Book Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Spicy, Plot Twist, One Bed, Monsters, Touch her and Die.

The Guardian (Ransom) - is always next to Zavier. Everyone says he is 2nd in command, but, Princess Odessa isn't sure. When The Guardian & Zavier is in the realm Odessa is, they agree to kill the sea monsters that are plagueing the land. They kill 7 sea monsters. Now, for the payment he wants for killing the monsters is Odessa's hand in marriage. Not her sisters like it was arranged. The Guardian is usually close to Odessa. He usually is a few steps behind her. He doesn't know let he out of his sight much. He stays in the same room with her, but, sleeps on the floor. 

Prince Zavier (Dray) - Never really speaks. But, he has spoken a few words to Princess Odessa. Zavier states he wants to marry Odessa not her sister like was arranged. The Prince never talks with Odessa let alone is alone with her. Is something wrong with Odessa?

Princess Odessa has always been over looked by her father the King. He favors his other daughter, wants his other daughter to marry and be successful. Odessa is always the 2nd choice, and always overlooked. Odessa doesn't know how to fight. She knows how to ride a horse, but not well. She likes to draw, and read. She's not a well rounded princess. Now going to the new realm with Zavier and the Guardian she has to learn how to survive and how to fight and stand up for herself. 

Will Odessa be able to survive in the land of monsters that keep attacking them? Will Odessa be able to help with whatever is plaguing the monsters? Or will she go back to her home?

I am doing a Official Red Tower Read along with the Entangled Insider Group.

  Book Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lila Ferrante, grew up with everyone thinking she had the mind of a 5 year old. Her mother told everyone she was simple minded. Lila grew up as the baby of the family, her older brothers didn’t really spend time with her as she only played with the dolls her mother allowed her to play with. Lila and her mother would go away every summer where she would be tutored in languages, art, history, and she could just be herself on their summer get aways.

  Book Rating:    We meet most of the same characters from Book 1, Bad Bishop. I recommend reading book 1, Bad Bishop as the characters, history are explained. Book 2, picks up where Bad Bishop leaves off.      Book Tropes:  Enemies to Lovers, Second Chance, Morally grey hero,  Obsessed , Stalker, Slow Burn.  Tierney Callaghan & Achilles  met when they were teenagers and they were mostly together dating in secret through their high school days.
