Summary

 The first book in the new dark and decadent Society of Villains series, this is a dark age-gap mafia romance . . .

He's deathless. She's trying to find a reason to live.

LILA

My innocence was ripped from me one fatal night under the starless sky, resulting in an unwanted teenage pregnancy and a secret the Camorra must bury. So my father decided to hand me off to the highest bidder.

The lucky winner? Tiernan Callaghan, psychopath extraordinaire.

The Irish mafia prince wants me for all the wrong reasons: Alliance. Money. Prestige. War.

I am but a pawn in his twisted game. The man who sits on a throne of his enemies' skulls thinks I'm a weakling. Little does he know, in this chess game, the underdog wins.

Because the thing about bad bishops?

They protect good pawns.

From the very first page I was completely gripped. The storyline kept me guessing the entire time and then genuinely shocked me in the best way. If you love dark romance with suspense and intensity, this is an absolute must-read.
The narration was also done so tastefully and added so much depth to the story. Loved, loved this one!

BRILLIANT

Bad Bishop by L.J. Shen is everything I love about a dark, emotional romance. From the very first chapter, it pulls you in with its intense chemistry, heart-stopping twists, and beautifully broken characters. The writing is raw and powerful, and the audiobook narration by Corvin King and Lucy Rivers brings every emotion to life — you can feel every bit of love, pain, and passion.

The story is dark, dramatic, and full of that signature L.J. Shen edge that keeps you listening way past bedtime. It’s an emotional rollercoaster that leaves your heart racing and your mind spinning in the best way. Shen has a real gift for creating flawed characters you can’t help but root for, and Bad Bishop proves exactly that.

An addictive, unforgettable listen — 5 stars all the way! 🔥💔🎧
