In this episode, we dive into the dark romance book Bad Bishop by L.J. Shen. This is the first book in the Society of Villains series. The second book in the series, Twisted Pawn, releases in April 2026.

During this episode, we discuss how the first chapter immediately captured our attention, why Tiernan might be the grayest of morally gray characters, how this book has our longest list of content warnings, how much we loved seeing Lila’s character evolve and watching her become an Italian spitfire, why Tiernan and Lila are perfectly matched, our shock at the twist regarding the identity of Lila’s attacker, and how we cannot wait to learn more about Tierney and Achilles in the next book.
