I ate this book up. It's a dark book and I would not recommend this for beginners because ryat is dark really dark. I absolutely loved every part of this book I thought the way the plot builds up was perfect , loved the way the characters were I just wished authors would stop making FMC'S so naive and make them strong willed , and just maybe once up the MMC'S
 
Other than that the book is just wow , I loved the way ryat's character development progressed through the book I also wished we could have gotten a bit more of how they started loving each other but again other than that the book is great.

I devoured the book , ate it up so quick and I just really enjoyed it. 

If your not a begginer looking for a dark romance book this is ur book bestie

5🌶️ def check trigger warnings on this one. It gets wild 🤪 

Going into the ritual I really didn't know what to expect but I was sucked in immediately. I started it before bed one night and before I knew it I was 150pgs in with no end in sight. I love a secret society story. Learning about the wild world of the Lords. This had some wild spice but I loved the story behind it even more. That's one thing I love so much is when you get crazy smut but also a gripping story. I wanted to see what happened on Ryats assignements, I loved seeing Blakely come into herself. It was a very interesting read and I can't wait to we what's in the next book!

DID NOT FINISH: 24%

this is so painfully pretentious,
the lords sound like big violent babies and there is no substance or plot.

"I’d go to war for my wife. One man was nothing."

and go to war they did; just, not the kind he expected.

wtf was this book? why did they build up a good plot only for it to suck so bad in the end? WHY DID SHE KEEP TAKE THE DRUGS WILLINGLY?! why did they take (approximately) 1000 showers?

force sex fantasy and CNC but not one conversation about limits or safe words, GHB fed to her every 5 seconds, fucking next to dead bodies, secret society plotline barely touched, FMC having just about no personality, obsessed ex bf who didn't want her when they were together but now wants her because his enemy has her, random elopement so she doesnt have to be forced into marriage to said ex bf. it just keeps going

I love dark romances, especially CNC/FSF but this wasn't it. this book didn't need to be 600 pages.

This is a very spicy book. Like once the spice starts, it won’t stop.

The characters are actually quite like-able. I thought i would find them cringe or annoying but turns out they’re really sweet. The plot is kinda interesting but the whole LORD thing is still very confusing to me. So that’s the only thing that bugs me
