Bespelled (Standard Edition) (The Bewitched Series, 2)
Laura Thalassa
by Eva Chase
Rory Bloodstone’s life shatters the moment her parents are slaughtered, thrusting her into a hidden society where dark magic is fueled by fear. As the long-lost heir to a royal lineage of necromancers, she is dragged into a prestigious academy she never wanted, forced to navigate a world where her survival depends on mastering brutal, wicked powers. She has no interest in the wealth or status inherited with her name; she only wants vengeance for the family she lost.
Her path is complicated by four arrogant, scorching-hot heirs who rule the school with an iron fist. They expect her to bow, but Rory is a heroine who bends to no one. What follows is a high-stakes, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance defined by intense angst and electrifying tension. As she struggles to claim her dark potential, she finds herself caught between the men who want to control her and the burning desire to tear their entire society down.
This gripping paranormal academy series is a masterclass in dark romance and magical intrigue. With unexpected twists, a fiercely resilient protagonist, and an addictive atmosphere, these first four books deliver an unforgettable journey. If you crave intense, binge-worthy narratives, this is your next obsession.

I’m completely obsessed with the Royals of Villain Academy series! This box set pulled me in from the very first page, and I binged all four books faster than I care to admit. Eva Chase has a way of building dark, magical worlds that feel real, and the characters? Whew. They’re intense, complicated, and totally magnetic. The whole “Villain Academy” twist is so fun—finally a series that flips the usual good vs. evil trope on its head. I loved watching the main character figure out her powers,...

I found the main characters in this book interesting to follow but the main premise of magic ruling lives and familiars that go with magic a bit over the top! The initial topic is ‘breaking’ someone who might be as powerful as you and ruling by fear. Rory manages to remain ‘unbroken’ without using violence or harm. The development of Rory’s affairs with the other scions is a bit over the top. The familiar topic of parents thinking they can control their children is a great part of these...
