Reviews with content warning for Body horror - The Ritual - A szertartás

I guess I do like Ryat he can be hot because he’s so protective but sometimes the things he says like her being his slut is not it. I loved how the story was fast paced it helped me continue and it didn’t make me bored. I guess the whole system of being a lord was somewhat good since it showed them values and everything but the fact that they lied too much to Blake was really inconsiderate. Matt was desperate for Blake’s pussy but when she was begging him to fuck her he wouldn’t do shit and I’m glad that because of that they slashed his balls. I love that Ryat actually cared about her and although he might seem tough he was open to listen to her crazy ideas. I didn’t like how there wasn’t a plot like the story was cute but it was more let’s see what happens next. I didn’t really like Blake’s mom and the fact that she had so much power is crazy she was very controlling of Blake’s life and it ended up being what she wanted but I hope they ended in good terms. I actually cried when I thought Ryat was dead because she said he was turning pale and it also sounded like he was saying a goodbye so I didn’t like that. I liked how everything turned out but the boy they had in which he said that he wouldn’t leave pussy for 4 years made me disgusted because it made it sound as if we were an object.

4 Stars!

I can’t say this was the best dark romance book I have ever read, but I can say with 10% certainty that after reading half of the book and then attempting to sleep. I got no sleep. I couldn’t stop thinking about what might happen next, and how Blakely and Ryat were going to either fall in love or kill each other... Most likely the latter.

While there were so many amazing kinks in this book, I did find myself tensed and anxious at how some of them were portrayed and played out in the book. I wish at some point during their relationship a little more discussion about boundaries, hard limits, and safe-words would’ve happened, but alas… it will not keep me from reading the next book in the series next time in I’m the mood for something super dark and kinky!

Honestly... wtf. I had such high hope for this and they just all fell super flat for me. I love a good spicy dark romance and this one def had the spice but NO PLOT. I mean I am exaggerating there was obviously plot. But there would be one plot point to move the story further and then just an absurd amount of the same smut over and over.
The " plot twist" literally came out of left field so hard that it made no sense.
This was just NOT my cup of tea. At all.
