put to the test when she returns to Echoes Cove. Octavia Royal left five years earlier, with her father, Stone. Stone was a famous rock star. Now, her father is dead and there are stipulations for Octavia to remain in Echoes Cove. The boys who were her best friends, Lincoln, East, Finley, and Maverick, now are bullying Octavia to run her off. Octavia is strong but the things they do still get to her, of course. Each boy still represents something to Octavia. The boys get the whole school, including Octavia's cousin to bully her. There are a lot of dark secrets going on in this town. No one is forthcoming with the secrets. There is a secret society controlling things, the Knight's Society. Olivia also has a creepy stalker. I think there are a lot of secrets behind Stone's death. The bright spot is Octavia's best friend, Indie. I'm looking forward to the next books and figuring everything out. I hope Octavia and the boys can end up together and safe.

I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily left this review.

The Narration YES PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!

The narration of this story is amazing!!!! Each character is brought to life by their respective narrator and having the different voices for the different guys makes it so much better for me. This is 100% a DARK BULLY romance because they do some messed up stuff to the FMC, but this is my jam so I'm into it. The author does a great job building up the story and keeping you wanting more. Pre-warning though huge cliffhanger at the end but it is worth it to keep with the series.

The title says it all…Tormented Royal

Definitely a darker story. I almost stopped listening since a few things in here are not my cup of tea. But all of a sudden I start to see a mystery coming out. Bits and pieces of Information are given to Octavia and us by proxy. Now I am incessantly trying to figure out WHAT is going in in this town!

I easily was drawn into the life of Octavia. I really felt for her and hated those boys and her cousin. Some of that changed as the story moved along and I got a few answers. Thank goodness Octavia seems strong and she does have incentive to just not run away.

I did listen to this on audio. This one has the luck of quite a few narrators portraying the characters. Each one did an amazing job getting me to understand and feel for their character. Well done! Next Please!

Amazing

I Love the beginning of this series. After a tragic event Octavia returns to echos cove where she was born . Where she had a relationship with the men who are now wanting to get rid of her. Not only that but she finds herself being stalked and almost assaulted . This book was just brilliant can’t wait for the next one. The narrators did an amazing job portraying the characters.

Love ot!

I can't tell you how much I enjoy this series. I read it first and decided that do a reread this week. The MFC has so much strength trying to deal with everything going on. I do think she should have punched other people more cuz there was a handful that really needed it. I would recommend this if you are ok with the TW and bully mafia Academy setting.

narration elevates this book!

🅰🆄🅳🅸🅾🅱🅾🅾🅺 🆁🅴🆅🅸🅴🆆

Great start to this series. Narration gives life to this audiobook series!
Heather Firth is the perfect choice to narrate this series. I love her voice and it suits this NA story! Blake Lockheart, Gideon Frost and Gregory Salinas are some of my favorite narrators and I always jump on the opportunity to listen to books they narrate. David Black is totally new to me and he is now on my radar of new voices to listen to!! All of these talented voice actors helped elevate this book.

I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the books in the series and seeing where this storyline goes.

This is a steamy NA romance with a few dark twists and possible why choose in the making!

Loved Octavia (Vee) and Indie!! Their friendship is my favorite part of this book!!

A Dark Bully Romance

This was my first Lily Wildhart's book, and won't be my last. This is the first book in The Knights of Echoes Cove, a Dark Bully Romance. Octavia is such a strong, and feisty character. Her men are mysterious, dominant, and protective. The characters are complex and intriguing. The chemistry is sizzling hot. The storyline is filled with mystery, danger, and twists and turns. Heather Firth, Blake Lockheart, Dan Delgado, Gideon Frost, and Gregory Salinas did an outstanding job with the narration. Looking forward to listening to Lost Royal, the next book in the series, to know what happens next. #TheFlock
