One spirals into obsession.
Another seeks to find calm.
But the leader? He wants to destroy me.

All three own me.

At Regents University of Law & Economics, wealth and status reign supreme. I came for an education and to uncover the truth about my mother’s abandonment.

But by catching the attention of three powerful students I find myself at the centre of age-old traditions within an elite secret society that extends far beyond campus. The Regents of Covenant House hold my fate in their hands, and as I uncover truths about a legacy I never knew existed, I realise that in a place where lies wield power, trust is a luxury I can’t afford.

If I fail, they won’t just own me - they’ll ruin me.

Covenant of Lies is an enemies-to-lovers dark bully, secret society, academy romance and the first instalment in the Tri-Rule series.

Entertaining

Wow—I was not expecting this! Covenant of Lies is a dark bully romance that throws you into a world of secret societies, manipulation, and raw power dynamics. Honestly, I’m still torn on whether I even want the FMC to end up with these men… because let’s face it, they are straight-up rude a$$holes!

Aisling Elizabeth has done a fantastic job crafting a world where the patriarchy runs rampant and danger lurks behind every choice. Our FMC is strong-willed, resilient, and fighting tooth and nail to survive the impossible situation she’s been forced into. The men may be brutal, but every so often you catch glimpses of something redeeming beneath their darkness—which kept me hooked, wondering if they’ll ever let that side shine through.

The audiobook performance elevated the story even more. Lucy Rivera absolutely nailed it, as always, and I was pleasantly surprised by newcomer Matthew Sharpe—his voice acting brought so much intensity and depth. Together, their chemistry made the story even more immersive and gripping.

If you enjoy dark romance with high stakes, morally gray characters, and addictive storytelling, you don’t want to miss this one. It’s intense, twisted, and completely unputdownable.

"Run Princess, run fast… and hide. Because when I catch you, I will claim you, and then I will own you, mind, body, and soul."

~This was my first read by Aisling Elizabeth & I devoured it! The bully trope in this book had my jaw on the floor. This book follows Cade our strong smart smart-mouthed FMC who spoke out to the wrong person without knowing the consequences of her actions. Logan, Ryder, & Cole the leaders of the campus become hyper-fixated on Cade & decide to make it their mission to break her. Will our strong-willed FMC come out on top or will she submit to their power...

The duet narration for this audiobook was amazing! Both Lucy & Matthew did a phenomenal job at bringing every one of these characters to life & I loved the accents as well! I can't wait to listen to book 2 as this one ended in somewhat of a cliffhanger!

If you like dark why choose books & a bully trope that will make you rage look no further! I do however want to say please take the trigger warnings seriously because nothing about this book is loving.~

~As Always Happy Reading~

Dark and Steamy! Great Audio

Covenant of Lies is a dark academia, why choose, bully romance. And like most bully romance series, the first book is full of tough moments and triggers galore, but I can see the potential in this story and I can already tell I’m going to be addicted. Our story is based at Regents University. There are elite houses and a hierarchy that involves a lot of dark tradition. Our FMC Cadence catches the eye of one of the leaders of the elite and she has no idea but their heated encounter will lead to events that will change her whole college experience.
I love Cadence. She’s strong and even though she has allowed herself to be manipulated by these men, I can tell her time to take the upper hand is coming, and when that happens, I think we will be in for some good old fashioned groveling. I’m sure at some point I will be sympathetic to Logan, Ryder and Cole, but right now I just want to see Cadence take them down a peg.
Another amazing duet audio performance paired with fabulous narrators just enriches this story so much and really brings the characters to life. If you’re a fan of bully romance and why choose, I think you’ll love this series. As always, check your triggers and if you proceed let me know if you enjoyed this book as much as I did!!

Covenant of Lies

I’m an absolute sucker for a bully romance, make it why choose and I’m done for! I love Aisling Elizabeth’s storytelling but proceed with caution because that cliffhanger is a doozy!

Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe were both so incredible and absolutely perfect for these roles!
