This sits somewhere around a 3.5 . I really Couldn't really connect to the characters like I did in The Ritual. Character motivations seemed hollow and really just meant to drive the spice/smut as opposed to the plot behind it.
Too much trauma for me, and the spice was not the spice that I enjoy reading about either. Loved the ritual, but this was too much
Well that was a lot. Don’t get be wrong it was great! I knew going into this one that it was going to be pretty intense compared to The Ritual. It definitely met my expectations that’s for sure. I don’t recommend it to someone that gets triggered by SA because it deals with it a lot in this book. At one point I almost DNF’d it not once but twice, but I powered through because I wanted to see how it ended. I had to take a mental break from it at one point. I gave this book 5 stars because it definitely took a toll on my emotions. And that’s what I like in a book. I cried at one point, then wanted to throw something at a wall the next. On that note, The Sacrifice here I come!
The Darkest
This rating is based on the topics touched on this story. The way it was written was fast paced and captivating. This book is darker than I normally like but I don’t like to skip books in series. It touches a lot of triggering topics and talks about them very openly.
I did enjoy the way the MMC was burning the world in his love’s path. I would’ve liked to see a bit more kick in the FMCs attitude towards the world but I understand that when so much has happened to you, you might just want to give up at one point.
Overall, I would’ve liked for the MMC to be more gentle with the FMC as I felt like she was going to snap at any point. I would’ve also liked for her to have gotten more emotional help.
The spice was very rough and not in an extremely sexy way in my opinion. And there wasn’t a lot of torture of the villains, I would’ve liked to see them suffer a bit more.

Phew. This made The Ritual look like sunshine and rainbows. Def the darkest romance I’ve read. Did I enjoy it?
