They rescued me.
They held me together.
They healed me.
And yet they were my corruption.

And worst of all, they know the truth about what I really am.
And that truth could cost me my freedom.
Covenant of Corruption is an enemies-to-lovers dark bully, secret society, academy romance and the third instalment in the Regents of Covenant House series.

Story and Narration
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice
🌶🌶
Covenant of Corruption picks up where Covenant of Ruin left off. Our regents are left reeling from Cade’s kidnapping. With no clues as to who did it, they can only go down the list of possible suspects and rule each person out, but this series has taught me that some things aren’t always what they seem. It takes weeks for Logan, Cole and Ryder to find Cade, but when they do, Cade is traumatized and broken from her experience.
This book made me feel all of the feels. I was angry for so many reasons. I was angry at Logan for leaving Cade alone as he did. I was angry at all three regents for taking so long to find poor Cade. I was angry at those who hurt her so badly. I was also frustrated, heartbroken, and anxious to see if the boys could help Cadence heal from her trauma, and could they find and serve justice to those who harmed her? This book is also a good reminder that healing from trauma is not a one size fits all. Healing from trauma is very dependent on the individual and no one should ever judge a person for the way they heal from their trauma.
But if you think Cade’s abduction was the only thing she endured in this book, then keep reading. There were so many new revelations and secrets that came out in this book that you might feel a little whiplash, but those secrets are delicious and shocking. The conclusion of this series will now be an anticipated book of 2026 for me.
Lastly, let’s just talk about the phenomenal narrators who narrated this book in duet style, Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe. Lucy continues to remind me why she is one of my favorite narrators. First, her British accent is flawless. When I first started this series, I was blown away by how amazing her accent was. I had never heard her British accent before. Then there were the emotional parts of this story where I could just feel the raw emotion in Lucy’s voice.
Matthew plays so many roles in this story and he executes each one with such ease. I can tell which male POV I’m listening to by the little changes he makes for each male character. Logan, Cole and Ryder are these very different characters but are also very similar, and Matthew does a fantastic job portraying each male’s emotions and flaws. I’ve been so impressed with his performance in these books.

This series is unreal, captivating, intense, and addictive! BUT, Covenant of Corruption just kicked it up several notches and tore my fragile heart into smithereens! The emotion was so palpable that I’ll be aching for days. There was such beauty in seeing the men’s defenses stripped from them to show their raw love and devotion for Cade. Ryder, Logan, and Cole may have started this out of revenge to break Cade, but even them couldn’t predict they would break along side her, maybe even more then her. These men represent what it means to burn the whole world down to save the one woman that is worth giving everything up for! Narration by Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe was nothing short of phenomenal. The emotional depth these two went into was authentic and heart wrenching! But in the best way possible. Lucy and Mathew’s voices held so much conviction, meaning, and raw truth. Just wow! Thank you Blue Nose Audio and Aisling Elizabeth for this amazing ALC opportunity! Chef’s kiss!

This series I tell you. Book 3 and it’s continuing to blow my mind. This one was definitely much heavier.
You are placed right at the end of book 2, and emotions are HIGH. Let’s be honest, this one had me holding my breath so many times. It was intense, harrowing. Yet, we still get a little glimpse of some light.
I loved the development that is happening as the story grows throughout this series. Reading how people in power can change an outcome so quickly. The views of everyone involved, and the DEDICATION.
There’s too much to say that would be spoilers, but I am loving this!
The narrators?! Brilliantly performed each high strung moment, the emotion was truly felt. Well done.
Can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
Thank you BNA + Aisling for the audiobook! 🖤

Okay... this series just keeps getting better!
Covenant of Corruption had me completely hooked. The drama, tension, obsession and absolute chaos had me glued to my
headphones. 🎧
These characters had me screaming at them one minute, swooning the next, and questioning my own life choices shortly after. 😂
The dark university/bully romance vibe is EVERYTHING, and I was living for all the messy, twisted moments.
And the audiobook? DEVoured. 🔥🔥
There's something about listening to all this insanity unfold that makes
it hit even harder. I kept finding excuses to put my headphones back in because I needed to know what was going to happen next!
The obsession. The tension. The morally questionable decisions. The drama.
YES. GIVE ME ALL OF IT.😮💨
A seriously addictive addition to the series, and l am officially way too invested in these people.
5 HUGE STARS!
Aisling Elizabeth... respectfully, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!

I have loved this series from the very first book, but this particular book is incredible! @aislingelizabethbooks took this bully romance and spun it on its head and made me yearn for these characters to all just find a little bit of peace. The range of emotions that are experienced by the entire group are intense, but Cade absolutely wrecked me. I need book four asap because I must know what happens next!
I’m going to take a moment to brag on Lucy Rivers for just a moment. I have never listened to a book with her that has not been impeccable, but she was magical as Cade in this book. Her ability to bring the emotional depth needed to portray Cade’s intense trauma had my heart shattering and just wanting to burn the world for her to make it better. Hands down one of my top favorite Lucy performances to date!

the writing is excellent but unfortunately I couldn't finish this. I thought I had it in me, as I've read so many books but with all what is happening now in the world and the "E files" it is too much to stomach.
How does someone comeback from such torture? 6 weeks of raping and torturing? Back to the same guys that betrayed her? yeah, I know it shows her strength and how much they are bonded but at the end of the day she has suffered immensely.
2 stars for the world the author has built and the writing.

OH....MY...GOSH!!!! These books just keep getting more and more wild and thebplot just keeps getting deeper and deeper and I CANT TAKE IT!!! I mean I can, I can take it and I will take it happily because this series has me in a chokehold and it will be torture waiting four months until the conclusion is released!!!!
This started out as one of the most unapologetic bully romances I have ever read with book one. There was just non stop torture of our FMC by the three MCs. I mean non stop and such cut throat behavior for no real valid reason other than their own power ego trips. It ended on an insane cliff hanger of a punishment towards our girl because of a situation she didn't even provoke but had to pay for and I was gutted for her. Then book two opens right back up into the chaos continuing ad Cade tries to navigate the situation and contract so has been unfairly tied into with our three Regents and the massive power plays that ensue as she also tries to uncover her mom's disappearance and history after leaving her which turns guttural in its undoing and secret reveal in the end. More torture of our poor FMC, more unfair consequences of actions she took no part in and again left on an insane cliff hanger where she us kidnapped leaving everyone shook to their cores because after all this time, feelings and obsessions have formed amongst the absolute mind games and manipulation unfolding leaving Cade again in such a horrific spot of unfair torment from so many around her, and our Regents grasping at anything they can to hide the truth of their behaviors while protecting our girl who they all are falling in love with, only to once again LET HER DOWN and leave her in the absolute worst situation thus far. I was gut sick at the second punishment and branding that she endured but it was child's play next to what book three brings.
This book was exceptionally darker in its plot than the precious two and I was so here for it. These books get better and better as more dark twists and anxiety ridden situations unfold that feel as if there is no end and no escape insight that deepens the darkness of the plot filling all the space in the best ways where the spice has lightened up. This book is more plot than spice and I have to be honest, I love it. The intimacy that has evolved between Cade and the guys is so addicting and well placed in the precious books but with the context of this installment, you just don't want the spice, you want the story because the story is getting so wild! So many more secrets and evil powers at bay as the guys desperately searching for Cade after her kidnapping that is now sitting at 6 weeks with no new leads. Its a desperate stand still of not knowing where she is or what's happening that leaves you gasping just like her Regents. Once we finally find our girl and learn about the horrors she's been put through you just feel wrecked. Again she has been put through such horrific and painful torture she did not deserve and should have been protected from. It's so dark and so sad and you just ache for her.
This plot moves forward as all of our main characters are fighting for their sanity, their lives, their futures, their healing, and trying to figure out how to reclaim the common ground that had worked so hard for before it was tipped away again by evils brought on by the Trivium and those seeking to destroy anything good. It's a heartbreaking journey that is so addicting and once again leads us to a new life threatening blow when another situation is brought into our final chapters that just sends your spinning and gasping wondering how Cade will ever come out on the other side and how there will ever be any real happiness or connection for the Regents and their Consort. It's just mind bending in the end and left on once again another cliff hanger that has you screaming for more.
I loved the way this book played out. The authors note included a piece talking about how it's spice is more limited than the first books but it needed to be to fit the way this story is unfolding and the new situations at hand and truly the plot is becoming so addicting and entertaining the spice doesn't need to carry it at this point. I am so invested in this series that I did not anticipate grabbing me by the throat when I first started reading and now am trying to figure out how I will make it months before our final book is released.
If you like bully romance. Secret society. Dark family histories. Insane plot twists and gut wrenching plotlines mixed with amazing well paced spice, this is the one for you.

Covenant of Corruption book 3
Performed in Duet by Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️5/5 Audiobook
✰✰✰✰✰
Covenant of Corruption
It’s the kind of dark romance that settles deep in your chest and refuses to let go. It’s heavy with power, obsession, and morally questionable choices that blur the line between desire and control. This is not comfort romance — it’s deliberate, unsettling, and emotionally consuming in this instance because of what the characters have to endure.
This one might just be the most intense one of the series.
But Listennnn
It’s the narrators Performances that takes the intensity to another level.
The Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe capture every ounce of tension, emotional energy, manipulation, and inner conflict, making the story feel more intensely palpable in the best way. You don’t just hear what’s happening — you feel the weight of every choice, every hesitation, every moment of pure inner torment … and impossible strength.
They were perfect as narrators on this although I still would have love if it was multi casted.
But. As the story picked up from where it ended last.
It shows how the characters are deeply flawed and bound together by a covenant that was never meant to be harmful. Their connections are messy, unbalanced, and painfully human as the FMC goes through the unimaginable and the MMCs Logan Ryder and Cole spiral out about their own hand in the situation.
The thing is you won’t always agree with them, and you’re not meant to as this story challenges your comfort zone and asks you to sit with the darkness thats utterly unimaginable instead of looking away.
If you love dark romance that leans into psychological tension, power imbalance, and morally corrupt dynamics, this audiobook will absolutely leave a mark.
Dark, intense, and unforgettable in audio.
I can’t wait for the thrilling conclusion as a lot is revealed in this book that has already ratchet up my expectations for the next installment.

Decent
But with lots of plot holes and mistakes.
When they get to the mansion where the FMC is being kept .....
"Five men were scattered around the space, drinks in hand, their faces transforming from relaxed enjoyment to shock as we burst in"
There was actually 6 men in total, 5 guys sitting around and the 6th had just walked out from the room where the FMC was kept..and yet they only have 4 in custody?........
"They've got four men in custody, but no sign of Damien yet."
Don't even get me started on her hair going from brown to blonde to some brown to just blond again.
The biggest hole is the Dominic Blake character- why is he getting a redemption arc?
Why is Bruce Turner calling him "Old friend"?
Why is the Trivium all about helping Cade with her sexual assault, even sending in a sexual assault advocate for Cade but the Dominic dude has a sexual traffic thing in the basement below his sex club that includes sold children??
"I was right back there, in The Palace, with Blake standing over me, telling me to smile for the camera." Logan's jaw clenched, a muscle jumping beneath his skin. "I know," he said simply. And he did know, he'd seen the evidence, the photos of me as a child in that hellish place."
Blake was aware Cole was being fuqed by adults as a kid. Even if it comes out later (which it looks like with the way the redemption arc for Blake is playing out) that not all is at it seems? Still Cole wasn't the only victim in underground sex club, certainly not tge only child. Blake telling him to smile for the camera wasn't needed.
Where is the anger from Cole towards Blake? All 3 guys are just like "okay" whenever he's involved.
Thomas Blackwood. The man we'd beaten half to death on the Trivium's orders. So the Trivium sends the MMCS to correct him since he's been beating his girlfriend black and blue. The Trivium is against that? But not child abuse and kids being sold to the sex ring below the Palace? I'm sure it was about bad publicity but still, a lot of people were aware of the child sex ring and did nothing?
Also his death switches, they killed him, but then it's the guy we beat half to death, then it's back to he's dead.

The third instalment in the Regents of Covenant House series. By Aisling Elizabeth.
This is one heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride from the beginning to the very end!
Although we are left with a multitude of burning questions, I found this installment of the Regents incredibly satisfying, yet monumentally dark as is par for the course with this series. Secrets are revealed and truths are uncovered. This will captivate you and hold on tightly.
This entire storyline is a masterpiece, written with great depth and brilliant world building. I am obsessed!
The audio actors are truly incredible in their multiple roles as they give phenomenal performances with beautiful charisma and emotional depth it’s simply a fantastic audio experience.
Lucy Rivers is in her element in this fantastic role as Cadence. She brings this amazing and dynamic character to life. With incredible emotional depth and immense power and personality. All the supporting roles were performed with the utmost professionalism and dedication showing great care and dedication to her work! A truly outstanding performance.
Matthew Sharpe is truly inspiring as her performs the 3 main characters as well as all other male characters! A outstanding performance by this incredibly talented voice actor. I fell in love with these characters from the start and even more with each new book!
A superb audio experience and I can not wait for the next in the series!!

Performed in duet by…
✨Lucy Rivers
✨Matthew Sharpe
The third instalment in the Regents of Covenant House series. By Aisling Elizabeth.
This is one heck of an emotional rollercoaster ride from the beginning to the very end!
Although we are left with a multitude of burning questions, I found this installment of the Regents incredibly satisfying, yet monumentally dark as is par for the course with this series. Secrets are revealed and truths are uncovered. This will captivate you and hold on tightly.
This entire storyline is a masterpiece, written with great depth and brilliant world building. I am obsessed!
The audio actors are truly incredible in their multiple roles as they give phenomenal performances with beautiful charisma and emotional depth it’s simply a fantastic audio experience.
Lucy Rivers is in her element in this fantastic role as Cadence. She brings this amazing and dynamic character to life. With incredible emotional depth and immense power and personality. All the supporting roles were performed with the utmost professionalism and dedication showing great care and dedication to her work! A truly outstanding performance.
Matthew Sharpe is truly inspiring as her performs the 3 main characters as well as all other male characters! A outstanding performance by this incredibly talented voice actor. I fell in love with these characters from the start and even more with each new book!
A superb audio experience and I can not wait for the next in the series!!

“Merry Christmas sweetheart.”
"Maybe that's what healing looked like.
Moments of normalcy amidst the trauma.
-Small steps towards a future that wasn't defined by pain."
"We would be her shield, her sanctuary, her vengeance."

*Audiobook Review*
This listen was brutal! Check your triggers as this goes to some really dark places. Cade's trauma is largely off page but there was so much tension until her rescue in those first few chapters which are seen almost solely form the MMCs POV. Ryder's obsession is taking over his life, Logan is drowning in guilt and Cole is frantically trying to hold them all together. The narrators bring their A-Game in this one. Lucy Rivers goes through the emotional wringer with Cade as she navigates her trauma whilst trying to reclaim her life. I think Matthew Sharpe's Ryder has to be my favourite performance as he brought out the character's manic energy in a way that felt organic and layered.
Cade's trauma is one of the core plots of this book and I liked how it didn't just magically go away as soon as she was back with the Regents. Instead, she has to work through it and the development of the MMCs as they try to help her shows how far some of them have come. Logan is still lagging behind the others; although they do turn a corner eventually, the connection just doesn't feel as solid as with Ryder and Cole three books in.
I did come away with so many questions about this world though; like how Julia keep getting away with things when disrespecting the Consort is such a big deal in the earlier books. See also Williams. As much as I didn't like what happened to Cade at the end of book one, it wasn't really explained how Hannah managed to escape a similar fate for the same initial infraction. This one doesn't end on too bad of a cliffhanger but there are still plenty of questions to be answered with only one book to go.
My interpretation of the star system;
3 stars - I enjoyed it; would read the author again
4 stars - I really liked it; I am invested and definitely want more from this author/series
5 stars - I loved it; I engaged with this book completely until I finished it and it is one I will re-read

Covenant of Corruption marks a gripping evolution in the series, transitioning from spice-driven intrigue to a profound examination of trauma, secrets, and political peril within the Trivium. In this third instalment, the narrative sheds its earlier reliance on romance to deliver a story brimming with tension, fear, and emotional upheaval. As the heroine navigates a world where safety is an illusion, she is caught between healing and deeper entanglements with the three Regents who embody both torment and solace. The plot thickens with emergent threats and resurfacing secrets that threaten her very existence, transforming survival into a quest for identity and autonomy. Aisling Elizabeth crafts a tale that is darker and more addictive than its predecessors, trading frequent spice for a narrative enriched with escalating danger and intricate political webs. The result is a book that is both brutally emotional and utterly unputdownable, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next instalment despite its ruthless cliffhanger.
The duet performance by Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe in this audiobook is a masterclass in storytelling. Lucy Rivers brings her character to life with a dynamic range that captures the essence of pain, strength, and vulnerability, making the narrative feel as immersive as a cinematic experience. Matthew Sharpe complements her performance with an equally powerful portrayal, infusing the male characters with a sense of authenticity and depth that resonates throughout the story. Together, they create a harmonious blend of voices that not only elevate the narrative but also amplify the emotional impact, leaving listeners deeply engaged and moved. Their synergy is a testament to the art of audiobooks, transforming written words into a vivid auditory experience.

After the way Book 2 ended, there was NO WAY I wasn’t immediately jumping into Book 3. Seriously, Cadence cannot catch a break. Everything this girl has been through just keeps piling on, and my heart absolutely broke for her.
This book jumps straight into the trauma and then authentically shows the aftermath. The fear, anger, guilt, triggers, and trying to heal when you don’t even know what okay is supposed to feel like anymore. And it isn’t just Cade. Ryder, Cole, and Logan are hurting and trying to heal too. There are these small moments of tenderness between all the pain that absolutely wrecked me.
Logan really surprised me in this book. I see him completely differently now. He was forced into a leadership role with no guidance, no love, and no idea what he was doing. Honestly, it’s been trial by fire. He gets angry, makes choices that have horrible consequences, and gets it wrong a LOT. But underneath all of that, he really is just a young man trying to figure everything out. He’s trying, and understanding that changed the way I look at him.
After everything I felt for Ryder and Cole in Book 2, I somehow became even more attached to all of them in this one. Watching these characters try to heal individually while also figuring out how to heal together really got me.
And those last chapters?! Eyes wide, hand over my mouth. I literally screamed. Every time I thought I knew where this was going, something else happened. The ending had me completely SHOOK. 😭
And once again, Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe nailed the duet narration. They made every painful and tender moment hit that much harder.
Book 3 broke my heart while slowly putting the pieces back together.

This book is special. When people say dark romance heals them. When we say it gives us control back and provides representation, it’s books like Covenant of Corruption. I’ll admit I started this series because it was basically my favorite genre, a dark academia, why choose romance that promised all the of my favorite tropes and a fun story. I knew after the first book that this series was special and I immediately messaged the author to tell her. It just felt authentic but I had no idea how right I was until I got to Covenant of Corruption. This book is about trauma plain and simple, but not just the healing, the ugly parts, the gritty parts, the parts where nothing feels right and you feel like a burden.
We not only see how these events affect Cade but also everyone around her. What it’s like to feel useless when the one you love is fighting for their life in their own head. How it feels when someone you love’s trauma triggers your own. How to heal together and how to forgive yourself for not doing it perfect and sometimes not knowing what to do. There are countless moments of tiny gestures of love and support that will start to out you back together, but this story is far from over and these relationships are in a bad place.
It’s heartbreakingly accurate and I’m so glad I’ve had the opportunity to experience it in audiobook format. the narration by Lucy rivers and Matthew sharpe is perfection. As usual I can’t wait for the fourth and I believe final book in this series so I can finally see how this all turns out
If you like Ruthless Boys, Gallows Hill, J Rose, I think you will absolutely devour this series.

Covenant of Corruption is the third audiobook in Aisling Elizabeth’s dark, enemies-to-lovers, bully romance series, Regents of Coventry House. I have absolutely loved every book in this series, but this one in particular completely blew me away—to the point that I was once again yelling at my phone like a crazy person! It’s actually a little concerning how much that happens, especially with this series. Check those triggers for sure, because this third audiobook is outrageously intense. Every single character is really going through it! Emotions are high, secrets are revealed, and their carefully-constructed lives are unraveling at the seams. It really is the most glorious chaos! I was squarely in my feels listening to this audiobook pretty much from start to finish. This story is provocative. It’s twisted. It’s heartbreaking. And it’s 100% addictive. Book four absolutely cannot come to audio fast enough for me!
And the duet-style narration from Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe is just flawless! Lucy Rivers passionately voices Cade to absolute perfection, causing you to hang on her every word and to truly FEEL every one of those words. Her performance will stay with you long after the audio ends. And Matthew Sharpe gives a phenomenal performance as the Regents, effortlessly portraying the author’s incredibly-layered characterizations of Ryder, Logan, and Cole. He brilliantly depicts the complex emotions of these three men as they all fall apart in their own ways over the course of the story. Both of these very talented voice actors bring this intensely-emotional story to life in the best possible ways, putting this audiobook squarely into must-have territory.

Covenant of Corruption by Aisling Elizabeth
Book 3 in the Regents of Covenant House series
Performed in duet by Lucy Rivers & Matthew Sharpe
I was hooked from the very beginning. This continuation of the series grabbed me tight and did not let go. The emotional roller coaster in this book is intense—I felt for all of them, but especially for Caden. What she’s forced to endure is absolutely unthinkable.
Aisling Elizabeth did an incredible job crafting this FMC. Caden is resilient, determined, and overflowing with heart. She never gives up—on herself or on her men. And the men? They deserved the pain they felt, but they also deserve to be loved just as fiercely as they love Caden. Each of them is broken in their own way, and it’s their shared love that has to carry them through. The story is beautifully written, deeply emotional, and completely captivating. An easy 5/5 stars for me.
Now let’s talk about the narration, because wow.
Lucy Rivers absolutely dominated her role. She captured every ounce of Caden’s pain, strength, and vulnerability so perfectly that I forgot I was listening to a book—it felt like watching a movie unfold.
And Matthew Sharpe? He was phenomenal. He completely crushed each character with such intensity and emotional depth. Every MMC felt distinct, raw, and powerful—the emotion he brought was genuinely chilling.
Bravo to both Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe. The chemistry they shared elevated this story to another level. Do not miss out on this audiobook.

OMG my heart, This book put me through it, there was so much healing in this book and I really feel like we got to know the characters on such a deep level, that I felt my heartbreak for all of the characters.
I listened to the audiobook and read along with my paperback. I literally could not put this book down. My heart was in my mouth for the first 14 chapters. I feel like Aisling did an amazing job of putting us all in the emotional turmoil of the characters. Cole absolutely tore my heart, in books 1 and 2 I found myself wanting more of the Cole and in this book I really connected with him.
The narrators did an amazing job of bring these characters to life, their emotions, thoughts and feelings were brought to life. Lucy rivers and Mathew Sharpe were absolutely outstanding in this book not only did they bring the main 4 characters to life they also did that with the side characters.
This is one of the most under rated book series, if you like dark university bully romance then you have to give this series a go.
Aisling writes with pure, gritty soul destroying stories and honestly as soon as one is finished then you automatically look for the next book.
Books in the series includes:

Would I Read It Again?
No.
Would I Recommend It?
No—but it depends on the reader.
This book focused far too heavily on trauma for my personal taste. While the story is about healing and recovering from that trauma, I felt like there weren't enough genuinely happy or lighthearted moments to balance it out. Even the spicy scenes were overshadowed by the characters' trauma, and that just wasn't what I was looking for.
That said, I can absolutely see why other readers love this book. I've read a lot of reviews where people say that trauma in romance is often resolved too quickly or doesn't feel realistic. This book doesn't make that mistake—it takes the time to show how difficult and messy healing can be. If that's what you're looking for, I think you'll appreciate this story much more than I did. It's just not the kind of reading experience I enjoy.
Will I Continue the Series?
Yes. I do plan to continue because I'm still interested in the series, but I'm going to read something lighter first. After a book that is so emotionally heavy, I need a story with more happy moments mixed in instead of a book that's almost entirely focused on trauma.
The author is very upfront about the content in the author's note, so I knew what I was getting into. In the end, this simply wasn't the right book for me, even though I can understand why it works for so many other readers.

ALC Review:
Covenant of Corruption is a dark, emotionally intense continuation of the Tri-Rule series and easily the most impactful installment yet. Aisling Elizabeth leans heavily into the aftermath of trauma, delivering a story that is raw, uncomfortable, and deeply character-driven.
Cade’s journey is handled with care and realism, focusing on survival and agency rather than quick fixes. Logan, Ryder, and Cole each support her in distinct ways, creating a complex, protective dynamic that emphasizes choice, trust, and patience. Their roles feel intentional and grounded, adding depth to the reverse harem relationship.
The audiobook narration elevates the experience. Lucy Rivers gives a powerful, vulnerable performance, while Matthew Sharpe brings balance and intensity to the male perspectives. Together, they create an immersive and emotionally resonant listen.
This is not a light read and comes with heavy content, but for fans of dark bully romance who appreciate emotional depth and strong character development, Covenant of Corruption delivers a gripping and unforgettable experience.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️(for listeners who appreciate unapologetically dark romance with emotional depth)

♡This series has once again blown me away! Aisling made me despise every MMC in this book all for me to end up swooning over every one of them with book 3. The emotionally heartbreaking rollercoaster this book put me through had my jaw on the floor while I white knuckled the edge of my seat waiting for the next shoe to drop. This story is full of trauma, secrets, deception, & lies as we dive back into the corruption of the Trivium. Please be mindful of the trigger warnings in this story as they are very tough.

Covenant of Corruption was another dark and twisted ride! Aisling Elizabeth continues to take this series to another level with secrets, danger, betrayal, and a whole lot of tension. I was completely hooked and needed to know what was going to happen next.
Cade is still trying to uncover the truth while finding herself deeper and deeper in a world she knows she probably shouldn’t trust. Logan, Ryder, and Cole continue to keep things complicated, and the chemistry and tension between them and Cade are electric. These men are dangerous, possessive, and completely obsessed with her, and I am HERE FOR IT!
There were so many secrets and twists that had me questioning everything. Just when I thought I had something figured out, Aisling Elizabeth would throw another twist at me.

Thank you to BlueNose Audio for the ALC and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Another installment of 4 minutes of all the abuse, rape, brutality and dark themes. I hope if this was taken from the authors real life, these book were cathartic.
Kudos to Lucy Rivers and Mathew Sharpe for enduring such dark themed narration. Their performance is a true testament to their professionalism and talent.
Finally an installment I can review. It doesn’t make up for the first two books that could have been one.
We are now getting to the meat and potatoes of the plot, story series etc.
I could have dnf’d. But why? There had to be something redeeming. So I didn’t give up and now I’m ready for the ending. 12 hours. How much more can there be in the next 12 hours. We shall see!

Okay, well. This one was heavy (this goes without saying but those TW’s are important)— may need tissues. It’s going to be hard to wait for the conclusion to this series!
Not as spicy as the other 2 books, there is one major scene (IYKYK 🖤🥹) that brought more meaning to the context behind it by waiting to introduce it here in the third book. We also get more background as to who is connected to who within the Trivium. Long awaited information into Cade’s background is revealed.
This will end on a cliffhanger! I just wanted to give everyone a hug by the end 🤣
🗣️Narration:
Lucy Rivers- always phenomenal. The end.
Matthew Sharpe- I continue to be impressed with him throughout this series. His inflection for each male character is different and appropriate to the individual. I could tell which character’s POV was coming my way by just listening to him speak the chapter number.

Author: Aisling Elizabeth
Covenant of Corruption is the third book in the Regents of Covenant House series. Please check *TRIGGER WARNINGS * before reading. This is a dark romance with extreme dark themes. This book picks up right where the second book ends. Kade has been taken and the boys will do anything to get her back. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Kade seems to never catch a break. Just when she thinks everything will work out something always happens. This book ends on another cliffhanger. I need the next book immediately. I can’t wait to finally finish this series.
Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe did a phenomenal job narrating this book in duet narration. The way they captured the emotions of these characters was incredible.

Covenant of Corruption is the third book in the Regents of Covenant House series. Please check *TRIGGER WARNINGS * before reading. This is a dark romance with extreme dark themes. This book picks up right where the second book ends. Kade has been taken and the boys will do anything to get her back. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time.

Book III was very dark, but overall still very good. The tone is much heavier, and the stakes feel higher, which made it emotionally intense and gripping.
That said, I do wish the kidnapping storyline had been shorter. Six weeks felt like too much, and after a while it started to drag and feel unnecessarily harsh rather than impactful.
At this point in the series, I was also hoping to see more growth in the relationship between Logan, Ryler, Cole, and Cade. Instead, it felt like their dynamic fell back into the same patterns we’ve already seen. The lack of progression made parts of the story feel repetitive, as if it was going over familiar ground rather than moving forward.
Despite these issues, it’s still a strong book with a dark atmosphere and powerful moments — I just wish there had been more evolution, especially given how far into the series this is.

Oh my gosh Covenant of Corruption was by far the most heartbreaking book yet. Please check those trigger warnings as it is dark. I absolutely loved that we get to continue this series with Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe. Lucy and Matthew are a legit dram team!
Covenant of Corruption picks up right where Covenant of Ruin left us on the cliffy. Y’all what happened to Cade was horrible and will be with me for a while. As we have all learned from the previous books that Logan, Cole, Ryder no one touches their Consort. NO ONE! Watching the emotional growth for all the characters was amazing but no one lost their edge. Bottom line this is a freaking amazing series and the twist towards the end had me absolutely freaking out! I cannot wait for Covenant of Control.

This is the third installment in the Regents of Covenant House series, a dark romance. This series is enthralling! The story continues where the second book left off. Cadence, Cole, Ryder, and Logan's story is intense. raw, emotional and grippingly heart-wrenching, filled with twists and turns. Once again, some scenes aren’t for the faint of heart. The story ends with a cliffhanger, and I’m looking forward to listening to Covenant of Control, the next book in the series, to find out what happens next. Lucy Rivers and Matthew Sharpe deliver an outstanding narration, bringing these characters and their story to life. If you like dark bully romance, this one is for you. #BlueNoseAudio

Book 3 in Regents of Covenant House series
Performed in duet by Lucy Rivers & Matthew Sharpe
Cole, Logan Ryder and Cade
The boys are devastated that Cade has been kidnapped. They still can’t find her. No clues as to who took her and if she is alive.
Rescue, healing and Corruption.
The twists and suspense will have listening every hour. My phone was continually on charge.
Lucy did a phenomenal job with her portrayal of Cadence.
Matthew Sharpe continues to impress me with all the different characters he voiced. All different.
Thank you Blue Nose Audio for this ALC

Entire Series is a Solid 4.5
This is a MUST in audio. Matthew Sharpe makes each character sound unique. I also love the duet style narration.
Our FMC Cade is fierce and I’m here for it.
I’m team Cole. This is lower on the spice level. 2 out of 5. There is ⚔️. Out of the 4 books there are only 2 scenes that had me squirming
This is a series starts with one plot and ends with something complete different BUT the transition is smooth.
There are so many “holy sh!t” moments.
Major trigger: Rape. It’s not just one scene or something that is mentioned….its a part of the second half of the story and rolls into the trauma that follows.
